Introducing Lust Minerals, Australia’s favourite clean beauty brand founded in 2014 by mum of two, Stacey Hollands.

Lust Minerals was founded with a vision to prove that mineral makeup has high-performance power to change your skin, your life and leave the planet a better place.

Stacey Hollands founded Lust Minerals in 2014, inspired to educate and provide clean beauty products to women worldwide after watching her father lose his battle with cancer.

Stacey made it her mission to provide women with an alternative to synthetic and harmful chemical based beauty products that were available in groceries, pharmacies and beauty outlets worldwide.

“After losing my Dad to cancer at a young age, it really made me realise we don’t get a second chance and that chemicals can lead to so many health issues,” explains Hollands.

While there were plenty of natural based products out there, few married “clean” and “high-performance” to deliver real results for women. Stacey was inspired to bring a cleaner alternative to Australian women, minimising the chemicals put onto the skin and into our bodies.

After years of hard work, research, and development, Stacey went on to create global beauty brand, Lust Minerals by the time she was 25. Lust Minerals is Australia’s first all-natural mineral beauty brand that fuses clean beauty with performance and affordability.Stacey added, “I was inspired to create an Australian clean beauty range that is both affordable and high quality. It was important that I created a range that offers real results, superior performance and is cleaner and better for our health.”

Before long, Stacey had built a growing empire with 10+ employees, including Stacey’s husband (and biggest supporter from day one), James. With more than 487% growth in just one year, Lust Minerals is proof that an unwavering commitment to your vision and a passion for the industry pays off.

Sadly, Stacey’s father passed away shortly before the launch, but Stacey hopes that Lust Minerals will give him something to be proud of. Today, Lust Minerals is passionate about changing people’s lives all around the world, empowering women to control what they put on their skin and into their bodies.

Melbourne property market heats up as buyers rush into affordable suburbs ahead of promising 2026 outlook

In Short:
– Melbourne’s property market sees increased activity and competition from first-time buyers and investors due to auction bidders.
– Key suburbs and regional areas attract strong demand, with buyers encouraged to build support teams for off-market opportunities.

Rob Panetta from Lux Buyers Agents discussed the current state of Melbourne’s property market, noting increased buyer activity and competition due to multiple bidders at auctions. Both first-time buyers and investors are showing significant interest in the market.

Affordability is a key driver for investor behavior. Melbourne’s property values attract interest from interstate investors who recognise the city as undervalued, especially compared to areas in Sydney and Western Australia. Panetta highlighted that 2026 is expected to be pivotal for Melbourne’s property sector.

Active Suburbs

Areas like Faulkner, Hadfield, Glenroy, and parts of Keylor East and Avondale Heights are seeing notable activity due to first home buyer incentives. The Frankston area and regional hubs like Ballarat, Bendigo, and Geelong also showcase strong buyer demand.

Home purchases are favoured over apartments, which Panetta advises against unless for lifestyle choices. Many older apartments have decreased in value, whereas land acquisition within budget is recommended for clients.

Australians urged to prioritise disciplined investing over chasing high returns amidst concerns of an impending asset bubble.

In Short:
– Australians are building wealth through disciplined saving and investing rather than chasing high returns.
– Bryce Jenkins warns against heavy investments at market peaks due to risks from asset bubbles.

Australia’s financial landscape is evolving as individuals pursue disciplined wealth-building habits. Bryce Jenkins from The Virtuous Collective emphasises that it is not investments that lead to wealth but rather the consistency of disciplined saving and investing.

Recent market trends indicate that exceptional returns seen in property, cryptocurrencies, shares, and bonds may not persist. Jenkins argues that committing additional capital to a portfolio has a more significant impact on wealth than simply chasing high returns.

He cites scenarios from his book, “11 Unpopular Reasons Why I’m Rich and You Are Not,” illustrating how even small capital injections can significantly benefit investors over time.

Australian workplaces face rising loneliness, prompting calls for leaders to enhance authentic communication according to new employee report.

In Short:
– Australian workplaces face rising unhappiness, prompting calls for authentic executive communication and insights on challenges.
– Nearly half of Australian employees feel lonely, affecting productivity, with effective communication crucial for engagement.

As unhappiness and distrust rise in Australian workplaces, this year’s employee communication impact report calls for authentic communication from executives.

David Burnand from Staffbase provides insights into the challenges facing employers. Employers often express a desire for authenticity but fear potential backlash.

This concern is exacerbated by the current emphasis on productivity, which can overshadow the need for genuine communication. Many HR managers advise caution, suggesting that leaders should remain reserved, which impacts workplace dynamics.

In Australia, nearly half of the workforce experiences some level of loneliness, often due to disconnection from their organisations.

This sense of isolation correlates with a 23% increase in job-seeking behaviour and significantly lowers productivity.
