Over the Queen's Birthday long weekend we had recently my fam-bam and I headed up north to sunny Surfers Paradise to escape the cold snap that has just hit Sydney, only to be greeted with more rain than I had seen in weeks. Despite not getting the natural, healthy summer glow I was hoping for I ate lots of amazing food and managed to sneak in a little pool sesh in. Oh, and I had my first ever pokies experience - and I won! A mere $10 but it's a win nonetheless!
What those three days away reminded me was that despite the busy lifestyle we all live in, it's vital to take a few days off and just leave all the work and stress behind. I spent the three days without any set plans, eating copious amounts of amazing food, napping and watching a sh*tload of tv. I haven't had such a carefree couple of days for a very long time, and having smartphones definitely doesn't help. Although it's hard to get a few days off to do nothing, I'm definitely going to start implementing baby steps and weening myself off social media and work in the evenings and just enjoy being home.

A foggy Sydney when I arrived home.
Yum, the food looks so good! Sorry the weather wasn't great though, we did have a strangely wet and cold long weekend. Well done for braving the pool though!
