What to read: Cher – The Memoir, Part One
“My inner drama queen has become an integral part of the complicated human being that is me.” Cher has had such a legendary music career and life, and now she’s putting all of that in a two part memoir. The first part is on shelves now, following her journey from childhood, marriages, being a mother, and the superstar she is today. Cher The Memoir, Part One is in stores now.

What to watch: Kinda Pregnant
Coming to Netflix this week, the new film Kinda Pregnant – led by Amy Schumer alongside Damon Wayons Jr., Ginny & Georgia’s Brianne Howey, Jillian Bell and Kiwi comedian Urzila Carlson! The comedy flick follows the journey of a woman (Schumer) who is so envious of her best friend’s pregnancy, she fakes her own baby bump and runs into the ‘man of her dreams’ – what could possibly go wrong?!

Can’t decide on one type of food? Head to one of the awesome food festivals happening up and down the country this month! The famous Marlborough Wine & Food Festival is on this weekend (February 8th) and next week, if you’re in the City of Sails, the Auckland Lantern Festival is on from the 13th to the 16th and will have different sorts of food on offer.
