as mentioned in my about me page, i've spent thousands of hours in the last 8-10 years reading and researching fine dining-style meals and recipes. the hobby was actually a form of escapism that i used as a distraction to my issues, childhood traumas, and mental health in the past

now that my depression arc is over and self-love arc is beginning, i've turned the skills and knowledge i've gained into something positive 😊

it’s not much right now, but hopefully it’s a small step in the right direction, and maybe one day we can make a much bigger positive impact together

you'll notice more projects relating to animal welfare and mental health as those two things have helped me the most ☺️ 

💚 giving back with every sip 🍵

current:

•  🍵 slooooooowly in the works, but to be honest i've been too busy at work (guess who helps run the number one mri department in public health in nz? 😏) 🍵
  • ALSO so many businesses are flakier than the dry skin from some of my patients' feet so it's really difficult to start more projects wow
