    The Rocks Lantern Ghost Tour, Sydney

    October 30, 2020 /

    It’s time to get spooky. Halloween is finally here, so to celebrate the scariest month of the year, we went on two ghost tours. Last weekend we went on a ghost tour of The Rocks in Sydney and this weekend, on all Hallow’s Eve we will taking a ghost tour of the old Parramatta Goal in Sydney’s west. The scene was set for the Lantern Ghost Tour of The Rocks, as the weather had turned terrible. Thunder and lightening and a hell of a lotta rain. But I absolutely loved it. And the weather man is predicting this weather will stay all week, right up until past Halloween. Nothing is…

    December 22, 2019 /

    If you’re looking for the best streets in Sydney to explore Christmas lights on houses, I have found you the best streets.

    Exploring the Historic Helensburgh Train Tunnel

    September 15, 2019 /

    We went ghost hunting at the historic Helensburgh train tunnel south of Sydney. Located about an hour south of Sydney, on the way to Wollongong, is an Aussie historic town nestled in the thick coastal bushland of the southern coastland New South Wales. Originally called Camp Creek, it was established as a workers camp in the 1880s to accommodate coal miners, who worked in the coal mine in the area. Although not confirmed, the naming of Helensburgh is likely related to Scottish immigration, where they named it after a town located by The Clyde river in Scotland which is also named Helensburgh. But it’s the old Helensburgh railway station which…

    Heart and Soul in Cronulla, My Latest Obsession

    June 26, 2019 /

    I’m seriously crushing over Heart and Soul cafe in Cronulla right now, and let me tell you why. Of course, I know I’ve blogged multiple times about my favourite cafes around Sydney and they do often change from season to season, depending on the menu. And, I’m pretty sure I’ve blogged about Heart and Soul a variety of times, or maybe just once. So, I wanted to share some insight into this little casual cafe set up on a side street away from the crowds in Cronulla. Firstly, as simple as this cafe looks on the outside, on the inside there is a borage of different smells and sounds resulting…

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.
