It’s hard to go through pain and trust that it’s meant for you. It’s even harder to let go of something that felt so real – something that felt like home. But what’s the hardest of all is holding back from punching people who tell you to stop crying, stop listening to Favourite Ex on […]
This is becoming one of my favourite yearly traditions – aside from the self development reflections, of course. I’m learning what the perfect balance is between fiction and nonfiction. My favourite books of 2024 were a happy mix, and I strengthened my love and appreciation for memoirs. In 2023, I read a total of 10 […]
If you type “is saturated fat good for you” into Google, I bet I could tell you what you’d find. The simple answer – it’s bad. As someone who has always been a huge fan of milk, cheese, cream, butter, and just about anything else dairy or meat-related I could get my hands on, hearing […]
Dear long distance best friends, I miss you. 2024 was a chaotic year for me, to put it lightly. Please do read all about it. The hardest transition when moving home was leaving all of the beautiful people I’d met behind. What sucked even more, when I got back to Perth, was my best friend […]
I’ve come to the realisation that I may subconsciously attract chaos into my life. We all feel the magnetic attraction to the New Year – the opportunity for change, new beginnings, a fresh start. A chance for us to wipe clean all of our mistakes and poor choices of the previous year. Because it’s January, […]
Recently, a new sauna opened up in my local Leisureplex. My boyfriend had been dying to take me there, but I’d always preferred using an infrared sauna (which this one wasn’t). Unable to tell if this was because of the magical effects of innovative detoxification I’d previously experienced, or just delusion and clever marketing, I […]
I’ve discovered some absolute keepers in the skincare and beauty world this year. I attribute it mostly to the endless hours I spent on YouTube, but what else is one supposed to procrastinate with when there’s laundry to be done? There’s a common theme associated with this year’s list – hydration. When I got home […]
There aren’t many feelings that suck as much as not having control over your life. I know I don’t speak alone when I say that I not only struggle to know what I want, but I also fail to follow through when I finally find something that I do. Doubt creeps into my mind and […]
In usual Monday fashion, I was telling my friend at work that I was tired, despite going to bed early. That was when she asked if I’d heard of the 7 types of rest. And so began my research. I listened to Saundra Dalton-Smith’s Ted Talk on why we’re often tired when we’ve slept more. […]
Up until a week ago, I thought I’d found my holy grail skin brightener. I’d always used a vitamin C serum, but none quite as transformative as this one. As it turns out, there are risks that come with being transformative. When the serum oxidised, my skin started to become really rough and textured, it […]
