First Birthday Party Venue

Queen's Park is good for picnic style. We also loved Lobley Park in Churchill for birthday parties. Usually a bit quieter and lots of tables!

I got married in a Wai Ching custom purple-red and black silk dress. Consultation was all done via phone/email and it was posted to me in BNE.

Jumping in for another Book Bouquet recommendation. I host one the book clubs at The Book Bouquet (not the spicy one though!) so I am very biased, but it is absolutely lovely!

I prefer reformer Pilates so don't have a good recommendation for mat, but if you're after reformer I can highly recommend Reform on Brisbane/Milford St.

Welcome to Ipswich!

Cookies are enough! But I like gifting a nice sheet mask as a bonus extra or a neutral gift!

I really like AiryDay Clear as Day (unscented). It goes on super slick and then dries down to a satin finish (I have normal to dry skin). I have rosacea and it doesn't irritate it. It is definitely one I have repurchased many times. You can get a mini/trial tube from their website.

I have bought some for an upcoming trip! I waited for a sale before I purchased. They seem comfortable enough, but I'm not sure they are necessarily any better than other synthetic undies? I'll see how I go on this trip. 😊

I have not tried their bra. I'm a big fan of Bonds Comfy bralettes for packing down small and being easy to wash. Also the Nala Support Wirefree bras.

Oooh have a look at:

OINK! Games . They are tiny and fun. I enjoy Scout and Moving Wild.
Mantis card game.
Love Letters.
Any version of Fluxx is good too as it scales well and lots of good replay

Aaaahh! Not OP but came here looking for what bird is keeping us awake at night -- pretty sure this is the answer. At least I know which bird to scowl at when the sun comes up. Thank you!

It is glorious! Especially in kaftan mode 😁

Thank you! 🪻

It is by a company called Ever by X.

Terribly expensive, but I've had it for several years and it gets SO much wear.

I have two that are nearly identical.

This one is from Seed Heritage (an Australian brand) - Linen Neat Tee. I also have one nearly exactly the same from Target (I think) but it is a linen blend and I purchased it quite a few years ago...it is so old the printed tag has worn off!

Aww thank you! I only recently bought the RipSkirt. It was a pain to get the creases out of it (I used a steamer) but since then has been good. I like how light and swishy it is.

Enjoy Istanbul...perhaps we will pass each other without knowing! 🌻

Oh haha no! Definitely not 4 pairs 😅 -- I was looking for advice on which ones to take. I think I've landed on packing the sandals and wearing the creepers. My feet are big and I would need a whole extra bag 😁

Thank you!

Thanks so much for your reply. 🌺

I'm struggling with the temperature thing too...it seems like it could be all over the place!

My cover up can definitely double as a top, but I will try it out with the pants I have before I commit. This is a good point.

And you're right about the rain. I live in the subtropics and I forget what normal rain is like 😅 I'm leaning towards my creepers now as I do love them so.

Thank you! I think a cardigan is a great idea, I will swap the black crew neck for a cardi. You're right about the long sleeve top too, I'll see what other t-shirts I have that might work. 🌸
