I know, it’s been a while. But let me tell you, it’s not worth forcing yourself into something that you don’t feel like doing and lately I really just haven’t felt like blogging. I haven’t blogged since..
Read MoreThe skincare world is nuanced. There isn’t always a one size fits all, especially when it comes to budgets. The best part? There are a lot of strategic ways to save..
Read MoreGratitude. It’s something that we can so easily roll our eyes at because it seems like such a basic, flimsy thing, but psychologists will tell you that the more..
Read MoreYou know what, it’s not even necessarily the excessive hay fever that really shoves spring into my face every year. It’s the fact that it’s only late September..
Read MoreDon’t worry, I also cringe and shudder immediately when I hear the term “influencer”. Let’s be real for a moment, the term has an immediate negative connotation and I think pretty much everyone, whether you make money off of the internet or not, would agree with that. I think that this year especially has felt like a bit of a boiling pot for influencer culture, there has been more..
Read MoreWellness is a funny word. These days this word is always linked to things like veganism, crystals and apple cider vinegar shots, but I personally think it’s much more simple than the cliché, hippy, LA lifestyle with celery juice and home-made oat milk that we see all over social media. I believe that “wellness” is less about trends and more about what is scientifically proven to make you feel fantastic..
Read MoreWhen I take myself out of my own head and look at whats been happening pragmatically, I am still in complete disbelief over what has been happening all over the world this year. It’s easy to get used to something when you’re living with it every day, but the minute you put things into perspective, compare your life this year to other years..
Read MoreWe’ve got the heat pump on, we’re drinking less water that we usually would in the warmer months and the cold, dry air is evaporating the water content in our skin. Hello WINTER, it’s dry skin season, so it’s time to whip out the thicker textures! My skin has been acting bizarre since since the NZ Covid-19 lockdown back in April, never in my life have I experienced so much sensitivity, dryness and general..
Read MoreLiam and I were truly pinching ourselves when we arrived at the Auckland Domestic Airport a couple of weeks ago, off on our only trip we had booked for 2020 that was actually planned before Covid-19 was anywhere near hitting New Zealand. We booked this trip at the end of January, but we never anticipated how lucky we were going to feel during the plane lift off into the sky..

Read MoreHi everyone, firstly I just want to start off by saying thank you for always being patient with me when I need breaks on various platforms. I’m a one woman band juggling the blog, Instagram and a YouTube channel but sometimes that ball has to be dropped somewhere, especially when crisis hits whether that’s emotional or something physically happening in the world..
Read MoreI think we can all agree that we have had plenty of self reflection time over the past two months. In all honesty, that would be a complete understatement because I have never had this much time to ponder life and existence ever in my short 24 years of living! How confrontational! For me, the discussions between friends, family and even more so with people on the internet have been..
Read MoreIf you said that the skincare world was confusing, it would be a complete understatement, and I get it. There is so much thrown at us all the time, ingredients, products, new brands, but sometimes the most effective way to achieve great skin is to just make sure that you’ve got the basics down pat and that you’re avoiding the classic..
Read MoreI don’t know about you guys.. but coming up with new ideas to keep my lunches interesting has been a huge isolation first world problem struggle, naturally I’ve felt pretty uninspired recently in all avenues of my life and that has definitely been highlighted when it comes to lunchtime and trying to figure out what I should make. Dinner seems to be easy, so why is coming up with a good lunch idea..
Read MoreI’m not going to bore you with the reasonings behind this blog post, because we all know and the blog post title is pretty self explanatory. The fact of the matter is that realistically, we aren’t going to be working..
Read MoreHello my wonderful, intelligent, kind, and caring readers!If you’ve clicked onto this post, you’ve probably been given the official go ahead to work from home while the world does its best to contain and get on top of Covid-19. You’re privileged, as I understand the economic struggles..
Read MoreIf you’re a fellow bookworm, you’ll definitely have noticed that I’ve been on a wee bit of a reading spree over the past 6 months, and I have been loving it, to say the very least. Taking after my mamabear, I’ve always been a big reader since I was little (shoutout to Jacqueline Wilson, Enid Blyton & Roald Dahl!)

Read MoreMy forever favourite travel quote is “travel far enough, and you’ll meet yourself.” and it’s so incredibly true. The more you travel, the more you learn about yourself and it’s really such a wonderful way to grow and develop
Read MoreIt’s been roughly 9 months now that I’ve been without a car, including the time we were out of the country for 4 months last year, but really the desire to buy a new one has only recently hit. I thought I was going to be a ball..
