3 beauty products I can’t quit

Masks aren't usually a staple in my skincare routine. I used to float between one or two when I had some extra time for self care, but never used any consistently. I gravitate towards hydrating …
Follow your curiosity

The routine that saved my skin after travelling
After months of using what could only fit in a small plastic bag, nothing over 100ml, my skin was looking tired. The week before I landed back in Australia, I ordered some new skincare products …
Finding home
I've officially been back in Australia for a week. At home, if I can call it that. It's a strange feeling and one I wasn't prepared for. I kept feeling like I should have a …
Start lifting those weights, girl
Whenever you think of an addicting feeling, I'm guessing the gym doesn't come to mind. I hope to change that. I've been weight training (on and off) for about six years. More recently, when I …
