One dreamer's approach to cosmetics, beauty, science, and living a good life.
Hey there! What a week it has been! I've been posting as much as I can and I've even made myself a posting scedule - but we can't always match it now, can we? It's been a hell of a busy week here - I've uni assignments due for my postgraduate course, the boyo has …

I remember at my lowest googling 'ways to feel better' and struggling to find any list that offered me solid or doable advice. How can I possibly go for a walk when I can't get out of bed? These lists were not for me. I struggled with emotional blues for some time and even on …

What a whirlwind of a weekend! Thought I'd share with you guys what I got up to on Sunday (which was my "relaxing day") at the Bloggers United event in Brisbane. The event had been sadly postponed from July, meaning I had to reorganise my flights to come back from my Sydney gig early, but …
