When I interviewed Melissa Leong it was before the MasterChef announcement. Back then, I was excited about her upcoming Netflix fame.
There was so much to chat about with Melissa aka @fooderti on Instagram. The zig-zag of her career, two years living in Tasmania on a self-imposed sabbatical, writing cookbooks and hosting and judging on The Chefs’ Line on SBS and now, Netflix.
In this episode Melissa talks about the role of food in her Singaporean-Australian upbringing. We chat about the role of SBS in Australia, diversity and representation on the small screen. I also shamelessly crush on Melissa’s style.

Brooklyn-based Laura Tucker has written over 20 books - two of which were New York Times bestsellers - Standing Tall with Vivian Stringer and A Mother’s Reckoning with Sue Klebold.
But in this interview we chat about All The Greys on Greene Street - Laura’s YA fiction debut. The book takes place in New York City in 1981 and our 12-year-old hero Olympia is struggling with a mother who won’t get out of bed, a father who has gone missing and there’s an art mystery afoot.
Laura talks about that particular moment in SoHo history, kids roaming the city and the writer’s life Laura has created for herself.
Find Laura on Instagram and buy her book from your fave indie bookseller.

Jennie Hogg of Lois Avery returns to Head Ovary Heels! Jennie and I were chatting recently and we thought a follow up podcast would be a trip as Jennie's life and business has evolved so much since she started Lois Avery nearly three years ago.
In this interview Jennie talks about getting to know her customers, breaking the rules of marketing and how the really great business deals have come to her. Her luxe, made-in-Italy cashmere scarves are stocked at London’s Fortnum and Mason and in Tokyo at the Isetan department store.
Definitely follow Jennie on Instagram for her travels in Italy and her love for all things Italian.

My shield-maiden co-workers were addicted to to the History Channel tv series Vikings. I overheard the intense conversations and peeped their Rollo screensavers and decided to jump into the series over Christmas. To use an old Viking word, I became enthralled.
I loved the character of Aslaug, Ragnor Lothbrok’s second wife, played by Alyssa Sutherland. I loved how much she loved her sons. It felt very modern to me.
I had interviewed Alyssa 17 years earlier for Black+White magazine. I sent an email to her agent and was able to set up a time with her across the Pacific. I loved chatting with Alyssa - she was funny, smart and brazen. “No one should listen to me for beauty advice,” she told me.
Alyssa is great on Instagram and you should follow her! She has two accounts @therealalyssas and @thelightaroundme. Follow them both!

I first met Sigourney over email when I would write beauty stories for her at Vogue Australia. I’ve always admired Sigourney as an editor and writer (she has a lovely turn of phrase).
Four years ago, Sigourney left Vogue to work full-time on her website Beauticate. In this episode she talks about her evolution as a businesswoman, mother and a woman who doesn’t necessarily juggle life: “I just drop things.” Yep, she’s the real deal.
You can find Sigourney on Instagram and Twitter @SigourneyCantelo. And check out Beauticate on Instagram and Facebook @Beauticate.

Sydney artist Dina Broadhurst is one of my absolute favourites on Instagram. Her work is bold, sexy and exciting. It was such a pleasure to speak with her about her art, life and beauty routines: such as curled eyelashes, light foundation from MAC and a lip balm from Elizabeth Arden. Oh, and she wears a high heel for going out at night.
Sydney-based Broadhurst trained as a makeup artist, worked in magazines and advertising and now makes a living as an artist with her large-scale photography and collage works. It was all leading to this point!

In 2018, Jumana Hammouda and her sister Lama Perin launched Bodibar - a vegan body scrub made from all natural Australian ingredients. Jumana talks about the joys and challenges of creating a beauty product from scratch.
But before launching Bodibar, Jumana lived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and ran a luxury day spa. Of course, I was fascinated to find out about running a business in Saudi Arabia, what do Saudi women want and what is life really like in Saudi Arabia? Jumana tells all.

Tom McInerney is the chief makeup artist for the Netflix series Vikings. I can't think of another show on television where the story is told through makeup.
We know when characters are going into battle through their warpaint, dramatic eyeliner tells us that Floki is the pagan heart of the show, and the characters age throughout the series thanks to extremely clever aesthetics.
For our first bloke interview on Head Ovary Heels, we interviewed Irishman Tom McInerney. He talks about his past experience on Michael Hirst's The Tudors, battle scenes on Vikings and everything he's learned from women in his profession.

“I’m a digital dinosaur,” says Peony Lim who has made a living from her personal website for the past decade. While at university Peony was spotted by that first wave of street style photographers (shout out to Vanessa Jackman!) and went on to create her own presence online.
Of course, for this special beauty-themed series of Head Ovary Heels we asked Peony all our beauty questions. In return, we learnt about setting sprays, having a bath to keep your makeup on and her travel tips.
“I feel that real beauty comes from difference, not from conforming to some kind of generic stereotype,” says Peony. Amen to that.

Hannah-Rose Yee is my internet writing crush. We have the same pop culture aesthetic and I shamelessly like every Tweet she writes.
We talk about journalism in 2018 and the different places you can get your writing seen (check out Badlands Journal). We talk about writing for online and print and IRL friends and internet friends.
And of course because this is a special beauty-themed series of Head ovary Heels we talk about beauty and the role megababe Alexa Chung has played in Hannah’s life.
I should also mention that this episode is a nice companion piece to the Peony Lim interview - as both women reference each other.

Jamila Rowser’s Twitter bio (used to) say: Community Builder. And it’s spot on. Jamila is behind Geek Girl Brunch - an international meetup of women who geek out together over mimosas. She’s also one-half of the creative force behind Straight Outta Gotham, a hip hop and geek culture newsletter. And Jamila is also bringing to the world an all-girl created comic called Wash Day.
“I wanted to celebrate these moments that aren’t talked about that much, but are a big part of our lives.” The Wash Day story follows Kimana, a 26-year-old Afro-Latina woman living in the Bronx, as she cares for her long, thick hair.
On the podcast, Jamila talks style and beauty: her love for Fenty products, a catseye and a bold lip. And even though she lives in Florida, you’ll find Jamila wearing all black with a pop of colour.
Oh, and we talk about place. Jamila is an air force brat, born in England, raised in Hawaii and educated in Germany. She talks about the confidence she has gained from an international childhood on the move.

Ellen Newman was kind enough to invite me over to record at her Brisbane home. And I loved it. It was so minimalist and chic. Just like Ellen.
Ellen is the quiet powerhouse behind The Great State - an all over, all natural beauty balm that can be applied anywhere!
Ellen talked me through her beauty purchases, including a Kara Rosenlund fragrance. We talked about supporting small business and the beauty of the beach and the great outdoors.

Molly Goddard is one half of the London-based luxury pyjama business Desmond and Dempsey. Their prints are wonderful and reminiscent of Goddard's Queensland childhood (there's even a chic tropical pineapple print).
As this is a special beauty-themed season of Head Ovary Heels we ask Molly for her favourite everyday beauty brands from Portuguese and French pharmacies and in return she tells us how much she loves a bath and being in the sun. “I could just sit on the beach, all day, everyday.”
