Over the past few days, as Septembers goes on, I have definitely noticed a change in the air. The nights are drawing in and are getting cooler (the cold air is starting to catch the back of my throat).

Something a little different today. With Covid chaos impacting on new university students, I wanted to share some tips/pieces of advice that I learnt during my time as an undergraduate.

Upcircle – a fresh approach to skincare and repurposed ingredients.
