It’s no secret shopping has evolved over the years. While we grew up watching infomercials on 6-in-1 products (Thin Lizzy, we’re looking at you) to cult home buys, we now look to social media platforms to influence our shopping choices.

TikTok in particular has cemented itself as the shopping hub, especially among Gen Z, with everything from viral hair tools to niche beauty products becoming trends and therefore, absolute must-haves. Most even make it to Amazon’s best-sellers, with thousands of reviews behind them.

I for one am not immune to the allure of TikTok and the trends that come with it. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I love to shop. But I especially love shopping when the recommendation comes from someone who shares the same pain points.

From skincare products that hydrate my skin to haircare items that have revived my strands like no other, I’ve tried several products over the years that I absolutely have no regrets about buying, and I’m highlighting them below. 

And the best part? They’re all available on Amazon, so you can add everything in one cart for seamless shopping. You’re welcome.

Become an Amazon Prime member and add all your items to cart to save big during Prime Day. The sale runs from July 16 to 21, so sign up now here to shop during the 30-day trial period, or read our explainer here.

Hot tip:

The best Amazon finds and must-haves in Australia

amazon-must-haves-hair-oil

01

Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil

$18.79 at Amazon

Why we love it: Helps hair grow in no time

One of the very first products TikTok influenced me to buy was this hair oil. And sure enough, years later, it’s still one of the most important steps in my haircare routine. My hair has grown inches from simply using a few drops and massaging into my scalp once a week.

It also has me waking up to silky smooth locks the next day (after a wash), and with peace of mind that I’m doing what I can to help my hair grow.

Our rating: 9/10

Key features:

  • Infused with Biotin
  • Features more than 30 essential oils and extracts
  • Rosemary scent
k18-leave-in-hair-mask

02

K18 Hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask

$59.99 (usually $99.50) at Amazon

Why we love it: Helps repair colour-damaged hair

Another haircare product I swear by is the K18 leave-in hair mask – recommended to me by my hairdresser after she took one look at my dyed and damaged locks and knew we had to act.

The mask activates within minutes after applying to damp hair and soaks up immediately for a lightweight feel. My hair already feels much healthier after using it for a few months.

Our rating: 8/10

Key features:

  • Works on the molecular level to reverse hair damage in just 4 minutes
  • Helps restore strength, softness, smoothness and bounce to hair
cosrx-snail-mucin

03

COSRX Snail Mucin

$12.99 (usually $16.99) at Amazon

Why we love it: Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth

When I first heard of Snail Mucin as skincare, I was sceptical. However, after seeing all the reviews and hearing people rave about it, I knew I had to give it a chance. And I’m so glad I did.

It’s ultra-hydrating (perfect for winter!) and absorbs right into the skin so you can go ahead with the next step in your skincare routine without feeling too heavy.

Our rating: 7/10

Key features:

  • Helps damaged skin
  • Helps improve skin elasticity
  • Maintains hydration level all day long
amazon-must-haves-sunscreen

04

La Roche-Posay Sunscreen Lotion

As someone who is a little guilty of skipping sunscreen in my daily routine, I knew I had to find the right one to make it stick. Sure enough, this lightweight formula makes it easy to remember and apply every single day.

Unlike other sunscreens, it doesn’t leave your skin looking shiny afterwards or leave behind a white cast. La Roche-Posay, I dare say, is worth the hype.

Our rating: 7/10

Key features:

  • SPF 50+
  • Ultra-light invisible and non-shiny finish
  • Suitable for sensitive skin
amazon-must-haves-mascara

05

Maybelline New York Mascara

from $11.95 (usually $25.99) at Amazon

Why we love it: Leaves lashes fluffy and full of volume

Finding a mascara that gives you volume without the clumps is hard. But, after going through an entire tube of this one I can honestly say I’ve never had an issue. It adds instant volume to my lashes and leaves them looking fluffy all day long.

Plus, it’s easy to build and layer up without them looking crazy afterwards. Perfect if you’re someone who gets a little carried away (like me).

Our rating: 8/10

Key features:

  • Waterproof
  • Infused with bamboo extract and fibres
  • Flake-free

06

Caudalie Beauty Elixir Face Mist

from $70 at Amazon

Why we love it: Tightens pores and sets makeup

A recent addition to my beauty routine, I can hardly remember a time before this magical toning mist ever existed.

