I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

It does! To have so much negitive energy at work sometimes and then come home and get so much support is the best feeling and helps melt all that negitive energy away.

There are lots of ways to pamper yourself here for cheap. Getting your hair cut is the ultimate with a shoulder and scalp massage. It is nice they take the time and not rush you out of the chair. Most people at work hate it, but I think it is divine.

I am jealous. I would so love to do that – here the prices for anything like that are pretty high.

Used to be a home now, but prices came down with more little ‘no frills’ places opening. Here is can be expensive too for the ‘spa’ type. Some are in between spa and no frills and they are good enough and best of all the price is right!
At home my girlfriend and I started doing that as birthday gifts… a little treat and no nick nack to clutter a shelf… start asking for spa gift cards!!! Hee hee.
