I laugh when I think about this day! Not only did I have an amazing time with the gals from @bizbaberetreats, but I was reminded of how damn quirky I can be! Don't let this photo fool you, I spent the entire time walking along the beach talking (complaining) with new friends and old, about these three things: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. I grew up near the beach, only half a km from my family's favourite fishing spot at Trinity Park in Cairns. I would be forced to go with them every time and within 15 minutes I'd be burnt to a crisp and my skin would resemble that of a tomato. One time I got so burnt that my mum had to shower me with tea bags and then I had to lay flat under the fan with sliced aloe vera plant placed all over my body... Needless to say I wasn't a fan of fishing! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Walking on the beach is lovely... except when the sand crunches underneath you, gets stuck between your toes, and you start feeling sticky and itchy from the salt water! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Regardless of my annoyance with sand and the sun, the water (believe it or not after all that!) brings me peace. I don't know what it is, but it revives me, it inspires me and motivates me. Anyone else feel that way at the beach? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ OR can anyone relate to my quirky dislike of sun and sand? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. I still cringe when I think about those burns! As much as I love the water, I am obviously still triggered 😂😂
Today was a reminder of this! I've had a pretty hectic two weeks (check out my stories today for the details!) BUT today I am blessed to be able to remind myself and those around us, how damn lucky we are to live the life we have. Which is why each and everyone of us needs to read these words and take a moment to appreciate them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you want to wake up tomorrow? 🌷
How many of you struggle with your Facebook ads? Are they converting well? Are you even confident that the lead magnet is bringing in customers? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well I have a solution… I’ve been working with a few businesses on creating a lead magnet that suit their target audience, are relevant to their brands and have that entertainment/engagement value! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The solution: Quizzes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You know those Buzzfeed worthy quizzes that just get you clicking? Well, why not adapt a quiz to suit your brand? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve just launched one for @kirahydecreative called the Brand Audit Quiz, it not only identifies the aspect of your brand that you’re struggling with most, it give you a workbook and strategy to help audit and improve it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @Daniellaeliasofficial our @thelaunchgals co-founder and owner of @AmityCreated has just launched a quiz for her tea cup biz called “What type of TEA do you need right now?” It not only identifies the exact tea you need, but it teaches you about it’s properties and the brewing process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you see how much value can be given through a simple quiz? Don’t believe me, try it for yourself! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Want to make your first quiz? Sign up to TryInteract for FREE http://bit.ly/KHQuiz ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy quiz creating! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Kira x
Gosh I love this woman. 4 days ago she packed up our entire UK life into a suitcase and travelled back home to Australia. Whilst we still don’t know what the next few months hold, we at least know that we’ll have each other to venture through the craziness that is our lives and careers 💜 Yesterday I wrote a poem in a card for two amazing friends that are about to get married (TODAY!) I shared this poem because it was shared with me when Cinty and I first started our long-distance journey four years ago. For two people to commit to eachother but lead entirely different lives (Aussie Designer + International Circus Artist) these words served us in more ways then one, particularly through the hard months away... “Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.” Does anyone else resonate with these words or have a relationship story to share where the odds were against them?
Morocco, what an experience! I must say it's definitely given me my travel lust back! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All year I've been travelling back and forth throughout Australia, I've been to Cairns, Innisfail, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Maroochydore, Lismore, Sydney, Melbourne and Bendigo. It's honestly been non-stop travel! Which I know I can't complain, it's pretty amazing, but what's more amazing is getting to travel to a place like Morocco and take time out to immerse myself in another culture (and east INCREDIBLE foooood!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The best part? I was able to truly take time to be influenced by the flavours, the scenery and the colours! Which has actually helped me for a recent design project @kirahydecreative! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As soon as I saw this clients Pinterest board, I new this project was meant to be - can you believe it! There was such a strong Moroccan influence to the board, that I've been able to incorporate some of my travels into the branding! *winning* ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is one of the reasons why I love this life, and this job! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hmm... I wonder if I book a trip to Bora Bora, will I land a client that justifies the travel? ;) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Kira x P.S. I’m back home to Aus not and seriously missing this place! Where have you been in the world and wish you could go back to? ✈️
