Hello everyone! I recently read the book 'How to Stop Feeling Like Shit' by Andrea Owen (free to read with Amazon Prime wink wink) and I wanted to share a few of my main takeaways. 'How to Stop Feeling Like Shit' is the perfect book on self-improvement that does NOT hold back and is real and authentic and is a great, engaging and easy read. I really recommend this book if self-development is something you're interested in (trick question - It ... Read the Post...
July Music Favourites
Hi everyone! An end of a month means time to reflect and find what I loved. You can use this site which links up your Spotify so you can have a deep analysis on your top listened tracks and artists. I'm tagging all these monthly music favourites as personal as I think my music taste is quite niche and I know it's not for anyone. This month was a lot about discovery which is actually my favourite when it comes to music. I love discovering new ... Read the Post...
Best and Worst Of | NARS – My Favourite Holy Grails, Mehs and Passes [Warning: Controversial]
Welcome to my Best and Worst Of series where I review a particular make-up brand and review what I like (hits/best) and what I disliked (misses/worst). Today, I'll be talking about NARS.

Why I No Longer Watch the Youtube Beauty Community & Youtube Channels I Still Watch in 2020
I watch Youtube on the daily and I've realised I rarely watch any beauty or fashion channels anymore and whilst Youtubers rise and fall harder, I've never really wondered why I stopped. That is until now. To give context into my Youtube watching history, I first started watching Youtube regularly during the good old British Youtube glory days of 2013-2015. I would have been around Year 11 and 12 in high school. Think Zoella, Pointless ... Read the Post...
Clarissa Reviews Cafes | Social Society, Green Square + Our Obsession with Millennial Pink – Is it Wrong?
Social Society 7 Ebsworth St, Zetland NSW 2017 $$ On the weekend, there is no secret that I love a good brunch. I also have been going to the gym a lot on the weekend (Virgin Active Moore Park to be exact) to occupy my weekends (and also afford to work from home a bit more during the week as I try to average 4 times a week at the gym-look at me be a fitness queen-not). I thought I could take advantage of the lovely area I was in ... Read the Post...
Instagram Made Me Buy It | Cali Tiger Jewellery Review
If you have Instagram, you may realise that Instagram recognises what you search and gives you ads accordingly. ANNOYING. I've recently been into jewellery and actually used this tactic against Instagram (evil grin). I did this so I could get exposure to some Instagram jewellery brands out there because I was curious and I kept seeing Cali Tiger pop up and was really sold on their high quality jewellery and flash sale. Also can we appreciate ... Read the Post...

Why is Body Acceptance and Positivity So Important | 5 Instagram Accounts to Follow
Growing up, I always was the 'bigger' one. I've fluctuated sizes in my life but have always remained a UK 12-14. In the last year, I've had significant weight gain and sometimes I even wear a UK 16 for my skirts/pants. I have felt embarrassed and ashamed of my size and how I didn't look like other girls and there weren't many people who were my size I could look up to. Whilst, I am glad heroin/supermodel chic is not in anymore (Thank you ... Read the Post...
Clarissa Reviews Cafes | Industry Beans York Street
Industry Beans York Street Shop 2/40 York Street Sydney, NSW 2000 $$ On Wednesday, I decided to visit Industry Beans on York Street as I quickly tried to find a cafe I could sit in as it began to rain a little heavier. After finding a cafe that sold only coffee and only had outdoor seating (ugh), I was still on my quest to find a cafe to sit in until across the road, a beautiful limestone brick building flashed majestically in front of ...
