It’s our second edition and this week we have had to GOOOO WEST (insert song lyrics here). We headed to Paddington where the hills are pretty and the parking is shocking. We visited some trendy cafes and chic boutiques, a BW reader had a makeover from one of Brisvegas’s top salons, Bach Hair and we generally walked a few k’s up hills! I fought with myself covering this suburb as it was soo close to the inner city borderline, but our photographer had done a gorgeous shoot in the Paddington Antiques Centre we couldn’t help ourselves. This week, in the spirit of State of Origin, we touched on the North vs South debate us Brisbanites have with each other…. What side are you on? Let us know your thoughts, use the hashtag #brisbaneweekly on Instagram or Twitter to go in the draw to win a handbag and other cool stuff!

Paddington – the place southsiders always get lost trying to find. Well I always end up on Musgrave Road and heading towards the Gap instead of on Given Terrace where the long road of awesomeness starts.

The long windy road of Given Terrace which becomes La Trobe is filled with quaint little houses, and an eclectic mix of fashion, food and lifestyle.

To be honest, the parking is soo bad, it makes you want to pull over and cry tears of frustration but once you

finally get one, you discover what it’s all about. Cuteness is the only word I can describe the places we went.

Filled with boutiques for all types, and cafes at different price points, there is something for everyone (except five year olds) on the main drag of Paddington. The property market is priced well in this postcode, and rental properties are highly sought after by the professionalcouples of our city.

There wasn’t really any pretentious people when walking through the

crowds, but more of an inviting aura that makes you want to BE more stylish than you might be, and to TRY a bit harder to be a better person in the mornings. In a good way.

Accepting, cute and inviting, Paddington is a suburb you can live in and not need a gym membership (due to those crazy mountains), and a suburb you can pick up a great coffee, read a bit of something and forget how close you are to the high tense drama of the city lights.

• Southsiders see many north-siders as pompous or elitists• Predominantly from greater rural areas, made up of small (and insignificant!) sub communities, perceived by many south-siders as a fragmented and confused landscape• See them as up-tight, rigid and closed minded.• Think their roads make no sense • Seen to be lacking cultural diversity • A much more homogenised (and boring) part of town, lacking in personality and individuality• See them as a bunch of ‘bogans’ who think they’re ‘all that’

• Think they’re all part of an extended motley crew conspiring to bring the city down• See the southside as a nightmare to navigate by car, with any excuse being presented in order to not go there• Think they lack the local knowledge to comment on anything Brisbane in the first place• Seen as the place you go to live if you were not born here • Think that the term ‘city planning’ is a concept they’ve taken pride in ignoring• Are seen as lacking any form of noticeable identity, with such an eclectic mix of people each thinking they own the south

WhAT sOUThsIDERsThINK OF NORThsIDERs

WhAT NORThsIDERsThINK OF sOUThsIDERs

These are all comments witnessed in various forms, contexts and dialects from many different locals, from both sides of the city. Obviously this list is by no means attempting to encompass the full-story, so let us know your own opinion here, or on

our Facebook page to get your side heard!

NORTH SOUTHvsWhich side of Brisbane is “THE BEST”?

From the eyes of a tourist or visitor to Brisbane it would be hard to witness, let alone understand.

From the eyes of a local, it is so obvious that it seems like comparing apples to oranges. I’m talking about the great North Vs. South debate that is so commonly brought up in conversations around the city and seems to, whether you like it or not, define you to some extent.

Is there any truth behind these often wild and outspoken claims? That could

depend on who you spoke to and which side of town they are from. However, there seems to be some general agreement as to what each side thinks of the other. What can be said is that the river dividing both ends of town has the ability to make or break you in the eyes of many living in Brisbane.

So what are both sides of town actually saying about each other? We’ve all heard opinions from those waving the flag on either bank, which should be compiled and added to in order to

reach a valid consensus. One fact that can be drawn from these observations is that there is no shortage of Brisbaners who demonstrate a profound and often intangible passion or pride for the areas they call home, which many would argue is perfectly normal.

We give you some of the more notable preconceptions (or misconceptions!) that north and south have for one another.

Which side of Brisbane is “THE BEST”?

