2 a kind deed or favour As humans, one of our greatest virtues is the ability to be kind. Offer a kind word to someone who may need it; you never know how much it could impact the flow of their day. Invite someone to join you on your lunch break and, when you ask about their day, listen with presence and courtesy. Offer a smile to a stranger on the train, deliver a home-cooked meal to a friend, make you partner’s favourite dessert or pick up the phone and call your mother. Like a child reaching for a hug, extend kindness to everyone around you, including yourself. You know those kind words you say to others? Say them to yourself. Tell yourself why you’re a wonderful person and believe it…

Travelling in a group or as a couple can be an extremely divisive experience. Not only do you need to agree upon where to go, what sort of experience to indulge in and how to spend your time, you also need to manage different budgets, levels of cleanliness and expectations.

The average Australian receives just four weeks of annual leave — so why settle for less than what you need to restore your mind, body and soul? An independent adventure could be just the experience you need. Dedicate your next vacation to…

Whether you’re visiting for a day, the morning or simply an hour, a day spa can be a magical experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, revitalised and renewed. This is a place where you can truly unwind and escape from reality for a few blissful hours as a team of relaxation experts spoil you.
