Notes From the Kitchen Table

A weekly email for women living in Regional Australia.

Tired of content that assumes you live five minutes from the shops and have endless energy?

-stories from everyday regional life
-simple systems that make home and meals feel lighter
-things I am making, trying or learning
-honest talk about skin, climate and energy in harsh conditions
-quiet encouragement for women who are holding a lot

    Who's Behind These Letters?

    I am Donna, founder of You Beaut Co and mum of six in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Western Australia.

    I have spent most of my life in country WA, juggling kids, work and community in places that are hot, dry, dusty and a long way from everything. I make natural lip balm for dry country lips and write for women who are doing the quiet work of keeping a family and a home going in those conditions.

    You Beaut Co is about women resourcing women in real conditions, not perfect ones. These emails are one way I do that.
