AGE: 39

WORKLIFE

I own DermaZen Skin Health Clinic – we focus on skin health restoration and bringing the latest anti-ageing treatments to Adelaide.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS/BEST KNOWN FOR…

Helping to keep many women and men in Adelaide looking young and at their best. I’m also known for my many stories – life has been a great adventure so far.

I’VE LIVED IN MY HOME FOR…

About a year. We relocated from the Hills to the beach – and just love the sea change. I live with my husband, our two children and our two dogs. The dogs tend to sleep most of the day – where as the kids most certainly don’t.

MY HOME IS...

A getaway from the daily grind. A space that reflects our love for travel and escapism and a great place to raise a family.

I LOVE MY HOME…

Because – it’s a memory maker!

At home with Shaun Douglas-Galley.

BUT I STILL NEED TO…

Find some time to go through all the homewares we brought over from the UK. There are boxes that remain unopened – it’s the kind of thing that always gets pushed back because the day to day takes over.

MY DECORATING STYLE

I like strong, bold but simple design that tells a story. That’s why Asian influence has always featured heavily in our home.

RECENT PURCHASE

I love Homebasics and Design, Jetty Rd, Glenelg, and recently bought a Mr Moss SOH Melbourne Candle – the scent is incredible.

I COLLECT…

Sunglasses and sunscreen – both are important – and each year I seem to stockpile both.

FAVOURITE ROOM

I love the clinic room – the idea that you can have a relaxing treatment and watch dolphins jumping in the ocean – it’s a win every time.

HOME FAVOURITES

— Our Tamara de Lempicka inspired vase – the Art Deco era of the 1920s/30s was a formative influence for our modern age design – love it!

— Sonos sound system – It’s on every morning, every evening – couldn’t be without music in our home.

— Versace L’Homme for men cologne – I first came across this in New York in 2005 and have been addicted ever since.

I COULDN’T LIVE WITHOUT…

My Ninja machine – it makes the perfect smoothie shake every morning and helps me tick off some of my five a day.

WHEN I GET HOME AT NIGHT…

I sit for 30 minutes and just take time out – no social media – no devices – we all lead busier and busier lives. It’s important to look around, be grateful and connect – before the madness begins again.

AT WEEKENDS I LIKE TO…

Head out with my boys on their scooters. We all have our own scooter, it’s great fun, we can have adventures as a family – and it costs nothing.

I LIKE TO LISTEN TO…

My kids talking about Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu – it’s a very different reality – and very serious business at their age.

CLEAN FREAK OR MESSY BESSIE?
I like to think I’m a clean freak. But really it’s freaking out cleaning that happens in this house.

ON MY WISH LIST IS…

Alexa – the idea that I could talk to technology and make my life that much easier – a win every time in my book.

WHEN I’M HOME I LIKE TO COOK…

I’m a good cook in the winter and make a great Sunday roast with Yorkshire puddings and homemade gravy. Summer time gets lazy and it’s often salad with chicken.
