Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...

 Today I am sharing a recipe for a no-bake hokey pokey crunchie slice.  Ingredients:  250 grams of biscuits. You can use any biscuit you want.

Blend the biscuits until they  are crushed.  2. Pour in the melted butter and condensed milk and mix it together.

The media can be so cruel. I know journalists have to do everything they can to get the photos, videos, quotes and information needed to tell stories and report news, but sometimes they hurt people in the process and that is wrong.  One Direction member, Liam Payne, died after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CaSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 16th October. American Tabloid news organization, TMZ, published photos of Liam's body on their website, which is disgusting! Whether it is a celebrity or not, Nobody wants to see a dead body on the news or in any publication. Imagine how his parents and two sisters are feeling right now. They have just lost their 31-year-old son and brother and the whole world is talking about him and now they have to see his body splashed allover the news. Executive producer Michael Babcock defended it saying, they  were trying  to confirm reports that Liam had died. Surely there are other ways of  confirming it? How would he ...

Do you have old VHS video tapes lying around your house and not sure what to do with them? Today, I am going to tell you how you can convert your old videos to digital files and save your precious memories.  You will need a VCR video player, VHS to digital converter device, your computer and an external hard drive or USB.

There are different types ranging from $15 up to $300 and it's up to you which one you buy but note that they all mostly work the same way and the cheapest devices do a great job. Make sure your external hard drive or USB has enough storage space to save large video files.  USB2.0 Video Grabber with Honestech HD DVR3.0 software This is the device I use to convert videos.  These instructions are specifically for this. Most devices work the same way. The first thing you need to do is install your conver...

Spring is upon us and, with the weather getting warmer, people are heading to the beach. It is great to have a day out at the beach, spend time in the sun, get a tan and enjoy the water. There are many health benefits of spending time at the beach, and I am going to share a few of those here.     Fairy Meadow Beach, NSW  The beach is a great place to meditate and think. Sitting on he shoreline and looking at the sea can lure you into a meditative state and having that quiet time allows you to think about things happening in your life and get clarity. It has been proven that staring at the sea has a positive effect on the brain. Listening to the sound of the waves stimulates your parasympathetic nervous system, which triggers the body to secrete hormones that decrease the heart rate and blood pressure. Negative ions in the air help us absorb oxygen more easily so it helps your body relax and you can have a better sleep. When you go and hang out at the beach, you ...
