My niece Angie's 14th Birthday ❤️




Family get together to celebrate Angie'sBirthday  ❤️



























Happy Birthday Angie! 


Stay good and loving and kind. Don't let the ugliness of the world take you down! 

Be the best YOU that you can be. Always stay true to who you are and what you believe. 

Never alter yourself even when jealousy, ignorance and misunderstanding attempts to paint you differently. 

Only repay with love, kindness, and understanding. Always see the pot of "good" at the end of the rainbow. 

Make wise choices and well thought out decisions. Love everyone, even those who are difficult to love. Never give in. Never give up. Never quit with or without a fight. 

Know when you're wrong and admit it willingly. Don't ever let anger get in the way of love. 

See beyond the surface appearance of those around you:

Their smiles don't always mean happiness. Their anger may mean more than a momentary disappointment, and quite possibly could be the result of a lifetime of repeated disappointment, loneliness, helplessness and exhaustion. 

Learn to recognize the different types of tears and don't miss an opportunity to ask how you can be of help in reaching out and helping others, it brings happiness to ourselves. 

Making others smile, is addicting. Cry often. Let tears flow. Then pick up and move on. Go out and grab life and live it. Be safe. I love you! Always.

Friday Night Out ❤️

The Junk Bar is a little gem that would not feel out of place in a David Lynch dream sequence.


Tucked behind a screen door and plain brown curtain lies a wonderland with quirky decor including deer antlers, forest wallpaper, a very secluded and cosy atmosphere is created through the eclectic couches and dim lamps, while the music stems from vinyls played on an old record player.





Live music after 9pm.


The staff are extremely helpful and just wonderful, quick to welcome you, and to serve up one of the absolutely fabulous cocktails. I also think this may actually be the best espresso martini in Brisbane.



This is a gorgeous little bar well worth a visit for quiet, subdued evenings, not trashy drunken adventures. Love the decor and vibe. 




To a beautiful night out. Thanks guys ❤️

Chocolate heaven ❤️


Bonsai Botanika is an aesthetically pleasing cafe that has opened up on Elizabeth Street (Brisbane city). 



Loved the soft lighting emanating from metallic looking and shiny copper looking domes hanging from the heigh ceilings providing a cosy atmosphere. 



When our order got delivered it was in such a presentable manner. Our organic flowerless chocolate cinnamon cake, included a light custard orange cream; to be poured from a flask. 



The cake was amazing, probably one of the better ones I've had in a long time. Perfect texture and delightful flavour.  The light custard orange cream just added more "wow-factor". Totally impressed ❤️
