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 […]
I tend to be a bitter person when I’m single. All that spoon-feeding that couples do; hands interlocked under the dinner table. It makes me ill. I like to think it’s because I genuinely enjoy being single, and I wished that others would feel the same. I had finally reached a point in my life […]
Breakfast, as you may know, is a time that I rarely forget. Since moving into a share house, new routines have called for new breakfast ideas. If I had to choose, I’m definitely a sweet over savoury girl when it comes to this meal. Because breakfast is so important for our hormonal health, I make […]
I’ve always struggled with my skin and hormonal acne breakouts. Being on the pill helped me for years, but when I came off birth control 4 years ago, I started to break out again. I’ve done a lot of research into what affects my skin. I’ve learned I need to be mindful of the water […]
How do you change careers when you’ve never really had one? In usual fashion, my biannual crisis found its way to me. Except this time, amidst all the chaos, I finally found something. After months of ‘life plan’ rough drafts, and an unfortunate learning experience, I stumbled across a University course that seemed perfect for […]
When I first started learning about my cycle, it was hard to remember all of the different types of hormones and what fluids came out of my body at what times. Your cycle is so intricate – your hormones fluctuate, along with your mood, energy levels, and required food intake. I’ve been tracking my cycle […]
Since starting my corporate job in July, I’ve been thinking a lot more about makeup. I enjoy taking a slow twenty minutes in the morning to mindfully apply my skincare and beauty products. To make myself look more beautiful. I relish the way blush makes my cheeks look young and full of life, and the […]
I’ve been so focused on taking care of my physical health and nutrition lately that I’ve forgotten about my mental and emotional health. I’ve gone through big change after big change the last few months and haven’t given myself the grace I needed. When I came home to Perth, nothing turned out like the way […]
