After barely seeing the sun for about 9 months, the start of spring in the southern hemisphere is warming my soul. Okay, slightly dramatic, but the change of seasons I experienced after moving from Europe to Australia in June meant far less warmer weather than what I would’ve liked. I am, after all, a resident […]

Honey – my new favourite skincare ingredient
Masks aren’t usually a staple in my skincare routine. I used to float between one or two when I had some extra time for self care, but never used any consistently. I gravitate towards hydrating masks – Laneige’s Water Sleeping Mask is a go-to. It wasn’t until I found I’m From’s Honey Mask that I […]
Follow your curiosity
When I got really into podcasts in 2022, I listened to an Oprah’s Super Soul episode that featured author Elizabeth Gilbert. I’d heard of her before – I love Eat Pray Love and Big Magic. Watching my life unfold ever since I left University has been both beautiful and jarring. I’ve always felt unsettled – […]
The best protein sources for hormone health
A few years ago, when I was first learning about hormone imbalances and diet, I came across pro-metabolic eating. This way of eating is centred around foods and practices that aid in a healthy metabolism – eating within 30 – 60 minutes of waking up, consuming easy to digest foods, and eating enough to fuel […]
The routine that saved my skin after travelling
After months of using what could only fit in a small plastic bag, nothing over 100ml, my skin was looking tired. The week before I landed back in Australia, I ordered some new skincare products online and sent them home. Let’s just say I went a little overboard with the spending. But after trialling these […]
Finding home
I’ve officially been back in Australia for a week. At home, if I can call it that. It’s a strange feeling and one I wasn’t prepared for. I kept feeling like I should have a return ticket booked for London and I shouldn’t be unpacking all of my suitcases. My floor is still covered in […]
Start lifting those weights, girl
Whenever you think of an addicting feeling, I’m guessing the gym doesn’t come to mind. I hope to change that. I’ve been weight training (on and off) for about six years. More recently, when I have started to train consistently, I’ve noticed that I am now addicted. Addicted to the four physical and mental benefits […]
Why it’s okay to outgrow your friendships
When I was young, my mum told me that the most important people in one’s life are their family. This made sense to me – growing up shy and anxious, I never made a lot of friends. Once I reached my mid twenties, and started to find my confidence, I realised that I could (and […]
Summer skincare favourites
Before the arrival of summer, I needed to compile a favourites list (for both you and I) of skincare for the warmer months. I have oily, acne-prone skin, so I usually always use products that are on the lighter side. But, I do change it up depending on the season. For summer, I focus on […]
4 herbal teas for clearer skin
Even before I moved to England, I loved tea. It’s probably because my family loves tea, so I grew up with it. Just like the allure of bookstores, I find myself always being pulled toward the tea aisle at a grocery store. All of the pretty packaging and the different herbal concoctions. In the past, […]
