Melbourne/Naarm sits on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country, you'll see references to Naarm across the city so I recommend that you understand the cultural heritage of First Nations peoples before visiting - https://www.clothingthegaps.com.au/blogs/blogs/what-does-narrm-mean?srsltid=AfmBOorFz7z35e-qkKRHwAO4Fnb83adgmBFokpgWrd-DoMcloqEIuoR5. I have lived my entire adult life in this city so I have included my absolute favourite places. If you have queries, please drop them in the comments and I'll do my best to help.

I like makeup, but I'm not obsessive. I don't chase trends, but I do have products that I love and that I have used multiple times. If you're like me, and you want to look and feel fabulous but don't want to stress about makeup, then this list is for you.

Every year I pick one day and place my online Christmas orders. It's the most efficient way. While shopping online, I'm still mindful of supporting small business, so I have included a mix of options that I'll be buying in the next few weeks. Of course, where it helps, I'll be saving these links for upcoming sales.

I try and visit Paris every year, so I'm constantly building my lists of must dos, and absolute favourite places to return. My trips to Paris include both budget and bougie options. One of my favourite tips is to stay in luxury for a few days, before flipping to a budget option, giving you the perfect balance across your trip. In this list, I have tried to avoid some of the more common experiences, and give you a list of things that I enjoy, every time I visit. I hope that you're planning a trip to the city of love, and I hope that this list helps you have a magical time.

My home is a very eclectic mix of boho vibes. Here are some of the things that I'm loving and some absolute essentials.

Over many years, I have curated my daily go to books to live a more inspired and witchy life. These beautiful texts now sit across my home, as I rely on them daily to bring me inspiration. I hope that they do the same for you.

Using the Curly Girl method in Australia can be tricky… so here's the list of readily available products that I love for my hair.

Despite always having lived in Australia, my bathroom cabinet is full of French skincare and cosmetics. I have curated this list after considerable testing and can wholeheartedly recommend these products for their effectiveness, and genuine value for money. Everything on my list has been purchased more than once! My skin is very pale so I'm conscious of redness, and quite ordinary in that I have some slight oiliness in my T-zone.
