Yesterday I had the chance to try something new - diving into the world of candle making at Genki Arts & Crafts hosted by Wick and Sip ! The room was filled with the soft scent of melted wax and essential oils, and I quickly discovered that creating a candle is just as calming as lighting one. From choosing fragrances to pouring the wax into the glass, the whole experience felt creative and relaxing - and I left with not only a few handmade candles, but also a new appreciati

Matsuri Brisbane is a wonderful free festival full of culture and entertainment! Lots of great markets to browse full of Japanese crafts, clothing, food and travel information. You can also book and pay to do some workshops and classes on the day which looked fun. We went nice and early, thankfully, as it was so busy when we left. We loved the Taiko drummers performance. We have seen them before at the Sake Festival and had to see them again. The sound is amazing and feels go

For something fun on my birthday weekend, we went golfing at Golfers Paradise Club ! Unfortunately they don't accept companion cards, so I just paid for my support worker to play too (or they can watch, of course!). I hired the GTS booth designed for two to three players, which was fantastic. They also have cool rooms for parties, which is awesome.

A budget-friendly art day with so much choice in creativity, count me in! We visited the Plaster Fun House and had so much fun. The hardest part was choosing what to paint. There were holiday themes, cute movie characters, and even super nerdy options—I loved that! There were so many Star Wars choices, too. You can browse some of the awesome pieces on offer here . It might make it a bit easier for you when you get there. All you have to do is book online your painting sess

We visited the Fo Guang Shan Chung Tian Temple for our very first time and what a beautiful and serene place. It felt so calming and an honour to even be there. The temple, gardens and statues spread throughout made you feel like you were in another time and place. There is quite a lot to see and do, with free activities and entertainment, classes or even a tea meditation you can pay to attend. We did a little calligraphy and played a new Buddhist card game with one of the d

I decided we just had to go and take a day trip to check out the Kalbar Sunflower Festival last weekend. With some planning, I was ready to embark on a bigger adventure than our usual close attractions. Wow! What a beautiful day we had! Despite the long drive, it was incredibly worth it. Anticipation and Arrival As soon as we spotted the sunflowers from a distance, I was so excited! Wow! The Beauty of Sunflowers My highlights of the day included the stunning beauty of the su
