Food Review: Mecca Coffee [Alexandria, Sydney]
Reading Time: 3 minutes I am a huge fan of taking my morning slow. This usually involves going to the gym in the morning and taking my time to get ready for work.

From their highly praised foundation for inclusivity that Rihanna first launched to the new Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint (which I’m resisting the urge to buy), most of Fenty products have been highly rated.

THE JUNE BOOKSHELF 2021 – BOOKS I’VE READ THIS MONTH
Reading Time: 5 minutes Happy July everybody! June has been a pretty good month when it comes to reading books.

Covid Sydney Lockdown Again – Fun & Productive Things to do in a Lockdown
Reading Time: 4 minutes So Sydney is back into a lockdown again. It’s been a while since Sydney has been in a strict lockdown and we’re only allowed out for essential purposes.

Everyday Natural Drugstore Makeup Look
Reading Time: 3 minutes I have always enjoyed using drugstore makeup for an everyday makeup look.

Sometimes I actually gravitate towards using my cheaper drugstore makeupRead the Post
