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…

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…
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…
Following on from my Upper Body Workout Routine, here is what exercises I do when I want to train my lower body. Leg day for me is always the hardest as I still have issues with my left leg from an operation I had on it ten years ago. They cut through the muscle near my knee…
