Watching

Ocean with David Attenborough
You know those shows that instantly make you breathe a little deeper? Ocean is exactly that. David Attenborough dives (literally) into the deep sea and it’s visually stunning — the kind of film that makes you sit up straight and remember the planet is, actually, amazing. Nature nerd or not, this one’s a must.

Listening

Selfdom Podcast
We’ve been fans of Dom since day one. A local Bondi girl using her voice (and mic) to remind us how powerful it is to truly know ourselves. From hormones to healing, identity to intuition — she’s creating real community through stories that land. It’s honest, smart, and always leaves you with something to think about.

Reading

The Wedding People by Alison Espach
A destination wedding, emotional chaos, and a cast of characters pretending everything’s fine (spoiler: it’s not). If you’re into Sally Rooney or Emma Straub energy — this is your next page-turner. Sharp, dry, and just unhinged enough to keep you hooked.

Loving

Weleda Skin Food + Mother of Pearl Drops
The ultimate winter skin hack. Skin Food's been a staple forever, but mixing in a few drops of Mother of Pearl = next-level dewy skin tint. Minimal effort, maximum glow — just how we like it.
