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…
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…
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.

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…
Okay, so I’ve been meaning to put this post up for a while, and since I wrote this one, Antipodes have actually sent me three more lipsticks which I’ll be sharing with you very soon! These three lipsticks are part of the Antipodes Moisture Boost Lipstick range, and these shades are their “winter” shades. As I mentioned…
Ah Winter. Sadly you have well and truly arrived here in New Zealand! I’ve noticed a massive change in my skin this winter. Last year it was fairly normal, but this winter it has been oh so dry. I’m not sure whether it’s been a change in my diet and fitness regime that has affected it, or…
If you live in New Zealand, then I can almost guarantee you’ve heard of legendary brand Ecostore. But did you know they now have a new skin range too? SKIN By Ecostore is a natural skincare range, with products packed full of nature’s most powerful ingredients. With different products for different skin concerns, there is a product…
When swapping to natural products, one of the most important things to switch first is your underarm deodorant. Before I switched, I had always been using a traditional roll-on, and I had known it was bad for me, but just wasn’t sure of the natural options. When I discovered how many options there were, I really kicked…
