Snow bunnies unite

Just found out were going on a short trip to the snow before the snow melts away for another year. Perisher and Thredbo in 8 sleeps with the work crew :)

Time to dig out the winter woolies for one last time this winter...well now spring...

Im in need of an adventure

Woke up this morning feeling very much like most other mornings, with a large urge to board a plane to some obscure destination. I need a bit of a thrill, need to look forward to some amazing journey. I want to go to Alaska, I want to see something different like the glaciers, a polar bear, the view from the top of the great wall of China....

But for now its back to planning other peoples adventures and baking cupcake treats for the ones I love most :)

Something beautiful to brighten any monday :)

Coolest places to don the swimmers

The Dead Sea

(bordering Jordan to the east, and Israel and the West Bank to the west)

The Dead Sea is the lowest land point on the centre of the earth and comprises of around 300grams of salt per kilogram of water, around 10 times more than the ocean. The result? A complete feeling of buoyancy enough to support your full weight :)

Devils Pools - Victoria Falls Zambia

This is where nature has created its own infinity pool. Perfectly safe to swim in the dry season and 420 feet above the river below you can relax next to one of the worlds largest waterfalls.

Dean's Blue Hole

Dean's Blue Hole is the underwater sinkhole located in a bay west of Clarence Town on LongIsland, Bahamas. Measuring at 202 metres, it is roughly circular and has a distinctive and dramatic contrast of the dark blue deep waters of its depths and the lighter blue of the shallows around it.

Mila's Daydreams, a mother's interpretation of her baby's dreams.

A very creative advertising copywriter mother had the genius idea of creating 'dream pictures' around her angelic sleeping baby. With a wondrous mind she created dream like scenes around little Mila and began a blog. Here are some of 'Mila's daydreams.'

A bedroom only a princess could dream of!

I recently stumbled across this article with the help of a good friend and instantly fell in love with the family's beautiful Balinese home. Its truly something out of a fairy tale. The girls spend their days rowing wooden canoes in the moat around their open air multi level thatched home adorned with trinkets from around the globe. The bedroom is something out of a story book with a round bed and beautifully coloured mosquito nets and a hanging bees wax cage chair that smells like honey that her dad designed.

My first thought when I stumbled across this bedroom was that even tinker bell would be jealous. Having spent a lot of my childhood years growing up at my mums shop the "Fairies Cottage" I couldn't even imagine having a bedroom as magical as the one below. A little girls dream.

Where would you hang yours?

Eagles Nest Outfitters once ran a competition where they asked you to send in a photo of the places you had hung your hammock. So while exploring Vanuatu I found sound perfect hammock spots too and will definitely update whenever I find more,

Thats so Vanuatu...

Back from the trip with a nice summer glow and way too many cocktails later. Vanuatu is defiantly a step behind other pacific islands in a nice 'how fiji was 40 years ago' type of way and definitely a beautiful place for Scuba divers, family's and honeymooners too. Having explored most of the resorts in and around Port Villa, holding sea turtles, snorkelling coral reef's and swimming under the Mele Cascades it was a whirlwind trip with my favourite photos below :)

How does one get ready for a tropical island in winter?

Two more sleeps and i'm ready to ditch the winter woolies and begin my first Famil to Vanuatu. Warmer weather and sunshine awaits as we kick off the winter boots and don the bikinis.... A whirlwind tour of hotels, sunsets, food, cocktails and island cruising for 4 days in the pacific paradise.
