    13: Champagne, Style & Skincare with Kirsten Smith founder of Bettyquette

    In this episode of Life in Colour, I'm joined by the fabulous Kirsten Smith — wife, mum, midlife cheerleader, and founder of Bettyquette, a skincare brand born from resilience, honesty, and a whole lot of heart. Kirsten and I chat about everything from business beginnings and travel tales to juggling motherhood and prioritising health — and how, through a season of adversity and illness, the idea for Bettyquette was born. We talk about what it means to age with grace and grit, the surprising upsides of midlife, and why a good serum and a splash of champagne can go a long way. Kirsten is a former early childhood teacher turned content creator and accidental founder of the award-winning skincare brand, Bettyquette. Based in Brisbane, Australia, she has spent the past decade sharing authentic, relatable life and style inspiration with her online community. Kirsten’s life took an unexpected turn when, at the age of 42, she began losing her eyesight and was diagnosed with a rare condition known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). The daily cocktail of medication she relied on to save her eyesight left her skin dry, dull, and dehydrated—yet nothing on the market provided the deep hydration her skin so desperately needed. Determined to find a solution, she created her own: a hydrating face oil. That one product became the foundation of Bettyquette, a natural skincare brand dedicated to helping women achieve healthy, glowing skin with products that truly work.

    12: What You’ll See in Stores This Autumn—And How to Wear It for Your Season

    There’s a lot hitting the shelves right now—rich autumn colours, layered textures, and accessories that look great… but don’t always feel great when you try them on. In this episode, I’m talking through what you’ll actually see in stores this season and how to make it work for you—without the overwhelm. I’ll walk you through these colours, cuts, and must-have pieces, and more importantly, how to figure out which versions of those colours will suit your season. Because olive, rust, burgundy—they’re not one-size-fits-all. And the right shade makes all the difference. So if you’ve ever stood in a change room thinking, “Why doesn’t this look right on me?”, this one will help you shop with more confidence, more clarity—and way less guesswork.

    In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, Jo Clark takes over the mic to interview me as I share my story of living with endometriosis since I was 14 and the life-changing decision to have a hysterectomy at 41. We dive into the decades-long struggle of navigating chronic pain, the endless treatments I tried, and the emotional toll that endometriosis has taken on every part of my life—my relationships, career, and mental health. This is a story of resilience, of refusing to give up, and of finally choosing what felt right for my body and my future. Whether you’ve battled endometriosis or know someone who has, this episode is a raw and real conversation about pain, perseverance, and reclaiming your life.For more information: Endometriosis Australia https://endometriosisaustralia.org/ Want to learn more about seasonal colour analysis?