A true all-in-one product, it tightens pores, sets makeup, and provides an instant boost of radiance – basically everything you need and more in one bottle.

Our rating: 8/10

Key features:

  • Brightens and visibly smooths skin
  • Minimises pores and sets makeup

A favourite among celebrities, influencers and stylists, the Dyson Airwrap has reached cult status for a reason.

Loved for its ability to deliver bouncy, beautiful curls every time, and for being incredibly versatile with a range of attachments, the hair tool is constantly sought out by the masses.

But it does come with a hefty price tag. Retailing at an eyewatering $849, not everyone can afford the splurge for a beauty tool, which is why we look to sales.

Year-round discounts tend to occur during special occasions, including Mother’s Day, Christmas, and Afterpay Day, among others.

Is the Dyson Airwrap worth investing in?

While the Airwrap’s price tag is steep, Dyson backs it with several features to make it worthwhile.

The Airwrap also offers multiple styling possibilities including a hair dryer function, a smoothing brush for straight styles, a round brush for volume and curling barrels for all your needs.

If there is one item everyone needs in their arsenal, it is a good smelling perfume.

Whoever came up with the idea that one person needs one signature scent lied. With so many incredible scents, it’s hard to choose what is the right fit for you – so why not have plenty of options?

One perfume for the day, one for the night, one for brunch or one for a dinner date… you see where we are going with this. The sky is truly the limit when it comes to perfume usages.

If you are a Prime member the annual Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner for 2024, and it is the perfect time to snatch up some incredible perfume deals. Luckily for you, we’ve got our eye on some perfumes that might have you clicking ‘purchase’ too.

Unfortunately, the expert team at Amazon have remained tight-lipped on what deals and sales members can expect for Amazon Prime Day 2024, which goes live for a full six days from July 16 to July 21.

Perfume prices aren’t the only items being dashed with electronics, home and kitchen ware, toys, devices and video games all going on sale. While we love a bargain, we are keeping our eye on the prize this year.

I’ve been an Amazon member for over a decade. Here are the celeb-approved items I’m shopping this Prime Day https://www.nowtolove.com.au/lifestyle/shopping/prime-day-veteran/ Thu, 11 Jul 2024 03:16:04 +0000 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/?p=519513 So many bargains!

The post I’ve been an Amazon member for over a decade. Here are the celeb-approved items I’m shopping this Prime Day appeared first on Now To Love.

Prime Day is back for 2024, with hundreds of thousands of products set to be discounted. While that can seem overwhelming, at least you have more time than ever to bargain hunt. 

Unlike past years, Prime Day is on for six days! From 16 July to 21 July, Prime Members can ‘add to cart’ like nobody’s business. The retailer is slashing prices on items from electronics to home and kitchen wares, Amazon devices, everyday essentials, beauty, video games, toys, shoes and more. 

It’s basically Christmas in July!

With two kids (one with a July birthday), Father’s Day coming up, a full-time job and a home that could use a refresh, this is what I’m planning to save on during the annual shopping event as a 15-year Prime veteran.

TOYS AND CRAFT KITS

Amazon is my go-to for kids’ birthday presents, family activities and arts-and-crafts kits to keep my budding artist busy for hours – and away from a screen.

This Prime Day, Amazon is offering savings across craft supplies, kits and art accessories. Certain toys like LEGO are discounted as well. This means it’s the perfect time to stock up on birthday presents for all the parties my kiddos are sure to be invited to for the rest of the year.

And my Amazon wish came true – Squishmallows are on sale for Prime Day! I’m getting this adorable four pack.

ELECTRONICS

Anne Hathaway’s expression is much like my own son’s when he sees me. Absolutely thrilled!

I have a teenage son, so it’s less about the toys and more about the electronics these days. According to Amazon, top brand names like Apple, Bose and Philips will be featured in the sales. 

While he’d no doubt love a new smart TV (this one from Sony is so amazing, I think it’s the perfect replacement for our living room), Apple Airpods, $150, or Bose headphones, he won’t get all three. However, these Prime Day deals make it tempting to grab them all!

