One of the most important skills I've learned to master in life is visualisation. I've have used this hack for most of my life. The thing is, your most powerful asset is your subconscious mind. Once you have put yourself in a picture life this, your subconscious mind continues to set those images in your brain behind the scenes as you go about daily businesss. Try this. It works! Eventually, your brain works at getting you what you want without you doing much else. You can't unsee a positive picture you've created of yourself. These images will eventually stamp out the negative images you may have. I hope this works for you in terms of feeling more empowered every day.

Our school holiday adventure continued.  Coco and ventured out to Frankston’s awesome new venue General Public. There were so many great photo opportunities there. We played a game of pool, went bowling, ventured out to lunch and had some fun playing arcade games. Loving being back home after our big Grampians country adventure. Back to work for this mum! Play dates galore happening at our place! #retro #vintage #s #vintagestyle #art #fashion #retrostyle #aesthetic #classic #style #oldschool #love #nostalgia #photography #design #music #nintendo #retrogaming #sfashion #videogames #antique #interiordesign #gaming #vintagefashion #vintageshop #retroaesthetic #gamer #instagood #vintageclothing #bhfyp

OMG this was so much fun. We went on a one hour ride through the beautiful bike paths in the Grampians. These were e-bikes on hire for $40 each. We are happy to spend this kind of money on a holiday because we save so much on dinner!!!! Now that we’ve become financially free mortgage-wise we can afford this kind of thing. Although we did stock our motel room from the supermarket so we could save our pennies for this awesome ride. So worth it!!! Best fun ever!!!! This was an impromptu ride. Luckily I had my board shorts with me to wear under my black t-shirt dress. Yay! #scooter #ebike #e-bike #grampiansbikehire #ngsc #fun #funtimes #holiday #travel #melbourne #thepetersens #petersenfamily #havingsomuchfun #yeah #thingstodo #travelling

Here’s a list of the little kit I took on our three day trip. Black t-shirt dress, stretch jeans.
sneakers, socks, thongs, slipper socks,  underwear, bras, bathroom bag,
hair straightener,  squishable shopping
bags, swimmers, sunscreen, handbag, wallet, sunnies, baby wipes, beanie, squishable sunhat, out-for-dinner top, dress sandals, compartment camera bag, tech and laptop. The black -t-shirt dress is so handy. Because you can wear it out for dinner, to the pool and over the jeans! I love and live in my black t-shirt dress. The camera bag is also great because it has compartments which makes organising daily gear for a train or coach easy! You will always be able to find stuff. #travel #packinghacks #travelhacks #packforapurpose #weekendtrips #weekendvibes #bag #handbag #travelbag #camerabag

In the summer of 2004 my husband and I were $50k in debt. We moved to outback Australia (Kambalda in WA - 60km out of Kalgoorlie) to get completely out of our comfort zone. It worked. Life has never been the same again. This week I went on an unplanned adventure with my beautiful daughter. We venture out when we need it. This was the most fun we’ve had in years. We returned to the Grampians region - where I was once Bushfire Recovery Officer. It was amazing to return to see the community as incredible as it always was and even better. Rejuvenation is a beautiful moment. Thank you Halls Gap - for giving us the amazing day we so needed.

Heading to the beautiful Grampians region for an adventure with Coco. We are having so much old school fun on this country train. Reading books, drawing silly pictures and chatting on. We had an early rise for this trip. The train is not crowded at all - which is great. We will post more of this adventure as we go. We hope you enjoy riding with us today!!!!

                      Stay-at-home holidays are a great opportunity to declutter. I spend most holidays bum-up and head down inside cupboards, boxes and crawling around rooms looking for junk. You’ll find me inside kitchen cupboards, pulling stuff down from our storage cupboard, fiddling in my kids toy boxes and digging around in bathroom cabinets on my BIG junk hunt!

                      I’ll go on the hunt for throw-away items like old shoes and socks, ill-fitting clothes, worn manchester, old toys, chairs, tables, cushions, rugs, baby gear, electrical goods, hobby items and just about anything that I can get rid off that will give me a new and refreshed sense of headspace and clarity.

