Getting Active With Fitwear

Before I started going to the gym, I didn’t really own any activewear. When I was mucking around the house, I’d just usually wear a pair of PJ pants or jeans, and if I went for a walk I’d wear my one pair of leggings that I owned. When I started working out, I wanted to look…

Wait, I Put On Weight?

So it’s been about two and a half months since I joined the gym, and I’ve been trying to go 4-5 times a week at the moment, and I’ve actually managed this most weeks!  I’ve  really surprised myself with how dedicated I’ve become to going, and how much fun I’m actually having as I am definitely not a…

The Best Berry Protein Smoothie

I’ve never been much of a breakfast person. I don’t really enjoy eating cereals and toast on a regular basis, and while I do love a cooked breakfast, that’s more of a weekend thing. For years I’d miss breakfast completely, and as a result I’d just end up eating filler foods like muesli bars or muffins mid-morning…

Little Olive Tree Fractal Soy Candles

I’m on a serious candle craze at the moment and I think it must have something to do with the fact that it’s getting darker faster at night and it’s also getting much colder. There’s something nice and cozy about lighting a candle, putting on the heater, and snuggling up with a good book. It’s so relaxing…

The Lonely Label Tee

Okay so Lonely has a bit of a cult-like following here in NZ, with both the Lonely Label clothing and the Lonely lingerie being super popular. I’ve never actually owned anything by the brand, due to the price (this girl’s on a budget), but I’ve had my eye on the Lonely Dino Tee ever since it came…

One Brand MOTD: Dr Hauschka

Dr Hauschka was one brand I had always looked at for years, but had never actually tried until I swapped to clean beauty. I had always thought of them as a skincare brand, and didn’t realise they actually had a makeup line, until I was browsing at my local Farmers store.  When I purchased my first product…

Make Your Own Natural Hand Soap

For the past six months I’ve been making my own natural hand soap. Ever since I realised what was in the store brought soaps I was using, I’ve been giving them a wide berth. Natural hand soap isn’t something that is easily available with only a very few brands selling them. Those that are available are often…

White Jeans

About six months ago I purchased a pair of white jeans. I’ve never owned white jeans before as I was absolutely terrified I’d spill something on them while I was out and about, and would therefore end up looking like a total dork. I’m kind of a bit clumsy so the chance of me getting coffee all…

The Maxi Dress

Since summer has ended, the weather has actually gotten better. Go figure! On the day we took these photos, we decided to take a walk through Chingford Park in North Dunedin. It’s such a pretty park, and the old stables located there almost look like something out of a fairytale. This maxi dress is one of my…

Naturigin Hair Dye Application

By now, you guys probably know that I only use one brand of hair dye and that is Naturigin. I seriously love this stuff. It doesn’t smell awful like regular hair dye and it’s so much easier to apply. It also doesn’t feel irritating on the scalp and it doesn’t contain the masses of chemicals that many…
