I have no doubt that I am not the only mummy who is struggling keeping my kids entertained during the school holidays. And especially this one, as it is a little longer than the other holidays throughout the year. Naturally, my kids are not used to being entertained, and going to fun places every single day of the week, but when you go from being hyper active all day in kindergarten (or school), with lots of fun things to do and play with and being distracted all the time, then simply being home with mummy day after day after day, I guess, I can understand that it can become a little boring.  Melbourne Big Ticket where you get entry to two attractions, Sea Life Melbourne and Legoland Discovery Centre at a great discounted price… But let’s first have a look at the attractions..

School Holidays… we’ve not come to the stage that there’s just a few weeks left of the school holdiays… a lot of things have already been done, and visited, and the toys given for Xmas, while (hopefully), still being played with, are no longer sufficient to keep the kids entertained all day long. Oh what to do… We’ve visited several different theme parks over the last few weeks, which the kids are sure to love, and which makes for great family trips too… let’s start with Gumbuya World.. Gumbuya World is is a fun and adventure park located just 50 minutes Melbourne, and features not just one, but four different adventure zones; Wildlife Trail  Outback Explorers Oz Adventure  Oasis Springs  The Wildlife Trail is like a mini zoo, yet featuring more than 50 species of animals including reptiles, koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, birds as well as a petting zoo.  My boys really loved the petting zoo, getting up and close with rabbits, and little pigs, and also hand-feeding the kangaroos in the

I am always excited when I come across new brands, and even more so when they are Australian. Today I am talking about  Synergie Skin   which is not just Australian made, the cosmeceutical products are also cruelty free, and made entirely free of ethically questionable ingredients.  I’ve tried a selection of their makeup products, Synergie Minerals, including; Synergie Minerals  BB Flawless Cosmeceutical Foundation  Synergie Minerals  Mineralwhip 4-in-1 Cream Foundation  Synergie Minerals  Hydroblush Synergie Minerals  Luminiser Synergie Minerals  LipGlo Synergie Minerals  Airbrush Foundation Brush  Synergie Minerals  Blusher Brush  Let’s start with the  Synergie Minerals  BB Flawless Cosmeceutical Foundation .

I was recently introduced to  Beautopia Hair & Beauty   which is an Australian company selling a large range of premium hair and beauty products, both online, and through their stores. And I was quite excited when they reached out and offered that I could try some of the products available in their store.  I decided that I would love to try some products from Pixi Beauty - which is one of those beauty brands everyone’s raving about, and for some reason, I’ve only ever tried a few of their products, so I naturally jumped at the opportunity, beyond excited to put some more products to the test.  Pixi Beauty is a UK brand, that was launched over 15 years ago by makeup artist & product developer Petra Strand in the flagship boutique in Soho, London.

I am relatively new to Korean Beauty products, or K-Beauty as they have also been dubbed, but there are so many brands popping up everywhere, and everyone is raving about the products, and the Koreans have been said to be on the forefront with advanced skincare, is no wonder, and thus it is also without a doubt one of my goals for the new year to explore more of these Korean brands. And not long ago I was so fortunate to be offered to try some out thanks to  Style Story   which is an Australian online store, specialising in all things K-Beauty.  I tried the following products; COSRX Cooling Aqua Facial Mist  Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask JJ Young by Caolion Lab Pore Erasing Stick The COSRX Cooling Aqua Facial Mist is a facial mist designed to help freshen up the skin, making if feel cool, while purifying and hydrating it, to keep it soft and smooth.

One of those brands I was introduced to not long ago was Genie Beauty, and I seriously cannot rave enough about their Nutratanicals Antioxidant Foundation (read about it here ), Line Smoothing Concealer (read about it here ), and Make Me Blush (which you can read more about here ).  So I was very excited to put a few more products from Genie Beauty to the test, including; Instant Line Smoother Million Dollar Lash Booster Million Dollar Mascara Superglide Gel Eyeliner Let’s start with the Genie Instant Line Smoother , which is a really unique product that promises to instantly smoothes away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, bags and puffiness.
