Not only do I keep toxins in my household to a minimum for the sake of rescue cats and kittens who roam through my house, but I also do it for my own health, and because I recycle my grey water to feed my veggie garden. Note: I am in Australia and for Aussie products I try to find websites who ship overseas, but that's not always possible.
I like to keep things simple before and when I travel, this list reflects that—just a handful of beauty and wellness staples that really pull their weight. These are the things I reach for again and again, especially on long days or family trips when I want to feel good without hauling a million products.
My curly hair journey began in middle school. My parents prioritized protective styles like braiding and twists. Exploring natural curls highlighted the contrast with societal pressures that showcase the wet look (ultimately defined and no frizz) and placing a stigma around textured hair as unkept which is false. Embracing your natural texture is essential for self-acceptance. Research on porosity, density, and suitable ingredients has led me to healthier hair, demonstrating that understanding hair care can empower others. Sharing this knowledge hopefully will assist and support you to have a simplified routine that works effectively.
These are my ride-or-die lip products — a mix of luxe must-haves and affordable gems that never miss.

Hydrating, flattering, and confidence-boosting — if my lips look good, just know one of these was involved. 💄
These are by far my favorite skincare products for rosacea prone skin. I was diagnosed with rosacea a few years ago, and finding products that did not irritate my skin was a challenge. After lots of trial and error, this is the exact routine I use daily, and it has truly helped my skin do a complete 180. I finally feel confident and comfortable in my skin, and these are the products I trust.

These are the essentials I rely on to keep my hair looking fuller, healthier, and more manageable — even with a busy schedule and changing hormones!
These are all hair dyes I've used in the past, from brands I would use again. Your experience may vary depending on your taste and what you look for in a dye, factors like the consistency of the formula or how long the color lasts. My only concern has always been how pigmented the color is and whether or not it looks good on me, but I have tried multiple brands and plan to test out more!
Busy mom, makeup lover, and firm believer that a good lip gloss can fix (almost) anything. These are my ride-or-die beauty faves—easy, pretty, and worth every penny.
In this list you will find products that are included in my skincare routine, and some that have previously been part of my routine. Either way, every single item stood out amongst the load of products I tried and tested over the last couple of years.
I am a firm believer of “less is more” when it comes to what I put on my face, that’s why you will find simple, mildly fragranced products on this list. For reference I have sensitive, combination skin. Please always remember, that applying products externally can only do so much, the most effective skincare comes from within ✨
