LIVING THE

DREAM AT SUESHEL HAIR & BEAUTY

W

hen we are children, we have dreams of what we will be when we grow up. Our dreams usually begin with becoming a movie star, Wonder Woman, Superman or Malibu Barbie. As we begin to grow up, sometimes our dreams change, sometimes because we have changed, or sometimes because the world has told us we need to change our dreams. For Lisa and Sally, two of the hairdressers at Sueshel Hair & Beauty, being a hairdresser has been a passion of theirs ever since they were little girls.

"Being a hairdresser is all I ever wanted to do, ever since I was a little girl” remarked Sally.

It’s safe-to-safe Sally and Lisa are living out their childhood dream and are currently a part of the experienced and qualified team of hairdressers at Sueshel Hair & Beauty. They say if you love what you do, then it won’t feel like work and that defiantly rings true for Sally and Lisa. Discover how Lisa and Sally are using their passion and love for hairdressing, to enhance their client’s natural beauty and boost their confidence; for everyone deserves to feel like a million dollars.

Tell us about yourself.

Lisa: Hi, I'm Lisa. I live and work in the local area.

Sally: Hello, my name is Sally. I am married and have 2 beautiful children.

When did you join Sueshel Hair & Beauty?

Lisa: I've been working at Sueshel Hair & Beauty for 10 years.

Sally: I joined the Sueshel Hair & Beauty team at the end of 2014. I started by just helping out for a few hours while my youngest was little.

Why did you become a hairdresser/stylist?

Lisa: Ever since I was a little girl, a passion of mine was to become a hairdresser.

Sally: All I have ever wanted to do since I was young was to become a hairdresser.

What's your proudest professional accomplishment?

Lisa: For me, having happy clients is my biggest accomplishment. Having them walk out of the salon feeling amazing is such a fantastic feeling.

Sally: While I'm always proud of winning awards and competitions, the best accomplishment for me is seeing my clients leaving the salon with a smile and newfound confidence from loving their hair!

What are the major hair trends you are seeing at the moment?

Lisa: The biggest hair trends I’ve seen at the moment would have to be mullets, wolf cuts and bangs.

Sally: One of the biggest trends coming through at the moment is the wolf/shag cut; lots of texture and warmer colour tones.

What services do you offer and what can people look forward to when they engage in your services?

Lisa & Sally: We offer all aspects of hairdressing; including cuts, colours, foils, creative colouring, perming, chemical relaxation and styling. Most clients love a good scalp massage.

When you’re not working, what do you do to relax?

Sally: In my downtime, I love relaxing with my family at the beach.

LOGAN SUPPORTS SAFE

HAVEN COMMUNITY

By Emily Stack

N

hung and I were first introduced to Jaeneen, Executive Director of Safe Haven Community and Tania, the Queensland Regional Manager of White Lady Funerals through the Logan City Women in Business (LCWIB) meeting over a year ago.

When we were first introduced, we weren’t aware of the intricacies surrounding coercive control and domestic abuse that women (and men) have experienced and how Safe Haven Community works to prevent it and the support they provide.

So, when they announced they were launching the World’s Biggest Dinner Party on the 14th of May, we knew we wanted to get involved. You may also recognise Jaeneen and Tania on our cover of the April issue.

To show our support, we, Logan City Guides, hosted (along with many others!) a special dinner party at Monte's Ale House intending to

10 10 || Jimboomba JIMBOOMBAGuide GUIDE

raise $5,000 to donate to this worthy cause.

We invited local businesses, councillors and members of the local community to come along to attend on the night.

The response was phenomenal! We were overwhelmed by the generosity of the Logan community. Over 70 people joined us on the night, taking part in the raffle and auction; while some of those who weren’t able to attend, donated auction items and funds to this worthy cause.

To get the crowd involved, guests from each of the tables were invited to have a go at being the auctioneer; taking turns to auction each of the donated items. What followed was lots of laughter and fun, as people got into the spirit.

