/ EDITORS LETTER

Dear Mikey,

please forgive me, for I have shopped again... Boy have we missed you. I am so sorry for the time it has taken to get our latest issue out. To cut a long story short, we moved to a farm that is only 30 minutes form the Gold Coast & 20 minutes from Byron Bay, but do you think we could get an internet service that worked? Nope, we do have the internet, but it is so slow most days. We are still working on it and fingers crossed our problems will be solved. Back to shopping, in this issue we have discovered 2 amazing Australian labels that we just love. I have been trialling Maui on hemp oil and the results are mind blowing. We’ve put together a top 10 gift guide for men and for the past couple of months I’ve been trying to eliminate as much plastic as I can from the home, and I’ve shared the products that I’ve purchased. For those lucky enough to have received the $1080 tax refund we spoke to Liz Russell, senior tax manager at Etax for the top 5 girls’ weekend away. So good to be back Happy Shopping

ATIRON I have a crush and it’s with Flatiron. When I was sent an invitation to view their collection, I must admit I hadn’t heard of them. I jumped online to view their collection and it was love at first sight. How had I not heard of them? Classic, sophisticated, beautiful pieces and the quality is brilliant. So many items I wanted to add to cart. A couple of stand-outs for me was the dinner party skirt, the Inka coat and wool trousers. What I love the most is their fashion values and they don’t manufacture massive units. They keep the runs small and multi-seasonal. This is Flatiron’s story FLATIRON started from one summer dress Sam designed for her own wardrobe. ”I walked into a boutique wearing this piece one day and the owner asked to see the rest of the range.”

Six years on the range still demands this attention due to the girls staying true to their personal style. This is something the sisters know that their loyal clientele has now grown to trust. “Each piece must work with the others – from seasons past also – so that the brand continues to evolve as an essential, one-stop answer for any modern, contemporary woman.” “At the core of our brand is our service,” Sam adds. We don’t want you to buy off the rack. We strive to show you how each style can be worn when it gets home so you can treasure it, wear it with several combinations and enjoy it for years to come”, says Sam. FLATIRON is an ethically and locally made label. The girls are conscious of maintaining its exclusivity, so rather than manufacturing massive units of each style four times a year, they keep runs small and multi-seasonal anchored with twice yearly signature seasonal ranges. Style takes time and consideration, which is what the girls throw at the label with abundance. “We don’t do fast fashion, or disposable pieces” Sam insists. FLATIRON is built on quality, versatility and timelessness, Penny adds. “In an industry full of white noise and fast fashion, FLATIRON provides timeless luxury and quality.”

ABEL LOVE ABEL LOVE Already running a successful interior styling business with Penny, the creatives decided to collaborate on a few more pieces they would love to personally own and showcased them in salon-style sessions to peers and friends. “The reaction could not be ignored, and we knew we had hit a hole in the market,” Penny adds.

#SC LOVES VIDA G EVERY SINGLE DAY If you have been following me on Instagram for a while you would know that I am a big fan of Marine Collagen. I was a bit skeptical at first, it wasn’t until Vida Glow kindly sent me a package to try. I had nothing to lose so I gave it a go. For the first week I was taking 3 times a day to give myself a boost then once a day every single day. I thought nothing of it until a couple of weeks later I started getting a lot of compliments on my skin and I was filming a lot and the hair and makeup artists were saying how healthy and shiny my hair was, then I realised it must be the Marine collagen. Another week went by and my nails were longer and stronger. I have never had long nails, they always split and were never strong. I’m now filing my nails 3 times a week and stocked up on nail polish. My month supply ran out and I had to order more of this powder called marine collagen and while I was at it, I added the beauty greens to my cart too.

Over 12 months later I am still taking both the Marine Collagen and the Beauty Greens and to top it off Vida Glow asked me to be one of their Ambassadors which was a no brainer cause I’ve been buying it ever since the first delivery I received.

