My Blog

From the day I first popped into the lounge, Lauren (the owner) and I instantly clicked, and she's been a very good friend ever since! I also work the occasional shifts in the lounge, normally to assist with any events or late bookings. What I personally love about URL is compared to the bigger, mainstream places, it has an intimate, almost home-like feel. What I mean is, how many people can say after a sauna/ice bath that they can then stick around, grab a complimentary hot

I'm sure every woman has at least one bad hair experience under their belt, or at least, one insanely overpriced experience at some stage. For me, I've absolutely had my fair share, so it's fair to say when I came to Perth I had serious trust issues... it takes a lot to find a good hairdresser. I did a lot of meticulous research one morning a couple of years back, and I landed on Salt + Soul. The salon itself has a very beachy, chic vibe. It's very soft and feminine. I'll sho

This weeks' WOTW is Rebecca Smith, founder of The Bare Studio in Subiaco, who specialises in Korean lash lifts and all things brows! Some recent work- Hybrid Korean Lash Lift x Bare Brow defined collab For anyone who fancies a peak at her other work, you can check out the instagram page @the_barestudio Now let's get to know Rebecca more! Who is the dog-loving lady sitting behind The Bare Studio? Let's find out... Why did you start your business? I started a business because I

I really feel like this blog post was meant to be, considering Sea Beauty in Mullaloo is hosting our next WAGSS event!! This beautiful hidden gem of a salon is extremely deceptive from the outside. Don't be fooled by the visibly small entrance, because once you step inside it's like a tardis! Fun fact, they also own 'Body Contouring', a seperate business that lives within the salon. There is a lot that goes on in this amazing space, so let's dive in... What services does the

This week we are looking at somebody who is extremely well connected- whether you are wanting to book a holiday outside of Australia, or stay the night at a Perth hotel (only the best of course) - Emma is here to help! I try not to look at this picture for too long, as I get insanely jealous! So, on that note, let's dive straight into the questions, so you can all get to know her better... When did you start your business? 29th Feb 2020 – 2 weeks before the world closed down.

Girlies I am so happy to be showcasing this beautiful business this week, because I actually met the founder Nicole organically through her OTHER business (fun fact)- Coleys Lashes. Indeed, Nicole is an absolute brow (and lash) queen- so safe to say I already had full faith in this women even before I tried one of her yoga/ sound healing classes- which are beautiful! Nicole is a registered yoga teacher from Dublin, Ireland who completed her teacher training in Bali. In this t

I'm so excited to kick off this weekly series where every Monday I spin the wheel (results will be posted in my instagram stories) and spotlight one of the businesses from the WAGSS directory! Throughout the week they will feature in stories and their own blog post like this one! Firstly, as a very brief overview- Matcha Michi is of course a Matcha business, founded by Yi Jia, and the business directly orders all of their stock from Japan. It is a very high quality product, s

Girlssss, where do I begin! Starting a social media page (Instagram for example) from scratch is HARD. I was almost cringing at myself sending an empty profile to my friends asking them for a supportive follow- but everyone has to start somewhere! Then, it's figuring out the content- what days and times work best, what kind of posts will people want to see and engage with... the list goes on. I would say I'm still finding my feet here. I decide on a weekly basis what I post a

Because it’s always nice to have some recommendations, right? I used to think Perth was boring (yes, I was THAT girl), because of pre-conceptions and simply not knowing where to go. The social scene doesn’t exactly slap you in the face compared to Melbourne and Sydney. So, in no particular order, here are 3 fun things I’ve done in Perth recently… 1. Padel Crush, Wembley I had to jump on the latest craze- and it is well worth the hype. Padel Crush in Wembley have all outdoor c

I thought I would highlight my favourite spots north of the river where I go to unwind and grab my morning coffee! Please don’t take this as gospel, as I know everyone’s experiences and taste buds are different. However, if you’re new to Perth and looking for somewhere to start your day, look no further. In no particular order, I grant you my best suggestions… you’re welcome! 1. Swell, Mullaloo (fun fact- this was my first job in WA). Think aesthetic, brunch vibes. If you’re

I thought it would be relevant to introduce myself properly for my first blog post. Hello! My name is Olivia and I moved to Perth in April 2024 when I was 27 years old. My background is English Language (BA) and Journalism (MA). Moving to Australia was always my dream. I solo travelled in 2020 and completely fell in love with the place (as most people do)! I must admit, given people from the UK no longer need to do farmwork to get the working holiday visas… I thought finding
