Easier-looking isn’t always easier to use.

Our advocates compare jars and squeeze bottles, and find seals that need teeth to remove, lids that need tools, and bottles that take far more grip than you’d expect.

Jar or squeeze bottle, what’s your experience? Remix this Reel to show us how you open yours, or tell us in the comments.

Just call me @curated.aus personal paparazzi 📸

Had the most beautiful day out in @curated.aus ‘s marquee trackside at @thoroughbredpk for their Hops and Hooves Festival!

We ate, drank, bet on some horses, danced and made new friends but best of all we raised over $2000 for @multiple_sclerosis_australia 💜

If you’re yet to come to a Curated event I’m not sure what you’re waiting for ✨

Tag your friends if you spot them 🌸

BRISBANE, LET’S SHOW UP FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH MS. 💛

Living with multiple sclerosis can affect so many parts of everyday life — mobility, energy, independence, work and connection with others.

But no diagnosis should mean losing connection with the community around you.

On Saturday 10 October, our Serve the City Brisbane volunteers are joining MS Queensland’s Moonlight Walk 🌙✨ — standing alongside people living with MS and other neurological conditions, their families and supporters, while helping make this important community event possible.

We’ll be welcoming participants, supporting activities, helping behind the scenes, face painting for the little ones and lending a hand wherever it’s needed. 🙌

It’s a few hours of our time, but it contributes to something much bigger: supporting the organisations already doing the work, learning more about the communities around us, and helping create a Brisbane where people feel connected, included and supported. 💛

📅 Saturday 10 October
📍 Roma Street Parkland
🕓 From 4:00pm

Join our Serve the City Brisbane crew for the night! 🌙✨

A message from @multiple_sclerosis_australia Head of Research, Dr Tennille Luker, ahead of Saturday’s Curated Race Day for a Cause ❤️

We’re so excited to bring everyone together for a beautiful afternoon, but there’s also a really important reason behind it.

Every raffle ticket, Curated Stakes entry and Fashions on the Field entry helps us raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis Australia and support the incredible work they do in research, advocacy and the search for a cure.

Big thank you to the Curated community for getting behind the Race Day for a Cause. The money we raise together will go towards opportunities for new discoveries and supports the research community working towards a future where nobody has to face MS.

This is the power of community in action and together we can do a whole lot of good 🫶

See you all on Saturday! Tickets still available, link in bio 🎟️

Eight years ago, I experienced my first symptom of MS and this week, I had the absolute honour of joining the @multiple_sclerosis_australia podcast to announce a film that means so much to me. 🤍

@thefinalspotlight tells the story of a 1950s showgirl who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and must confront what that means for the life she loves.

At the time, there were no disease modifying treatments, and women with MS were discouraged from starting families. I keep thinking about what it must have felt like to receive that diagnosis with so few options, and all the women who had dreams just as big as mine.

I’m telling this story to honour those who walked this path before me, those who walk alongside me now, and those who will follow us.

The dream is a big, glitzy premiere for World MS Day in 2028, where you can all come along, dress like a 1950s showgirl (whatever being a showgirl means to you!) and help raise money for MS Australia. I want us to celebrate together while supporting the research that gives me so much hope for a future without MS.

Saturday marks eight years since that first symptom. Grand Final Day, of course, because apparently MS had to make its entrance on the holiest day of my year!!! (still salty that it ruined the 2018 grand final for me!)

There’s a lot to feel about that anniversary, but I’ve decided to celebrate every year I get to live, create, love and dream with MS. ✨

It’s a BRONZE medal for @em_petricola_cycling at the UCI Para World Championships C3 Time Trial 🎉

Em went out at a blistering pace over the 14.6km circuit, but the harsh weather conditions, while tough for everyone, certainly added layers of challenge to her race given her #MultipleSclerosis symptoms. She held on for bronze, just 4 seconds behind the winner.

A gallant effort and fantastic result, followed by a strong 5th place in the C3 Road Race. Congrats, Emily!

Day 214 ➡️ Day 240 🤝

Life has been absolutely flat out lately between work, two little girls, training, touch footy and everything else that seems to get thrown into the mix, but somehow every single day I still find myself back hanging off this bar 😂

And to be honest, that’s probably what I’ve loved most about this challenge. It started as a pretty simple idea to do pull-ups every day for an entire year, raise some money and hopefully create a bit more awareness around Multiple Sclerosis, but it’s turned into something I’ve genuinely had so much fun doing.

240 days in and the support, messages, people jumping in for reps and conversations that have come from this challenge have made every sore hand and late-night set worth it.

The pull-ups are really just the vehicle. The whole reason behind this has always been Mum and trying to get a few more people talking about MS, learning about it and understanding just how many people and families are affected by it.

Still plenty of days left in the year, plenty more pull-ups to get through and plenty more opportunities to keep spreading the message.

Day 240. Still going. Still having fun. Still raising awareness for MS. 🧡

THIS AIN’T HARD.

Introducing The Final Spotlight 💎

Set in 1950s Melbourne, The Final Spotlight follows a showgirl diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as she navigates the terrifying uncertainty of living in a body that is also her livelihood, at a time when there was no effective treatment and no cure.

This film is deeply personal to me. It pays tribute to the people diagnosed in generations past, who were too often given little more than fear, uncertainty and instructions to simply wait for their condition to progress.

It also honours those of us who are diagnosed today and are frightened by what the future may hold, but choose to take life on anyway.

Inspired by my own experience of living with MS, this story has lived in my head for a VERY long time. Now, it is finally stepping into the (spot) light.

Coming World MS Day 2028.
