Harbour Bridge walk and The Rocks

The other day, my two friends and I decided to visit the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We currently have a lot of free time on our hands and so we thought we should one day just take a casual stroll on the bridge for some light exercise and some fresh air. 


Afterwards we wondered around the markets at The Rocks, and then decided to go to Pancakes on the Rocks for dinner!

DIY: Coffee scrub

Since it's winter here in Australia I've really concentrated on my skin and keeping it hydrated and moisturised, so I decided to try out a coffee scrub!

Food Adventures: Scones, Tea and chocolates

Hello lovelies! today's post is just going to be a short one on my random trip around the city!


The first place I visited was the David Jones Food Hall. I'd heard a lot about the Food Hall but had never been in there until a few days ago. It was amazing and had a variety of different foods, ranging from chocolates and lollies to grill bars and sushi train. The first thing I went for was the Chocolate covered Strawberry with coconut. I know what you're thinking, it's such a boring choice considering my options, but the heart wants what the heart wants. It was 3 dollars, not sure if it was worth it, but nonetheless it was still a good strawberry - not too small in size and super juicy, balancing out the rich chocolate. 



My friend decided to buy a chocolate strawberry too, and also a coconut mousse from Misschu. The coconut mousse was adorably wrapped in some banana leaf and placed in a mini takeaway box (you get 2 of them in the box). Under the layer of mousse was also some coconut jelly with some coconut pieces. My friend said it was really authentic, she loved it!


Next thing I really wanted to try was this chocolate penguin. I was sold from the moment I saw it, it was so cute. It was made from dark and white chocolate with a mango filling. This one was definitely more rich compared to the strawberry, I needed a few sips of water afterwards, but it was still really good, I loved the mango filling - I think it was either a ganache or a mousse. 


Next place we ventured off to was the Tea Salon, which is situated within Westfield Sydney. It wasn't an actual store, more like a space - but a really beautifully decorated space. I felt super classy as soon as I stepped into its boundaries. I ordered a White chocolate and cranberry scone and the China Sencha tea. 




That scone was so lovely and moist, with the right amount of white chocolate and cranberries, and it came with a side of strawberry jam and cream. The tea was also amazing and really helped cleanse my palette afterwards. But what I really fell in love with was the tea pot and matching tea cup they gave me for my tea! 






My friend ordered the Haigh's Chocolate Scone, which came with a side of melted chocolate and cream, and a Skim Latte. 

Hope you guys enjoyed this short post, and I'll see you in my next one, take care!

Blush Cosmetics Haul

I’ve always wanted to try some Korean cosmetics, and that opportunity came to me when I visited Blush Cosmetics the other day with my friend and fellow blogger Kirsty (The Slee) - go check out her blog! I have Korean skin care products, but not a lot of Korean make up. One thing I love about Korean make up is their packaging, it’s always adorable! I also love the fact that you always receive samples after your purchase. Massive disclaimer though, these products are pretty pricey, so if you want to get your hands on some good Korean products, either get them from Korea or online. Anyways, here’s what I bought from Blush Cosmetics!

Skin Care Routine - Dry and sensitive skin

Hello everyone! I’m back, and here to possibly inform you on the importance of skin care! Pampering your skin might be effort to some, but it’s super important to maintain healthy skin. I thought I’d share with you guys my updated skin routine as I believe it’s working really well for my skin. For those who don’t know I have eczema, and one prominent place I have eczema is my face (specifically on my cheeks). Since it’s winter here in Australia, my cheeks had worsen because of the cold temperature and the harsh wind, which really irritated my cheeks. However I have updated my skin care regime and I can see progress! I’ve been on this routine for a few days now and my cheeks are noticeably softer, although it will take more time for the redness to go away. So lets begin!

Food Adventures: Black Star Pastry

I'd heard a lot of great things about Black Star Pastry, especially in regards to their Strawberry Watermelon cake, so when myself and fellow blogger The Slee drove past one day, we decided pop in for some breakfast!
