I first got properly hooked on Mecca Cosmetica products when a Mecca Maxima opened in Canberra about two years ago and I've never looked back! It has become one of my favourite skincare brands because the quality is so consistent, there is an impressive variety of products and the packaging is to die for. But... Continue Reading →
Packing isn't my strong suit. Don't get me wrong, I'm organised and almost never forget anything. My problem is I often over-pack. I always add in an extra dress or top, some sandals, or another jumper just in case. So I try to keep my skincare needs and beauty routine to a minimum when I... Continue Reading →
You know a beauty product is good when, once you've tried it, you can never go back to what you used before. That's exactly the way I feel about tubular mascara. I have been using tubulars exclusively for years now and unlike normal mascaras that paint your eyelashes, tubular mascara creates water-resistent 'tubes' around each... Continue Reading →

A new year is a chance for a new start, and a time to focus on all the things you want to do, see, read, eat and try more of.After the craziness of the holidays I am keen to get back into writing. But before I jump in, I would really love to know from... Continue Reading →
It's been a week since we flew home from a very special family holiday to the incredible Hamilton Island in Queensland and I am slowly settling back into normal life. Before I sit down to write all about the island and the fantastic experiences it offers, I wanted to share some packing tips we learnt... Continue Reading →

We've done a lot of travelling since the birth of our son, because both of our families live all over the place, so we have gotten pretty clever with packing and travelling light. We have our immediate family living from the Mid North Coast of NSW all the way down to Melbourne in Victoria, which... Continue Reading →
