Living life in your twenties
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.

My skincare journey
For me, part of having a skincare blog is being transparent about how my skin is looking & progressing.

When I first started drinking it, I was not pregnant, nor thinking about getting pregnant, but I was curious to see if it would help […]
How to embrace change
In this week’s episode of sad, lonely and isolated… haha just kidding. Seriously though, it’s starting to feel like I am just talking about my life on a podcast. Today I am writing about the concept of change – in particular, moving to a new place – and how to embrace it. Change is hard, […]
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 […]
