Happy Valentine’s Day!

I have always celebrated this day because it’s my brother’s birthday, but it shocked me so much to see there is so much dislike for it on the gram.

I think it’s important to disassociate the day with romantic love and make it about whatever kind of love suits you!

This is a nice reminder too.

This house is incredible and so pink!!

I have to agree, be less modest! I think an extension to this is believe in yourself- your successes are worth singing about.

The timing of life is funny isn’t it… I saw Leigh share this post in her stories on Thursday, and just a few days before, I had said no to working with a brand. It would’ve have been a massive collaboration for me- but the brief was so strict and I felt so much pressure to perform just reading it, that I declined. The brand emailed back saying they respected me for saying no, when it’s often so easy to say yes. That gave me a lot of perspective.

I adore Jack’s Youtube videos and am soooo excited to read his new book, particular because I’m about to embark on my uni adventure!

More uni related content, Jess shared tips for mindful study!

This made me laugh… and cringe a bit- I promise I’ll wash my brushes this week 😅

@glossco shared this pic on her feed and it’s officially my life mission to hunt down this limited edition bag and make it mine. So so so beautiful- if you happen to be selling yours, hit a girl up!

How creative are these artworks by Arna… I’m truly so in awe! I’m doing a double Bachelors/Masters degree so I will definitely be purchasing one of these.

Absolutely beyond obsessed with this eye look! It makes Maddie’s blue eyes pop!

Danica has so beautifully captured the limited edition Natural Lust palette – again, if you know of anyone selling it, I’m a willing buyer!

Michelle shared this genius makeup bag Bekka May and omg I need it!!! So practical!

Ok friends, big beauty news this week was that Mecca Max released their fourth “eye and cheek” palette, this time “Dream Queen” – apparently the neutral palette people have been asking for. I have the previous palette, “Sugar Queen” and part of the reason I love it so much is because the colours are so unique and unlike anything else I have.

But this one, I have to say I’m torn. Don’t get me wrong it is beautiful and I know I would reach for a lot of these shades. But does it excite me? I’m not sure.

There is no denying however, that at $38 these products are incredible quality for that price.

After all of that, I think I will add this palette to my collection because it is beautiful and practical – but I’d love to know to thoughts too!

Tbh, this incredible capture by @thebeautybloss is doing a lot of convincing 🤤

I celebrated Galentine’s Day with my friends on Thursday, we had delicious food and watched To All The Boys 2 on Netflix. The outfits and decor and that film are beyond stunning – omg!

Hey lovelies!

Short and sweet post today because I had to finish it up on my train ride home this evening after an extremely fun yet tiring day. Read about it on my IG (link at the bottom of the post!)

For now, enjoy these links!

I loved how detailed and specific this foundation review by Chanelle was.

I have recently started a new morning routine which has actually been surprisingly fun and enjoyable- so I really enjoyed reading Amanda’s post about making habits.

Polished and Inspired’s post about makeup she bought on sale, and whether or not she’d buy it again, really made me think- often I give in to buying new things because of their sale price. But I’m trying to recognise, it’s not a saving if you don’t need it!

These Kosas lip oils look amazinggggggggg and Zorica has captured it beautifully!

Amanda did a beautiful shout out to me and ROLLY Mag on her page and I’m honestly so grateful for her kind words 💖 Follow Amanda here!

Get a free silk robe with any Olivia & Co purchase for Valentine’s Day.

Liv Purvis’ book came out this week- it looks lovely and I can’t wait to read it!

Happy Friday! It is a hot one here in Melbourne…

I’m feeling good this week- I’ve done lots of socialising and have plans for more to come too so I’m trying to recharge my social battery when I can haha.

Enjoy the links!

Soooo a nine year old didn’t know who One Direction is and that is just… upsetting.

Discovered the travel company called July via the Feather and Noise IG page. So freaking cute!

How gorgeous and glowy is Katie’s makeup?! And it’s all from Woolies… yep! Unfortunately the Cc cream has only two shades and so they don’t match me. I’m so sad because the actual formula is incredible.

Mandy has beautifully captured the new CP blush and nudes collection. I want it so bad! But I resisted purchasing anything from the 25% off sale last week- go me!

