Family Lifestyle | Icy Pole

When I was 15 I had an incredible opportunity to perform (dance) in China during their International Children’s Festival. I was able to meet kids from all over the world, and I distinctly remember having a lot of talks with some sweet Australian girls about what they have/don’t have/names for treats. Oh, and making them say “Fosters, Australian for beer” over and over again! haha!

Women are jealous of his spiral curls, men think his ‘fro “awesome”. Lyric has now started to ask for a pony tail if he’s not in the mood to let me “do” his hair, but mostly, I just let it go wild! Now, back to the World Cup hair… Schwarzkopf Professional was challenged to match a product with a unique soccer look, and then I thought it would be fun to try and match those looks with the corresponding products! Can you say FUN!? When I showed Lyric the looks and told him we were going to try it with his hair, he was surprisingly excited! So… our first attempt was his favourite, the ‘fro!

Family Lifestyle | Did You Say Road Trip??

If you haven’t heard of Etsy, I’m not sure we can be friends! haha! Etsy is where the creative people who actually do the crafts they pin on Pinterest (and do them well) to then sell them! They have everything and anything! Want a mug that says “Hello? Is it tea you’re looking for” with a picture of Lionel Richie’s face on the other side (my personal favourite!)? They have it! Want the CUTEST outfit for your lil one’s 1st birthday cake smash photoshoot? They have HUNDREDS! Want to find a vintage Fisher Price cash register, and not one of the new ones they’re making to look vintage? They have that too! With vendors from all over the world, Etsy has become the go-to for all things creative and one-of-a-kind! This summer you can experience the fun of discovering new things on Etsy in person in your home town!