THIS IS HOW I TAKE MY VIDA GLOW AM: In a glass of water, I add 1-2 scoops of the beauty greens and 1 scoop of the unflavored marine collagen. PM: In a glass of water, I like to add a scoop of the flavoured marine collagen. If I had to pick a fave it would be the blueberry or their new flavor Cranberry & Lime. You don’t have to have with water, you could add to your yogurt, juice, smoothie, however you like. Vida Glow have a skincare range too and there are a couple of products in particular I love which I’ll share with you in the next issue of our mag. Get your glow on www.vidaglow.com

Ok foodies, boy have I got an appliance for you. What if I told you that there was one appliance for the kitchen that was a pressure cooker, a slow cooker, air fryer, a mini oven, a stove stop and a steamer. That you could pressure cook a whole chook which keeps it juicy and moist then with crisp it up just by swapping the lid and what if I told you that you could cook spaghetti bolognese in one pot including adding pasta straight from the pack in around 10 minutes. You would think I was full of it. Well I’m not full of it, it’s true. This appliance is called the Ninja Foodi and it does everything I just mentioned and more. I’ve baked cakes in my foodi, I’ve cooked the most delicious pork belly, steaks from frozen and quick healthy meals including rice, greens and salmon all at the same time in the one pot in 8 minutes. The foodi replaces so many appliances, it frees up cupboard space. We have just moved to a new house and I gave my steamer, slow cooker, deep fryer, air crisper and pressure cooker to my brother, why keep them when my foodi does it all. This is by far the best kitchen appliance this gadget girl has ever used. RRP is only $399.99 Just for our shopping tribe use code word: KATHYFOODI you’ll get 20% off. www.ninjakitchen.com.au

TRIED & TESTED

TOP 5 GIRLS WEEKEND Since most Australians who earn a low to middle income would've qualified for a tax refund of around $1080 this year, what better way to spend it than on a weekend away with the girls? Below, Liz Russell (senior tax manager) at Australia's largest online tax accountant company Etax has provided her roundup of the top 5 Aussie getaways to go on with the girls for under $1080. Between work, family, parenting, significant other and life admin obligations, the fast pace of everyday life can get the better of us. While spending time with family is great, and romantic trips are always something to look forward to, there needs to come a time where a getaway with the girls is a non-negotiable. Most Australians earning a low to middle income this year would’ve been able to take advantage of the new government tax offset of up to $1080. Commonly this gets put towards paying off debts or into savings. And, while those are very responsible ways to use your refund, you should always make room for a bit of fun.

Here are my top 5 girls’ weekends away for less than $1080 - so you can put a little bit of your refund towards some much-needed quality time with your girlfriends.

TAX REF TAX REF 16

#1 TREAT YOURSELVES TO A RELAXING SPA WEEKEND AT ELEMENTS BYRON BAY For just $525.00 per night, you and 3 girlfriends can enjoy a two-bedroom villa at Elements. The rooms are equipped with a kitchen and all the other essentials you might need for a self-catered Byron getaway, so you spend less money on dining out or ordering in and have more reserved for a spa treatment (or three!). An added bonus is that not everything in Byron Bay requires you to splash the cash. Round up the girls and head out for a walk to the Byron Bay Lighthouse to check out the view for free, hit the beach, find a rainforest, waterfalls or even visit the Byron Bay markets for some fresh produce and bargain goods. #2 FIND YOUR HAPPINESS IN THE HUNTER VALLEY A weekend filled with wineries and brunches need not be bank-breaking. Most full day wine tours come out at approximately $130, and if you split accommodation between yourself and 3 of your friends at a nice Airbnb, you’re only looking at around $400 per person for a weekend in the Hunter. While a brunch at popular local hotspot Love Kitchen is necessary to tie the trip together, feel free to spend a few extra dollars on some great wines, cheeses or chocolates to take home with you.

/ TRAVEL

TRIPS UNDER $1080 #3 NOT KEEN ON STRAYING TOO FAR FROM SYDNEY? STAY PERCHED AT PALM BEACH Located just shy of an hour from the Sydney CBD, Palm Beach is an ocean oasis like no other. The best thing about it is, if you’re a Sydney local, you don’t need to spend extra cash on flights or travel - just get the girls in the car and you’re on your way. It’s not difficult to find an Airbnb for two nights for less than $600, so you’ve definitely got some leftover cash for dinner at favored local Alma and lunch at popular Barrenjoey House.