Thanks to everyone, we were able to raise over $7,000 for Safe Haven Community!

Throughout the night, guests listened to several speakers as they enjoyed their meal.

Speakers included Jaeneen, Tania, author Anne M. Davy and Vicki Delport, who spoke about her experience working with Safe Haven Community.

he Soroptimist Club in Beenleigh is currently searching for nominations of women who are quiet achievers in the Logan community, for the annual Stella Rickoff award.

Finalists will be selected by a panel of members from SI Beenleigh, and then members of the Rickoff family will select the winner.

T

The award is inspired by Stella Rickoff who was one of the original members of the club in 1988 and spent much of her life working to support people in the local community. Stella was a Soroptimist, a kind and generous person, who gave freely of herself to help her community in times of need. We are looking for someone who emulates her work in the community.

The Soroptimist Club in Beenleigh hopes to not only lift women that are lifting others but also to recognise the many community services that are supporting the women of Logan that people may not be aware of.

Nominations are now open for members of the Logan, Beenleigh and district communities to nominate an individual who they feel would

The winner will be announced at the Stella Rickoff Awards dinner, to be held at Club Beenleigh on Saturday, July 23rd, 2022. They will receive a badge, certificate and a cheque to the value of $500 made out to the charity of their choice.

Applicants need to be over 18 years of age and must accept the nomination. Nominations close on the 15th of July 2022 at 5 pm.

Balance sheet again Most small businesses I encounter don’t take the time to look at their balance sheet or understand how to grow that balance sheet to make a real value in their business.

“Business is a game of numbers and relationship backup by good systems and processes.”

Building the value of your business also includes building your brand, your reputation, and your systems. This boils down to being consistent in your business reputation and image. Being reliable and memorable and you can’t develop these things without systems and processes.

June is a good time to spend looking at the numbers in your business. It is the time to analysis and plan your budget and cashflow for the coming year. Take the time now to understand the relationship between your balance sheet and your profit and loss.

Understand what those %’s mean and what changing the 1% will do to your bottom line (the money in your pocket).

“You can be making a profit and have no money in your bank account and you can have money in your bank account and not be making a profit!”

he Bruce Highway. The seemingly never ending 1,679km stretch of road that has been connecting Queenslanders between Brisbane and Cairns since it was completed in December 1986. It has become a regular companion in the great Queensland Road trip.

With so many great places to stay, things to do and places to eat the possibilities are endless. In this regular travel feature, we will be taking our

audience on the ultimate road trip, ‘Travel along the Bruce Highway’. Starting from Brisbane, we are going all the way up to Cairns! Featuring a new city or region every couple of months - along the way showcasing local attractions, places and hidden gems that everyone should experience at least once.

All aboard for the second destination: Hervey Bay!

HERVEY BAY

SUNSH I NE COAST

BRI SBAN E

Email: jobs@talentify.com.au

Situated 3 and a half hours drive north of Brisbane, Hervey Bay is a natural bay between the mainland and World Heritage-listed Fraser Island. It is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway! Get yourself to Hervey Bay for a serving of sun, sand, seafood and soulfulness.

After lunch, try something spectacular and take an unforgettable journey in the skies as you soar above Hervey Bay on a magical helicopter ride with Great Ocean Helicopters. Get ready to appreciate some of Hervey Bays’ best scenic locations from a unique perspective.

We’ve put together some suggestions for your road trip itinerary:

Now it’s time to check in to your accommodation. Located only a 2-minute walk from the beach, you can’t go past Quarterdecks Retreat. This luxurious accommodation has 1,2 and 3 bedroom spacious villas available and offers multiple facilities; with a full kitchen and laundry available, it is perfect for everyone from couples to families.

Start nice and early for your drive up to Hervey Bay. The drive itself is incredibly therapeutic.

Pass through stretches of dense pine forests and pineapple fields, and make a pit stop at in the quaint country town of Gympie for coffee and cake. Why not stop at Maryborough, the birthplace of Mary Poppins. Take a walk around the city that inspired PL Travers to pen the infamous nanny’s story.

