    how to keep your makeup tools clean

    The other day, watching a makeup tutorial live stream with Patrycja Dobrzeniecka on Instagram by Vogue Polska it got me thinking: how do you keep your makeup brushes clean? As someone who is a lot more au naturale than makeup heavy – largely because I have super sensitive skin and most products (other than certain […]

    we need to talk about boobs

    For the second month in a row, I’ve felt some pain in my left boob leading into my period. The first time I noticed it, I got worried, yes, but I thought: “OK well, I don’t feel a bump as such. So, let’s just see what happens. If it goes away and never comes back […]

    happy new financial year

    happy new financial year

    Since posting my previous blog, make ‘friends with money’, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my personal finances and about ways to get ahead.

    make ‘friends with money’

    make ‘friends with money’

    Let’s face it, most of us could do with some up-skilling in the ‘managing personal finances’ department – I know, I definitely could! With many of Australians now in lockdown (looking at you, Sydney) and with many others bouncing between lockdown and freedom (ahem, Brisbane), managing personal finances is getting trickier by the day. Maybe […]

    songs and your memories

    I’ve always said there’s a song for every life event. Songs for break ups, make ups and everything in between. “I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over …” The original theme song to cult classic, Dawson’s Creek but it also brings back memories of summers at Seaford beach, spag bol’ and […]

    the gin to my tonic

    Did you know that “all gins must contain juniper – in fact, the predominant flavour must be juniper, otherwise the drink can’t be defined as gin, by law”? Well, that’s a “crucial” little fun fact I discovered while perusing all things gin on the ol’ www this morning, more specifically on the Craft Gin Club […]
