A MOMENT WITH OLIVIA - JULY FAVOURITES
Go behind the scenes with Olivia, our Founder as she shares her favourite beauty, wellness and mindful moments.

Watching:
Sliding Doors
I have a deep love for a nostalgic movie, and this week I rewatched Sliding Doors whilst making my favourite Porcini bone broth risotto. The ultimate combination to relax, unwind and provide true self comfort at home.
Beauty Product:
Doctors Scrub by Goldfaden MD
New York City is currently feeling like the first 10 minutes of your infrared sauna - that warm, thick air, with the heat starting to slowly but surely blare through your pores. This has made me return to my old faithful Doctors Scrub by Goldfaden MD. To me, this product is microdermabrasion in a jar. I use it gently 1-2 times per week to buff away dead skin cells and break down any sebum or SPF build up to enable my active topicals to penetrate deeper.
Fitness:
I've leaned back into cycle syncing lately (syncing workout methods with phase of the menstrual cycle), which has felt really incredible for my body and allowed me to lean into more intuitive movements. I'm really prioritising strength training, pilates and long walks, with restorative yoga classes during the week of my period.
Listening:
Inner Smile - Texas
This song always brings me back into my body - I will often pop on and run a bath after an intense day of meetings.
Quote:
"You either live at the edge of your curiosity, or from the backseat of your doubt. Neither are perfectly comfortable, but one is far more worthwhile"
I resonate so deeply with this. I'm actively trying to push myself outside of my comfort zone in my personal and professional life at the moment, which I toggle between wanting to deep dive, but also act with caution. This quote is my daily reminder to take calculated risks. Because if you never try, you'll never know.
