Favourite Finds – Vanessa Megan Bug Off Me

Whether you are camping in the great outdoors or enjoying a barbecue on the last of warm nights, the last thing you want is a pesky mosquito hanging around. Not to mention waking up to find you’ve been ‘attacked’ like a 2-year-old with chicken pox.

As a natural beauty, my initial thought was – well how can I possibly find a bug repellant that is remotely natural?

And then it appeared – Vanessa Megan Bug Off Me roll-on repellant.

Bliss Spaces

Finding my bliss | at Made. Beauty Space

February 26, 2015

made beauty interior

Nestled a handful of steps off Church Street in Hawthorn, is a bliss space everyone should know about. But for now, let’s keep it as our little secret beauties.

Made. Beauty Space, opened their doors less than 2 years ago, is the creation of Richie Angelo and Stacey Burt who first immersed themselves in the industry back in New Zealand at Rotorua’s famous Polynesian Spa.

Tucked away behind a simple brick facade, the considered, chic and stripped back interior combines touches of art, mid-century modern and monochromatic class. The ease of the space leaves you feeling like you are at home with your sisters, rather than the often sterile surroundings common to beauty spas.

And yes, they have taken a little of their native New Zealand with them, carefully handpicking skincare brands Sans Ceuticals and Sodashi – created by one very successful ex-pat Megan Larsen.

Favourite Finds – Skinmade

Today it would be my pleasure to introduce you to Skinmade, handcrafted skin care from Queensland.

Of course, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but thoughtful packaging is always a winner in my eyes.

When this brand say the are sustainable and your products come wrapped in hand stamped gum leaves, what is there left to say?

Launched in 2013, Skinmade is hand crafted in small batches by two Queensland beauties and friends – Genevieve and Claire. With backgrounds in health sciences and Naturopathy, they are a driven duo with a huge passion and a big heart for keeping it clean.

Why I took a 21 day yoga challenge

Yoga and I have had an ebb and flow relationship.

I have danced on and off with yoga for about 8 years now but it wasn’t until moving to Melbourne that I committed to a more regular practice.

Two years ago when I started working for international yoga brand lululemon athletica, I thought that yoga might finally stick. This was it, be default I would become a yogi for life. Little did I know, embarking on a 21 day challenge would be the transformative experience I needed.

So how did the transformation unfold?
