Who else is a huge fan of scarves that cuddle your neck? πβοΈ
My neck tends to get cold easily, so I always reach for ones that snug in close and keep me warm all day βοΈβ¨
I’d love to know what brands or styles do you swear by?
Drop your favourites below π
I’m especially keen to try ones that are soft, cosy, and elegant enough to pair with winter outfits!

Hello to all my new followers! π
I thought it was time I introduced myself properly.
My name is Belinda, I’m 52 and based in Melbourne π¦πΊ
I’m a remedial massage therapist by trade, but at the moment I’m unable to work due to an injury so I’m using this time to focus on healing, wellness and creating content I genuinely love.
I’m also a breast cancer survivor (3 years on π), and both of my parents have sadly passed after battling Parkinson’s. Those life experiences have shaped who I am and why I value self-care, health, and the little joys in life.
If you follow me, you’ll see content around:
β¨ Fragrance
β¨ Beauty + skincare
β¨ Fashion + activewear
β¨ Footwear
β¨ Food & drinks (especially tea + chai!)
β¨ Lifestyle + homewares
β¨ Pets (I have 3 cats πΎπΎπΎ)
Sometimes I’ll also be filming and chatting with my male friend because life is better with laughs and good conversations.
Thanks for being here, I’m so glad you found me π€
Tell me where you’re watching from!

A trip to Yarraville always includes a stop at Frankie Says Relax π€
Such a gorgeous little store with the most beautiful things for self-care and gifting.
Today’s find:
β¨ a cozy scarf (because Melbourne weather π )
β¨ eye warming masks (honestly the best little comfort item)
If you’re in the area, definitely pop in… you’ll leave with something you didn’t know you needed πβοΈπ§£

An old favourite in Yarraville π€βοΈ
Coracle Café never disappoints such a cosy vibe and always delicious.
If you’re local (or visiting), this one is definitely worth a stop for coffee and something yummy πβ¨
Have you been here before?

Today I went to the Young Husband Market, backed by the iconic Rose St Market π
For those of you who have known me for a long time, you might remember I used to make candles and sell them at the Fitzroy location of this market years ago π―οΈβ¨
It honestly felt like such a full circle moment being back in this kind of creative space again and so many talented makers, beautiful handmade pieces, and such a great vibe.
So happy I went… it reminded me how much I love supporting local small businesses ποΈπΏ
Have you been to the Rose St Market before? Or do you have any suggestions of some good markets? I have moved further out west so especially if you have any local ones.

Tried the chai at Footscray Milking Station in Footscray βοΈβ¨
It was really nice smooth, creamy, and not overly strong, so it’s perfect if you don’t like your chai too spicy or intense.
For me personally, I’d love it a little stronger (I like a bold chai!), but overall it was still a great drink and worth trying if you're in the area.
Have you been here? And do you like your chai mild or strong? π€

6 years ago today, Mum lost her battle with Parkinson’s.
And even after all this time, this week never gets easier, especially with her birthday earlier in the week as well.
Grief has a way of coming in waves… and this week is always one of the hardest.
If you’ve ever lost someone, you’ll understand how heavy this feels.
I miss her every single day. π
Sending love to anyone who is grieving, caring, or remembering someone today.

Can we talk about this for a second? π
I have been informes that the Mecca Beauty Exchange is lacking women in their 40s, 50s, 60s+ they aren’t represented.
And the funny thing is… we also are the ones buying the skincare, beauty, fragrance, and investing in products from your store.
We love makeup.
We love self-care.
We love beauty.
So why does it feel like we’re invisible in this spaces? Thanks you for the ladies before me who have brought this to our attention
Mecca, we’re here… and we spend too πΈπβ¨
Who else feels the same? π

Active Elite Activewear review β¨
They’re all about body positivity – I love the material and YES… they have pockets in the leggings which I love π
β¨ Sports Bra – for someone like me with a bigger bust, I’d say it’s perfect for walking + coffee runs βπΆβοΈ
If you have a different body shape, it may work better for gym workouts and higher impact activities.
Overall, I loved all the pieces they feel luxurious, warm and really well made.
