Since I’ve started doing weights at the gym, my poor hands have taken a beating. Yes, I’m probably a bit of a wuss, but I’m definitely a girly girl and my hands are pretty soft. The continual picking up and lifting of weights has meant that I’ve ended up with some pretty nasty blisters and calluses as…
Before I made the swap to green beauty products, I used to swear by the product Revitalash. I’m sure many of you have heard of it, as it’s a wonder serum designed to help grow and condition your eyelashes. The problem with this product is that it isn’t all natural, and in fact contains phenoexyethanol which is…
It’s been over two months since I committed to a full dairy-free diet. For the most part, sticking to the dairy free diet has been really easy. I’ve become obsessed with plant milk and coconut yoghurt, and I haven’t had a bit of my beloved Whittakers Creamy Milk in over two months. I sort of missed chocolate at…
I’ve never been big on breakfast, and it’s only recently that I’ve actually found myself starting to enjoy eating the first meal of the day. For me it was always smoothies, and while I still 100% love these, it is nice to mix it up and alternate options for breakfast too. The other thing I’ve always loved…
Like I mentioned in my last Spring post, this year I plan to wear far more dresses and much more colour. I’m trying to make an effort to get out of my beloved jeans, and into something a little different, and I have to say that this beautiful dress has made that very very easy. Sometimes it’s…
Spring is just around the corner, and so are longer, brighter days. It’s such a happy time of year for me as the flowers are blooming and everyone seems to be a little bouncier as we head towards sunnier days. I’m constantly convincing myself that everyday the days feel just that tiny little bit longer, and before…
Recently I’ve been lucky enough to try out a New Zealand made skincare brand called Virtuous Skincare. The brand is the brainchild of Lisa West, a qualified Naturopath, Herbalist, and Theraputic Massage Therapist who creates her skincare line from her home in New Plymouth. Virtuous Skincare’s main product is the Skin Repair Cream – a nourishing cream…
Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favourite indulgences, and when I went dairy free I wanted to still be able to enjoy this delicious baked treat…. but without having to break my no dairy diet. I did a little looking around on the internet, but some recipes contained ingredients I either didn’t like (such as peanut…
I never really knew a lot about the importance of probiotics until recently, and now I feel like I’ve throughly incorporated them into my life. Not only have I been taking probiotic tablets to help with gut health, I’ve also been incorporating probiotics into my skincare routine. Say hello to one of my favourite new skincare products,…
Can I just say how lucky I am to live in such a pretty place? We took these outfit photos in a suburb of Dunedin called Macandrew Bay. It really is the prettiest place on a nice day, and it was so relaxing just to sit by the water and enjoy some winter rays. This leopard print…
