I don’t know if you’ve heard of this term before?  But it’s a definite THING! “Self-care Sunday” Google it, Instagram it, FB it, Tweet it. It’s EVERYWHERE! How come I had never heard of IT before? Who thought of it? And why wasn’t I on board this luxury train long before now? WHAT EXACTLY DOES SELF-CARE MEAN? Self-care is the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health, wellbeing and happiness, in particular during periods of stress.  One woman put it even more succinctly by explaining that “It is anything that you do with intention to take car ..read more

Today, I am writing about the sunscreen that I have been using for the past year.  While it may seem a bit random to be blogging about a sunscreen, those that know me well, will know that I am a tireless advocate for affordable, yet outstanding skincare products.  And the most important step in any skincare regimen is, most definitely, skin protection in the form of sunscreen. I wear it rain, hail or shine in our increasingly tropical climate here in Queensland. I am always interested in trying new and better formulas, and am particularly keen on Physical (or Mineral) form ..read more

ARE YOU ANXIOUS? It’s Monday morning and you wake with that familiar inkling of anxiety stirring in the pit of your stomach. It starts to seep insidiously, into every fibre of your being. You don’t want to go to work or solve other people’s problems today. Nor do you wish to face the myriad of impossible ‘to-do’ tasks that you know lie ahead.             The alarm blares a loud ‘LAST WARNING!’ reminding you -insultingly- that it’s your final chance to ‘get up and get going’ if you don’t want to be late! ‘Arrrrgh, late! God forbid…’ So now you rush… You str ..read more

Eyebrows are the beauty obsession of the Century! Why are our eyebrows so important? We, as humans have evolved over time and one evolutionary change is the gradual loss of hair from many parts of our bodies, via hair follicle miniaturisation. But according to scientific evolution mapping, our eyebrow hair has not greatly diminished. Functions of Eyebrows Our eyebrows have a physical function to perform and that is to shield and protect our eyes from sweat, water and debris.  They are a physical, protective mechanism for our primary sense: our sight. Eyebrows act as a shield from sunlig ..read more

As October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month internationally, it allows all of us the opportunity to help support those men and women who suffer, have suffered, continue to suffer or indeed support anyone who has been affected by breast cancer in their lives.  Most importantly, it is the month to become ‘breast aware’ and to remind all those you love to also be more attentive to their breasts, become accustomed to their ‘look and feel’ and to report any breast changes to your GP. THE FACTS Cancer Australia encourages us to find out what we need to know about breast awareness and ris ..read more

This moisturiser is taking the world by storm & it only costs $22AU for almost ½ a litre. HOW I FOUND IT Because I am a skin-care and makeup junkie, I am always researching new products. I try to keep up-to-date and am particularly interested when I hear ‘buzz’ around any new product.  Around 8 years ago, the 45+ women ‘beauty community’ in the US started raving about CeraVe and how their products made their skin feel and look. They supposedly contained beneficial ingredients for the skin, plus they were affordable. Naturally, I found this quite exciting. So, I did my research and fou ..read more

It’s no surprise that this year has been particularly mentally challenging for many of us. We all have those times when those anxious, negative thoughts intrude and start taking over. They start to fester and eventually become so overwhelming that you fear you are on the brink of drowning in destructive emotions.  It’s unrealistic to just try to wish them away, so you try to distract yourself or ignore them. Yet again, they seem to dominate and intensify until suddenly you are incapable of really focusing on anything else. Well, today, we share a few cognitive therapy techniques you can ..read more
