The inspiration (& information) for this post comes from a book I have recently finished reading, called ‘The Defining Decade’ by clinical psychologist Dr Meg Jay. I gave a brief overview of this amazing book in a previous post, but I thought it also deserved to stand on its own. How many of you have […]

My skincare journey
For me, part of having a skincare blog is being transparent about how my skin is looking & progressing. Having always struggled with gut health and acne-prone skin, I put a lot of time into making sure I am keeping a healthy lifestyle – eating well, exercising and taking care of my emotional health. Sometimes […]
The impact gut health has on your skin
Have you ever thought about the health of your gut and how it may be causing your skin to break out? Our gut and its microbiome affect more than we realise. 70% of our immune system is actually found within the gut – it’s responsible for very important detoxifying and metabolising processes.

3 self help books that could change your life
It’s crazy to think that 3 years ago, I had hardly read any books in my life (apart from the occasional novel about bears or a mandatory school curriculum book). In 2021, I made the New Year’s resolution to read 1 book a month. Although I only ended up reading 7 books for the year […]

I tried gua sha for 2 weeks – here’s what happened
I’ve read a lot of benefits online about gua sha and jade roller tools and was curious to know what they could do for my skin. It seemed that celebrities loved them to reduce puffiness in their face, but I wasn’t sure how much of a reliable source that was. So, I decided to purchase […]
4 reasons you should switch to Korean skincare
Korean beauty, or K-beauty as it’s so often called, is an industry that has grown in popularity over the years – and for good reason. Although I am not Korean, there is something about K-beauty products that keep me coming back. Believe me when I say I have tried a lot of skincare products, and […]
Foods to eat for brighter skin
Brighter skin, softer skin, glowing skin – where can I get that?! How can I brighten my skin? It may not be a surprise to you that working from the inside out is the way to go. The brightening we’re talking about is evening out the skin tone, reducing dullness, and balancing the oils and […]
