Get a Tan!

Fashion is so much fun, and I find it to be a really great way to express yourself through the latest trends or stepping out and trying something new and unique.

At the moment I am loving 'Tan'. - Belts, shoes, necklaces, bags, ...etc.


It's springtime in Aus and I feel like this colour; leather or wood texture, big or small touches, adds a whimsical, earthy feel to my clothes and in a strange way connects me to the newness of blooming flowers, warm breezes and lengthening balmy evenings that hold a hint of summer. 
Try some 'Tan' today.


With so many cute, stylish, and fun colours, looks and feels, out there you just can't go wrong. So, do share with us: What is your favorite accessory colour or item at the moment and why you are loving it?
Can't wait to read what your all into! :)

Spontaneous Rain!

It was just yesterday, that I put on my walking shoes and with the whole family = one husband, Miss 5, and Miss 18mnt old. We went for a walk around the neighbourhood.

It was just on dusk, the air was warm, full of balmy blossom scents, and because we live at the beach, was filled with fresh salt. It was really fun and refreshing just walking around our area. 
But, as we were heading home it began to rain, big splashy rain. Now, we were just a little to far away from home and I knew we were about to get wet. 




Yep, we did. After calming the girls down (lots of reassuring Miss 5 that it's OK to get wet), it was wonderful! It was a spontaneous moment of excitement.


Truth Moment: Sometimes I feel that in life; all the 'busy', responsibilities, and the 'frazzle'... There is no time anymore for spontaneous fun - and these days I don't have the mind space to think up any either.


However, thanks to the sky that night, I had some. It reminded me of how good it felt to feel really alive and it gave joy to my family - I had forgotten (sadly) what 'spontaneous' felt like. 
My girls squealed in delight at getting wet, and my hubby simply smiled at me and held my hand in the rain.
From this yummy taste, I am determined to have more spontaneous moments in my life and really enjoy the opportunity's of 'something a little different' or being caught in a 'unchangeable moment' that can always be fun if you choose it to be.
What do you reckon?


Ok, No matter your age or stage in life, do share your most recent spontaneous moment? - What it was, how you felt, or even share what activities you do with your family to keep the fun!

'Share Your Life Moments'

Everyone has a life story or as I like to put it 'life moments', they happen to us all and they are like a bag of 'all sorts', each of us experiencing different types and each of us sharing a few too. 
We want to hear from you and hear about your life moments. 


Inspire, encourage, or just share with us a funny, exciting, painful, or heartbreaking, frustrated, something interesting, a lessons learnt, or an opps...etc...and more moment. 
It can be anything from: marriage, family life, shopping, beauty, health, friendships, having children, cooking, single life, broken relationships, building relationships,... and ...

Simply write in 100 - 200 words an event/situation/moment and comment on how you handled it, learnt from it, were inspired, or needed help and what you did. Don't forget to write a sentence about who you are i.e. Mum of 3, works part time, can't live without shoes, and have been seen pulling my hair out, women from QLD...:) - you get the drift!


Send it to fradazmag@westnet.com.au or through our Facebook page as a Facebook message.http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Fradaz-Mag/100578686657469?ref=sgm

I can't wait to share your 'real life moment' with others to inspire.

'bibs and bobs' Friday!

Ok it's peek time at some cool ideas and things that bring life out in us.


This week, these 5 are sure to make your day or evening (check out no.5) go pop with some visible joy!


1. Food: Feel like everything is a bit bland and ho hum looking in the kitchen. Well check out this website called Colorful Kitchen Recipes: http://www.squidoo.com/colorful-recipes
It’s going to cheer up your plate and your tummy. How yum does that ‘Curried Honey Mustard Chicken’sound??? 


2. Scent: Sarah Jessica Parker’s new scent ‘Fashion’s in the Air’ is bright and smells of color and you are sure to be noticed smelling wonderful. I always feel so feminine in a pretty perfume. http://www.sarahjessicaparkerbeauty.com/


3. Sniffles: A new season, especially winter ones, can bring about the unwanted flu. Keep those noses in check with a bright colorful hanky: floral, stripes, patterns, bold colors...just throw out the tissues clogging up the handbag. (Mine looks like a tissue factory that exploded.) 
Get hankies that make you feel feminine, or happy, or something that makes blowing your nose just that bit more exciting (lol). Check out this hanky site for a little crazy fun with a good cause too: http://www.limegreenmonkey.com/shop_snotcouture_sneezing_postman.html


4. Indulgent: You have to get into ‘Chi Chocolate tea’! So delicious and you won't be able to help but go back and pour another cup. Boil the jug, brew this tea and just add a comfy couch with a good book, movie or just a moment to yourself! http://www.teapeople.com.au/


5. Sexy: This one’s for all you women who want to feel a little bit sexy and even better for you married women who want to mix it up a little with hubby: ‘Nudite Intense’ –  a scent you’ve got to get close to experience! http://www.kitcosmetics.com/products/nudite-intense/fragrance/new-nudite-intense


Have a great weekend everyone and remember it’s all about: you as you are being visible - hey this world needs you!


Cheers. xx
