First introduced in 1991, ‘Maybe she’s born with it’ is out the door – but is the new slogan a glow-up?Alyx, I hear a certain makeup brand has updated its tagline. Why is this a big deal?The jingle that has been burned into the minds of women around the world since its Christy Turlington-helmed debut in 1991, “Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline”, has received what has being described as a “modernisation”. In a new campaign with Miley Cyrus, the “she’s” will be replaced with “we’re”, which both changes the observer’s perspective to something a little more self-directed and makes it more inclusive. But it’s a punctuation change that is raising eyebrows. Continue reading...

The best non-stick pan we’ve reviewed is on sale this week, along with some other great non-toxic kitchen deals we have tested and recommendWelcome to Worth it, where Filter editors spotlight one genuinely good discount on something we have tested and loved. Each week, we filter endless sales so you don’t have to.At the Filter, we’re on a mission to reduce microplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Pfas) in our kitchens. It is a gradual process, but even small amounts of some Pfas are unsafe to consume.

Ripe plums lend a welcome, sweet-sour kick to comforting sausage meatball noodlesEnd-of-season plums bring a tart, sticky sweetness to this comforting bowl of sausage meatballs and noodles. My favourite udon are those individually portioned fresh packs – I stock up on them from our local Asian supermarket, then stash them in the freezer. Just don’t be tempted to throw them straight into the pan of plum sauce and meatballs, because that way you’ll find yourself with a bowl of strangely pink noodles reminiscent of the blue soup in Bridget Jones!

A delicate but filling winter pasta soup and a roast persimmon and radicchio salad studded with gorgonzola and hazelnutsWinter warmers don’t always have to be hearty and heavy. This pasta e fagioli is robust enough to take the edge off a cold day, but it is also silky, delicate and elegant. Be patient with the soffritto, however: the lengthy cook helps build the soup’s flavour, and your patience will be more than rewarded.
