Gift Giving

The last few years have really hit home to me what I really value in my life. And I don't think I'm alone in that realisation. There's nothing like a lockdown to force you to take stock of who you are and what's really important to you.  This has impacted my life in every way possible and so when I was thinking about writing this piece about gift giving this year, I was reminded of what's most important to me. And thus, this year's gift ideas are based on those values. I hope you stay safe and really enjoy this Summer - it genuinely has a whole new shine to me this year.

Our skin is unique to us, it changes with age, hormones, environment, seasons and stress. Looking after your skin can be tricky if you're not sure what it needs. Your skin type is one important indication of that and so we often use it as a way to determine how...

The Art of Aging & Wrinkles

I'm 35 years old, I spent my entire childhood in the strong Aotearoa sun and during a time where sunblock was second to a 'protective' tan. My skin has been regenerating for quite a while and since the age of 25, it began to thin and lose its elasticity. I've...

Yesterday I drove to my closest mall, spent 15 minutes driving in circles to find a carpark. I walked from the gorgeous hot and sunny day into a cold and fluorescent lit building that was packed with people. I stopped, heard the blaring carols, glanced at the stressed crowd and walked back to...

Which Skincare You Buy Matters But Why?

One of the most searched terms on Google is 'natural skincare'. Why? Because most of us have been on a journey of what I'd like to call 'consumer awakening'. More and more people are realising that their actions, particularly what they buy and who they buy from matters.  'Green Washing'...