PADDINGTON ANTIqUEs CENTREThis old theatre perched on Latrobe Terrace is full of old and new (but all pre-loved) treasures. The building also houses a café, but is surrounded by many more.

ANOUK CAFé To continue the morning, stroll down Latrobe as it becomes Given Terrace and enjoy a meal at Anouk. With what can only be described as a kind of rustic elegance, Anouk serves a seasonal menu made from market-fresh produce.

ThE sCRATCh BARCome evening, craft beer rules at Scratch Bar off Park Road in Milton. The Scratch keeps it simple with rotating tap beers and cheese. For the more adventurous, ice-cream is served with cider, stout or hops and malt extract. Last, but not least, the Scratch has a BYO food policy. You read correctly. Dinner + beer = gooooood.

RUBY IlEsIf you’re keen to shop, suburbia is where you’ll find your Eden. Ruby Iles in Ashgrove offers up clothing and accessories to delight every woman and although seasonally influenced, you won’t just find print pants and peplums in here.

In the river city, crossing the bridge can be scary. The south side is full of one-way streets and the north side fraught with hill starts. Driving issues aside, both shores have a lot going for them and are more alike than you may think. We’re not saying we’ve got a parallel universe situation on our hands, but odds are, your favourite

spot has an (evil?) twin across the water. Here are just a few . . .

WOOllOONGABBA ANTIqUEs CENTREAnother expansive building jam-packed with the weird and wonderful, Woolloongabba also shows off a 50s-themed café and screens silent 1920s films daily.

PEARl CAFé Anouk’s sister from another mister goes by the name of Pearl and is also a short stroll from an antiques centre. More euro-chic here and the option to take home a range of goods, so you can enjoy Pearl Providore on both sides of the river.

ARChIvE BEER BOUTIqUEJust one kilometre away (as the crow flies) and facing off with Scratch is West End’s Archive Beer Boutique. Well-known by now for its on-tap and bottled selection, the bar serves lunch, dinner and dessert in industrial/nanna’s lounge/library-inspired surrounds. It shouldn’t work, but it does.

lE ClAssIC BOUTIqUELe Classic Boutique in Coorparoo stocks a number of the same and similar labels. For southsiders it might be that shop “you’ve always wanted to stop at but never get the chance”, but for northsiders, could become a regular special trip.

PRIMER

MASCARAMascara, Maybelline have come a long way since its early days and is now the choice of Makeup artists everywhere. It doesn’t have to be waterproof; in fact you’re better off not wearing waterproof on a daily basis

LIPS

When you think of long standing, vintage cosmetic houses who do you think of? Estee Lauder? Perhaps even Dior? What about Maybelline? Believe it or not Estee lauder was founded in 1935 and Maybelline in 1915. These two cosmetic houses are still strong in today’s market. Both well and truly defining their own target market, they have survived by adding luxury into women’s lives.Applying and wearing your makeup is your own little bit of luxury. Whether you have a full morning to yourself to complete your masterpiece or whether

you’re like me and have a few minutes while your little one bumps into your legs while happily playing in her walker.Whatever your style, your day requires makeup that lasts. Mascara that doesn’t smudge and lips that don’t budge, so I just want to touch on a few products that will give you that luxe. Primer before your moisturise and sunscreen (to be spoken about at a later date) will give your skin a nice smooth surface for the foundation to glide upon as well as preventing your pores from soaking up everything. In a word use Primer and your foundation will last longer.

This week our lucky reader, Candice was spoiled with a makeover at Paddington’s gorgeous, Bach Hair.

Candice has three kids and somehow manages to juggle the very trendy Happy Little Dumplings chain that has grown ridiculously fast over the past few years.

Sarah Hine, the salon’s Goldwell Ambassador was the creative genius behind Candice’s makeover.

Sarah has been with Bach Hair for almost five years, and loves absolutely everything about the world of hair!

Channeling her inner Rihanna, Candice wanted a lighter look on her already stunning locks.

By tinting the roots and using the beliage technique on the ends, Sarah was able to create the cool gold look even RhiRhi herself would be envious of.

We absolutely love the results of this week’s makeover and are always

This past week I’ve been a vegetarian. I very rarely have vegetarian meals. Salad would be the closest and most of the time I add tuna! I had wanted to do this challenge for a while as I could imagine what my body would feel like if it was given a break from processing all the meat I was eating.

