 Tips for the best beach trip
I love going away to the beach. For me, the beach helps me find my zen and is one of my favourite ways to kick back, relax and recharge. Over the last couple of years I’ve been enjoying some time out -  going on several mini beach trips along the Gold Coast, so I thought why not share some of my  tips on having the BEST TIME on a beach holiday! 

Location
-          I love being close to the beach, and when I saw that my most recent Airbnb I stayed at, had a beach front view I looked no further! Check out the amazing view I woke up to every morning!

-          I also love being close to restaurants, bars and shops too.. so I usually find a place close to or short driving distance of the Strand at Coolangatta as a lot of my favourite places to eat are around there. If you’re ever looking for amazing Italian food – Earth Sea and Pizza is a MUST! Check out this lunch special I tried - Lasagne, Salad and of course my favourite - chips !

Must Haves
-          There’s some things that are an absolute must to pack on a beach trip. I can’t go on holidays without my portable Bluetooth speaker. I love playing some tunes through my speaker and switch music on my phone or iPad ! My speaker is so handy whilst hanging by the water as its waterproof – but I wouldn’t take it swimming with me!

-   Besides a speaker to get the beach vibes going, I also enjoy using a large umbrella for some shade at the beach! With the cool sea breeze - sometimes it’s easy to forget how intense the UV can be,
    so I like to pack an umbrella to the beach. They are great 
    to keep cool and shady – plus there’s super cute styles, check out the one I used on my recent trip away.

Amazing Company
Lastly  if you’re looking to have the best beach trip away don’t forget to pack your friends!!!!!!!! My ‘little’ sister Kellie, sometimes joins me on my mini holidays!  She’s loads of fun and a massive foodie like myself. We both love vegging out at the beach and having picnics together!  Here’s a snap of us at the parkland next to our favourite calm water spot - Currumbin Alley !


Hope you’ve found my tips helpful, what are you waiting for - book your next beach holiday already!

My 2022 in Review

I feel like this year has flown by, but after reminiscing, I’ve realised that I have done so much and have had many incredible experiences! So here is my 2022 in review! Enjoy! Trips Away I went to Caloundra and Mooloolaba earlier this year for trips away. I spent my days checking out beaches, relaxing, eating delicious food and watching sunsets with good company <3 Blue Hair I dyed my hair for the first time last New Year’s Eve! I’ve kept the tips of my hair blue all year round, just by refreshing the colour every couple of months. I’ve really loved having my hair blue! I think it represents me and my personality perfectly. Hikes and walks I’ve always loved nature and walks, and this year I have continued this passion by trying different trails! I’ve explored Karawatha Park Nature Reserve, Daisy Hill Conservation Park, and Enoggera Reserve, just to name a few! Days at Redcliffe Redcliffe has been such an amazing place to visit on days out! Walking along the pier, gettin...

The Power of Humour

  I believe that humour is a necessary part of my life that I use daily. I respond to humour with laughter, as many of us do. One of the reasons people enjoy humour so much is that it is a wonderful source of entertainment and brings happiness to your life. By using humour, I can be better prepared for when things go wrong. For example, if I am feeling down, I can laugh with my friends, I know that always cheers me up. I recently read an article titled “ Humour, laughter, learning and health! ”. For me, the most exciting part of the article was the interesting points made about trying out humour in the classroom. Research about the uses of humour: This research has led me to believe that humour can be used in many different ways. Without humour the world would be a sad place. One of the most powerful aspects of humour is the way in which it causes people to react. I think that the way we as humans respond to humour unites us. What I mean by this is that we all enjoy...

Relaxing with Reiki

  Relaxing with Reiki Background info Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that transfers energy through the hands of a practitioner to provide healing. It uses energy exchange during the process and promotes stress reduction as it encourages relaxation. In reiki the person receiving the treatment lays on a bed and the healer places their hands on the receiver to their affected areas. Research suggests that reiki treatments are linked with improvements in depression and anxiety. Research has also shown that Reiki can be helpful for improving mood and relieving stress through lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and increasing immune strength. Reiki reduces stress by incorporating music, drums, breathing and training the mind to bring awareness to the body’s wellness. This shifts the body from a fight or flight (stress) response into a more relaxed state. Reiki involves the use of vibrations through the music and drums. Given there is scientific evidence behind the use ...
