Taking care of my skin has always been important to me. Even as a teenager, I had a strong routine and knew that if I had a good skin foundation, then I wouldn’t have to wear as much make-up and my skin would look younger for longer. So, when Woolworths approached me to come on board to be the face of their new skin care range voeu (which is French for wish, cause who doesn’t wish for great skin?!), I was very excited and a little intrigued to see what the range was all about.

I’ve always been one for a morning and evening beauty routine. I’ve said time and time again that the one thing I have never let slide since becoming a mother is time for ‘getting ready’ in the morning. I have always found a way – even if that means piling the kids into the bathroom for a sometimes ‘colourful’ half an hour, I have stuck to my guns and never missed a morning. To me, it’s important to start my day feeling good, and, showering, moisturising, doing my hair and putting on my face, is the best start to a productive day. I know it sounds so simple, but it’s one of those things that boosts my happiness! Body moisturising is one thing I will never go without. It’s a step in my routine that I know my skin thanks me for – here’s why I’m doing it and you should too!

Christmas is almost here, and we all know and love the feeling of giving and receiving gifts. But what if you could give a gift that also gives back?

The Body Shop along with international charity WaterAid are giving you the chance to be a part of change that transforms the lives of those living in Ethiopia with no access to safe water.

I am a huge fan of nudity, hold on, what? In recent times, I have become slightly obsessed with nude nails. What’s not to love? It goes with every outfit, its classic, and lets face it, if you chip it, it is easier to conceal than a fluro yellow dent!

I have a secret weapon in my beauty kit…drum roll…SALT SPRAY! It is the best thing that ever happened to my fine, limp straight hair. The purpose of salt spray is to give it that salty, gritty, textured feel your hair has right as you get out the ocean.
