OPEL INSIGNIA OPC


Last week I had the absolute delight to test drive the amazing Opel Insignia OPC for  QT Fashion Week & Awards thanks to the fabulous staff at Gold Coast Opel.

Just to give you a little back ground on the brand.... Opel has been around for about 150 years or so. 

Mr Adam Opel, in 1862 built his first sewing machine which was where the foundation for his company first began, showing that fashion and Opel go hand in hand.

By 1920, Opel was one of the largest bicycle manufacturers of the world and continued to manufacture bikes until 1937.

In 1989, Opel made it's first automobile and within a year marks it's debut into international sport.

I'm sure many of you would have heard of the Astra, which was created by Opel but rebadged for other manufacturers around the world mostly common known would be GM Holden.


From the moment I slid into the brand new V6 turbo with leather Recaro sports seats, I instantly fell in love and never wanted to return to my 2 door convertible Holden Tigra which incidentally is an Opel made car.

 Spacious and oh so comfortable, electric seat controls (forward, backwards, lumbar support), seat warmers, 20" alloy wheels, dual zone climate control, full sat nav system, ipod/iphone connectivity and a pull down tray with cup holders in the back seat for guests - this car has everything!

 Drives like a dream and can definitely give it some gas when needed - not that I gave it a run for it's money or anything ;-)

 Plenty of boot room for those shopping days. This car is chick friendly and the guys love it!

So impressed with the way this car drives, it was so difficult to give it back... If you're in the market for a sports performance car give Gold Coast Opel a visit....

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...

HAVE YOU HEARD?

After a crazy weekend of celebrating our friends Hen's and Bucks (needless to say the chores and shopping didn't get done) - the boy came home from a long day's work and being the good girlfriend I am (hehe) I suggested take out for dinner. But rather than doing the standard McDonalds or Hungry Jacks, we decided to order delivery from Menulog  a fabulous new take-away food and delivery website that has a huge range of local restaurants available to order from the click of a button. Step 1.  Type in your postcode (see image below) Step 2.  A list of restaurants available to order from depending on your location - both takeaway and delivery appear for you to choose from (see image below) Labrador Delivery Step 3. 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...
