MY MOUNTAIN ESCAPE - PETHERS RAINFOREST RETREAT, MT TAMBORINE

I had the absolute pleasure of reviewing a fabulous venue in Mt Tamborine called Pethers Rainforest Retreat. To read all about my experience check out December issue of Get it Magazine. Here are just a few little pics of my wonderful time there...

Cute little guy I came across at a park at Oxenford I stopped at on the drive up.
Beautiful corridor driving in to the Retreat
Gates to relaxation...
Enjoying the fireplace
The view from my bed - nothing but uninterrupted views of rainforest
Breakfast delivered each morning in this delightful hamper - fresh pastries, bread with muesli and yoghurt and fresh juices.

How cute is this little RSPCA op shop? Couldn't help myself...

    I liked your photos. I must say pethers rainforest retreat is a very beautiful place. There are some more rain forests in mount tambourine equally beautiful. You should visit rest of them too.

BEAUTY QUEEN

For years I've always been told how lucky I was to have such good skin. And for years I always blew the compliments off with a casual thank you. As I get older, I now cherish those compliments knowing how lucky I actually am.  Catching up with family, specifically the older generations I realise that it's all in the genes. My 85 year old grandfather doesn't look a day over 70, his younger sister who turned 70 this year looks barely 55 and my mum, who probably won't want me revealing her age haha is looking the best she has in years (in fact most people think she's lying when she reveals she has a 34 year old daughter!). I am blessed with the obviously magic youth genes from my mothers side but also the genes from my fathers side which carries the Native American heritage - which I believe are forever youthful. Most people think i'm in my mid-late 20's and i'm happy with that ;-) Everyone is different, so I thought I would share my daily ski...

You choose your restaurant and order the scrumptious food! There was a decent selection to choose from, however we went with ALs Convenience Aussie & Indian Takeaway which has a mixture of cuisine which was perfect fo...

Former Vogue Editor, Kirstie Clements narrates the film and plays the role as Executive Producer while it looks at it's creativity, passion and everything that draws us in about Brisbane's thriving fashion industry. Style heavyweights interviewed especially for the film include Easton Pearson 's Lydia Pearson, Sass and Bide 's Heidi Middleton, and Nicky and Simone Zimmermann . The public launch will take place on Monday 3 March. I got the chance to have a quick chat to Stylist Josh Jones who was involved with the project about what he had to say... Josh Jones How did you get involved with “Uncovering the Brisbane Look” and what was your role? I was luck...
