Herbosophy — My New Favourite Herb Supplier

Miriam Walsh Leave a Comment

  I’ve been taking natural herbal supplements for as long as I can remember. However, they can be expensive and it is often time consuming to find organic and unrefined products. I recently discovered an online herb supplier, Herbosophy. A family run business in Perth, Western Australia, Herbosophy offers a range of quality herbs that are encapsulated on order. This means you are receiving the most fresh and pure herbs that are filler and preservative free. Their range is diverse, with herbs I’ve never heard of before on offer. Whilst I recommend consulting a healthcare professional before commencing a new… Continue Reading →

Easy Tips to Stop Biting Your Nails

Miriam Walsh Leave a Comment

  I’ve been a chronic nail-biter my entire life. I’ve gone through good phases where I’d hardly bite my nails, and I’ve also gone through bad stages where I’d chew my nails and cuticles until they bled. For someone who is usually a bit of a control and neat freak in other aspects of her life, I’ve never understood why nail biting is the one bad habit that I’ve never been able to fully kick. Whilst I don’t think I’ll ever totally kick the habit (or at least not any time soon), these simple strategies have helped me manage my… Continue Reading →

Three Quick Ideas For Your Temporary Living Space

Bicky Lee Leave a Comment

  Over the course of my flatting/not living at home chapter of my life I have lived in nine different living spaces (eg. share houses, apartments) over the course of six and a half years. Sometimes these spaces were more permanent, maybe I was there for a year or two, but some of these were more temporary, I was only there a couple of months. I have also travelled for work and been in a place that isn’t home for a month or two just living out of a suitcase. Also, given that my generation seems to be “shut out… Continue Reading →

Paper Folding at Eden with Benja Harney

Jesse Petrie Leave a Comment

  For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an origami enthusiast. I’ve always found the repetition, and the concentration it requires stills my mind like nothing else; when I’m working with paper, I am at peace. So when my editor informed me that Eden, a series of holistic wellness workshops hosted by the Canberra Centre, was putting on a paper-craft master-class, and that I was to report on said class, I was, to say the very least, rather pleased. The event was to be run by Benja Harney, a ‘paper engineer’ based in Sydney, who has been in… Continue Reading →

Free Time is the Enemy of Progress

  Casey Neistat is pretty damn cool (in my opinion anyway). If you don’t know his work or who he is, check out his YouTube channel. Casey, best known for his daily vlogs, has worked with companies such as Nike, J.Crew and Mercedes Benz on major advertising campaigns. He’s a filmmaker, producer and entrepreneur living in New York City with some a-list friends including Karlie Kloss, Jack and Finn Harries, and a bunch of other talented creatives. Casey made a bold statement in one of his videos that got me thinking.   ‘Free time is the enemy of progress.’  … Continue Reading →