It was hard the first day as I realised how much I relied on meat to fill my plate at most meals. On sandwiches, in salads, at dinner! I was amazed how much I actually consumed!

I made soups, alot of soup actually and it was amazing! It was so quick to whip together a fresh vegie or pumpkin soup and eat with a bit of

toast. Perfect for this time of year.

I’d start the day with avocado on toast and oats, I was eating soup and salad throughout the day, and for dinner I had soup, steamed vegies or on one night I made a vegetarian Gnocchi.

I had never prepared so much fresh food, or cut up so many vegies in my life, but after a week of doing it, i havent stopped.

It takes no time at all, and you feel incredible. I am back eating meats, but all lean and not at every meal, as I really am enjoying vegie soup!

My digestive system is working at least twice as good as before, my

eyes are brighter, I have more energy, I have lost weight and my grocery bill is a whole lot cheaper. I even went to Rocklea markets just to buy my fruit and vegies as one it is SOO much cheaper than at Coles or Woolies, it is fresher and the atmosphere of going to the markets makes me happy.

I dont believe I could ever be a full time vegetarian as I really do love steak, and roast lamb, but I have learned how much preparing your food from scratch can do not just for your wellbeing, but for your back pocket as well.

I reccomend people have a go at this challenge because by Day 2 you notice the difference in how you feel, how you are thinking about food, and what you actually put into your mouth.

It has not just changed how many vegies I eat, but has me thinking about what I am putting into my body. I wont ever give up junk food altogether, but I can tell you this much, the few days since this challenge has been over, I have barely wanted any of those foods anyway. I am now actually craving vegies and salad.

I will be completely honest with you, I have never been very good with money. I can save however I have a little tiny condition called a shopping addiction which prevents me from really focusing on the big picture. Now I know that there a lot of other people in the world who may claim that they also suffer from this fatal condition, but I’m telling you they are just hypercondriacs.

Shopping is a drug to me - if I see something I like, I have to have it. And in the unlikely event that I can physically force myself away from the item and get off the internet or leave the store, I will think about constantly, for weeks, until it has magically found it’s way into my home. And once it arrives I experience a massive come down of guilt and depression, I will consider returning it in these dark moments, but I always manage to find a reason not to (I took the tags off, I have used it, they only give store credit so what is the point?). The only difference now is that I have replaced my initial addiction of clothes, shoes, homewares and now I purchase baby clothes, toys and equipment rather than purchase things for myself.

Everyday at work a delivery arrives for Hannah Wilcox and when I first went on maternity leave my Australia Post lady would knock on the door everyday with a lovely new parcel, or tube, or box…or several boxes (I have restocked our entire kitchen thanks to Brands Exclusive and it all remains in boxes under the bed…don’t tell Dan!). During this time we have fostered a beautiful relationship and now, if I arrive home after

she has left a calling card and she passes me on the street or sees me in the rearview mirror pulling into the driveway, she turns around and comes back…that to me is the very definition of true love.

I digress...

So life was carrying on as normal, I had a baby, it cried a lot, it never slept and I lost track of time. So much so that the 13 weeks of paid maternity leave slipped by like sands through an hour glass (yes that was a Days of Lives reference) and all of a sudden our disposable income was gone. Vanished into thin air.

I guess it is once you are forced to stop that you can really take a step back and acknowledge that, well this little addiction is kind of a big problem and has been for a long time. Especially as you are saving for a house. And a wedding. And the future.

Clearly things are going to have to change, but how do people actually exist on one income? I just cannot fathom how people can own homes, put petrol in their cars, feed more than one child, pay school fees, swimming lessons, dance lessons, school uniforms, text books, and new clothes, LOTS of new clothes because we all know those little feckers grow fast! And currently all we have now is rent, food, petrol (or should I say diesel for the money hungry Patrol that Dan drives), one day of childcare a week, swimming lessons and my gym membership, throw a mortgage in there and my mind is beyond boggled!

I know that I am not going to be cured over night , however the next couple months until I return to work will perhaps instil some good living and saving habits that will hopefully stand me in good stead for the years ahead.

