The Bondi ‘It’ girl shares her love of the ocean and everything beauty
You seem to live a very relaxed life, living close to the beach. Have you always loved living by the ocean?
I have been extremely lucky to have lived my entire life by the sea. My mum used to tell the story that the day after I was born she packed me into her car and drove me to Byron Bay to be near the water. Then we lived by the beach at Terrigal and always holidayed in Byron, and I’ve been at the beach in Bondi for over 10 years. Tell us about your everyday style and beauty aesthetic?
I have to say denim is in my DNA and if I’m not in denim shorts then I’ll be wearing a denim jacket or shirt. My style aesthetic has that true laid-back Aussie vibe. My beauty look is the same – I love a beach-wave in my hair, golden sun-kissed skin and a flushed cheek.
Can we expect to see more products from Elle Effect?
Yes! I cannot wait to share the exciting news coming up!
What’s your favourite beauty treatment?
I am obsessed with the lymphatic drainage massage from Venustus [in Paddington, Sydney]. It’s the best treatment I’m doing for my body right now and I’m booked in weekly as my special treat.
Have you and your fiancé, former AFL player Joel Patfull, started planning your wedding? Yes, we have started planning and we are both so excited.
What’s your go-to date-night look?
Fresh EE tan, beach waves and lots of lashes!
What’s your favourite workout? It’s a tie between Pilates at [Waterloo in Sydney’s] FluidForm or JPPT, which my partner, Joel, runs
Your favourite way to unwind? Binge-watching something in my PJs or shopping – two extremes! Can you describe yourself in five words or fewer? Kind. What defines beauty to you? Beauty comes from within so a kind heart makes the most beautiful person.