Also, did you see the Fire TV Stick 4K Max? It’s 50% off right now, making it only $59. And to sweeten the deal, you also score a bonus 1-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with purchase. Time to get Christmas ready!

FATHER’S DAY

David Beckham’s new cooking toy is on Amazon Prime. (Image: Instagram)

Father’s Day isn’t until September, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get a head start on getting something for the rockstar men in our lives. 

I, for one, will be grabbing a Kindle Paperwhite, $214, for my darling husband. He’s really gotten into reading a lot of leadership books to level up in his career, and it seems like the perfect gift of support.

Also, when you sign up for a Prime membership between 24 June to 21 July, Amazon is giving you three months of Kindle Unlimited for free. After that, it’s just $13.99/month, and you can cancel anytime.

Oh and he’s also a fan of the new all-in-one Ninja Woodfire Pro grill David Beckham shared on his Instagram stories. While not an official Prime Day deal, Prime members can save $10 when spending $150 with Zip, using code ZIPPRIMEDAY at checkout.

KITCHEN HELPERS

Even celebrity chefs love the convenience of a good air fryer. (Image: X)

My kitchen has been neglected a bit too long. And trying to get dinner on the table for a family of four after working in the office all day is not an easy feat. 

So to streamline the process, I’m grabbing this Philip’s air fryer that not only seems to be celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay approved, but it also promises to make simple work of dinner. 

I’ll also be adding fresh kitchen towels (can never have too many!) and a pretty new cookware set that’ll make me want to actually cook dinner (I hope!). This non-stick ceramic set is beautiful.

EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS

Be like Beyoncé and get a Dyson Airwrap as your ‘everyday essential’ – I mean, it is on sale after all! (Image: Instagram)

From coffee pods to bubbly kombucha drinks, I regularly turn to Amazon to deliver the items I need straight to my door. 

With Prime Day, several of these items have been heavily discounted, making it easier to save. And in this economy, who isn’t pinching pennies?

Also, toilet bowl cleaners aren’t glamorous, but they are a necessity. So, I’ll be popping some of that goodness in my cart along with more shower, glass and surface cleaners. And I’m in dire need of a new Dyson vacuum. This one is nearly 50 per cent off – so adding to cart!

Literally, Amazon has pretty much everything. I regularly buy hand soap and body wash from the retailer as well.

And for a little “treat”, I’m adding this Dyson Airwrap to cart!

GET READY FOR PRIME DAY

To score big on Prime Day, consider following these 3 shopping tips:

  • Become an Amazon Prime member: New customers in Australia are eligible for a free Prime membership trial. Click here to find out more.
  • Download the Amazon app: The app not only makes ordering a breeze, it can also alert you when your saved items go on sale.
  • Create an Amazon wish list: Creating a wish list is a great way to map out what you need. There’s even a feature to turn on deal notifications, which alert you when a product on your wish list goes on special.

Happy shopping!

Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson reveals her ‘secret recipe’ for wrinkle-free skin at 64 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/beauty/nigella-lawson-antiaging-skincare/ Thu, 11 Jul 2024 00:09:43 +0000 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/?p=519401 No, it's not botox!

The post Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson reveals her ‘secret recipe’ for wrinkle-free skin at 64 appeared first on Now To Love.

]]>
At 64, Nigella Lawson‘s glowing, wrinkle-free skin has everyone asking for her secret. Literally. 

After relentless begging on social media, the star chef and cookbook author has finally served up the one recipe her fans have been dying for: the fountain of youth.

And it’s surprisingly simple and even cost-effective. Nigella swears by a nightly regimen that involves just four ingredients: a muslin cloth, a concentrated exfoliating cleanser, a facial oil and a bit of climate control.

The celebrity chef tweeted: “My immutable night time regime: @VH_Beauty Prickly Pear Seed Oil, massaged in after washing my face with a muslin and TempleSpa’s In the Beginning cleanser.

“And no central heating in the bedroom!”

Easy peasy, right? Click your way to wrinkle-free skin a la Nigella’s 3-step night-time routine below.