First things first on a weekend getaway trip in Hervey Bay; fuel up at the Hervey Bay Boat Club. Savour a speciality coffee, quick meal and a decadent dessert at their gourmet coffee shop or dine on the Coffee Shop Deck and enjoy balmy sub-tropical breezes and views of the passing marina traffic. Why not experience sensational ala carte dining for lunch and dinner with stunning views over the marina and Fraser Island. Tailored to suit all tastes, offering the freshest of local seafood, tender meats and crisp seasonal fruit and vegetables.

After a well-deserved night’s rest, you’re awake ready and raring to go. No weekend to Hervey Bay is complete without a whale watching experience. Known as the whale watching capital of the world, Hervey Bay is a hot spot to experience the majestic animals. Get up close and personal to wonder at the magnificence of humpback whales on board the Freedom III Whale Watch and Charters.

To finish your trip with a cherry on top, a visit to World Heritage-listed K’gari (Fraser Island) or Lady Elliot Island is a must. While there’re plenty of ways to see these sites in a day, Fraser Island Tours takes it up a notch; showing you the best of what the region has to offer and witnessing the beauty of these world heritage listed paradises.

TALES OF THE

TRAVELLING

PLATE …

A

lot has happened since our May issue and what better time to give you an update on the tale of the travelling plate than right now.

Originally launched by Logan City Guides as a community initiative aimed at bringing people together and strengthening the Logan community, the Plate has taken on a life of its own. Consistently been passed from business to business around the Logan area, since it started its journey with Arwen from Devon Pixies. The plate has been passed on a total of 9 times so far!

Since last trade, the plate was passed from Rowena to Kailie and her team at Dye Hard Hair, along with 2 custom stubby holders.

The plate continued on its journey when it was passed on from the Kingston Post Office to Amanda from TRS Safe Detox Australia with a pack of UNO cards and a crystal necklace.

Amanda is a local business owner and is an independent distributor of Coseva's Advanced TRS in Australia; a product that helps to remove toxins from your body.

From then, Amanda shared the plate with Deborah and her crew at Muse – Crystals & Mystical Gifts, with 2 IONEX products. Deborah is currently in the process of setting up a Bathhouse and Day Spa Retreat.

Stay tuned for the next destination for the ‘Where is the Plate?’. We also encourage readers to check out the hashtag #whereistheplatelcg and like or follow the participating businesses or give them a visit if you haven’t yet.

You can also follow the journey on the Logan City Guides Facebook page, https://www. facebook.com/logancityguides/.

From there the plate was shared by Kailie with the lovely ladies at the Kingston Post Office with 2 bottles of hair care product.

An abundance of shops across the heart of the Mountain offers everything from locally-made gifts, clothing, weekend markets, fabulous antiques and even the quirky. There is no shortage of opportunities for the passionate shopper.

One store you can’t go past without checking out is Dandelions 3. Browse the large range of Australian made and owned products on offer.

Chances are if you are looking for a special gift for someone else or even yourself, you’ll find it here.

Local, mother and owner of Dandelions 3, Leisa wanted to showcase the rich local talent available in the Scenic Rim and Australia.

“I believe there is a rich talent of local Scenic Rim manufacturers which should be showcased to the rest of Australia. I want to share the love I have for local products and make it accessible for the local community as well as incoming visitors to Tamborine Mountain,” explained Leisa. “Shop local is 100% behind the reason why I decided to make Dandelions 3 a reality, not just a dream.”

Being a local and busy mum of three young children, Leisa found it difficult being so far away from the stores to buy affordable, handmade, eco-friendly, sustainable products for

her children. So, in response, Leisa opened her store that showcased the best the Scenic Rim has to offer. All products at Dandelions 3 are natural and free from chemicals.

Dandelions 3 has a wide range of unique, handmade and sustainable items; there is something for everyone, from mums and dads to children and babies.

