I don’t know loads about Buddhism, but I do know it involves practising calm, wisdom and compassion.

Kodo Nishimura makeup artistThis Buddhist monk is also a celebrity makeup artist

And according to one Buddhist monk, in particular, fierce contouring.

26-year-old Kodo Nishimura from Toyko only became a monk as recently as 2015 – but once, after helping a friend with her makeup and seeing how pleased she was with the results, realised he had another important skill.

This year’s SAG awards was a little different.

Of course it had all the usual glamour of a US awards ceremony – beautiful dresses and oodles of famous faces. But it also had something else. A sense of obligation. Many celebrities clearly feel that they have been given a voice and that their voice must be used for something important.

2008 was an innocent and optimistic time on the internet.

Before we’d pledged our first borns to Amazon and thought that the peer-reviewing system in online shopping would stop our money falling into the wrong hands.

There’s nothing like coming home and cuddling your pet to make you feel better after a stressful day of dealing with idiots.

Your pet knows you better than anyone else. They’re there for you when everyone is unavailable. They’ll love you forever (as long as you keep providing them with grub).  They’ll provide you with excellent succour when all you want to do is cry into their fur.

Having made it through Dry January and pretended we liked green juices, we all deserve an Oscar, a Bafta or at least a glass of vino for our acting skills.

Let’s be honest, it’s a bleak month, and the only thing guaranteed to help us get through it is forbidden. How’s that for cruel irony?

For many of us, day one of Wet February will be our first proper tipple in four weeks, so we need to approach our drinking selection with a bit of class.

So, to kick off the New Drinking Year, I’ve picked five of the most highly-rated, award-winning wines available on a shelf or mouse-click near you.

And so would these roses made out of beef jerky, to be fair – but at least you’d get to eat them first.

Yes, I’m indeed talking about a beef bouquet, a flesh garland; strips of dried lean meat moulded into the shape of some plants.