NIGELLA LAWSON’S 3-STEP SKINCARE ROUTINE

01

CLEANSE WITH CARE

Nigella’s skincare ritual begins with cleansing her face every night using a muslin cloth and an indulgent balm cleanser. Not only does the cleanser remove makeup and impurities, but it also provides a gentle exfoliation thanks to the muslin cloth. 

Our pick? The cult-favourite Eve Lom cleanser, $158.99, loved by celebrities like Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Eva Mendez to name a few. Its rich texture and nourishing ingredients leave skin feeling soft and rejuvenated.

02

NOURISH WITH PRICKLY PEAR SEED OIL

After cleansing, Nigella massages her face with prickly pear seed oil. The chef has been known to call this her “face-saving magic”.

This luxurious oil is packed with vitamins E and K, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that hydrate and repair the skin. It’s known for its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin elasticity, making it a perfect addition to an anti-aging routine.

“Put it on at night and you’ll wake up looking as if you’ve been to a spa by the sea, slept 10 hours a night and been off Twitter for a month,” Nigella Lawson wrote in the Sunday Times.

03

KEEP IT COLD

The final step in Nigella’s skincare regimen is a bit unconventional but highly effective: she avoids using central heating in her bedroom. 

Central heating can dry out the air, which in turn dries out your skin. By keeping her bedroom cool and humidity balanced, Nigella ensures her skin retains its natural moisture, preventing dryness and promoting a more youthful appearance.

Many celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz swear by adding a humidifier to their beauty routines. Running a humidifier pulls moisture back into the air to improve dry, itchy skin and help it retain essential hydration. We love this one from Philips, $139 for a sleek, effective option.

BEAUTY TIPS FOR AGING

Despite her enviable complexion, even Nigella has admitted that the “beauty problem” of getting older has been tough for her. “I’m trying to go with it,” she opened up in an interview with Oprah. 

“I think what ages a face most is disappointment and a lack of enjoyment. So I try to do what I love.”

Now that’s some beauty advice we can get behind!

    If you want to splurge out and make a cosy investment, look to quality materials like cotton or wool for ultimate warmth year-round.

    However, if you’re looking to save cash but don’t want to skimp on quality, cotton blends and fleeces are a great bet for comfy tracksuits.

    Also, take into consideration when and where you’re planning to wear these. If they’re strictly for the home you can go for something more formless, but if you’re aiming to nail the athleisure look then you can shop something a bit more ‘fashion-forward’.

    If you’re on the hunt for a new form of exercise that gets you in shape, is enjoyable, and challenges your body but isn’t too high an impact on joints and muscles – then Pilates is the answer!

    Pilates has absolutely taken the world, and particularly Australia, by storm. It’s a favourite of celebrities, models and athletes alike and now it has never been easier to try for yourself.

    “Pilates is not the new kid on the block, but has definitely surged in popularity the last few years,” says Brianna Law, product manager for Rebalance Pilates & Yoga.

    “Since the global pandemic, many people have been searching for at-home workouts that don’t necessarily require equipment, and Pilates is a solution, offering a versatile workout that can be taken anywhere.”

    In fact, Pilates has been around since the early 1920s, introduced by German trainer Joseph Pilates, and was created by combining aspects of Yoga, martial arts, gymnastics, and dance.

    But if you want to try your hand at Pilates, you may want to invest in a pair of special grip socks to prevent slipping and injuries.

    “When purchasing grip socks, find a pair that fits well. If they are too tight they can be uncomfortable, but too loose and they won’t provide appropriate traction. I’d also recommend materials such as cotton or bamboo which are moisture-wicking and breathable.

    “Aside from that, find a pair that you find aesthetically pleasing to encourage you to wear them every time you step into the studio,” says Brianna.

    What is Reformer Pilates?

    Reformer Pilates is a form of exercise that uses a machine called the ‘reformer’ that essentially looks like a bed frame but with a series of straps and pulleys to create resistance in your movements, thus allowing the use of different muscles whilst you exercise.

    We spoke to Emma Stallworthy, the founder of Your Reformer – a platform that allows you to rent or buy your very own reformer machine for home – to discuss the benefits of Reformer Pilates.

    “Reformer Pilates has traditionally been known for rehabilitation or for elite dancers. In the past few years as more studios have opened with mainstream fitness style classes, its popularity has grown exponentially,” she says.