                      I’ve been generous over the years

                      I’ve given away most of my stuff to the second-hand shops who so kindly sold me the stuff in the first place. But recently, I decided that I am such a good bargain hunter that a lot of my stuff, especially larger household items, are often worth more than the money I paid for them!

                      This is my current ‘sell it’ list

                      1. Car roof rack – $600
                      2. Designer coffee table – $60
                      3. Bathroom vanity – $20
                      4. Old electric guitar and amp – $80

                      And there’s more! But I don’t want to bore you. But the above adds up to $760!

                      That’s not an amount to scoff at!

                      So as you can see, for relatively little effort, you could turn that clutter into cash!

                      Here are 10 great ways you can turn that clutter into cash!

                      1. Hold a garage or yard sale

                      One of the tried and true methods of cashing in on household items is by holding a classic yard sale. Set out a few card tables and platters of biscuits, and see if any of your neighbours think your trash is treasure!

                      2. Get an appraisal and put it up for auction

                      If you have any big-ticket items like jewellery, fine art, or collectibles, it’s a good idea to have them appraised before you toss them on the jumble sale table. Online appraisal sites can help you get started, or you could go to a formal auction house.

                      3. Book a stall at a flea market

                      If you have a high volume of items to get rid of, it might be worth booking a table or stall at a local flea market.

                      4. Visit a consignment shop

                      To sell name brand, vintage, and designer clothing, visiting a consignment shop could be the way to go. Consignment stores sell your old clothing in a pleasant retail setting for a higher price than what you might receive on your own, although they will take a commission.

                      5. Sell online through eBay or Gumtree

                      Another classic method of selling old stuff is via eBay. However, you’ll need to be sure to take plenty of photos and write strong, keyword-rich descriptors to help online buyers find your listing. Use eBay’s app to easily photograph and upload your items on the run!

                      6. Sell online through a local listings site

                      Although eBay holds the benefit of virtually guaranteeing that someone is going to see your listing, you can potentially make a higher profit if you use a localized listings website instead. There will be less competition, and sites like Quicksales don’t charge any seller fees which leads to more money in your pocket.

                      7. Donate it for a tax break

                      If you have a substantial volume of items to offload, particularly those with value, you could donate them to charity and report this on your taxes for a deduction. Be sure to get receipts to back up your report.

                      8. Upcycle it and sell it on Etsy

                      Are you feeling crafty? Have you seen those cake stands made out of old vinyl records or wooden crates turned into shabby-chic coffee tables? You could make things like this and sell them online.

                      9. Sell collectibles at an antiques shop

                      In addition to auction houses, another possible venue for classic or collectible items is at an antiques shop. In some cases they will sell your goods on consignment, while in others they may buy it directly from you.

                      10. Break it down into parts for individual sale

                      Do you have old, broken electronics? You may think there’s no way that anyone would want to buy this rubbish, but many electronics whizzes like to buy old appliances for the parts.

                      These are ten of the easiest ways to sell your old clutter. By taking the time to list your belongings online or take them to a local consignment store, you’ll be left not only with a clean and clutter-free house but also with extra cash in your pocket!

                      Gotta love FREE cash!

                      One of the most important skills I've learned to master in life is visualisation. I've have used this hack for most of my life. The thing is, your most powerful asset is your subconscious mind. Once you have put yourself in a picture life this, your subconscious mind continues to set those images in your brain behind the scenes as you go about daily businesss. Try this. It works! Eventually, your brain works at getting you what you want without you doing much else. You can't unsee a positive picture you've created of yourself. These images will eventually stamp out the negative images you may have. I hope this works for you in terms of feeling more empowered every day.

