A Beach Bonfire

Posted by om 0 comments





 


Australia is full of deserted, secluded beaches that would be perfect for building a beach bon fire. I have romantic visions of guitar playing, toasting marshmallows and laid back conversations under a starry night. It's one of those simple things in life that I have never checked off my list. There's a couple of reasons - one is it's illegal in Australia to light a fire on the beach and two summer is usually a total fire ban so open fires are prohibited. I often see the remnants of a firepit on the beach left by young, foreign backpackers travelling around Australia. - they don't know the local laws and that's all part of the big Australian adventure for them.

Aussie Beach Attire

This post is for Cynthia from Beach Coast Style - she has a fabulous beachy blog so check it out. She was asking what a 'rashie' was so what better way of explaining than showing her a pic! This is my new 'Roxy Australia' swimwear outfit I bought for Australia Day celebrations. I like to be colour co-ordinated so I also have the cap and thongs (flip flops) to match. So here I am as a typical Aussie beach goer at my local beach, complete with boogie board, rashie, boardies and bikinis. My sixteen year old has her eye on this one! (Check out yesterday's post if you need any translations on the terminology!)

Contest: Pets and Your Well-Being

Posted by om 0 comments
You have to love the motto of the Best Friends Animal Society: “Our mission is to bring about a time when there are no more homeless pets.” Now that’s an idea everyone can support! And while this largest animal sanctuary in the United States is certainly worthy of donations of money and time, the organization’s publication, Best Friends magazine, is currently asking for something that is actually pretty easy for a lot of us: they want us to share just exactly what our dogs mean to us.

The editors of Best Friends magazine want you to tell them, in 35 words or less, “In what ways do you believe pets improve your overall sense of well-being?”

Send your answer and a photo (no cell phone images) to: editor@bestfriends.org

While we’re thinking of the Best Friends Animal Society, it’s worth mentioning that they do an amazing amount of work. For instance, there are currently close to 2000 animals in their sanctuary in northern Utah. They are also involved in special events and outreach programs to help animals in need around the country. It’s an amazing organization and you can see more information about it here.
