Given that we are now at that special time of the year where some of us have more (ever-elusive) time than usual, I thought I'd share what content I'm consuming, and where I'm finding it. Of course, it's beauty content but with a touch of wellness, culture, lifestyle and fashion.

Can we talk about the holiday season? I mean; the twinkling lights, the festive cheer, and oh, the endless parties! It's the most wonderful time of the year, but let's not forget that our skin might not always agree with the festivities. So, grab a cup of your favourite comforting drink and let's chat about the dos and don'ts of skincare during the holiday season. First things first, I get it – the holiday season is all about indulgence. From those extra glasses of bubbly to that second (or third) slice of pavlova or Xmas cake – we are all guilty of overdoing it a bit.  So, rule number o ..read more

As far as beauty treatments go – Botox certainly enjoys a certain “cult-like” status or popularity if you will amongst celebrities (that’s if they admit to it!) and in the media at large. That does not mean it’s for everyone though. In fact, a lot of people cringe incredibly hard at the idea of poking needles into our faces in order to “freeze” time – for multiple reasons. Some simply don’t like the thought of needles, others don’t like the connotation surrounding injectables and others simply don’t see the point – Botox is temporary after all and is a treatment that wears off after 3-4 months ..read more

As we're nearing the end of another year (but seriously, where has it gone?), I thought it would be fun to share the standout beauty products for 2023 in my humble opinion. And full disclaimer:  while some of these items may have been gifted throughout the year, many have not, however feel free to ask any questions or share thoughts & comments below! HAIR ROZ Santa Lucia Styling Oil + ROZ Milk Hair Serum: These two have changed the way I air-dry my hair. Between these products and Dianna Cohen's air-dry method (pre perm) - it's winner winner, chicken dinner. LIVANI Signature Du ..read more

I'm such a product junkie and after my recent trip to Korea, it's possibly hit another level. Thanks Olive Young for alllll your bargains - thank goodness I culled my beauty stash a few months back. However, if you too are in the mood for a new goodie, here's what I'm currently raving about: Refy Lip Blush in Amber for a Jess Hunt inspired lip. B. By Banila Water Drop Veil Tint in Pink Blossom for a barely-there just-bitten lip. Livani Signature Duo for their ability to deeply cleanse while hydrating and moistursing my hair like no other! Christophe Robin's Regenerating Mask with Prickly Pear ..read more

Our trip to Seoul, South Korea was incredible. We ate, drank, walked and shopped more than we can remember. My many many trips to Olive Young were a highlight, and it's safe to say I'm completely obsessed with #kbeauty.  The texture and quality of Korean cosmetics are second to none, and you only need to try a Korean sunscreen to agree with me. When I realised that Olive Young not only ship to Australia, but offer free shipping over USD $60, I mean.  Here are my top picks from Olive Young: Skincare Edition: ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil  Dewytree Urban Shade Cover & Fit Sun La ..read more

I am one of those people who are always thirsty and believe it often shows in my skin - my facialist will no doubt agree with me. When an email landed in my inbox introducing me to BeautyAqua, Australia's delicious beauty supportive supplement, I was thrilled. Talk about elevating a glass of water. On face value alone, it's such a luxurious way of getting your H2O intake while supporting your health and wellbeing.

How was your week that was? Are you spending the day taking time for yourself? I'm writing this from the comfort of my bed on Sunday morning, where I spend much of each morning and night really taking things slowly and it's blissful. We tried the new local Italian-style restaurant Milicia Trattoria last night (Saturday) and it was sublime. I think it will become our new regular. I've popped some visual highlights of the weekend below and I hope you all have an amazing week.                   ..read more

I’m all about rituals this year and giving myself time for and to be with myself. When I told the ever-so-lovely Cosmetic Nurse Injector Emma of @bobbiellabeauty that I wanted to top up my lip filler at a recent Botox appointment, but worried that it was too soon (I’m worried about too much, too soon) she asked if I was interested in trying out the Texoane [3D] Lip to see if I could increase the longevity of my current lip filler. Texoane says: ‘[3D] Lip is a daily lip care with a rich texture providing comfort, hydration and plumping effect to the lips. It features densifying and nu ..read more

Twenty twenty three has been pretty amazing so far. We've had stunning weather down here in Tasmania and we've spent more days at the beach this year than I can remember. While I've always enjoyed a ritual or two, I've often struggled with the repetition, I lose focus too quickly and fall out of sync. It must be the spirit of a new year but within the last few months I've really focused on creating *enjoyable* daily rituals that I log in my physical planner. I'm putting it down to the spark of joy in the act of the ritual, but no doubt thanks to my Type A personality, the ticking off is a clos ..read more
