May 8th, 2013 is the first World Ovarian Cancer Day. This is a really big deal as there is no screening for this particular cancer and the symptoms are not obvious, so many women are diagnosed in stage 3&4. Spreading awareness is crucial in order to know the symptoms and get diagnosed earlier.
My amazing mummy is in remission and she continues to inspire me with her courage, stamina and positive attitude. Please take a moment to learn more at ovariancancerday.org

My Blog Evolves for 2013...
I am so excited about the opportunities that surround me and I really can't wait to share my latest projects with you. For now my blog is slowly morphing into a style blog. Ever since my first photo shoot at aged 7, I have been inspired by fashion and style. In fact whether in front of the camera as a model or working as a featured fashion editor or style reporter it's been a part of my working life, all my life. And now as an actress it's part of my life in a new way. As I get closer to launching my full acting website, I am happy to announce that my blog will focus on style and holistic beauty (I will still feature exclusive behind the scenes photos and project news along the way).
I recently found my first comp card and as the new year unfolds it reminded me of how far I've come...
Here's to the best year ever. A year full of love, joy, good health and fulfilling our full potential. Dream Big and in vivid color!

Fashion Fights Cancer....
If you follow my blog you will know my support and work with Fashion Fights Cancer since 2010. The same year I discovered my mum had Ovarian Cancer. Fast forward to 2012 and we are celebrating her landmark two year's in remission this Christmas. Truly the best gift ever. It took courage to open up about something so personal, however the love and support I received once I shared my mums story has been simply incredible. I know I was desperate to hear positive stories when I first found out, so by sharing my mums story I want to spread hope and ignite dialogue about this particular cancer.
Fashion Fights Cancer continues to spread awareness and make a difference through it's dedicated work. You are invited to celebrate with us tonight, December 10th, in Manhattan.
Please see the invite at http://fashionfightscancer.org

Love Song...
As an actress it's always a pleasure to watch other performances. I find myself walking away entertained and inspired by the experience. Such was the case with the play Love Song by John Kolvenbach. Performed by The Seeing Place Theater and directed by Erin Cronican, whom I should add also performed in the play.
There are four characters; Beane, Joan, Harry, Molly and Bill. The Love Song explores the relationship between a protective sister, Joan played by Marnie Klar, and her brother, Beane played by Brandon Walker. I found myself drawn to Beane and his journey throughout the play, it was exciting to watch this character evolve. The power of love and the impact it has on your daily life is universally relatable, so whatever your age this is a story that will make you smile, laugh, pull at your heart strings and for many New Yorkers relate to the fact that you can be surrounded by people and still feel alone sometimes.
I enjoyed seeing Joan's character come alive through Beanes experience. To see the layers peel off to reveal a lighter side made Joan more multi dimensional. Infact her laugh during one scene with her husband, I don't want to give away too much of the play, was magnetic and reminded me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.
One of my absolute favourite scenes was between Beane and his sister Joan. The setting was a cafe and I literally felt the courage in Brandon Walkers choices as an actor and it was a pleasure to watch.
The set design worked beautifully thanks to the set designer Joe Arnow. The theater is in a great location, only moments from Columbus Circle. Love Song ends on December 9th so I would purchase tickets now before they sell out. It feels good to support Indie theater. The Seeing Place Theater is known for intensely intimate ensemble work. That passion and intimacy is evident in Love Song.
Congratulations to Erin Cronican on her directorial debut. I'm always in awe of the skill set required to combine directing and acting in one production.
