My Recent Face Duo: I'm From Rice Toner and Cancer Council Face Day Wear Moisturiser

I like to think of myself as a pretty simple gal. Low maintenance is the name of my game (ideally… it doesn’t always pan out this way though). And when I find something I like, I tend to stick to it — like my latest two skincare favourites, the I’m From Rice Toner and Cancer Council’s Face Day Wear Moisturiser. This year we experienced an incredibly harsh, bitterly cold winter in Melbourne,…

Baby-friendly curly hair products

When I was pregnant with my first baby (who’s now a 3.5 year old… but how?!), I occasionally imagined what she’d look and be like. I knew I had no control over that, so didn’t turn my mind to it too much, but I did think she’d a) be a little firecracker (like me when I was younger — I was judging by the kicks), b) have brown eyes (beautiful ones at that) and c) have curly hair. Well, I got the…

A Malaysian Dream: My Colonial Cafe Review

I’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem lately, and I feel it’s my public duty to share it with you. Firstly, it involves food (of course). Secondly, it involves possibly the best food in the world (did I just write that? Just going with my emotions here)… Malaysian cuisine. Omg… the food of Malaysia… sigh. The flavours! The passion! I’ve never seen such a divided country united over their unbridled…

Catching up

So… 3 years later, here we are! I’m back and hopefully for good. The past few years have been a whirlwind, a blur of nappies, feeds, pram walks, reparenting… you name it. I have so much to catch you guys up on, but I thought before I got overwhelmed with all the details, I would just… start. So here I am, starting! Arguably the hardest part (for me at least) to do, but the most powerful. See,…

Three K-Beauty Products To Restock Up On During Black Friday 2020 | Misc. Bliss

My Secret Sauce: May Coop Raw Sauce Review

My Secret Sauce: May Coop Raw Sauce Review | Misc. Bliss

If you’ve noticed, I’ve been writing on here regularly this past week—and it feels gooood. I’ve missed it! I’ve been forcing myself to just sit down and get into the zone, and then I find out I always have so much to say. It’s a good forced kind of creativity, in the sense that I need to be plonked down (forcefully) and then the creativity just oozes out (naturally). Everything in moderation, as…

Trying (& Failing) to Be a Minimalist

Trying (& Failing) to Be a Minimalist | Misc. Bliss

Minimalism always gets my goat. It’s right there, ever so slightly out of reach, taunting me from seemingly up close, but disappearing into the ether whenever I reach out to grab it. It’s hard for me, okay?!

But after years of casually hoarding, I’m coming to terms with the fact that it’s got to happen. I just have to get rid of things. I know this may be obvious for some (many), but throwing…