FUND FUND #4 VENTURE TO THE SUNSHINE STATE FOR GORGEOUS NOOSA For unparalleled beach views and the freshest local produce Queensland has to offer, Noosa is a world-famous destination known for its expansive beaches and colourful bays. With beaches, restaurants and bars all in play, it makes for the ideal girls’ getaway. Hotel or Airbnb stays come in at around $300 per night, and when you factor in flights (direct to Sunshine Coast airport), you’ll still have a bit of money left over to play with. There are plenty of things to do in Noosa that won’t hurt your side pocket too. Lace up your sneakers and explore the beautiful Noosa National Park to take in the most incredible natural scenery in South East Queensland. Another cheap fitness activity is to rent a paddle boat at the Noosa Everglades and explore 60km of reflective, pristine water. These everglades are one of only two in the world!

By Liz Russell, senior tax manager at Etax #5 IMMERSE YOURSELF IN WORLD-CLASS DINING AND SHOPPING IN MELBOURNE Melbourne is and always has been a top choice for a girls’ weekend away - thanks to its dining and shopping options like no other state. While this destination has always been known for its coffee and food, you get the most out of it if you’re up for a night out on the town too. Accommodation is reasonable - you’d find something good for around $200 per night (in popular South Yarra). That leaves you plenty of cash for a visit to Abacus (an iconic brunch spot), dinner at Smith & Daughters (100% plant-based Italian restaurant run by celebrity chef Shannon Martinez) and a night out in Fitzroy (to hit nightclubs like Glamorama and The Night Cat).

KIDS NERF BRINGS THE FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE TO REAL LIFE WITH NEW BLASTER RANGE When the hottest online game meets the world’s no. 1 Blaster brand, action goes into overdrive For the very first time, Australians can get their hands on the highly anticipated NERF Fortnite Blasters in an exciting new product release coinciding with the 50th Anniversary of beloved NERF.

S: NERF FORTNITE

POOCH REPORT As you all know we have made the big move to the Northern Rivers, Mum and Dad bought a farm, it’s a small farm but feels like a big dog park to me. It’s heaven, it’s all flat with no stairs. Our old house had the steepest driveway ever and 54,000 stairs, not good for my arthritis. Speaking of my arthritis, Mum has started giving hemp seed oil. Mum saw it on the counter of our general store, did a bit of research and bought a bottle for me to try. Food Grade Hemp Seed Oil is for humans and animals and the research mum did said it has a soothing effect on skin, hair, eyes, stomach, bowel, joint and muscle issues as well as menopause and hormonal balance issues (I think Mum will need this soon). I’m nearly 11 and my arthritis has been giving me a bit of grief especially in these colder months. Mum gives me 2 teaspoons a day; 1 in the morning with my breakfast and 1 with my dinner. Just after 2 weeks Mum could see I was sitting better, able to jump on the lounge without putting up one leg at a time and I heard her say to dad that I’m almost running like a pup again, which I ma but for much shorter periods of time, I am 11 that’s 77 in human years. It’s been 2 months and I’m still taking it everyday and Mum has started taking it too for all her aches and pains. A couple of Mum’s friends have been giving to their pets and loving the results too. There are a few types of Hemp seed oils on the market, but Aussie Legends does seem to be the best on the market. Aussie Legends Hemp Seed Oil has been grown in Manitoba Canada, however bottled, labelled, finished & distributed in Australia. Aussie Legends Hemp Seed Oil is ORGANIC, COLD PRESSED, RAW, THC FREE, GMO FREE and VEGAN friendly. Their Hemp Seed Oil has been grown with NO: Herbicides, Pesticides, or Agricultural Chemicals.

They believe their hemp seed oil is one of the best, if not the best in the world and here’s why: The particular strain of cannabis sativa plant they use can only be grown in an ideal colder climate which produces extra amino acids & fatty acids (Like cold water fish such as Salmon). Also, their hemp seed oil has less than 5% seed husk, whereas many other oils worldwide have up to 50% seed husk. Their hemp seed oil is extra virgin and cold pressed, so they have no need for the use of Hexane as a solvent to extract the oil. Hexane is a chemical commonly extracted from petroleum and crude oil and can cause a variety of concerning issues. Some other Hemp Seed Oil brands on the market are using Hexane so beware: “Oil’s Ain’t Oil’s My Friend.” Finally, the complete growing, production & supply chain involves no Major Corporations. Only Australian & Canadian family businesses, companies or trusts. The dark colour of Aussie Legends Hemp Seed Oil attests to the cold-pressing process and the absence of Hexane or chemical solvents. Cold-pressed from a proprietary variety of THC-free hemp seeds. THC-free means you won’t get high and you won’t get into trouble driving your car or have any problem passing a drug test.

