An Ode to Joyful Living

Is blogging still a thing? Maybe not, but hey, if you're here, then welcome! This corner of the internet is where we’ll explore what it truly means to enjoy life.

One of the reasons we started Ajeye was because the beauty space felt a little one-dimensional – emphasising mainly the outward appearance. For us, to live life and enjoy is the key to beauty so we wanted a space that captured our holistic view. One that portrays beauty as an expression of embracing your authentic self, believing that beauty is not only about flawless skin but also about laughter, adventures, and the everyday moments. Don’t worry, we still love body oils and serums – we are a beauty brand after all; it’s in our DNA. We’d rather you think of products as the finishing touch not the starting point.

We want to spotlight the other things aside skincare, that bring us joy. The little things, the big things, the mundane and the extraordinary things – all the experiences that make up for a rich and full life. They’re what we call the “other joys”. So as much as we’d love to make this about skincare alone – seriously we could talk about body oils all day – & Other Joys is our digital diary about, well, the other joys too.

So, what can you expect on this blog? A mixture of content celebrating life's experiences. We'll explore self-care rituals, tips and tricks for glowing skin, continue our #beautyunfiltered series, where we celebrate diverse voices and challenge conventional beauty norms.  We’ll share travel stories that widen our perspectives and recommend books that spark our imaginations. Whatever it is, we assure you it'll be authentic, enriching and worth the read.

Think of & Other Joys as a sanctuary amidst the digital chaos. An antidote to the perfectly curated world. A place to find inspiration, practical advice, and a reminder to live out your most authentic self.

There's no script here, just real people having real conversations. So, whether you're here for the beauty tips, the stories, or simply a dose of inspiration, know that you are warmly welcome.
