If you followed me over from my old blog, you’ll know that I’ve been a fan of Gymshark for a while (let’s be honest… who isn’t a fan of them these days?!). I purchased their V3 Flex Leggings when they were first released almost a year ago and I’ve been wearing them religiously every since. […]

Nothing about my diet had changed, nor my lifestyle, but towards mid afternoon my belly had swollen up to 6 months pregnant status. Knowing I couldn’t get pregnant that quickly, I turned to an alternative: Apple Cider Vinegar. I’ve been putting the stuff […]

Ladder Drills For A Killer Workout
Ladder drills. These take me back to my wrestling days. Hell, but effective hell. I don’t know about you guys but 95% of the time cardio bores the absolute crap out of me. Pounding the pavements or a treadmill really just don’t do it for me so this is why I like to incorporate circuit […]

I’m sitting here writing this next to my balcony window and all I can see are grey skies and a horrible, misty drizzle. A much different picture to what it was a couple of weekends ago when my boyfriend and I went on a little hike through Rattlesnake Point in Milton. This isn’t going to […]

Drunk Elephant Night Serum – My New Holy Grail
So as you may know due to some of my previous posts, my skin has been the bane of my existence since I was about 14. This past winter my skin care routine combined with a decrease in dairy consumption (confused? see my Dairy & Acne blog post here) lead to a drastic improvement in […]
Current Makeup Favourites: Everyday Makeup Routine
Originally this post was going to be a summer favourites recap, but it wasn’t until I started writing the post that I realized most of my favourites were makeup based. So, instead I decided to strictly write about my makeup favourites for each part of the face. Bonus: I have acne prone skin and this […]
How To Survive Your Period 101
It’s that time of the month again and you’ve been DREADING it because you know the hell that it brings. Zits, cramps, bloating, BLOOD. It sucks, I know. Even if you’re one of those (lucky flipping’) women that doesn’t get slaughtered by your period, they’re still a pain in the butt (or tummy… whatever). Being […]
Bacon, Broccoli, & Onion Quiche
Broccoli, Bacon and Onion Quiche: making me feel like a super housewife since about a week ago. To be honest, this dish was inspired by leftovers and my sudden, strong urge to feed myself and my man some damn good food. I could’ve done the easy thing and chucked my leftovers into a pasta dish […]
