Camping Mini-Break // Explore

I just got home from an incredibly relaxing couple of days and thought I may as well share a few snaps from our trip. Bryce and I have been so busy lately that even finding time to hang out between uni, work, family and everything else going on is so hard so when we worked out that we had a few days off together we planned a little camping trip to Lake Macquarie. I detached completely from social media/phone and it was great- so liberating to be in the moment. Enjoy a snapshot of my mini-break!

I pretty much went product free for the couple of days and only took this stuff but really only ended up using my toothbrush and deodorant. Its so nice to pack little of this kind of thing and realize how much you actually don't NEED it.

I am loving these swimmers from Dotti...I think my stripe obsession is getting out of control...

I have the tendency to collect things that I find pretty or different when I go places. I have added these to my window sill.

I had such a lovely couple of days exploring rockpools, wandering caves, eating snacks, swimming in the sea and relaxing. Never underestimate the power of a good weekend away for de-stressing!

Bondi Beach // Explore

On Sunday, Tiarney and I decided to go on a mini roadtrip (about an hour and a half away) to Bondi Beach for the afternoon. After taking a couple of wrong turns, we arrived and miraculously found 4 hours free parking right on the beach so we were stoked. We got out of the car and noticed some markets set up right next to the beach so we headed there first and wandered around, then set up for a picnic on the grass overlooking the beach. We wandered around for a while before heading back to the car.
We only then realized that we forgot to put a ticket on the windscreen so I was super relieved to find that I hadn't gotten a fine and literally 10 seconds after we jumped in the car, the ranger walked past checking the cars- talk about good timing!
Bondi is such a beautiful place and although it can be busy (especially on weekends), the people are friendly, the views are great and the general vibes are so nice. Hope you enjoy seeing a few photos from the day! x

We found a crepe stall and wanted to split one but I wanted homemade jam and Tiarney wanted nutella so we compromised and had both!

These necklaces were so gorgeous but they were about $80 each and therefore way out  of our budget.

We grabbed some lunch from a fish n chip shop and after sitting down and having seagulls steal our calamari and chips while we set up the blanket, the food was more than slightly disappointing and we really wished we found somewhere else to buy food.

Our first time trying deep fried mars bar! It looked gross and if the batter was nicer, it would have been quite yummy (although extremely rich)

I bought these cool reflective sunnies from the markets for $30

We may have had a bit of a selfie spree for a good 15 minutes

Walking along the graffiti lined path right next to the beach

People passing by were laughing at us while we took this photo haha

The gorgeous pools next to the sea

The sunset that we admired the whole way home
