Affordable dupes for some of my favourite products
When you hear on Mamamia’s You Beauty podcast about an amazing dupe for your all time favourite face product, you just have to buy it, right?
First impressions: Hydra skin tint and Flyer face mask
I’ve been limiting my skincare purchases in recent months thanks to A) a new mortgage and B) a new baby on the way. So, it takes a lot for me to commit to a new product at the moment. I depend on a lot of reviews and ask a lot of questions of my favourite…

What do you want more of in 2019?
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…
