Word on the street is that there is a new kid in town causing a stir in the vegan beauty community. Who's that you may ask? Tropic Skincare.  Now, for starters I wasn't hooked with the brand when I saw them, I thought that it was a typical MLM and that I wasn't going to dip my toe in its vegan organic ocean nevermind become a fully-fledged mermaid. HOWEVER, I was wrong. read that sentence over and over again as it's the last time I'll admit it.  Yes. I admit it. I judged the brand prematurely. I mean sure I have heard about certain celeb fans of the brand but I wasn't re ..read more

When we are born we aren’t aware of our surroundings, equality, our gender, our financial status or even our social standing.  We are only focused on one thing, survival.  Survival is a basic instinct in all of us. The sink or swim analogy. The fight or flight response. We all have what’s needed for survival. Regardless of our environment.  As women, I’m sure we can all share our stories of survival.

This Woman Did Women conquered fear, oppression and inequality to achieve their goals and inspire others.  This woman did is for those women who feel the pressure of “you must” “You can” and “you will” and changes the message into “you did” to celebrate the achievements that have been accomplished by women in order to change the world.

This Jeera chicken curry is a favourite for me, it's super rich and indulgent, but surprisingly light in texture and melts in the mouth.

Ingredients 1 (1 pound/ 800- grams) chicken, cut into 12 pieces in ..read more

Soup. It's like a hug in a bowl. The nights are getting colder and darker and Autumn has well and truly arrived. Which means it's soup season! Laksa soup is a classic Malaysian dish that can be served with chicken, prawns or any kind of seafood, regardless of what meat you pair with it, it is guaranteed to be a dinner table winner.  It does take around an hour an half to make which can be off-putting to some, but it is worth it for the work you put in. Even though its gone in minutes! This Lasksa soup is a new favorite of mine. I love the spicy orange curry broth mixed with thin noodles an ..read more