    “If you’ve tried a class, it’s easy to see why – so much variety in the movements and repertoire, so adaptable for different bodies, ages and fitness levels, it’s low impact so can be used as a daily movement, and it changes our body shapes like no other exercise I’ve known. The self-confidence and empowerment are second to none.”

    What are the benefits of Pilates?

    There are endless benefits to Pilates, both physical and mental.

    • Core strength and stability: Pilates has a major focus on core strength, and many of the movements in classes and workouts target the abdominal muscles and strengthen the area. This leads to improvements in posture and general stability.
    • Increased flexibility: as much of Pilates includes stretching of the muscles, practisers will notice better flexibility as a result and general improvement of movement.
    • Stress relief: Pilates incorporates deep breathing and mindful focus and can help to destress and relax the mind.

    Pilates is also a great workout for mature age women, as it is low impact it doesn’t put as much pressure on joints which can cause injuries.

    “Pilates offers an incredible low-impact approach to strengthening the body, with a particular focus on balance and stability. Pilates apparatus such as the reformer or Cadillac, are phenomenal tools to help adapt exercises seen in the mat Pilates repertoire by offering a plethora of exercises to decrease load and offer support for the body,” says Brianna Law.

    The great thing about Pilates is that there are many ways to adapt exercises to better suit the participants’ needs and strengths, as well as focusing on movements that can strengthen weaker areas and reduce everyday strain or pain.

    “Pilates is just as much about lengthening as it is strengthening, and this is what the spine in particular craves as we age. The box is a great option for arm exercises that others may do kneeling but that position can be more difficult as we age, so it’s inclusive in that way,” adds Emma.

    “Weight-bearing can also be challenging with weakened wrists so there are plenty of alternatives for body strength that don’t require the same amount of weight, simply by using springs to be more supportive for example.”

    48 per cent of Aussies are deprived of a good sleep. Thousands of five-star reviews say this can help https://www.nowtolove.com.au/lifestyle/emma-sleep-sale/ Fri, 05 Jul 2024 01:40:19 +0000 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/?p=518680 Emma Sleep for the sleep of your dreams.

    The post 48 per cent of Aussies are deprived of a good sleep. Thousands of five-star reviews say this can help appeared first on Now To Love.

    Good sleep is the cornerstone of health. And yet, new research shows that nearly half of all Australians suffer at least two sleep-related issues. More than making you feel crummy the next day, poor sleep has been shown to lead to dire health consequences. 

    Over time, sleepless nights can increase the risk of developing chronic health conditions like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease and stroke. Yikes!

    GOOD SLEEP = GOOD HEALTH

    Red Book Committee Chair Professor Danielle Mazza AM said, “Poor sleep can have significant negative effects on a patient’s physical and mental health. And it can sneak up on people when they’ve been stressed or experienced a change in their lives.

    “There can be a wide range of factors that contribute to poor sleep, including being overweight, alcohol, certain medicines, and age.

    “Issues with sleep affect people of all ages. And while some are more apparent to a patient like obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia, other sleep issues can be more subtle. If you have had trouble falling or staying asleep, or you find yourself tired throughout the day, you should speak to your GP to receive advice to help you get back on track.”

    6,600 FIVE STAR REVIEWS DON’T LIE

    In addition to seeking help from your GP, Emma’s Comfort mattress can also help make sleep troubles a thing of the past. Well over 6,000 five-star reviews aren’t a fluke. One reviewer said: “My decade long chronic back soreness dramatically decreased and I stopped waking up multiple times in the night trying to get comfortable.”

    Another mentioned: “10/10 So supportive and helped fix my back issues and helps me have a good night sleep every night I bought this.”

    Calling it a ‘Nourishing sleep’, another reviewer sang the mattress‘s praises, saying: “The bed is comfy and large. My back and shoulders no longer feel sore when turning around from sleeping on my side! My sleep quality has definitely improved.”

    DESIGNED FOR AUSSIES

    The Emma Comfort mattress was specifically designed to address the needs of Aussie sleepers. Its open-celled foam design gives each body the support it needs. 

