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 […]

The author, David Michie, talks about 4 meditation techniques you can try to start you off. I still use Insight Timer, to be fair, but you might find […]
Romantic relationships in the 21st century
This year I discovered what a situationship is. From the outside looking in, it’s easy to say – “if we’re not exclusive after 4 months, I’m walking away”. But in reality, that’s easier said than done. You grow used to the way it feels sleeping next to them, the way their hair falls over their […]
Water & your skin
After a recent trip to Turkey, I discovered the effect that water can have on your skin. In particular, salt water, and “hard” and “soft” water. Being in London for the last six months has caused my usual summer ocean swimming habits to take a steep downward plunge. So, when I swam off the side […]
5 benefits of the transformative art of meditation
I first started meditation when I was around 22. In 2020, my Kinesiology course in Melbourne had begun and our teacher advised us that meditation was great for clearing your mind and focusing your energy. I have been practicing mediation on and off for the last few years and can honestly say that the times […]
