This post has been in my drafts forever, but I will kick off with a nice little reflection piece about heading into 2022. In 2022, take your time.

Now, the rest of this post is basically just a love letter to Refinery 29 Australia.

How hobbies have become the ultimate humblebrag: I am genuinely insecure about my lack of hobbies. Yes I like to bake and read and blog but i don’t do any of them consistently. So that doesn’t make them a hobby, surely?

Why are we so obsessed with morning routines on Tik Tok: I have always had a fascination with people’s morning routines. They can tell you so much about a person.

How cuuuuute is this Kosas mini set? Add to cart (so that I can redeem my birthday bonus hehe!)

I’ve been going on a lot of walks this lockdown, and am therefore listening to a lot of podcasts to entertain me on my mission for 10K steps. Here’s some of my fave listens of late.

After Work Drinks: This episode on ‘The Panic Years’ was such an insightful conversation. I am lucky to be a few years off from this but it definitely makes me feel more confident heading into this next stage of life.

Culture Club: Two Melbourne gals having a chat about life – I often find new entertainment recommendations through Jas and Maggie (recently, the book Small Joys of Real Life and the TV series Starstruck).

The Undecided Gen Z: I half heartedly watched The Bachelor this year, but this podcast version of The Bachelorette filled its place, and the some. So entertaining, but oh my gosh pulled on the heart strings!

Beauty IQ: Hannah + Jo + Katie Jane Hughes, need I say more? What a dream team. Basically the founding members of the Weleda Skin Food Love Club.

Covid cancelled my 21st but I’m secretly relieved– We have all missed out on a milestone during covid, and mine was my (and all my friend’s) 21st birthdays. I can’t say I was relieved not to be able to celebrate but relieved not to have to plan the party? Yes. A thoughtful piece nonetheless.
