As you know, I have been struggling with anxiety and depression since July this year. This wasn't new for me, as I dealt with it quite intimately (depression and i go way back) back in august 2011, however it was hard as I felt like I was finally starting to find my footing. My anxiety is starting to slowly decrease (it is a...

There is only a couple of months till 2016, so its the perfect time to make a change, so then maybe my new...

I have started and stopped my 'journey' to a fitter, healthier, happier life multiple times before. I wouldn't say i failed, but my lack of motivation and determination interfered. Recently, I have been struggling with my health, stemming from my mental health which then reflected on my physical health. I thought I would share my story to kill two birds with one stone.......

A while ago i purchased two of the Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks in a  bundle pack, with each lipstick costing 10 dollars (SCORE!) I ended up originally purchasing 1995 along with Kimchi Doll as I saw a video of these two in a combo creating an ombre lip and I was suckered in to buying them! I think i wore 1995 religiously for a...

Back in the day....and by back in the day i mean sometime last year, Australis released a limited edition collection, where some items were going to stay on permanently (hello contour kit!) and others were not. They released a few shades of these Metallix Eyeshadows, and obviously due to their popularity they were made permanent with extra shades added. There are two shades...

I was writing in my little notebook for ideas of things to write about and post on here. The first thing I thought of was to tell you about who I am. I know that my first post on here was a little 'get-to-know-me' chat, but you don't really know ME and WHY i am going through this 'journey'/lifestyle change. My earliest memories...

Sometimes we need an extra pick me up when we are working out. For me, I feel most confident when I am in nice gym clothes that inspire and motivate me. All but one of these tanks are from Lorna Jane, and that's because Lorna Jane is constantly updating and adding new inspirational quote designs to their collection. I know it can sometimes...

Can I first start this off by saying....IS IT ALREADY JUNE???? how? Well obviously i know how time works, but this is as if time has been put on fast-forward. Regardless, June is here, which means many many things. Firstly, it's officially winter here in Australia. So hot cups of hot chocolate, warm Pj's, and big coats and scarves are among the many...
