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.

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

I had the best intentions to write regularly for the last few months, but as life would have it - I didn't. However, I'm feeling inspired to jot down some thoughts today so I thought I'd run through some memorable moments or discoveries from 2022. Whether it was a product, treatment or service  - I wanna share! Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Poppy: Such a shiny and glossy balm with zero stickiness. Perfect worn on it's own or with a lipstick underneath. Floral Street's Arizona Bloom: So good I've bought it twice! It gives '70's vibes of Palm Springs to me while the website describes it ..read more

First up, I have been usi ..read more