                      OMG this was so much fun. We went on a one hour ride through the beautiful bike paths in the Grampians. These were e-bikes on hire for $40 each. We are happy to spend this kind of money on a holiday because we save so much on dinner!!!! Now that we’ve become financially free mortgage-wise we can afford this kind of thing. Although we did stock our motel room from the supermarket so we could save our pennies for this awesome ride. So worth it!!! Best fun ever!!!! This was an impromptu ride. Luckily I had my board shorts with me to wear under my black t-shirt dress. Yay! #scooter #ebike #e-bike #grampiansbikehire #ngsc #fun #funtimes #holiday #travel #melbourne #thepetersens #petersenfamily #havingsomuchfun #yeah #thingstodo #travelling

                      Here’s a list of the little kit I took on our three day trip. Black t-shirt dress, stretch jeans.
sneakers, socks, thongs, slipper socks,  underwear, bras, bathroom bag,
hair straightener,  squishable shopping
bags, swimmers, sunscreen, handbag, wallet, sunnies, baby wipes, beanie, squishable sunhat, out-for-dinner top, dress sandals, compartment camera bag, tech and laptop. The black -t-shirt dress is so handy. Because you can wear it out for dinner, to the pool and over the jeans! I love and live in my black t-shirt dress. The camera bag is also great because it has compartments which makes organising daily gear for a train or coach easy! You will always be able to find stuff. #travel #packinghacks #travelhacks #packforapurpose #weekendtrips #weekendvibes #bag #handbag #travelbag #camerabag

                      In the summer of 2004 my husband and I were $50k in debt. We moved to outback Australia (Kambalda in WA - 60km out of Kalgoorlie) to get completely out of our comfort zone. It worked. Life has never been the same again. This week I went on an unplanned adventure with my beautiful daughter. We venture out when we need it. This was the most fun we’ve had in years. We returned to the Grampians region - where I was once Bushfire Recovery Officer. It was amazing to return to see the community as incredible as it always was and even better. Rejuvenation is a beautiful moment. Thank you Halls Gap - for giving us the amazing day we so needed.

                      We were once $50k in debt. We moved to a remote area away from all distractions such as partying friends and expensive city lifestyles. We spent a year completely focused on clearing debt. We worked every day and came home every night, reducing our debt until all the debt was gone. It wasn't what we were making that helped us clear that debt. It was what we weren't spending. We cut up credit cards and improved our credit score by paying bills on time etc. After that we saved a home deposit for a cheap country duplex property. Two cottages on one title.
We then built equity in the home by renovating it out of our wages, while we enjoyed a simple country life. We also continued to work full-time to pay down the loan while our kids were young. After that we rented out that property (rents were high in an area where there was big demand for rentals). We moved back closer to the city, to a regional area close to the beach and with a train line to the city. We used the country property to buy a large home on a double block in a growing area. We renovated that property using the same method as above. Building equity through wages. My husband learned valuable trade skills so we could do everything ourselves. I got good at researching supplies for the renovation. After some time, the duplex property started to pay off both our mortgages. We became essentially mortgage-free while still living in the home we were living in. We purchased both properties in areas which were either tourist towns, or had industry or growing infrastructure. More to come. What's your get out of debt story?

Just to prove we do know how to have fun! I wrote this list way back in 2018 and we've been working off this list for years. There are so many cheap and fun ideas here. I thought this would be a great one to share for anyone hanging around home this Easter break or even those lucky enough to escape. Enjoy the sunshine!!!! We're off to the beach tomorrow for kayaking with friends. Can't wait!!!!

                      Can’t afford expensive anti-ageing creams? I’ve been doing this for about six months now and I’ve noticed a considerable difference to my skin. Apply straight after getting out of the shower after drying your face (when skin is still warm and soft) and then apply moisturiser as normal. Also don’t forget to hydrate from the inside by drinking lots of water 💦. This really works for me :-) #antiageing #skincare #beauty #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #antiaging #aesthetics #healthyskin #acne #microneedling #facial #antiwrinkle #wrinkles #antiageingskincare #collagen #dermalfillers #antiage #cosmetics #skincaretips #facials #skinhealth #skincareproducts #natural #skinrejuvenation #selfcare #beautifulskin #skintightening #clearskin #bhfyp

                      You know when you go to buy something online and there's a box for a coupon code? Make a habit out of opening a new browser window at that point.
