A sentence I have said many of times before. It’s so silly because I could have just said “no”. Plain and simple. A big, fat NO. I wanted to say no. I did not want to be the kind of woman who said no. And I had spent enough years conflating those two things that I di…

Song I was listening to while writing this article 🎵: Carla’s Song by Harry Styles

Here’s a wild concept: what if you weren’t actually lazy, unfocused, or “just bad at your job this week” your hormones were just simply doing main character things behind the scenes?

No, I’m not a doctor, but I am a woman with a period, access to real scientific research, …

Song I was listening to while writing this article 🎵: Coming Up Roses by Harry Styles

I broke a ceramic bowl this morning that I made in a pottery class. Not dramatically, or on purpose. It didn’t shatter everywhere on the kitchen floor in some cinematic, movie like moment. It just, slipped right out of my hands. It caught the edge of the counter on the…

🎵 The song I listened to while writing this article: Sue me by Audrey Hobert

No i’m not famous, i’m not rich, i’m not a model or actress, just a girl that somehow got accepted into an exclusive celebrity dating app and called it research.

If you don’t know, Raya is a dating app built for people with either stature or money…

You can change it, without changing yourself completely.

My idea of a personal “rebrand” is simply just becoming the best version of yourself. Basically, doing everything you’re doing already but better. You can decide at any time to evolve into the person you’ve always dreamed of being.

Your re…

I graduated from university this year. I am the first person in my entire family to have the chance to even step foot in a university classroom. I grew up in the suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. In a home with two loving, supportive parents and a protective older brother. Before I dive into my journey, here’s a bit about them:

My dad comes from a la…

I’d consider myself to be in an in-between stage in my life. Finished uni but haven’t found my dream job yet. A lot of spare time and I spend a lot of that time on my phone. And although I didn’t realise it until recently, I have been consuming so much useless media, shortening my attention span and overall, not learning anything worthy of my brain capa…

May is the month I’ve decided to chill out. Slower days, less urgency, more actually being present in my own life. No overhaul, no 75 Hard, just vibes and a few habits I'm working on. Emphasis on working on. Perfection is not on the agenda. Here are a few habits i’m stacking in May:

1. Learning a new skill

After 18 years of structured learning, finishing…

The pot.

There is no moment in my life that I remember telling myself, “This is how far I’ll go”. However, I find it transpired in silence, in the little things that I hadn’t picked up on. The small business I started in high school, and I told myself it was too hard and time consuming, so I quit two years in. The sports I played as a kid, I could probab…

If you’re anything like me, dressing for cooler weather usually means prioritising comfort over style, leaving me wearing a hoodie, leggings and Uggs, and calling it a day. This year I want to revamp my winter wardrobe to not only serve warmth, but also experimenting with textures, colours and patterns that were tried and true trends worn throughout sum…

If you are critically online as much as me, you already know the term. But for the uninitiated: a swag gap is what happens when one half of a couple is visibly, undeniably, almost offensively more put together than the other. Not just fashion wise, though yes, also fashion wise. It’s the aura and the energy that counts. The je ne sais quoi of someone wh…

Two words. That’s all. No long speech, no carefully thought out argument, no pros and cons list for the hard decisions i’ve had to make in my early 20s. Just two ordinary, simple words that somehow contained everything i needed to hear.

think clearly.

that’s the whole story. except it isn’t, so let me start from the beginning.

i was 18. i was in the ending…
