Editor’s Note...

Dear Readers, As we move into our traditionally warmer season, summer is the time of year to be carefree and enjoy fun activities. Fortunately we live in an area with so many things to do and see, and it really is the simple things in life that makes most of us happy. So many people have to travel to enjoy the natural beauty and activities that Coastal life offers us to enjoy every day. A time to relax, unwind and enjoy all of the deliciously fresh fruits in season to quench our thirst on those long extended hot summer days. Watermelon, cherries, peaches, strawberries, grapes, limes, mangoes…the list goes on. Sitting in the sun and reading a book or watching the ocean with the waves crashing on the shore and forgetting about all of our worries for a while and realising we need to accept the things we cannot change. Allowing our bodies to revitalise, whilst the sunshine is absorbed into our skin to keep us healthy by boosting our much needed Vitamin D and then taking a soothing swim in the cool water. Time to prepare for Christmas andmake our NewYear resolutions, and to enjoy and cherish the time we spend with our family and friends. Trying to make positive plans for the future that ensures you have some quality time that will be all yours. I would like to wish you all peace, happiness and good health for the festive season and coming year. Feeling lucky? Don’t forget to enter our Reader Competitions for your chance to win a special gift from Home & Lifestyle magazine from Miele, JBL or Invisible Exercise Australia. Good Luck!!

Swimming is the perfect summer exercise when the mercury rises, what better way to cool off than to take a refreshing dip?

It doesn’t matter whether it’s at the beach, lake or pool, the long sunny days are a perfect excuse to take to the water. But swimming isn’t just fun and a great way to cool down, it’s also very good for your health, and while you’re splashing about, you’re actually doing wonders for your body. So come on in the water’s lovely!