    Regardless if you’re a side, stomach, back or all three sleeper, the Comfort mattress adapts to different parts of your body, distributing the pressure. 

    Bottom line: it provides the comfort you crave at an affordable price, so you can finally make your way to sweet dreams.

    Denim dreaming: Where to find the best women’s jeans for every body shape https://www.nowtolove.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/jeans-for-every-body-shape-54820/ Fri, 05 Jul 2024 01:13:01 +0000 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/fashion/fashion-trends/jeans-for-every-body-shape-54820 What is life without a trusty pair of jeans?

    The post Denim dreaming: Where to find the best women’s jeans for every body shape appeared first on Now To Love.

    ]]>
    Is there anything better than finding the perfect pair of jeans?

    Sure, it’s up there with the first sip of coffee in the morning, biting into that decadent croissant or even stepping on a particularly crunchy leaf.

    But for us fashion fiends of the world, a flawless fit in a pair of jeans incites the greatest joy of all.

    Now, as jeans continue to be the epitome of cool and casual style, it’s as good a time as any to start looking for your next trusty pair of denim.

    Whether they’re paired with a plain white tee for a classic look, or if you dress them up with a silky cami or blouse and whack on some heels – there’s no denying the humble jeans can make a very chic statement.

    There’s just one small catch – it can be a mission to find a style that suits you, especially if you’ve been blessed with a unique (but still just as wonderful) body shape.

    But fear not, denim devotees, we’ve got you sorted for your jean-shopping extravaganzas to come. Keep scrolling as we delve into the best styles for every body shape.

    Image: Getty

    Curvy

    If you’re blessed with the best kind of humps, chances are you’ll look incredible in the right pair of jeans.

    We recommend finding a high-waisted skinny or straight-leg style – the higher waistline will accentuate your shape by holding in the tum and flaunt the bum. Meanwhile, a fitted leg style will provide the silhouette your pins are begging to show off.

    If you’re conscious of your bum looking bigger than you’d like (not that you should – there’s a reason why the tune Baby Got Back remains a banger to this day), opt for a style that has wide pockets, they’ll balance your behind in the best way.

    See our favourite pick below:

    01

    Levi’s Curve High-Waisted Mom Jeans

    $69 (usually $129.95) at Myer

    These high-waisted Mom Jeans will never go out of style. They sit high on your waist and can be styled with sneakers for a casual look, or dressed up with a pair of heels.

    Sizes: 16 – 24

    Key features:

    • Tapered leg for tailored style
    • Zip fly
    • 5-pocket styling

    Bigger thighs

    If you feel like the world ain’t ready for your jelly, think again.

    Having generous thighs has some major benefits. For starters, you’ll never have to worry about losing that pesky gherkin out the other end of your burger as you take a bite, because it’ll just fall straight onto your lap (bye-bye thigh gap – see ya never).

    Better yet, being blessed with ample thigh mass means you’ll look seriously good in the right pair of jeans.

    Our recommendation? Opt for a style with a slim or skinny ankle to flaunt your curves in all the right places. And much like our curvy fellows, look out for a high-waisted cut to help to give you that hourglass look.

    See our favourite pick below:

    02

    Levi’s Curve Mile High Super Skinny Jeans Plus

    $149.90 at The Iconic

    This sleek pair has just the right amount of stretch in all the right places so you can move about with ease and in style.

    Sizes: 16 – 24

    Key features:

    • Cotton-rich denim; added stretch
    • Super skinny leg
    • High-rise waistband

    Also available at:

    Flat bottom

    You might struggle to shake it when the Black Eyed Peas’ My Humps comes on, but you’ll have a whole lot more to give when you’re rocking your favourite pair of denim.

    And in actual fact, your new catchphrase should really be ‘No bum? No problem!’, because there’s a whole world of jean styles out there that’ll flatter your form.

    We recommend mixing things up with a shorter hemline that’ll draw attention to the upper part of your legs. A bootleg or straight high-rise jean will also lift your derriere and have you shakin’ it to T-Pain’s Low in no time at all.

    See our favourite pick below:

    03

    Sailor Jean

    $159.95 at Rolla’s Jeans

    One of Rolla’s most flattering fits, this pair is specially angled and shaped in the back for a “truly peachy-looking butt”.

