The glorious Luana Spadafora recently interviewed and featured me in her ‘Who Run The World’ series.
Check out the full interview, where we chat about everything from career to COVID, here.
Who Run The World?
My Visit To ‘Beauty Island’.
A couple of months ago, when you could go places, I was thrilled to sit down with beauty journalist, @brittanybeautybts, on the award-nominated beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick, @beautyislandpodcast. It’s one of my favourite pods, and I was chuffed to be a guest on it.
Brittany and I had such a wonderful chat about my career, writing, being brave, and, of course, my favourite beauty products that hold a special memory or meaning for me.
Give it a listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

My Pick of Pretty Homewares
Earlier this month, the folks at Freedom Australia asked me to share a few of my favourite picks from their current collection on their Facebook Page. And so I thought I’d share them with you, as well – because who doesn’t love pretty home wares?
Sandi Sieger, a writer from Melbourne and the Editor-In-Chief of Onya Magazine shares her top Freedom picks.
1. I’ve been looking for a comfortable, functional chair for a while, but one that also adds a bit of colour to my bedroom. This looks like the perfect fit – bright, classic, and a little bit retro. Love. http://bit.ly/zgpoz8
2. I love wall prints and I love New York. I’m pretty sure this map was made to hang above my desk. Thank you, Freedom. http://bit.ly/10Ql1z9
3. I am truly obsessed with this rug. I’m expecting my first baby next May and this will be on the nursery floor. http://bit.ly/W3F4m6
4. I’ve just bought some new crisp white bed linen and it’s calling for some colour and life – these lucid cushions are truly gorgeous. http://bit.ly/X1C50g
5. I love the Deckhaus Planter. I can always, always do with more in the backyard. http://bit.ly/UJ4CJr
Oh, looksy, it’s me!
I’m very, very thrilled to announce some exciting news… I’ve got a new writing gig and it’s with a company and publication I admire and respect greatly; Forbes.
As of, oh, well, now, I can add Forbes Travel Guide Correspondent to my bio. And I couldn’t be more excited.
I’ll be writing about (one of) my favourite cities in the world, Melbourne. Blogging, answering questions and providing expert advice.

The Month With All The Interviews
I was so grateful to be interviewed and featured on three brilliant websites this month.
The first was Melicious where I chatted to writer and talented gal Melissa Wellham about what inspires me, what I do, time-management and why I have no idea as to what I’ll be doing in five years.
The second was in the go-to guide for women who want a fabulous life – The Modern Woman’s Survival Guide. I spoke to Amy Cassel about this very blog, why I like creating and pioneering in the online space and how I keep the plates spinning without allowing them to smash.
The third interview was with the gorgeous Rosemary Slade, a fellow editor and super blogger at Lashes & Lattes, where we peeked into my wardrobe, uncovered my five fashion essentials and chatted all things fashion and style.
I hope you enjoy reading them.
The Hills Collective Project
A few months ago, I was thrilled to be involved in an initiative called The Hills Collective Project. Celebrating artists and creative talent in the Dandenong Ranges, the project was founded by Bianca Lentini and also turned into a book, which I was asked to edit. It was a great experience for me – being involved in a project that celebrates the talent and creativity of my local area and showcasing what the hills really has to offer – right from initial meetings, through to shortlisting artists, to then editing the book; the process was incredibly rewarding.
My favourite featured artist? Axel Axelrad – a puppeteer and the creator of Ossie the Ostrich, not to mention many other iconic Australian puppets.
Pure Nonsense Interview
Many thanks to Rebecca Jade McGuire of Pure Nonsense for interviewing me last week. It was pretty much the most fun interview I’ve ever done. If you’d like to read it, you can do so here.
