Summer time is BBQ time

By 1 Comment

I don’t know one person who doesn’t love to fire up the BBQ on a summers afternoon while watching the kids play in the blow up pool or while enjoying a few drinks with friends (the adults not the kids). We are big on barbecuing in our house and why wouldn’t you be? It’s faster to cook, there are less dishes and it gets everyone outside; so when I was emailed asking if I would like to review the Outdoor Chef – Leon I had to say yes! We used Leon for the first time on Christmas Day to glaze our ham and it did a great job. It heated up fast and maintained the temperature required without any effort. I love that you can use it to cook many things; it has a guide on the front of the bbq to let you know what setting and which way the cone should go for whatever food it is that you wish to cook. It comes with an open grill so unfortunately you can’t cook eggs or onion on it without purchasing a flat plate or putting a fry pan on the grill however it is great for cooking up a few snags, bacon or even thick pieces of steak.

Our Christmas ham (thanks to my father in law)

The only thing I could fault with Leon was that when the wind blew the gas blew out but that could have been easily rectified by us moving the bbq to a better location out of the weather elements. This modern and stylish BBQ features an enamelled finish, single burner, hinged lid with a thermometer and has wheels for easy mobility. Leon is a great size in terms of how much space it takes up; this gas kettle bbq is small but packs a punch, is easy for one person to put it together in under an hour and as it is readily available at your local Bunnings for $299 it’s perfect for the upcoming Australia Day celebrations!

My CHUX Colour Consultation + $200 Bunnings & CHUX Giveaway!

By 111 Comments

You know those opportunities where you are faced with a new experience where you aren’t sure what the outcome may be or what you are even expecting to get out of it? Well thanks to CHUX I had this happen last week.

I received a colour consultation with CHUX Collections ambassador Chris Brazel. As I mentioned above I had no idea what I was expecting to get out of the session but thought why not give it go. I’m glad I did and must start by saying that Chris is not only so easy to talk to but amazing at what she does! She could tell so much about my family and I just by the colours we used around the home.

 

She talked about my kids as if she knew them just from the way their rooms are set up and the colours and patterns used on their bedspreads. Before talking to her I would have laughed if anyone said this is what the appointment was going to be like but it was incredible. She knew the characteristics and important aspects of every member that lives here – passionate, large belief systems, nourishing of others, emotional, partnerships, balance, security, etc. It was incredible!

She informed me I need to rearrange a few of my pictures and candles in order for things to run a little more smoothly. I need a tall green plant in my living room to boost my career and a rock with red ribbon tied around it in the main bathroom to ensure money stays in our hands where it should be and basically not go down the drain. I learnt so much from this one session that I cannot fit it all in this post but let me say this – if you get the chance to do this – DO IT! I have been surprised by how influential colours are in the home and the impact they can have on your moods.

You can visit Chris at her website here.

And of course view the new CHUX Collection range here.
