Kalyra and Savannah celebrated their birthdays together at the Chipmunks indoor play centre. It was great to see Kalyra running around with her friends and Savannah entertained every one with the devouring of her cake and her displays of fear at her new toy cat. I love these two girls so much!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This was the first week of Craig and I working our business full-time together.<\/strong><\/a> I loved the freedom of it. We were able to switch our Monday and Tuesday work days around so we could spend Monday with Kalyra for her birthday. On Tuesday we went into the city for some really productive meetings. On Wednesday we could both take Kalyra in for her first day of Kindy prep class and on Friday we worked really hard in the morning at our favourite coffee shop so we could take the girls for a long walk and a play in the park in the afternoon.<\/p>\n I love the freedom that comes with playing by your own rules.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I only recently heard of the benefits of Moroccan oil for hair fro the lovely Hair Romance<\/strong><\/a>. I jumped at the chance to try Seven Wonders’ Moroccan Argan Oil serum for my face.<\/p>\n I LOVE it! To be honest, I don\u2019t know much at all about beauty products and what they are supposed to do. All I know is this stuff makes my skin feel great!! I swear I am looking younger LOL<\/p>\n My skin feels really hydrated, which is tough to do during the cold winter months. It is soft and smooth to touch. I\u2019m addicted to it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On Tuesday we visited the Covermore insurance office to judge their recent photo competition. It was incredibly hard and we felt the pressure. The photos were of amazing National Geographic quality.<\/p>\n The theme was based on the essence of travel and I think we chose the winner that really encapsulated that in a frame. I felt so grateful to be in the position to gift someone the winning $2 000 prize. Such an amazing feeling. I hope they enjoy their travels with it!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n After having several people recommend this book to me I decided to buy it at Sydney airport for some plane trip reading to Malaysia. It ended up being a slower read than I thought because the book is split up into 28 day action steps. I am loving doing a new one each day and bringing more and more gratitude into my life. It really is the most powerful ingredient for making magic happen in your life<\/p>\n It was so great to travel for a month. Like really so great.<\/p>\n There\u2019s really nothing else on earth I\u2019d rather spend my days doing. There is too much to write about it here in this space. I\u2019ll have a few posts coming out on Mojito Mother, but mostly you can follow the links to read about our NSW Legendary Pacific Coast Drive<\/strong><\/a> trip, our Queensland part, our 7 day Princess Dawn cruise<\/strong><\/a> and my five-day trip to discover Malaysia<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nSeven Wonders Moroccan Argan Oil skin serum<\/h2>\n
