Ellen Newman was kind enough to invite me over to record at her Brisbane home. And I loved it. It was so minimalist and chic. Just like Ellen.
Ellen is the quiet powerhouse behind The Great State - an all over, all natural beauty balm that can be applied anywhere!
Ellen talked me through her beauty purchases, including a Kara Rosenlund fragrance. We talked about supporting small business and the beauty of the beach and the great outdoors.

NYTimes best-selling author Laura Tucker on her YA debut
Head Ovary Heels
09/10/19 • 47 min
Brooklyn-based Laura Tucker has written over 20 books - two of which were New York Times bestsellers - Standing Tall with Vivian Stringer and A Mother’s Reckoning with Sue Klebold.
But in this interview we chat about All The Greys on Greene Street - Laura’s YA fiction debut. The book takes place in New York City in 1981 and our 12-year-old hero Olympia is struggling with a mother who won’t get out of bed, a father who has gone missing and there’s an art mystery afoot.
Laura talks about that particular moment in SoHo history, kids roaming the city and the writer’s life Laura has created for herself.
Find Laura on Instagram and buy her book from your fave indie bookseller.

Vikings Alyssa Sutherland on the role of her lifetime and her life before as a model
Head Ovary Heels
06/10/18 • 43 min
My shield-maiden co-workers were addicted to to the History Channel tv series Vikings. I overheard the intense conversations and peeped their Rollo screensavers and decided to jump into the series over Christmas. To use an old Viking word, I became enthralled.
I loved the character of Aslaug, Ragnor Lothbrok’s second wife, played by Alyssa Sutherland. I loved how much she loved her sons. It felt very modern to me.
I had interviewed Alyssa 17 years earlier for Black+White magazine. I sent an email to her agent and was able to set up a time with her across the Pacific. I loved chatting with Alyssa - she was funny, smart and brazen. “No one should listen to me for beauty advice,” she told me.
Alyssa is great on Instagram and you should follow her! She has two accounts @therealalyssas and @thelightaroundme. Follow them both!

Sigourney Cantelo is the creator of our favourite online beauty destination Beauticate
Head Ovary Heels
06/10/18 • 44 min
I first met Sigourney over email when I would write beauty stories for her at Vogue Australia. I’ve always admired Sigourney as an editor and writer (she has a lovely turn of phrase).
Four years ago, Sigourney left Vogue to work full-time on her website Beauticate. In this episode she talks about her evolution as a businesswoman, mother and a woman who doesn’t necessarily juggle life: “I just drop things.” Yep, she’s the real deal.
You can find Sigourney on Instagram and Twitter @SigourneyCantelo. And check out Beauticate on Instagram and Facebook @Beauticate.

Dina Broadhurst talks beauty, art and the trick of a high heel
Head Ovary Heels
06/10/18 • 23 min
Sydney artist Dina Broadhurst is one of my absolute favourites on Instagram. Her work is bold, sexy and exciting. It was such a pleasure to speak with her about her art, life and beauty routines: such as curled eyelashes, light foundation from MAC and a lip balm from Elizabeth Arden. Oh, and she wears a high heel for going out at night.
Sydney-based Broadhurst trained as a makeup artist, worked in magazines and advertising and now makes a living as an artist with her large-scale photography and collage works. It was all leading to this point!

Head Ovary Heels
06/10/18 • 37 min
In 2018, Jumana Hammouda and her sister Lama Perin launched Bodibar - a vegan body scrub made from all natural Australian ingredients. Jumana talks about the joys and challenges of creating a beauty product from scratch.
But before launching Bodibar, Jumana lived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and ran a luxury day spa. Of course, I was fascinated to find out about running a business in Saudi Arabia, what do Saudi women want and what is life really like in Saudi Arabia? Jumana tells all.