From locally made skincare and wellbeing products such as handmade soaps and oils. As well as eco-friendly homewares like handmade pottery, candles and jewellery, children’s clothing with a vintage rustic feel and look, reusable nappies, swim nappies and post baby products for mum such as reusable breast pads.

Dandelions 3 is not just another store but a place to shop local. It is a destination to feel relaxed and confident knowing you are supporting locals.

STRESS MANAGEMENT TIPS

FOR STUDENTS

E

xcelling beyond school-related stress is possible with time management, selfcare, and social support.

It’s natural to experience academic stress when you’re being constantly evaluated and facing a heavy workload. Whether students are facing a nit-picky teacher, a tight deadline or a competitive classmate, academic stress can be hard. But be encouraged… there are practical approaches for students to manage their classes and their level of overwhelm so they can pass their tests and effectively deal with stress.

The healthy habits that students build now, can help carry them through other seasons in their life. On the bright side, there are ways to help manage their time, productivity, and stress management.

Manage Time Properly Everyone’s relationship to time is different based on their immediate support needs and goals. Here are some time management techniques students can utilise: Pomodoro Technique: helps break up tasks into 25-minute increments Time boxing: contains each task to a present time frame for focusing on doing as much as possible. Time boxing may

help chip away at a task over time, with small steps that provide value along the way, before moving on to the next time-boxed task.

Time blocking: breaks a large project into prescheduled bite-sized tasks on the calendar Practice self-care for the body and mind What helps students feel relaxed and cared for? Try making a list of their stress relievers.

Here are some ideas to consider when getting started: • exercise, such as doing yoga or walking • a bath or Jacuzzi soak • a massage • a hobby, such as cooking or creating art • meditation or prayer for spiritual fulfilment Changing a student’s relationship with stress is possible. Working on how they manage and perceive stress can be efforts well spent for both their physical and mental health.

Students need to talk about what they’re going through with a family, friends or counsellor can help reduce feelings of isolation and maybe even help them feel a little calmer about their studies.

We are eagerly awaiting their arrival, and keen to welcome them to our closed-knit community.

ne of my personal travel highlights is experiencing the Canadian Rockies with my Mum. I don’t think you can truly appreciate the true beauty of the region without seeing it firsthand. From the mountains to the lakes, the incredible wildlife and the iconic hotels spread throughout the region, it really is a muto on anyone’s travel list.

T I N A’ S T R AV E L S

The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Canadian Rockies stretch for 180,000 sq km through British Columbia and Alberta and can be visited at any time of the year with the warmer months of May to September being more favourable to us Aussies.

You can access the Rockies by air via Calgary or by the iconic Rocky Mountaineer rail journey.

With three different rail itineraries the Rocky Mountaineer is certainly a must for anyone travelling to this region. The most popular of the 3 itineraries is the ‘First Passage to the West’ which has travelers spending the night in the riverside town of Kamloops. As the train rolls into Kamloops, you are greeted by Canadian Mounties on their horses and it’s truly a sight to behold. Onboard there

are two services you can choose from, Goldleaf and Silverleaf, which both offer a wonderful experience but, in my view, if you’re travelling all that way Goldleaf is a must!

With 3 prominent destinations – Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff – you can easily spend 7-10 days enjoying the spectacular views and sights that make up this region. Remember, there are no traffic jams in the Rockies – only ‘bear jams’.

When driving the region either as a passenger of a coach tour or driving yourself there will be many occasions where you will need (want!!) to pull over and watch a bear and her cubs or

various other wildlife crossing the major roads and highways as they awake from the winter.

The months of June and July are spectacular wildlife viewing as spring is birthing season for many large mammals in the park and you will often see elk, mule deer and moose with their newborn calves .

Air Canada will recommence their direct service from Brisbane to Vancouver in July making this incredible destination so easy to reach so if Canada has been a destination you’ve always wanted to visit, now is the time.

