"Life is funny. You start out with limitless poten

"Life is funny. You start out with limitless potential, but time is always shaving away the possibilities.
Every choice you make is the choice not to do a thousand other things. What's important, when all is said and done, is that you made a difference. Your choices, and everything undone, have to mean something.”
~ Unknown

“I didn’t do it!” Oscar thinks as he defiantly looks away, with his face of innocence.
.▬▬▬.
Everything we either do, or don’t do, defines our future. It moulds us, shapes us, and opens & closes doors. .▬▬▬.
Let’s teach the kids of this world to make wise choices, because these choices shape the path we make for the road ahead and our final destination.
.▬▬▬.
We love Oscar! Adding him into our family definitely is one of our better decisions.
.▬▬▬.
How’s your week shaping up?

Our goal for February is to be ‘feeling fit, fabulous, and to be having fun!’
.▬▬▬.
Just a reminder to keep up the fitness in February. It’s been a bit tricky here because we’ve had so much ☔️ rain.
But come rain or shine, my son has been doing his laps in the pool.
.▬▬▬.
We are also focusing on our internal health with Medlab nutritional supplements.
And even if we have the odd treat on the weekend that’s OK.
It’s back to Monday with loads of fresh fruits apple 🍎 🍉 🍏 🍌 and vegetables 🌽🥕 🌶 .
Remember - at least 3 colours in your dinner plate, and 5 servings of vegetables & 3 servings of fruit every day.
.▬▬▬. How are you keeping healthy & fit?

“To eat well, I always disagree with critics who say that all restaurants should be fine dining. You can get a Michelin star if you serve the best hamburger in the world.”
~ David Chang
▬▬▬
It’s great when food isn’t taken too seriously. We discovered a new dining experience on Saturday night and had a great night!
▬▬▬
Originally from the Philippines, these two ex-airline staff now cook up the tastiest Buffalo Wings and Hamburgers on the Gold Coast.
Flavours from many countries in the world grace their menu. There’s even vegetarian burgers 🍔 too!
▬▬▬
We love having family nights out where we can talk about our week, have some fun and I can relax with a red 🍷or white 🍸wine.
And because the light rail is nearby there’s no bother in me needing to find a park.
▬▬▬
What’s your favourite burger? Chicken, beef or vegetarian ... or would you try the crazy Cychoburger???

Let me introduce you to one of my favourite interior design stores here in the Gold Coast.
▬▬▬
Whether you love The Bahamas or The Hamptons, their stunning style is sure to allure you.
▬▬▬
After an hour here I came home and spent 2 hours styling our apartment. I love the nautical and Hamptons style.
▬▬▬
What’s your favourite interior design style. I’d love to know.

“Happiness is a warm puppy.” ~ Charles Shultz
.▬▬▬.
It’s been a tough week for me in so many ways, but the love of a puppy sure helps me get through and he brings us so much happiness.
.▬▬▬.
Oscar (AKA Exploradog) has been feeling very housebound with all the rain ☔️ we’ve been having so I took him out for a walk/run yesterday anyway.
He came back a muddy mess, but a warm bath fixed that.
.▬▬▬.
I wish we could just wash our problems away just as easy as this! I’d definitely pour them all down the drain.
.▬▬▬.
But Sunday is here and the start to a new week.
I’m hoping and praying I resolve some problems from last week without too much expense and it’s a great week.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Chop Chop celebrations for Chinese New Year and their first Birthday were loads of family fun.
▬▬▬
If you are heading into Surfers Paradise, wander through the colourful food hall, enjoy the mixed aromas of freshly cooked foods, and be wowed with all the colours of this delightful fusion of nations under one roof.

“Enjoy yourself.
It's later than you think."
~Chinese proverb
▬▬▬
CHOP CHOP turns one, and we were there to help celebrate this amazing food hall’s 1st birthday celebration.
▬▬▬
It was a difficult decision as there were so many restaurants, bars and eateries to choose from.
But every kid, big or small loves a sushi train, so we headed in for Japanese.
▬▬▬
Sitting around the conveyor belt as all the delicious plates pass us by also meant that we were about to watch as dishes were prepared.
▬▬▬
It was lots of fun, immaculately clean, and the food was fresh and tasty.
And the best part was that we enjoyed quality family time together as a Mum and son.
▬▬▬
What’s your favourite Japanese food?

Our goal for February is to be ‘feeling fit, fabulous, and to be having fun!’
.▬▬▬.
Christmas dinners, school holidays vacations, New Year celebrations, catching up with friends, plus birthday drinks🥤 🍸have been back-to-back events of over-indulgence for us.
.▬▬▬.
Now it’s time to settle back into a healthy routine and to get back to feeling our very best.
.▬▬▬.
So, my son is heading to the gym; we are both taking walks on the beach 🏖; walking Oscar 🐕 along the river; swimming laps in the pool 🏊‍♂️ ; eating loads of fruit 🍇 🍈 🍉 & veggies 🥕 🌶 🌽 ; and having daily doses of Medlab (clinical premium innovative supplements, probiotics, rehydration and metabolic stabilisers).
Plus, we’re having our meals sitting and enjoying our tropical surroundings and away from technology.
.▬▬▬.
We are determined that by the end of February we are going to feel better than ever!
.▬▬▬.
Why not join us this February on our health and wellness journey.
You can start today - go on!
You can do this too.
You deserve the best you!

"When you’re hot, you’re hot”
~Unknown
.▬▬▬.
It’s been an extremely humid week, and Oscar can be found at nearly any time of day in his fur coat lounging around on the tiled bathroom floors.
Because, when you’re hot, you’re hot!
.▬▬▬.
After finishing all his immunisations Oscar (AKA Exploradog) has the vets all-clear to explore our local area.
.▬▬▬.
He’s a bit like a furry ping-pong ball on a lead when he has his walks, bouncing all over the place!
.▬▬▬.
Is the weather hot where you are?
