  What is it with babies and animals – and how come a toy penguin is now in charge?At some point in the past two weeks, I realised I’ve been usurped. An interloper has entered my house and taken over my son’s affections. His name is Pingie. He is a small penguin who says about eight sentences when you push his face. For this have I been forsaken.

  Sometimes saying yes is a problem, especially if you’re a habitual people-pleaser, like meI am not sure who came up with that thing about never saying yes to something in the distant future that you wouldn’t want to do tomorrow, but it is excellent advice. I’d like to buy that person a drink – and I hope they’d refuse.I am a sufferer of the fairly common affliction of people-pleasing; feeling that I should say yes to everything.

  Defined but natural-looking is the goal for eyebrows. Plus concealers with a light touch, and an artful new fragranceSome people are born with brows so luscious, if reincarnated they’d come back as a Persian rug. They are the ultimate face framers. Brows that are sparse can be fixed (I love beautician Sherrille Riley – nailsandbrows.me – as does the Duchess of Sussex). Feeling brave?

  Your irrational behaviour probably stems from trauma – come to terms with that first, says Mariella FrostrupThe dilemma My friends think my behaviour is leading me in a vicious circle in my relationships.
