Pearth organic kitchen review

PEARTH Organic Kitchen  

PEARTH is all about creating wholesome and healthy food. We don’t prescribe to any particular diet. On our menu you will find food to feed the gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian and meat eating people of Perth. What you won’t find in our food is processed products or refined sugars. We cook this way because we believe that health is the natural consequence of using whole foods, organic ingredients and conscious cooking techniques.

Over the past few years the Perth brunch scene has taken off, meaning my 'to visit' list has got ever longer. When Pearth opened in West Leederville I knew I had to visit, with an incredible menu focusing on wholesome and nutritious food and enough options to keep any vegetarian or vegan happy for days.

I met Catherine mid morning and was pleasantly surprised to find two empty tables, we grabbed menus and started deciding what to have. Catherine went for the banana bread and I went for an acai bowl. 

How incredible does it look? Catherine assured me it tasted just as good as it looked, if not better. 

Two pieces of fresh banana bread divided by laters of coconut yoghurt, house-made berry chia jam, fresh fruit and drizzled with maple syrup, Vegan and gluten free. $17.50

Kommunity Brew in Wild Jasmine ($8) is my all time favourite Kombucha, it's made here in Perth and tastes incredible! 

PEARTH have a hearty list of smoothie bowls, but with a little bit of advice from one of the staff I decided to go for a trusty acai bowl, it was totally delicious and the serving was so generous I had to pour the remainder in to a smoothie cup to take home. The PEARTH acai bowl is quite possibly the best acai bowl in Perth! 

Acai bowl containing acai, blueberries, banana, cacao, dates, almond milk served with fresh fruit and house-made granola. Vegan with gluten free option available. $17.50 

Our food was served really quickly, and I'm sure you'll agree the presentation and serving sizes are amazing. The service was great and the decor inside is light, bright and modern. Price wise, it's on par with other trendy brunch locations across the city.

2016 beauty favourites

I can't believe 2016 is coming to an end already, it feels like it was March only yesterday! 

My hair and beauty product collection has quadrupled through the year, so I thought I'd take 5 minutes to give you guys the run-down of my favourite products I've found this year....

Essano coconut milk hydrating shampoo and conditioner / $15.99 / Priceline

Perfect for hair which needs a little TLC, these products are plant based and contain no nasty parabens or sulphites they also smell incredible and leave hair soft and shiny.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge / $16.99 / Priceline 

Literally a miracle for applying foundation and concealer, the round sides are perfect for blending makeup and the flat edge and precision tip make flawless application around your eyes and nose super easy! *

White Glo Bright Nights / $8.00 / Most supermarkets and large chemists

These White Glo whitening films are incredible, simply peel them from the packet and stick over clean teeth for a quick fix whitening treatment. Perfect before a night out or big event! 

Yves Saint Lauren Black Opium EDT / from $99 / most department stores 

With top notes of coffee, heart notes of white florals, jasmine and orange blossom and base notes of vanilla, cedar and patchouli this perfume is the perfect mix of sweetness and rock chick. The smell is almost addictive-I literally can't stop reaching for it. 

Loreal Nude Magique Cushion foundation / from $16 / most pharmacies

I finally found a foundation which matches my skin tone perfectly, this formula is absolutely incredible with a sheer - medium coverage it leaves me with the perfect glow and has built in SPF 29.  It comes with a sponge in the pack, however I team it with my complexion sponge for flawless coverage.

LUSH million dollar moisturiser / $54.95 / LUSH 

A little bit goes a long way with this beautiful moisturiser from Lush. Filled with nourishing shea butter and nutrient rich sesame oil it leaves my skin wonderfully hydrated. It also has reflective pigments which create a beautiful glow, I love mixing it with foundation for a dewy look! *

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brown Pen / $38 / Sephora

My go-to for day to day perfect brows, the colour match is great and it literally only takes seconds to fill in my brows before heading out for the day, and it doesn't budge either which is awesome. 

L'Oreal False Lash Superstar Mascara / from $25 / most pharmacies 

I've honestly never had so many compliments on my eyelashes, this 2 step primer/ mascara eliminates the need for false lashes. First coat lashes with the white primer then layer on the black mascara, it lasts all day with no fall out at all...uhhhhmazing. 

Clinique Chubby Stick lip balm / $36 / most beauty and department stores

I've loved these lip balms since they were first released, Fuller Fig is my perfect day to day colour and the formula which is loaded with hydrating mango and shea butters, leaves my lips perfectly hydrated. 

Beauty Killer Palette - see below 

Moon child palette- see below 

Vanillary solid perfume / $9.95 / LUSH

Sweet, yet sophisticated this solid perfume melts into skin and leaves subtle notes of vanilla, tonic and jasmine. A little bit goes a long way. I also love layering this with 'Imogen Rose' solid perfume to  smell like the lush rose jam range. *

Real techniques expert face brush / $22.99 / Priceline 

There's not a beauty blogger in the world who doesn't own some Real Techniques brushes for good reason, they're incredible! Designed by beauty gurus Sam and Nic Chapman, this brush is the best seller in the range, it's Ultra firm and broad for application and blending of cream or liquid foundation, the bristles are super soft and 100% cruelty free. I also find this brush perfect for contouring!

Gone are the days of washing my brushes with soap, this formula gives brushes a deep clean restoring them to their former glory. 

Redken Beach Envy Wave Aid / $31.50 / Redken salons

This salt-free beach spray is amazing, it gives the most incredible boost of volume and creates perfect fresh-off-the-beach texture without the sand or salt water! 

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray / $23 mini or $49 full size / Mecca 

Absolutely miracle worker, a few sprays and makeup stays put for up to 16 hours. It has built in 'heat control' technology to help your skin stay cooler even in the Perth heat! 

Palmers facial cleansing oil / $14.99 / Priceline

Facial cleansing oil rose to fame in 2016, at first I was skeptical but quickly ditched the micellar water I'd sworn by for years in favour of this. Infused with oils and botanicals this gentle formula is perfect for sensitive skin, makeup removes quickly and skin is left feeling hydrated.

R and Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo / $29 / R and Co salons

R and Co are relatively new to the Australian market but their products are incredible. This dry shampoo is perfect for refreshing hair between washes and smells divine, I love the mini version (pictured) as it's perfect to pop in your hand luggage before a trip away*

Jeffrey Star Beauty Killer Eyeshadow Palette  / $65 / online only

Thought Jeffrey Star disappeared along with myspace? You are wrong. The scene superstar re-rose to fame this year with his cult beauty products. Beauty Killer is a 10 shadow palette, each shadow is packed with intense pigment, with a mix of matte, frost & glitter shades this palette is ridiculously versatile!
