Hosanna Farm Stay
Nothing like waking up to fresh smell of pure natural surroundings! Welcome to Hosanna Farmstay where I went glamping for the first time.
Glamping is totally my kind of camping where huts are already set up with mattresses, pillows, fresh towels and toiletries just waiting for you. It is a five star camping experience. And I loved it! The farm is located in NSW, just over 1h drive from the Gold Coast and about 1h and 45min from Brisbane.
Because I am glamping and not camping, let’s add some glamour to this experience. I took the opportunity that it was festive season at the end of last year and decided to dress up for the occasion.

Hosanna Farmstay offers a variety of accommodation from huts to cabins to camping. Just choose the one that most suits yours and family needs. I have stayed at the cabin before and it is like staying in a tree house. The Bird eye view from up there is amazing.
Experience swimming in the dam. The dam has clay on the bottom which is great for your skin. It offers a variety of activities such as swimming, or floating in a tube. There is also a super fun giant slide. The kids truly love it. Also, try walking the plank if you dare.
Nothing like an early morning or a late afternoon stroll over a natural flower carpet by the water. The surroundings of this farm is naturally stunning, breath in the fresh air and dive into a scenery of abundant natural beauty. 
Not into swimming? Not a problem, because there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied. How about treating yourself to a relaxing sauna surrounded by luscious green scenery?
The Farmstay is a wonderland for the little ones too. So much to do and explore. Make sure to check the activities as you will find cow milking, feeding the animals, watch piglets and rabbits playing, damper (Australian bread cooked on the open fire), reptiles, toasted marshmallows, and so much more.
Walking through idyllic landscape you will find an easy access path that extends from the natural walkway to a refreshing spa waiting for you to cool down and relax. The spa is a space built to harness the water from the dam. Enjoy a relaxing experience and take the opportunity to recharge your energy.

And when all is quiet and all the animals are resting, there is still time to relax and see the beautiful farm slowly drifting to a peaceful and enchanting dream land.
Good night. Sweet dreams.

Ghostmoon – Bags Out of this Planet
Welcome to planet GHOSTMOON. The amazing super cool stylish totes that are eco friendly fun and above all functional. I mean it. Ghostmoon was created inspired by the words of COMMANDER HALBERT DOOLEY who pleaded to all of us human beings living in this planet to be more conscious about the need to look after Earth our only planet that is screaming for help and we must start listening and we must start doing something about it. All of us, it is our responsibility, it is our duty to maintain and care for the future generations to enjoy it the same way we do.
The Ghostmoon Philosophy has taken the challenge to start a movement by creating TOTE BAGS, BACKPACKS, JUTE BAGS and SHOULDER BAGS that are made with natural, organic and recycled materials.
Plus when you purchase a stunning bag from Ghostmoon you can be assured that you are contributing to change the way we wear fashion. Because 10% of your purchase will go straight to ONE GREEN PLANET A platform that is teaching and encouraging all of us to have a minimum impact on the planet. Every decision we make even a small one can make a huge difference and together we can reverse global warming we can help this planet to become healthy again and we can be the impact and the change we want to see.
Nothing like having so much fun saving the planet, being conscious about our impact as well as playing with fashion. Below there are three ways you can wear the SHOULDER BAG Here I photographed it in three different ways, however the way you can use it is endless because they clip, unclip, add straps, no straps so I will not give you any more ideas because I want you to play with it.
The TOTE BAGS and the SHOULDER BAGS have zippers which I love. I don’t have to worry about losing anything especially going to the gym, hiking, meeting with friends and so on. The size is perfect! You can fit a lot of items in them.
The BACKPACKS do not have zippers but when you pull the strings they close tightly and nicely I love them for a day on the beach to hiking to gym and they allow me to be hands free. They come in a perfect size and the designs of every single bag are so much fun.
This GHOSTMOON JUTE BAG will definitely be my number one go to bag for those casual looks that need a statement item to make any outfit an eye catcher. Who said they are only good for groceries shopping? Well, I love mine and I will be taking it out with me everywhere. Love this bag.
So let’s not forget when about to purchase an item that we need to think first on what we can do to use and reuse items that are focus on sustainable fashion. Because without our conscious actions today we may never have tomorrow.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend.xoxoCris -
Stepping Back in Time with Kate Kasin
Let’s rewind and time travel to over 100 years ago with the glitz and glamour of my SEXY SEQUIN DEEP V-NECK PARTY DRESS from KATE KASIN
Over 100 years ago, sequin dresses were not yet something women would dream of wearing, however I decided to get in a time machine dressed in a beautiful sequin dress and take the glamour to a very different era where I managed to contrast the past with the lifestyle of the nowadays fashionistas. From the time of corsets which thanks to Coco Chanel we no longer are wearing as an everyday item, we women have come a long way and fought for our rights and freedom. We conquered the right to wear whatever we want and we no longer need to ride horses sitting with both legs to one side because we can wear pants. We have conquered so much, and yet we still need to continuously fight for our rights to be met, as we are not quite there yet.
Also so many other things happened back then and “We are not in Kansas anymore” yes we are not. I am actually at The Bearded Dragon Hotel in Tambourine Mountain where I visited and in the 1900 The Magic of Oz book by L. Frank Baum was released.
In 1918 the First World War ended.Birth control was a new topic.
In America The Prohibition took place and nobody could sell alcohol.
I am so glad that many of the changes are positive and we are now able to wear sequinned clothes. It just feels like we walk around being showered by diamonds.
Ready to sparkle? Take the opportunity to get ready for the festive season that is fast approaching and get my dress HEREUse code SEQUINDS to receive 40% offthe price before code: $31.86
the price after code:$18.99
Please feel free to add more facts to the changes we had in the last 100 years, I would love to read in the comments below.
Have a wonderful week

