I've been really obsessed with this book I've been reading called The Interpretation of Cats and Their Owners. I remember taking a selfie with it and seeing it as a joke, and then it was the only book I had on holiday, and I ended up reading it. Like, I’m not even joking. It’s really helpful if you’re a cat owner, and it has loads of stories. The author talks about a load of cats she's encountered in her life, and I think it's really sweet. Loads of it made me cry, which was quite unexpected! It makes you love your cat like ten times more, if anything. It talks about why they do certain things – it just makes me look at my cats and thing ‘whoa, I have really amazing cats.’

I’ve been very obsessed with putting Vaseline on my phone camera. If you just wack on loads of Vaseline around your camera and take selfies with it on flash, it will change your life. Put that on and put the Boost Filter on Instagram. It makes everything look really cinematic and blurs it a lot. So, if you're worried about an imperfection in your face, it basically saves the day! I've been doing that loads.

I bought a Martin guitar for a show I played for Radio One festival, and it's a really big Martin, but I want a small body one that I can write my songs on. I've spent ages trying to find the perfect one. I’ve been obsessed with this for weeks and weeks.

Just like me, my grandma came from the Philippines and she loves collecting things, and I collect a lot of Sonny Angels. She also has a crazy collection, and she basically has an original Sonny Angels collection - it's made out of ceramic. They're all really beautiful porcelain babies with wings and some of them are fairies, and I think I have about 30 in my house. It's the Sonny Angels of all Sonny Angels. She’s just the best. I’ve always been the kid to collect things, and I think it’s because I saw my Nan do it so much.

The last thing I’m obsessed with right now is harmonicas. When I was recording my album with Rick Rubin at Shangri-La, there was a harmonica laying around, and no one was using it, so I took it. So, I have a harmonica from Shangri-La, and I'm obsessed with it. I can play it kind of well, I'm not going to lie, and I want to put it in my songs. And it's in the key of B, which I think is perfect, because my name is Bea.
