Incorporating a hair mask into your beauty regimen is essential for maintaining optimal hair health and vitality. Designed to deliver deep nourishment beyond what a regular conditioner offers, hair masks are perfect for addressing concerns like dryness, breakage, frizz, or damage from heat styling and colour treatments. Ideally applied to damp, freshly shampooed hair, masks allow potent ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft, restoring moisture and strength.

Earlier this year, English actress and singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse launched the first instalment of her YouTube web series documenting her preparations for Paris Fashion Week.

Post-shower, Waterhouse orders a ream of items off the room service menu and proceeds to shave her legs on her bed.

Come mid-afternoon, more often than not, I am in desperate need of a pick-me-up. I reach for Two Islands plant-based Salted Caramel protein because it’s super gentle on my stomach and ties over those hunger pangs until tea time when I’d ordinarily be ravaging the fridge.

I hadn’t been to Noosa, let alone Brisbane, since I was thirteen years old. I returned home after one school term feeling not so hot (which I later learned would be the early stages of dengue fever) with a few new freckles, an affinity for cold rock ice cream, and a ream of transactions from Sirianni’s – the fine foods grocer in walking distance of the boarding school I attended on exchange.
