Similar to my skin, figuring out what works best for my hair has been a journey and a half. I spent most of my youth frustrated with my frizzy, unruly locks that could not be tamed. After almost four years of wearing my hair naturally, switching up my routine, and trialling product after product, I […]

My experience coming off the pill
I have heard so many horror stories from my friends about coming off the pill after 5+ years. Most girls my age were fed the nonsense that taking oral contraceptives would help straighten out heavy periods, acne, etc. The same girls then reach their mid twenties and realise that their bodies shouldn’t be pumped full […]
Reduce skin redness with this Korean skincare product
As someone who suffers from acne-prone skin, I am used to trying to find products that tackle redness. Inflammation and acne spots never look good on the skin. But, in recent months, I have tested a hybrid moisturiser / spot treatment that does the trick. And the colour is so pretty and blue! So for […]
10 healthy living habits for your body & mind

A reflection of 2023: Finding myself again
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 […]