    Sizes: 5 – 16

    Colours: Ashley blue, Lily blue, rinse black, eco ruby blue, Sophie and Birkin blue

    Key features:

    • High rise, slim fit with a sailor wide leg
    • Longer leg length, also available in regular

    Petite

    She may be but little, but with the right pair of jeans, boy can she be fierce.

    If you fall in the perfectly petite category, we again recommend playing around with different kick, flare and high-waisted jean styles that’ll elongate your legs and give you a confidence boost to boot.

    Never underestimate the power of a strong shoe either – even a kitten heel that lifts the sole of your foot slightly will make you look taller.

    See our favourite pick below:

    04

    ASOS Design Petite Flared Jeans

    $63 at ASOS

    These stretchy pair of jeans are specifically designed for a petite fit – taking out the need to get them tailored yourself.

    Sizes: W23/L26 – W34/L28

    Colours: mid blue and light blue

    Key features:

    • Flared straight fit
    • High rise
    • Belt loops

    Tall

    Are you often asked whether you play basketball? Is the task of changing light bulbs often assigned to you? If these feats are all too real, chances are you fall into the ‘tall’ category.

    When it comes to shopping for the right pair of denim, a wide-leg mom or boyfriend-jean style with a mid-rise waist will balance your figure.

    A Bootcut pair of jeans is also a great option – they’re slimmer on the thighs but wider at the ankle which will shape and flatter your assets.

    05

    Eva Wide

    $189.95 at Neuw Denim

    Available in a 32″ leg, these jeans will have your legs looking miles long.

    Sizes: 6 – 14

    Colours: royal indigo, noir, Parisienne and resonate

    Key features:

    • Mid-rise wide leg
    • Flattering long leg length
    • Fitted through the waist hip and thigh

    Slim & straight

    For some, keeping things straight and narrow applies quite literally.

    If you’re not-so-curvy but want to flaunt your assets in their best light, we recommend a classic skinny leg or jegging style to provide both shape and comfort.

    When it comes to length, the world is pretty much your oyster – a cropped look will casual things up for the day while a full-length style is perfect to dress up with a pair of heels.

    See our favourite pick below:

    06

    Hi Pins Skinny Jean

    $109 (usually $139.95) at Wrangler

    Add a vintage touch to your wardrobe with these classic blue jeans that are designed to be worn super tight all over with cropped ankle length.

    • High rise
    • Cropped ankle length

    The deep V-shaped cut in the front is specifically designed to remain hidden under low-cut tops and dresses, giving you that seamless and stylish look.

    Another benefit of a plunge bra is its ability to enhance and lift, almost working like a push-up bra when you want to add volume and achieve a fuller look.

    The post Stay on track with your fitness goals thanks to the most affordable smartwatches appeared first on Now To Love.

    Whether you fancy an early morning jog every day or consider yourself a well-established gym member, you may be on the hunt for a smartwatch.

    Of course, smartwatches aren’t just limited to the fitness folk either – the Apple Watch is a fashion statement after all – but rather appeal to almost everyone.

    However tempting, though, a smartwatch does come with a hefty price tag, especially a high-grade option that is packed with must-have features to help you track your fitness.

    This is why we turn our attention to the more affordable choices, ones that do the job without the dent in the wallet so we can wear them with peace of mind.

    The best affordable smartwatches in Australia

    Below, we take a look at some of our favourite smartwatches in Australia that are stylish, functional, and most importantly, affordable.

    01

    Tensky Smartwatch

    $79.99 at Amazon

    03

    06

    Is a cheap smartwatch worth it?

    Opting for an affordable smartwatch comes with its pros and cons. For starters, smartwatches on the cheaper side can be a good option for those on a budget or new to smartwatches. 

    They’re cost-effective, offering basic features like step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and notifications, making them ideal for first-time users, kids, or anyone who just needs the essentials. 

    However, cheaper smartwatches are often made with lower-quality materials, making them less durable, and they may lack advanced features like GPS, NFC for payments, or high-quality displays.

    Therefore affordable smartwatches are better suited for casual use, basic fitness tracking, and as an introduction to smartwatches.
