B&K - What are your top 3 hidden gems in Noosa?

Toscani - Noosa has so many hidden gems that visitors miss out on but there’s got to be some benefits to being a local right?

I love Vanilla Food (VanillaFood)  for my morning coffee. It's such a tranquil place to start the day in the early morning before the craziness begins. I get up 20 minutes early and head straight there. I use this time to catch up on emails, Instagram messages and if I’m lucky get in a little Insta post on @toscaniaustralia over an oat piccolo before heading to the gym.

My second pick would be La Bouquet (La Bouquet Florist Noosa), a heavenly newly opened florist. The blooms, candles... everything is incredible and it’s a great place to pick up a quick gift too.

My third pick and my all-time favourite go-to for any treatments is Riverside Beauty (Riverside Beauty). I have been going there since I was a teen. The team there is really experienced in all things skin and you can trust them for great advice.

B&K - Your favourite destination to escape to? 

Toscani - Any snow-covered mountain! I love overseas travel but I also love the Australian snowy mountains. We have been going down there for winter ski holidays since we were kids. My mum, Maxine, lived there for a long time and took us back most years growing up. It’s become a tradition. It’s a full-on holiday as we snowboard everyday and I try to keep up with the boys which means I come home more exhausted than when I left.

I always say, the only holiday I have come back lighter than when I left was Japan! The sashimi mixed with non-stop boarding was great for the waistline! I love that I am uncontactable on the mountain and my mind is busy with other things other than work. It’s all about the technology detox for me!

B&K - Your top 3 travel essentials?
  1. Loccitane hand cream for the plane. (Shea Butter Hand Cream for Dry Skin 150ml | L'OCCITANE Australia (loccitane.com))
  2. Payot face moisturiser that I apply under my eyes regularly throughout the flights. (Hydra 24+ Crème Glacée - PAYOT)
  3. A small crossbody bag with detachable strap so you can wear as a clutch in the evening.
B&K - Your favourite piece from the new/previous Bird & Knoll collection?

Toscani - Hands down the Ulla Dress! You just can’t go wrong with a simple style like this. It’s going to be my Summer go-to in the black for everything from work to play. I often head straight out after work so it’s the perfect style to do a quick footwear change, add some gold jewellery, a small bag and woolah! Locale here I come!

B&K - The last thing you’ve listened to? (song, playlist, podcast, audible etc?)  

Toscani - I do love a podcast while I am showering. My two favourites are Mia Freedman’s No Filter and Elle Ferguson’s Sliding Doors. I just love listening to other women’s experiences and success stories!
