TW: Mental health talk
Today I received a PR box from , a brand I have loved since they came onto the scene (combo skin, yo). I tried to seek them out at Bondi Beach last week to say hello, but didn’t manage to find them.
When this box arrived on my doorstep today, I opened it and I almost cried. I would like to thank Davey and the team at BWY for this unique, thoughtful, and extremely meaningful gift that made me reflect (literally) on my own mental health struggles over the years, especially during this recent week where the depression kinda got me a bit. I hope that this gift can provide a young person the encouragement and desire to see themselves live to be my age (37), because I sure as hell never thought I’d get here.

[ID: A mirror selfie of Lara. The mirror attached to a blue and yellow gift box. There is blue text above the brand logo next to the mirror that reads “We don’t make beauty. You do.” Text in the box reads “We know this box is empty. Yes it’s intentional. Your skin doesn’t just wear skincare. It wears how you feel. Your mental health is directly linked to your skin health and stress, anxiety, and self-talk all show up on your face. That’s why this World Mental Health Day, we’re not sending product. We’re sending you. Because YOU are the most important ingredient.And in your name, we’ve also donated to one of our four Aussie mental health charity partners. Love, Davey xx BORING WITHOUT YOU”.]
