With the long weekend coming up I know a few of us may imbibe ourselves in a tipple or 7. For me though, the day after drinking is the absolute worst. I feel like my brain is going to explode and my heart will explode and my body will explode. I cannot count how many times I’ve googled ‘Can you die from a hangover?’ Since this has been happening (around the last 10 or so years, I’ve picked up a couple of tricks, from friends, and the internet that I thought I would share.

Right now small business in Australia is suffering.

While we all love a bargain, Shein, Amazon, Ali Baba and companies similar are some of the biggest contributors to climate change via waste. They are also famous for not paying their workers a living a wage. 

BUYING AUSTRALIAN MADE AND OWNED IS IMPORTANT

You will keep money in the local economy circulating.

Summer is over and the drop in temperature has been pretty drastic over the last week. While I enjoy the cooler temps, my skin does not. My entire body becomes extremely dry and flaky (my face as well) That's why I use body oil on a daily basis to help my skin retain hydration and keep it plump and glowing. While I was over here meticulously slathering it on every night after showering, I’ve done some reading lately and instead, it appears that you should apply your body oil before jumping in the bath or showering.

 

It’s pretty easy to figure out if you have dry or oil skin. But what about ‘combination’ skin? What even is that!? And ‘normal’ skin types; what classifies as ‘normal’!? And my partner thinks I can be a little bit ‘sensitive’ sometimes, but does that carry over to my skin type? Let us simplify it all for you with our breakdown of the 5 main skin types so that you can figure out which type you are so you can then make more informed decisions with your skincare purchases.

So Josh (King of Scrubba Body) and I (Hayley) have a podcast. It's called Got a Queery? and each episode we talk to queer entrepreneurs about life, how they got to where they're at and everything in between. Oh and did I mention we're drinking cocktails the whole time?

RECYCLE – PROPERLY! We all have recycling bins at our houses, the thing is that most of us aren’t using them properly. Firstly, NEVER put a plastic bag in your recycling bin. It pretty much renders everything else you’ve sorted redundant. Secondly, make sure you take the caps and rings off plastic bottles (and always cut the rings so they don’t get stuck on some poor unassuming animal). The plastic used for bottle caps is not recyclable, so make sure you put them in the rubbish.