Alchimie Forever – Because your Skin Deserves the Magic Touch of Love!
Alchimie Forever of Switzerland believes that “your skin is the mirror of your soul” and I totally agree with this statement. Loving and caring for your skin is as important as caring for your health. Your skin is a reflection of health, it also guards you against infections and protect your whole body. So make sure it is your number one priority! The products are dermatologist formulated and tested in Switzerland. It is Cruelty free and Vegan friendly. Sign up for the NEWSLETTER and get 15% off your purchase and join the ALCHIMIE FOREVER REWARDS POINTS
Alchimie Forever of Switzerland was founded by world renowned cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Luigi Polla, MD more than 30 years ago. His expertise developed a brand that goes beyond skin care, it believes that caring for your skin is caring for yourself. A family owned business that believes in developing skin care products that go beyond caring for your skin and extends caring to responsible clean formulations that are paraben-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free (PETA and Leaping Bunny certified), phthalate-free, dye-free, soy-free and nut-free. The products are hypo-allergenic and non-comedogenic.
Over the last few weeks I have tried three products all with anti aging benefits. Let me introduce you the first product the Kantic Brightening Moisture Mask When I first opened the container a delicious light scent of rainforest wild fruits and flowers came straight to my mind. I quickly read the ingredients and the reason for the fruity flowery delicious smell was because the formula carries European blueberries, wild pansies, oats, grapes and Vitamin E. This product is packed with natural goodness straight from our nature.
The texture is creamy and light. It is a mask that can be used two ways, you can apply and leave it on your skin for 15 to 20 minutes or you can use it as an overnight mask. Well I loved the idea of leaving the product on my skin overnight and removing it in the morning. It is mess free, it absorbs fast and efficiently. It can be used once to twice weekly. It is a great product for dehydrated, red, irritated, dull skin. I did notice an amazing improvement on my skin, it had a brightening effect, leaving it soft and deeply hydrated. Please do check the Kantic Collection that consist of Brightening Moisture Mask, Kantic Calming Cream, Kantic+ Intensely Nourishing Cream
I have always been very careful on the way I look after my skin, from a very young age I was taught about the importance of looking after it. However, as I age my skin care routine becomes more and more a priority as I do care about how my overall health reflects on my appearance. Even though I try my best to protect my skin from the sun I have noticed appearance of pigmentation. It is not a surprise as I do spend a lot of time outdoors in my travels and natural light photoshoots. Incorporating a Pigment Lightening Serum to my routine made a huge difference. With a light scent of plants it harnesses the goodness of Citrus which is a powerful Vitamin C source, Green Tea that is packed with antioxidants, European Blueberry, jojoba, Vitamin E, and more.
My skin has shown a visible improvement as pigmentations have started to fade away. It is bright, healthy and soft. It also prevents the formation of future brown spots appearance. As we all know prevention is better than treatment so my advice using a quality product on your skin before signs of unwanted pigmentation is truly important. It also works as an anti aging product that helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
To finalize my routine after using Pigment Lightening Serum I apply the Protective Day Cream SPF 23 Also with a light scent of nature best ingredients this product is consists of European Blueberry, Jojoba, Edelweiss, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. It is a great product to apply by itself or under makeup. I have used it both ways and what makes me at peace is knowing that my skin is not only being cared for but also it is being protected against UV rays.
Love the lightweight consistency of it, as well how it combines protection, moisturizer all while fighting the appearance of signs of skin aging. To me having a SPF in the daily moisturizer is important as well as making my skin care steps easier and faster. The risks of skin cancer is real and exposure to UV rays has to be taken seriously.
Take Skin Care Seriously. Love yourself, care for yourself and make sure to use products that care for the ingredients used in the process of making skin care products.
