It has always been said that there is a certain light about Miranda Kerr; that she radiates a warmth and happiness to all those fortunate enough to be in her presence.
She is, quite arguably, the sweetheart of Australia.
A Victoria's Secret angel, creator of organic skincare KORA, author of Treasure Yourself, ambassador for Too Many Too Soon - a youth suicide prevention programme, wife to Mr Orlando Bloom and now mother to newborn Flynn - her "little ray of sunshine", it seems Miranda's light is glowing even brighter.
And while I'm a Kiwi girl at heart I'll still be celebrating Australia Day with the rest of this great country on January 26.
So I thought what better time than before the eve of Australia Day to take a look at the girl from the small town of Gunnedah, NSW, who went on to shine her light upon the world.
Miranda created KORA using ingredients she believes in such as Noni which is high in Vitamin C and antioxidants. Found in parts of Tahiti and the Pacific Islands this plant has served Polynesia for over 2000 years. Other key ingredients include Macrobiotic salts from Australia's Pacific Ocean, Rosehip Oil and Vitamin A, C and E to name a few.
This skincare range is next on my list of products to try as it protects the skin from everyday environmental elements.
These are exposed to the skin while we're enjoying the great Aussie lifestyle.
So for a beach bunny like myself, KORA sounds like a winner!
