No Coffee Snobs Allowed, Just Give Me My Bloomin’ XX ‘HOT’ Latte…

On our trip to Melbourne recently which we absolutely loved, there were a few things that really bothered me about this coffee ‘snob’ culture in Melbourne that we had heard so much about and I would love to talk about it.   There were two more things that made my eyebrows lift with slight shock and they were the amount of homeless people on the streets of Melbourne and the absolutely huge amount of people who were smoking! I will discuss the latter two in another blog  as ‘coffee talk’ can go on forever….lol

Ever Thought About Building A Home Out Of Shipping Containers?

Rick and I have thought for a long time now that if we decided on some beautiful acres somewhere out bush with rolling hills, where all you could see would be the cows, horses and wildlife roaming free and how wonderful would that be  to design your own home out of shipping containers.  These are blank canvases for you and your imagination, how amazing these could look if we sat down and thought about it.  But not only that, how much cheaper the whole process would be compared to having a house built or buying an existing home.  As they are becoming more and more popular amongst  our culture, the simplicity of the whole process would work well for us, just so long as the local council within that area would approve them.  We have seen them for sale already manufactured as a dwelling and which is about 4.8 metres x 6.0 metres all decked out with bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and lounge room with timber floors for about $28,000.  Still cheap as chips!

What Is The #1 Thing Holding You Back from a Simpler Life?

I think most of us can identify with the desire for a simpler life.

Less laundry, less time spent cleaning, less standing in front of the closet trying to figure out what to wear, less rushing, less bills, more money and the list goes on…

But at the same time that we want less, we grasp for more.  (this is true for most of us)

 

Somewhere along the line we bought into society’s way of thinking that EXCESS = SUCCESS; which is totally not true at all..

SINGAPORE – Through My Eyes!

After recently spending 10 days in the stunning city of Singapore, I was totally blown away with many of its attributes.  I had only ever been in transit in Singapore due to traveling to other Asian countries but never actually set foot outside Changi Airport.
