LIFE STORIES
Peppermint Crescent WHEN YOU HAVE VISITORS, WHERE DO YOU TAKE THEM TO SHOW OFF OUR BEAUTIFUL REGION? Maleny is always high on the list, Peregian Beach, the Mooloolaba beach walk, a hike up Mount Coolum and who could pass up Noosa National Park! WHAT IS IT YOU MISS MOST ABOUT THE SUNSHINE COAST WHEN YOU’RE NOT AT HOME? An early morning walk on the beach to see the sunrise – it never disappoints. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CAFE OR RESTAURANT? I have just discovered Peppermint Crescent on Karawatha Street, Buderim. Such great bao buns! WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MEAL? Anything cooked at Spicers Hidden Vale – their chefs are the best. YOUR FAVOURITE SHOP IN THE REGION? I am a homewares addict so you will find me at Samsara Home in Woombye. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION? My family and an overweight cat called Potato. WHO INSPIRES YOU? People with a faith that is strong enough to move mountains. FAVOURITE BOOK? Penguin Bloom – a good reminder that things change all too easily.

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW? I wish! I am not a big book reader unless I am on holidays.
WHAT DO YOU DO? I am a mum, a wife and a small business owner – gallery curator of Art Nuvo Buderim. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WEREN’T IN YOUR CURRENT CAREER? Anything with awesome customers. I love being helpful. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO GET A COFFEE ON THE COAST? I have a few! I am mostly in Buderim so I highly recommend Fee-ka espresso, Hungry Feel and Buderim Floral Art (my two fav things together: coffee and flowers). 42