Janae has her nighttime routine seriously so organised. Think I might try categorising my skincare based on different nights!

Sophie said this was a good read for freelancers, students (soon to be me!), self-employed and creatives! But also anyone who just wants to be productive. I am a serial procrastinator so I need all the advice I can get!

The amount of girl love at the Grammys – THIS IS WHAT WE NEED.

Productivity tips.

Go To released a new product this week – a face oil cleanser! – and the beauty community went a bit crazy for it. @glossco has shared her review here. It’s definitely on my Wishlist!

Lilly had skittles in her purse at the Grammys and honestly – new life goals! 😂

Thanks to @allmyshittymakeup, o really want these pink Sudio earphones! But I think they’ll be practical for when I go to uni etc… right?!

The first Week Latte of 2020 is finally here!!

We’ve had some set backs, but my IG account has been restored (no idea how or why) and so I’m just trying to live in the moment with my blog and IG. Particularly because I don’t know if it could be taken away again.

I’ve been collating this post for ages so apologies if it’s all over the place and content is old.

But I hope you enjoy nonetheless!

Sam did a No Buy for three months, and if the queen can do it…. I can, maybe?

I am loving watching all of the ‘best of 2019’ videos…

Judy’s and Allie’s are my fave videos, and loved both Jasmine and Kate’s blog recaps. Laura also did a fab reflective post- looks like a lot of us have ‘buying less’ as a 2020 goal!

I discovered a new Youtuber- Amy Serrano– through the black hole of Youtube itself, and this pink eye look she did is incredible!

I love how Daisy created this 2020 Aspirations post. I’ve really wanted to achieve a similar goal this year, and Daisy phrased it perfectly…. “I hope to make more exciting and thoughtful weekend plans – okay so this one sounds a bit strange, let me explain what I mean… what I really mean, is that I’d like to make more of a conscious effort to plan exciting things for weekends.“

Mamamia has me inspired to add to my ‘to be read’ pile, here and here.

I’m super inspired to try a natural, balm style deodorant this year after reading Roxane’s post.

Daisy has created a digital calendar, which you can buy and all proceeds go to the red Cross to help those fighting, and those affected by, Australia’s fire crisis. It is so beautiful and thoughtful, I’ll be using it as my desktop background.

I hope to go on a low buy this year, and was super inspired by the boundaries Polished and Inspired has created for herself.

I discovered the blog section of Olivia & Co and loved this post.

Anna’s monthly newsletter was chockablock with interesting links, like this look into new age Instagram and this Into the Gloss piece.

Katy makes such incredible videos- but it’s this book recommendation that I want to share, ‘Creative Blindness’.

New Year mood.

Pretty things by Amy.

Sally featured the monthly subscription box “My Lady Box” which sounds like such a fab idea!

I’m tempted to get these Fourth Ray minis in my next CP order! Pic by Courtney.

How stunning is this photo?!?

If I’m honest, I’ve have been utterly consumed by the Black Friday sales this week.

It’s kind of scary to see how easily persuaded I am by a bargain.

I have heaps of Black Friday account over on IG, so I’m leaving this post strictly Black Friday free.

I just need a breather ha.

Enjoy the links x

The idea of a the “perfect” holiday has dawned on me, as I have been preparing my Blogmas series. It would be easy to think, by the posts I have planned, that I have a busy schedule filled with celebrations. And whilst this is somewhat true, it’s not all rainbows and sunshine. There is a lot of anticipation, decision making, social anxiety and uncomfortableness involved in this process to.

“For as many people who are talking about or posting about a very edited version of their holiday plans, there are likely just as many not sharing at all.”

Read more on Wit & Delight here.

Hannah being a babe, as usual.

I discovered Bianca through her fantastic “best and worst of colourpop” post here. This is a fun beauty chat she’s done recently too.

I saw this on Leigh’s stories… a delicate design necklace of which all proceeds go to Make A Wish.

I realise I’ve never actually talked about this sunscreen but it’s my current fave. I have a dedicated SPF post coming during Blogmas so we can chat more then.

This journal is soooo stunning!

I’m venturing to Kmart today to hopefully pick up these gorgeous bags that Daisy found!

This eye look is dreamy!
