Have you ever thought about the health of your gut and how it may be causing your skin to break out?

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 […]

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 […]
The life-changing act of trusting your gut & yourself
Your gut knows all – above your heart and your head. Let me explain. While your head is ruled by logic – your thoughts and perceptions, and your heart is ruled by your emotions and feelings (which can, at times, be misleading and fleeting), your gut is led by your intuition. Intuition is that feeling […]
A guide to your skin type & skin condition
Have you ever wondered why you may be using a certain product that you thought would be perfect for your skin type, but it turns out that it’s just making your skin worse? Yeah, same. I thought I had experienced two skin types in my life – oily (high school era) and dry (some time […]
