Another week had already gone by *_* Eeep it’s almost my birthday already?! Time is flying this month. I’ve spent most of this week filming like crazy so I can be ahead with videos and have more time to do longer tutorials like the Sew Fun series. Exciting!
So here is the week in vlogs!

Cheese, Beaches and Flowers – Snapshots from QLD 2
On to the next day of our Queensland trip!
There weren’t any tours because it was Easter but we sat down for a very cheesy lunch.
Here is the matching vlog, there are bits from The Big Pineapple there too!
I made fun of Celina and Tobias for not being able to finish their deep fried Brie… then I failed too >_>
|
Best breakfast EVER.
The view of the cheese making room:
The whole place was full of beautiful flowers.
Saturday was a really busy day! After lunch we drove to Montville so James could FINALLY take photos of the view on a day where it wasn’t rainy and cloudy…
… as it turned out it was actually rainy and cloudy again haha! Poor James!
We were supposed to go to the Nutworks and Chocolate factory but after driving around for ages to find it, it was closed ;_; Instead we went across the road to The Ginger Factory!
Honestly… I don’t like ginger. It was almost closing time anyway so we just wandered around the gift store. They had a honey area too, who knew how many honey products there were!
I bought a lollipop (which tasted TERRIBLE) and a cute bee handkerchief! Which tasted so-so…no,wait.
After all of that we were super tired so we drove back to the hotel and watched the rain for a while. Such pretty views!
Sunday was our last full day at the coast and we filmed for most of the day. Celina and I took turns on the balcony to film hair and make up tutorials.
The boys decided to go surfing while we were finishing up our filming at the hotel then we all went down to film at the beach together.
We waited for low tide so we could see the rock pools…
And of course the second we got the camera gear out it started raining!!!
That didn’t stop us though!
I am really fascinated with rock pools!
I was shooting an outfit video so I had a lot more jewellery than most people wear at the beach XD
Nails from the day:
I think 90% of our holidays look like this:
I love these photos of Celins so much, I ended up painting a lot of them.
I love that I caught James’ reflection on this shot!
Of course the second we went back to the hotel it started looking like this XD
That night we packed up and had dinner at The 4th Floor. The next morning we drove straight to the airport to drop off Celina and Toby! We almost didn’t make it in time because the traffic was so terrible *_* The rest of our trip was quite uneventful as we hung out, filmed things and relaxed with James’ parents. The one day I took nice photos was the day we visited South Bank.
I just love these flowers.
The whole walkway is magical… other than that whole caution sign and the workers trimming them >_>
Jerk ibises… (ibi?) who were stealing food.
I think James might have the rest of my photos so there will probably be a part 2 of this full of behind the scenes things… like me shaking my fist at that damn ibis! We saw my Dad for a little bit too. His dog Ruby is 18 now and I think she won’t be around much longer as she’s had several strokes. Poor girl is mostly blind and deaf now too 🙁
It made me really miss Lottie >_< She was SO happy to see us when we got home. I really want to take her with us when we travel from now on! She would have totally loved the beach. This was an extremely packed trip and we had so much fun. It was wonderful seeing The Sunshine Coast in a completely different light. Thank you so much to everyone who let us come and visit. Everyone was so nice and I really appreciate the effort everyone went to to make our stay awesome! Definitely check out The Sunshine Coast and all of the places we visited the next time you’re in Queensland!

Snapshots From The Sunshine Coast And Brisbane
A couple of weeks ago Celina, Toby, James and I visited the Sunshine Coast!
We had a mad dash to the airport because of James’ stupid McDuff luck >_< I bet I wouldn’t be as stressed out at airports if he didn’t have such bad luck!!! Below with my new Hideo Wakamatsu suitcase. I’ve decided that it’s officially pretty enough to counteract James’ terrible airport luck.
Anyway we made it to Brisbane late on Thursday night and had late birthday dinner with James’ parents and brother. Then we made the drive up to Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast… James and I had a bet on exactly how long it would take to get there. Teeeeechnically he won but I’m still disputing that though >_>
We crashed early that night at the Zanzibar unit and woke up to this in the morning:

Pretty nice way to wake up!
On Friday we woke up late and had breakfast at Starbucks… because we were too lazy to go anywhere XD We were treated to a day at Underwater World and had a fantastic time there! My camera decided to refuse to take non blurry photos that day so I only have what James shot 🙁 We had dinner at Hot Pipi’s which was pretty good. There was a lot of hilariousness as we explained the pronounciation to German-native Toby! Hot Pip-ees not Hot Pee Pee’s XD Our view of sunset:
The next day we visited the tourist staple: The Big Pineapple!
We went to see the Earth Jewel Creations stall at their weekly markets.
You already would have seen most of these photos in the jewellery competition we ran!
Jo was super nice and had arranged for us to tour around the rest of the markets too!
Look forward to the vlog of Day 2 which will include more footage of this!
I couldn’t stop staring when she was stamping the metal plates, it was so cool!
There were so many different designs to choose from too.
My awesome wrap necklace:
The markets were absolutely huge! They are really making an effort to update the place now, there’s even a huge music festival happening! At the markets there was a live band and some extremely good food.
I had a lime and white chocolate cheesecake from Tempest In A Teacup. The sweetest lady made it and she had extremely awesome bright hair! Seriously best cheesecake I’ve had. I was trying to convince her to move to Melbourne and be my personal cheesecake chef but I don’t think I managed it XD
Jo had very kindly arranged a ride for us on the Big Pineapple train! It was so cute and old timey!
It was such a nice surprise to find a place which I remember so well from my childhood has been brought back to life.
Beautiful flowers:
The view of the pineapple farm from the train.
We hopped off the train in the forest area so we could go to the petting zoo! The forest was kind of amazing!
Celina looking adorable:
And as payback for refusing to pose for my photo here is the before one!
This trip, I was obsessed with bright colours and tiny details. I really want to improve my photography.
I made everyone wait while I took photos of this tiny mushroom. Sorry for getting you all bitten by mosquitos… well only a bit sorry because it’s SO tiny!!
We walked up the path to go to the petting zoo…
We were given bags of grass to feed to the animals!
This little cow didn’t want to be my friend or pose for the camera XD
James touched a little piglet…and pretty much every other animal there.
Celina ran away from a goat.
I held a chicken who was terrified of the children who were poking it before we arrived!
We stayed for a good couple of hours at the markets and I don’t think we even saw half of the stalls there. I really want to go back sometime and devote a whole day to just wandering around and eating everything! Omg I almost forgot the fudge!! I found a fudge store that sold English style crumbly sugar fudge which I’d eaten as a child and I ate SOOOOOO much fudge XD Now I’m obsessed and I’m going to have to order from their website. I’m sure the guy thought I was crazy ranting about fudge in the middle of a gigantic pineapple… but it was important! We finished up at the Big Pineapple and headed to the Maleny Cheese Factory. This got really long though so more on that next post! Hope you guys are having a good week so far! |
