Summer/Spring Mini bucket list

So there are the big life bucket lists, which I’m sure everyone has like skydiving or travelling. And then there are just the little things that you want to do but don’t always get around to it. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the little things in life for one day you’ll look back and realise they were actually big things. Here are a few things you can do which are pretty fun.

      1.  Make a Punch

Summer is about long nights and fruit drinks. Yum!! Why not have some friends over and make a delicious punch or vodka jelly. These drinks are dangerous because your having fun sipping a sweet beverage while you have no idea your getting really tipsy.

2. Go on a outdoor picnic

How Romantic! Pack a picnic basket with some yummy snacks and warm rug for the perfect outdoor picnic. Such a great date idea :)

3.Try a new look

We are slowly getting out of winter. YAY! Its time for a new look- something different. So might be a whole new hairstyle or maybe just a new lip colour or a new style of sunnies.

4.  Do tie-dye

Tie-Dye clothes = Awesome !

There is nothing better than having colourful clothes and being a flowerchild. So get your friends over and have tie-dying session with some fruity punch. Hunter-Rose will be doing a how to do tie-dye blog very soon, so stay tuned.

5. Print your photos

How much fun is it to look at old photos in a photo album. We take so many photo these days now but never print them anymore. There are such cool companies such as My little photo book and Picture Postie  that are really  sweet gift ideas

6. Have a slumber party

Get your girlfriends together and have a slumber party and paint your nails, put on a rom-com and pig out on junk food.  

7. Go to a outdoor movie

I have noticed more and more outdoor cinemas in Perth. Why not take advantage of the fresh air and catch a movie outdoor on some comfy bean bags and popcorn. 

8. Nail a recipe 

Find a recipe which you love and become an absolute master chef at it. This can be an amazing desert or just a yummy dinner dish. 

9. Write Thank you cards

They say the best attitude is gratitude. So why not do it the old fashion way. Buy or make some thank you cards for people who mean the world to you. 

10. Have lots and lots of frozen yogurt 

I love frozen yogurt anytime but its even better in summer.

Rottnest - An Island full of Beaches, Babes and Bogans

Rottnest Island. For tourists it’s an environmentally friendly island 18km from Fremantle, WA, where you can explore the local inhabitant’s (quokkas, whales etc), learn the islands’ history and visit its 63 beaches on their bicycle. But for us locals it’s Rotto - a place to get tanned, get boozed and get friendly with the other tanned/boozed people.

As a part of my amazing Christmas present from Loan, she bought us a ticket to Rottnest just in time for the 44°c day. As soon as we hit the shores of the island we headed straight for the beach, but not before we were met with a lovely young man who screamed “Oi! Come sit with us darling” very charming!

As we shed our clothes and lay down our towels I forget how breathtaking this island is. With crystal blue water and fine white sand, it’s no wonder why over 500,000 people flock to this island each year.

Highlights:
- Snorkeling in the clear waters
- Hot sun to get our tan on
- Cute guys half naked

Lowlights:
- Stingray swimming near us
- Dehydration

Fifty Shades of Hunter-Rose

Sunglasses are the ultimate summer accessory and can be the perfect finish to a perfect outfit. Make the right choice and be the Cara Delevingne of the day or go straight to wrong town as though you stepped straight out of the matrix. Here are a few of my favourite current and coming trends so you can turn heads for all the right reasons.

Trends:
- Tinted glasses with let you view the world as though you are wearing an Instagram filter. So whether you want to see through rose coloured glasses or see sepia shades like brannan, this trend will make you and your surroundings look amazing. After all, Instagram makes everything beautiful

- The industrial look is one of the bolder choices for 2014, and a personal favourite of mine. This look has sharp lines, thick metal and visible screws. Not for the faint hearted, but this look will definitely set you apart from the more girlie trends.

- By the looks of it the cat eye glasses are here for another season. Think Audrey Hepburn in breakfast at Tiffany's or Kourtney Kardashian in Bora Bora. These shades will exude class and sophistication.

- Mirrored glasses are the perfect party accessory. Not only will the reflective shades make you look fashion forward but it doubles as a mirror to keep your make up in check. I do warn you, be prepare for your vain friends to constantly check themselves out.

Check out some of our favourite sunglasses below.
