Around the Christmas holidays, we all have a tendency to reflect on how the year has panned out. This year has been a huge change for me – I made the move from Perth to London. I transitioned from scorching summers, ocean breeze and weekend brunches to jammed tube rides, puffer jackets and a whole […]

Beauty of Joseon favourites
Beauty of Joseon – a favourite of many – is a South Korean skincare brand inspired by the women of the Joseon Dynasty. The reason that I bought my first product from them (back in 2021), was because I was absolutely obsessed with the packaging. Silly, I know, but the formulations actually made me stay. […]
The key to long-lasting hydration
Coming up to getting my tattoo, my artist told me to drink a lot of water to ensure my skin was properly hydrated. I usually don’t drink a lot of plain water. I’ve always preferred other drinks, like milk and tea and juice. The funny thing was, after those two weeks of going hard on […]
Don’t delete social media. Do this instead
I got my first tattoo this week. When I told one of the boys I nanny (he’s 8) that it took 2 hours, he asked what I did in that time. I said I just sat there. He was completely baffled by the fact that I sat in a chair for 2 hours with no […]
Should I use a chemical or a mineral sunscreen?
When it comes to the right sunscreen to use, any is better than none at all. But making a choice between mineral (aka physical) or chemical can be a tricky one. In the Korean skincare realm, the chemical sunscreen is heavily favoured – it’s lightweight and easier to wear. But, I actually prefer to wear […]
Sunday self care reset routine
One of my favourite things to do when I am feeling overwhelmed or stagnant is to carry out a reset routine. Most of the time, it just so happens to be a Sunday. You’ve had a nice weekend, and now it’s time to prepare and recharge. This type of routine isn’t something we need every […]
25 things I learnt by 25
It took me a while to write this post because like most people, I love giving out advice while simultaneously failing to take my own. After the seventh revision, I thought it was about time that I let go. Let go of the perfect list. And instead, give my most real and honest interpretation of […]
Glowing skin: The Korean 7 skin method
One of my favourite things about Korean skincare is the post-facial (minus the facial) glow you can achieve with K-beauty products and methods. The 7 skin method is no exception. It has a simple concept – layer a toner or an essence onto your skin 7 times. This intense hydration gives way to a plump, […]
Is it true that exercise improves your sleep?
Whenever I had a reason not to exercise (injured wrist, holidays, exams), I found myself getting sleepier during the day. It took me a while to realise the correlation between pumping iron and my energy levels. I can just hear myself now – “How can I be so tired? I’ve done nothing all day…”. Turns […]
To all the women who have never orgasmed before
To all the women who have never orgasmed before (or just not with another person) – this one is for you. The best spin-off of the Lara Jean & Peter Kavinsky classic. One night I was sitting on my bed with my three best friends and we were talking about sex. As my friends were […]
