Like most other women, I have a keen set of investigative skills. But mine relate less to stalking my best friend’s ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend, and more to my body and its optimal functioning. I’ve never been a huge coffee drinker – I have an unexplained immunity to the energy-boosting effects of caffeine. Because of […]

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 […]

As much as I hate to admit it, I love a ‘new year, new me’ motto. Any excuse to create new goals and update my Pinterest boards, I’m there. For those of you who also want to start out the new year with a healthier version of yourself (however brief), this one is for you. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Whenever I had a reason not to exercise (injured wrist, holidays, exams), I found myself getting sleepier during the day. It took me a while to realise the correlation between pumping iron and my energy levels. I can just hear myself now – “How can I be so tired? I’ve done nothing all day…”. Turns […]

A ‘you should really start thinking about meditating’ part two (part one). At the beginning of this year, I read a book called Buddhism for Busy People. The author, David Michie, talks about 4 meditation techniques you can try to start you off. I still use Insight Timer, to be fair, but you might find […]

I first started meditation when I was around 22. In 2020, my Kinesiology course in Melbourne had begun and our teacher advised us that meditation was great for clearing your mind and focusing your energy. I have been practicing mediation on and off for the last few years and can honestly say that the times […]

Hormonal shifts, 9 to 5’s, social engagements – it’s not easy to have a full battery every day. In recent years, I have moved from synthetic dietary supplements to one single supplement that is a powerhouse of natural, bioavailable nutrients. Since incorporating this wonderful mystery capsule, I noticed that my energy levels improved drastically. No […]

The thought of using a menstrual cup for the first time can be intimidating. What size cup do I buy? White is nice, but will it stain? Will it fit? What if I can’t get it out?! Despite all of this uncertainty circling around in your head, the benefits of using a menstrual cup are […]
