Locals in Business and Life

BAKSLAP

Sunshine Coast local Raphael McGowan is a keen surfer and lover of the great outdoors. It was the tragic loss of his sister Tess to melanoma skin cancer that inspired him to create Bakslap. The lotion applicator solves the problem for individuals trying to apply any lotion to hard-to-reach places like the middle of the back, legs and feet. Originally developed to offer protection and awareness when enjoying the sunshine, they quickly discovered from customers just how versatile Bakslap is. e

www.bakslap.com.au Green Earth Homes are second to none when it comes to designing and building your dream home. Sloping blocks and acreage require specialist skills and experience. Understanding how a home sits on each unique site is vital to the overall result of the build. If the design is not right for the site, then the home will never be enjoyable to live in, nor will it maximise the natural environment whether this be the view, the breezes or the sunlight. e

IT’S TIME FOR US ALL TO GET BACK TO NATURE.

Returning to what is genuinely natural as opposed to those ‘food-like’ substances that modern marketing tricks us into thinking is natural. Modern society has certainly given us a lot of comforts, however it has also deceived us with misinformation funded by the marketing budgets of the biggest processed food manufacturers in the world. e
