If I were going to guess how many strands of grey hair I have on my head, I’d take a punt and say about a hundred. I could have more or I could have less, but the point is that I have them. And the numbers are growing each year. I always have the option...
Manila, Philippines: I can name three things many Filipinos are extraordinarily passionate about: Basketball, karaoke, and Miss Universe. Today I’ll tell you a story about the third. When I was eight, the Philippines hosted this worldwide pageant. Back then, my family lived 12 hours away from Manila, in a province where it’s common to meet...
The demand for eco-friendly and responsible products have never been so strong. Embracing a greener lifestyle isn’t just about protecting the environment; it can also mean improving your health and your overall quality of life. It is also about how to live more sustainably, to preserve the limited resources that we have and putting a...
I was lucky to be acne-free all throughout high school. I’m not exaggerating, my skin was flawless. Blemishes were a rare occurrence and seeing a pimple was even rarer. I honestly could not tell you the difference between white heads or blackheads because I didn’t know what either looked like and I was even less...

Whilst I can’t speak for Jackie (head over to her blog to read how she maintains an eco friendly beauty regime)...
Once upon a time, in a land not too far from here, lived a girl named Jennifer. Small in stature, tiny in frame, possessing exotic features and a mind that worked overtime, Jennifer was raised like any other typical girl. Taught from a young age that external beauty is highly valued in our society,...
Mindful living is about living life in a state of consciousness, of being fully aware and connecting yourself with the present moment. Although I haven’t perfected the art of complete mindfulness (business planning and counting down to see my fiance can certainly get in the way of living in the ‘now’) I endeavour to live...
In my social circles, I am a well-known fashionista and lover of all things fashion. But I’m quick to point out to new acquaintances that I am not a narcissist – I just enjoy taking pride in my appearance and love the creative aspect of fashion. If you’re a new reader, I’m sure you don’t...
