7 ways in 7 days - Free Nookie dress

Yesterday when shopping for fruit at Bluewater Redcliffe I noticed the Girlfriend magazine had a free Nookie dress worth $69 attached.  I never purchase this magazine and it completey goes against my freebie rules written in an earlier post (the rules).  I decided to break my rules just for you. The last post with the free Seafolly dress 7 ways was popular I thought I would challenge myself to try again.  To make it fun for me, I can only use shoes and accessories in my closet and give myself about 10 mintues to throw it all together.  As you know, I am not a stylist or even stylish, just a girl (pretend with me that 38 is still a girl) on the peninsula that loves a free dress.

This Nookie dress comes in two colours, black and orange.  Black is the safe choice but the orange was the only choice for me.  It only comes in one size, thanks girlfriend.  This can not be a one size fits all, it may be one size fits one thigh.

Well that was fun, looking back over the photos I noticed two things
1. Where are all the fun colours I like; and
2. All the shoes where bought at Shoes on Scarborough on the peninsula.

A Stones throw

The weather has been beautiful for the beginning of 2012. As I was driving around the Peninsula, I noticed how gorgeous the water looked and it seemed like every every BBQ, table set up, park bench, patch of grass and car park had been taken. I love how outdoorsy Queenslanders are.

I decided to take my girls to Woody Point for ice cream. Since it was a public holiday the place was busy and there were only a few places open. The cyclists had already arrived from their far away destinations for their coffee reward. Lucky for us, Stones on the Point was open and we found a table outside.  Dean and Melinda Meakins are the owners and run a great clean and unique restaurant.  Don't judge me, but we decided to order Potato Wedges with sour cream & sweet chilli sauce and a coldstone ice cream. These came out quickly and were huge servings. I could feel 1/2 dozen pairs of judgemental cyclist eyes burning into my back with their pursed, espresso stained lips and shaking their helmet-haired head. The ice cream also had a selection of lolly treats and sprinkles on the side. My girls eyes were nearly as big as the servings and they didn't make a peep for the next ten minutes.

The wedges were perfectly cooked, but the size beat us.  I think we only made it about half way though.

The piece of orange garnish was left neglected on the plate.  Poor sad piece of orange. 

Then a short walk across the park to the jetty in a pitiful attempt to work some of it off.

Next time (and there will be a next time), I think we will cycle there and then we will look like we deserve our yummy treats.

Stones also makes meals.  They use a unique method of cooking using a heated stone. They specialise in steak and seafood. Another great place in Redcliffe.

I love living on the Peninsula and days like this remind me why.
