If I said the sentence “Celebrated in My Own Skin,” what does it mean to you?
To me, it’s about unapologetically embracing every detail that makes me, me… the scars, the freckles, the curves. Owning my story with grace. It’s about honouring my uniqueness and radiating authenticity from the inside out.
How does someone show up like that?
They show up with authenticity, a dash of vulnerability, and a generous dose of self-love. It’s about rewriting the narrative that beauty is one-size-fits-all and stepping into your own light, unapologetically.
Have you celebrated your own skin story?
Absolutely. Every wrinkle is proof of laughter, resilience, and personal growth. I wear them like medals, reminding myself that every chapter has made me beautifully whole.
As a creative professional balancing various roles and a mum, what are your three top habits to maintain a consistent skincare routine that fits into your busy schedule?
I carve out me-time, even if it’s just five minutes, to connect with my skin. I choose multi-tasking products that deliver both hydration and glow, making sure my routine is both effective and efficient.
Is there something about you, it could be physical or non-physical, that you have struggled with over your lifetime? What advice would you give to people to overcome this?
Like many, I’ve wrestled with self-doubt and the quest for perfection. My advice? Celebrate your flaws, they are your signature. Embrace imperfection; it’s what makes you distinctly beautiful and human.
Self-care is a recurring theme in your content, as you merge beauty, wellness, and fashion. How does skincare play a role in your broader skin health practices? How has skincare and self-care rituals shaped your story?
Skincare is my grounding ritual; an act of self-respect, a moment of mindfulness amidst chaos. It’s a way to nurture my confidence, amplify my beauty, and honour the journey of self-love that’s shaped my story.
With the festive season approaching, what are your top skincare tips to ensure you look and feel your best during celebrations, especially when you are running from day to night?
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, inside and out. Keep a trusty mist handy to refresh your glow and don’t forget SPF. Your best friend, even in winter, especially during those long holiday days.
How do you ensure your skin stays protected from the Australian sun, especially during summer? Who influenced your approach?
Protection is key. I religiously apply SPF and wear hats and sunglasses. My mum, a quintessential Aussie, ingrained that habit in me early. She’s my sun-smart hero.
As someone who blends fashion, wellness, and skincare, how do you incorporate these into celebrating your own skin story?
It’s about harmony. When I feel good in what I wear and how I care for myself, my skin radiates that confidence. A story of balance.
What’s your mantra you fall back on to really feel confident in your own skin?
I often tell myself, "Soft heart. Strong spine". Be confident, but still wear your heart on your sleeve and a good reminder that confidence isn’t loud, it’s quiet self-trust. The kind that doesn’t need to prove a thing!
What’s the one thing you would do right now if you had the courage to really feel celebrated in your own skin?
Share more. Vulnerability is the ultimate act of self-love.
