In this episode of Beauty Talk, Rose Garnett (beauty editor) sits down with the cover star of Gritty Pretty Magazine's March 2024 issue–musician, Kita Alexander.
She's Australia's answer to Dua Lipa with the lyrical prowess of Taylor Swift but what makes Kita Alexander even more impressive is that she is taking on the music industry with a husband and two kids in tow. On the precipice of launching her debut album, Young In Love!, the 28-year-old is getting comfortable with stepping into her authenticity and being real–and her fans are loving her for it. 

Here, Kita and Rose chat about everything from trusting the universe to navigating motherhood and the inspiration behind her new album. Oh, and of course Kita also spilled on the beauty bits she cannot live without.