SUPERSTAR PETE MURRAY

‘PUMPED’ FOR SUNSET SERENADE

L

ogan City Council’s Kingston Butter Factory (KBF) Cultural Precinct has received a ringing endorsement from Australian music superstar Pete Murray, ahead of his highly anticipated appearance at the Melting Sunsets music festival.

The So Beautiful singer, who grew up in Queensland and has sold more than 1.2 million albums over his two-decade career, is eagerly anticipating his June 11 performance at the new entertainment venue.

Murray has received 17 ARIA nominations and has had three albums reach No.1 on the ARIA charts.

He encouraged his local fans to join him at the KBF Cultural Precinct for a great night of Australian music.

“The Kingston Butter Factory looks like an amazing place to play a show,” Murray said.

“I seriously can’t wait to get on stage there with my band in front of my home state crowd.

“I really feel my band is one of the finest in the country so don’t miss this show as we are all pumped for this one.”

Melting Sunsets will feature a stellar line up of Australian musical talent, including The Whitlams, Good Will Remedy and Alex Lloyd.

Also on the bill is up-and-coming Loganholme songstress Briana Dinsdale, who will perform tracks from her 2021 debut album, Beginnings.

City Lifestyle Chair Councillor Laurie Koranski said Council was thrilled to be welcoming Australian music royalty to the city’s new, premier entertainment venue.

“Where else would you want to be on a Saturday afternoon, other than right here in our beautiful city, being entertained by some of our country’s finest,” Cr Lane said.

“The City of Logan’s multi-million-dollar KBF Cultural Precinct was designed for performances just like this one so we cannot wait to see the likes of Pete Murray and The Whitlams take to our great new stage,” Cr Koranski said.

“I can’t wait to see City of Logan residents enjoying what will be another fantastic event at our KBF Cultural Precinct.”

“Hosting such iconic Australian performers is a milestone moment for live music fans in our city, who have previously had to travel long distances to see their favourite artists.

“I encourage everyone, but particularly Pete Murray’s City of Logan fans, to make the most of this amazing opportunity.”

Division 2 Councillor Teresa Lane said the KBF Cultural Precinct is an ideal venue to enjoy quality Australian music.

Melting Sunsets is from 1pm on Saturday, June 11. The festival is a fully licensed, 18+ event.

Tickets are available on the Logan ARTS website.

Tickets holders are entitled to free train travel on Queensland Rail services on the day, on presentation of their ticket to rail staff. Timetables are available at translink.com.au.

The Kingston Butter Factory redevelopment was jointly funded by Logan City Council, the Queensland Government and the Australian Government.

Melting Sunsets will be hosted by Jabba Entertainment and Golden Rule, in partnership with Logan City Council.

AND THE WINNER OF

BATTLE OF THE BURGER IS…

I

n April, Logan City Guides put it to the people of Logan to discover who had the Best Burger in Logan! 9 local vendors took up the challenge and competed in the Battle of the Burger to determine who would claim the title.

Over 200 burger lovers went out and voted for their favourite burger and after a monthlong battle, 5 Boroughs in Springwood were declared the winner!

With their burger made for royalty, The King of Queens, 5 Boroughs Springwood won the people's vote.

Third place was taken by The Monte's in Slacks Creek, with The Full Monte Burger. A strong finish after their recent kitchen takeover.

A huge thank you to everyone that took part - from the vendors to those who went out to support these local businesses and voted for their favourite. It was a close race. We realise that everyone has an opinion and a favourite, but let’s keep it classy and show nothing but love to all the participating businesses. Please continue to support these local venues as they put their heart and soul into their food!

Close runner up was the incredible Big Buns in Browns Plains with their juicy Cheeseburger Deluxe!

Keep that in mind today, as forces may tend to pull you away from the fun you’ve been having.

Leo

Jul. 23 - Aug.22 Tension is apt to build to a high level if you aren’t careful about how you use words, Leo. The tricky thing is that forces are going to try to push you and pull you in different ways. You may encourage a focus on the collective, while others worry only about themselves.
