So don't judge me, but Riverdale is my new obsession on Netflix. Even Lorde has admitted she is a fan, so that's all the endorsement you need, right? I only recently found out it's based on the Archie comic characters, which I've never read, but you don't need to, to enjoy this teen drama. I would describe it as a mix between Dawson's Creek and Gossip Girl, and it stars our own KJ Apa, formerly of Shorty Street, doing a flawless American accent. If I still haven't convinced you, how about this? It's clocked up a solid 87 per cent positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Go KJ!

I have recently discovered barre. I was so confused when my girlfriends asked me to go to a beginners' class, and it's just as well I didn't do my research as I may have chickened out! I go to Xtend Barre in Ponsonby, but there are studios all over the world. It's a body-sculpting class that combines ballet barre, Pilates, yoga and strength conditioning. Basically you get a really kick-ass workout, while feeling like a ballet dancer. It sounds scary and pretentious, but I promise it's the opposite. There are women of every strength level, including some amazing dancers, and all are very encouraging. I tell you, I'm hooked!