HOW TO: REDUCE WHAT I’VE BOUGHT TO REDUCE PLASTIC I’ve been making a big effort in trying to eliminate as much plastic as I can from everyday use. Over a period of a couple of months I have replaced everything from glad wrap to pegs to food storage containers. It is a costly exercise replacing plastic, bit by bit it can be done and in the long run will save you money and the environment Here are some of the things I have bought so far. A long way to go but every step counts.

FARMERS MARKET SHOPPING BUNDLE $99 www.seedandsprout.com.au

FRANK GREEN COFFEE CUP FROM $39.95 www.frankgreen.com.au I struggled finding the right coffee cup. Most of them have thick silicon lids and I don’t like drinking out of them. The best one I have found is from Frank Green

LARGE GLASS FOOD CONTAINER WITH BAMBOO LID $8.49 www.ikea.com.au Problem solved, thanks to our shopping tribe on Instagram I was told Ikea have the larger storage containers. I ordered 3. It’s a great size and value for money.

Everything I need to do my grocery shopping. INCLUDES: • 2 x Pocket Totes: Large, canvas and super sturdy reusable market bags with six large interior pockets for keeping organised. • 2 x Mixed Mesh Totes: Handy “go-everywhere” string bags with canvas bottoms to stop things falling out. • 5 x assorted size Mesh Produce Bags: Shop loose fruit and vege like onions and tomatoes. • 5 x assorted size Bulk Food Bags: The fine mesh keeps bread fresh; also perfect for finer items like when you buy bulk flours, lentils and nuts.

RE-USABLE FOOD FRESH LIDS $19.95 www.littlemashies.com.au I’ve been using these food lids for ages. I love them for lemons, limes, tomatoes and especially onions.

/ SHOP

E PLASTIC

CHEEKI STAINLESS STEEL INSULATED TUMBLER $32.95 www.cheeki.net.au Love my Cheeki tumbler, I bought one for myself and Mike. Great for on the go. I make either my juice or smoothie and it stays cold and fits into my drink cup holder in my car perfectly.

RE-USEABLE CLEAR FOOD WRAP SET $27 www.seedandsprout.com.au Being honest; I like these I don’t love them. I find it hard to get them to stick to all sides of the bowl or plate. Maybe it’s me and there is an art to it. If there is, I haven’t mastered it yet, but I’m not giving up. Stretch 'em over your bowls, your dishes, mugs or jugs and they'll seal or use them in the oven instead of baking paper.

ROUND SILICONE FOOD WRAPS 6 PACK $22.95 (ON SALE) www.activatedeco.com I like these much better than the food wraps. They are super stretchy meaning you can use them on almost any size containers. They will create an airtight and water-tight seal, even better than regular plastic wrap! You can even use them directly on fruit and vegetables to keep them fresher for longer. Big thumbs up from me.

HEALTHISH WATER BOTTLE $32.99 (ON SALE) www.healthish.com No more buying bottles of water. What I love about this water is it keeps me on track with how much water I’m drinking with water time indicators and measurements marked on the bottle (two sided: morning-afternoon, afternoon-evening).

HOW TO: REDUCE PLASTIC

ULTIMATE PANTRY BUNDLE $189 www.seedandsprout.com.au

SILICON FOOD POUCHES FROM $19 www.seedandsprout.com.au

Replacing all my plastic containers is going to be a costly exercise but worth it in the long run. This is a great pack to get you started. My only criticism is that with the rectangle containers the bamboo lid cuts into a fair amount of storage space, it does drive me a bit bonkers.

Another great way to store food. These reusable silicone food pouches take fresh or frozen fruit, chopped salad ingredients, chopped veg, meat, leftovers (liquid or solid) - and keep them crunchy and/or fresh for days. Just slide the bar to lock the contents inside.

TWIN PACK STAINLESS STEEL CLOTHES PEGS 40 REGULAR & 10 LARGE $65.95 (ON SALE) www.activatedeco.com It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until I was hanging the washing and a plastic peg broke that I realised how often this happens. So, I was on the hunt for an alternative and found these. Trust me these will last for so long.
