Hello lovelies, I’m Maryam! A minimalist, intersectional feminist and creatively driven teen from sunny Sydney. I’m a lifestyle, wellness, travel and fashion blogger currently undertaking undergraduate studies at Billy Blue College to get my Diploma of Interior Design and Decoration. I’m a self proclaimed iced coffee fanatic and avid fan of indie music, chai lattes, rocky road, cherry blossoms and bohemian styling. On and off, I pursue work in the social media field as an influencer, partnering with clean beauty, jewellery, home decor brands and the like to bring you my top picks.

Zucchini, Halloumi and Asparagus Slice Recipe
It’s certainly true that nourishing my body looks different in this season. I’ve come to eat more intuitively and banish good and bad vocabulary when it comes to fuelling myself. Our bodies are these amazing complex machines that run in such a spiffy and seamless manner majority of the time. Why not honour that and refuse to label food as occasional or indulgent? As a younger teen I would micro manage my eating habits. I suffered from an eating disorder, Anorexia Nervosa. I can honestly say that freedom from restrictive eating is the best I’ve experienced- I feel so privileged to be able to enjoy meals once again and see them for what they are.
My Natural Skincare Routine for a Bright, Restored Complexion- Featuring Alya Skin and Real-U
The rituals and habits we build around our daily lives are what keep us centred and grounded. They ensure we prioritise focus and incorporate moments of tender loving care into what can become a busy and bustling day with no reprieve. When you keep your body’s largest organ, your skin, happy and healthy, the return will be more than worth it. If you’re looking to rearrange or improve your current skincare routine or build it from the top, the vast number of products, techniques and ingredients out there can feel dizzying. If you feel yourself becoming overwhelmed already, look no further. Curating a cost effective routine that caters to your needs is more than achievable. That blushed beauty look that us women so yearn for is within reach and realistic. A well balanced complexion has less to do with how blessed you are by the genetic gods and more to do with consistent application and a thorough, well researched selection of products that are tried, tested and founded in beauty and wellness science. Ultimately, how you care for your skin is a personal matter- however, it’s necessary for you to sort through the noise to find your holy grail. Here’s what to keep in mind as you begin.

Rural Victoria Travel Diary: Princetown, Scotts Creek, Apollo Bay, Port Campbell and more!
Ah, rural Australia. What a treat! My week long trip sure reinforced that I’m a city girl at heart. That’s not to say that being out in the sticks didn’t teach me a thing or two though. During my first trimester of holidays from college I spent some time in Victoria with family. My grandma, mum, brother and I went to see my cousin Aaron and his fiancee Rachel. They recently bought a place in Princetown, a coastal village located on the Great Ocean Road and east of the Twelve Apostles. It’s about fifteen minutes from Port Campbell where the pair used to rent a house together. They were roommates at the time and worked at a local restaurant, Waves.

I’ve learnt valuable skills in taking my ideas from the drawing board and bringing them to fruition. I’ve challenged myself on a consistent basis to be a part of the action and get really hands on with the process.