I have already made a giant batch of vegetarian lasagne and frozen it…baby steps :)

I guess this is the first step in my recovery…admitting that I have a problem.

My nephew, Domenic has Cystic Fibrosis (CF). He was diagnosed

with this condition at birth during the routine heel prick test that is carried out on all newborns.

Prior to my sister falling pregnant, she was declared to be in good health. As she was sent away to have routine blood tests, a test for the Cystic Fibrosis gene was not included.

As there is no information on Cystic Fibrosis, Sage was completely unaware she carried the gene and that she wasabout to put her unborn child at risk of being born with CF. It is interesting that the Doctors don’t disclose this seeing as this condition is the most common recessive condition in Australia. As mentioned, my sister is a carrier of the CF gene, and so is her husband.

When both parents have the gene, there is a 75% chance that that baby would be a carrier of the CF gene only, and 25% chance that the child will be born with CF.

CF is a condition that affects primarily the lungs, but also plays a large role in poor digestive function hence leading to many other problems.

At the moment little Dom has been super strong and hasn’t yet needed any hospital admissions. However, keeping Domenic in good health comes with a lot of hard work and heartache. Dom takes around 20 plus enzyme tablets a day, he takes these tablets to aid pancreatic absorption, this is on top of vitamins and strong antibiotics. He has to stay away from coughing kids (near impossible) and undergo physio and nebuliser treatment everyday. A nebuliser treatment is an antibiotic that is fed through a gas mask. It allows the drug to filter into the lungs to helptreat an infection or start of a chest infection. Dom’s lungs are not like mine or yours, they are unable to breakdown any kind of flem or infection that might get in. Currently, Domenic is facing yet another challenge, he has 3 infections in his lungs, Hommophillis Staph, Pseudomonashis, Domenic now

eds strong nebulised antibiotics three times a day, along with oral meds and increased physio this is all in addition to the medication he is taking already. This condition affects so many parts of

the body, and included in a long list of other symptoms, there life expectancy is shortened, however people living with Cystic Fibrosis are living longer, this is simply due to more knowledge, and improved medicine, but we are still a long way away from even finding a cure. Later in life, Domenic will need to undergo a lung transplant, but right now he is too little.

Raising money will help go towards finding a cure. The fundraising that I am currently doing is the 65 Roses Challenge. In addition to the 65 Roses Challenge, I also have a merchandise kit, selling pens, brooches etc, every little bit helps. But most importantly, I want to get the message out, raise awareness, and tell people about this condition.

The SECRET POWER of GOALS

by Adrian Pon

We all know that we have to set goals. If you didn’t hear it from your parents, you would have heard it at school

or even at the movies. If you are in the corporate world or involved in sports, you would know about goals very well. In fact, most of us have New Years Resolutions or at least know of someone who has them. (by the way, how are yours going?)

Goals are useful and important, otherwise nothing gets done! It gives us something to strive for, something that apparently motivates us. What would it be like to have a game of football with no goal? People in one team would just kick the ball to one side; the other side would kick it back. A to and fro game with no goal, would be a very boring one indeed.Some people might have started living life a little like that. Worse still, are the business owners who inadvertently end up

stuck in the daily grind of work, forgetting why they got into it in the first place. They give up their social life, then work super hard, they don’t take holidays and they a re the last to be paid.As you may have noticed, goals can sometimes lack luster or are short lived and can be hard work. The problem is that if you don’t know or don’t understand the secret power of goals, they will seem to lose the intended effect.“So, what is this secret power of goals?” I hear you ask. It is a secret because people don’t know about it. The secret power of a goal is not the goal it self. The power comes in two parts from the person setting the goal. If you get it wrong, a goal may become your gaol (jail). It’s a subtle difference, where one is freeing and the other limiting.Firstly, the goal is really a piece of the person’s soul that is being expressed it the world. It is this self expression that is powerful beyond measure. This is where enthusiasm, energy and fun come from.In order for a person to achieve the goal, they have to BE a particular way. So the second secret power is that goals are about the person you become, not the thing you get. This is what our grandparents called “Character”.Understanding the secret power of goals will propel you to greater heights. Harness the power and go forth into the world!
