Tarban Creek Asylum Sydney: Exploring Sydney Haunted Past
Now known as the Gladesville Mental Hospital, when you stroll though the grounds of the old Tarban Creek Asylum, you can’t help but feel sad for the lost souls here. Since the very first colony of British and Irish people to Australia, to settle and build new cities of hope and development, anyone considered mentally challenged, disabled or impaired due to any other health condition, were often out aside and gathered together, sent off to asylums for someone else to deal with. Often forgotten, as families did not know how to manage them, care for them or even be able to afford the costs of looking after them, misinformation and…

The Crystal Infused Beauty Products I’m Using
I’m officially obsessed with crystal infused beauty products. From facial cleansers to moisturisers, these are the products I’m using right now.

Since being in isolation, I found myself obsessing over collagen-based beauty products to help with my overall health. Now that we are living our best lives in post-iso I wanted to write about one specific (and super cheap) collagen powder which I have been totally obsessing over. Whether it was because I found myself binging on the wrong foods a little too much whilst being stuck at home for longer hours, or if it was wanting too find a way to maintain optimum health whilst being stuck at home more during isolation, collagen powders were never on my radar until COVID-19 happened.

Finding Peace Away from the City at Cordeaux Dam
I’ve lived in Sydney my whole life, and I had no idea we had so many dams surrounding our amazing city, like the historic Cordeux Dam. Located around an hour and a half south of Sydney, somewhere in the middle of Campbeltown and Wollongong is one of Sydney’s most historical locations called Cordeaux Dam. It’s heritage listed and provides water to the Macarthur and Illawarra regions south. Construction of the dam began in 1918 and was completed in 1926 at a cost of 945K pounds, with walls consisting of large sandstone blocks, which were quarried onsite and cemented together and hold approx. 93,640 ML of water in the reservoir. It’s…
