    Lest We Forget: Remembering Those Who Have Fallen

    April 25, 2021 /

    Sparing a thought for those who lost their lives in the war. Lest We Forget. Seeing as it’s that time of year, I thought I’d reflect back when I travelled through Egypt, gosh, nearly seven years now; and my dad and I spent some time wandering the very beautiful and very peaceful ANZAC memorial at Al Alamein in North Egypt. Lest We Forget. It was such a spectacular experience, to sit and reflect on a time of terrible anguish and pain, which is completely unimaginable for most of us in the 21st Century. The memorial itself sits along the Mediterranean Sea around and hour and a half east of Alexandria,…

    5 Egyptian Travel Secrets

    January 19, 2020 /

    Yes, Egypt is safe to travel to. Here are five of my secret travel tips if and when you decide to go. Egypt as a travel destination, probably isn’t on most people’s radars at the moment. Particularly with all the problems occurring throughout the Middle East. But, if you travel smart and keep to the guidelines of what you should and shouldn’t do, places you can go and shouldn’t go, it really is the most rewarding holiday destination and the people, they truly are amazing. I spent an amazing nineteen days in Egypt, and although I was travelling through the exotic landscape of ancient wonders a year before much of…

St Pat cupcakes… the clover looks more like club St Pat cupcakes… the clover looks more like clubs from playing cards… but they still tasted great nonetheless.

I did shortcut these cupcakes with a packet recipe and ready made icing, as I was in a tad of a hurry to get these done before heading off to catch up with family. 

Either way - delicious they were.

I hope you all had a fab weekend 🍀

It’s been a while since I shared a beauty post. It’s been a while since I shared a beauty post. 

So, I thought I would share with you, why skincare is so important, and what skincare products I am loving right now.

Summer is nearly over in Australia, and it’s been a weird season. From a week of over 30 temps, to a week of under 25 temps, before bouncing back to high 30s, it’s been challenging to both physically and mentally balance between the irrational change.

Phew! It was really hot yesterday. But that didn’t stop us exploring the old heritage village at Fairfield Museum.

Full of historical memorabilia from the area, including a fully stocked old grocery store.

Delicious 2 ingredient cinnamon pretzels…. Recip Delicious 2 ingredient cinnamon pretzels…. Recipe from @thebigmansworld

Ingredients:
1 & 1/3 cups of gluten free flour
3/4 cups of Greek yoghurt
Cinnamon & sugar mixture. 
Some melted butter

Tip: add a tablespoon of baking soda to help make them fluffier as gluten free flour can be really dense once baked. 

Method:
Mix the flour and yoghurt together, and make a nice ball of dough.
Original recipe is cut into 8 pieces, but next time I’ll be cutting into either 4 or 6 to make them bigger. Your call.
Roll into smaller balls and then roll those balls into long desired sausage lengths, depending how thin or big you want your pretzels. 
I made mine a little too thin. Next time I’ll make them thicker and shorter. 
Just keep in mind you want to have them long enough to twist into pretzel shapes.
Coat with some melted butter or oil.
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for at least 20 minutes. Let them sit for 10 minutes before coating with a bit of the melted butter again and dipping into a sugar and cinnamon mixture. 
Enjoy fresh and warm, or wait to cool and eat.
