S A M CO ST ELLO

My Studio Pilates Journey In 2017, I suffered a life-changing hamstring injury, my hamstring muscle tendon completely tore away from the bone, this injury is known as a Hamstring Avulsion. This resulted in a very long rehabilitation journey where I had to learn to walk again. My rehabilitation included daily physiotherapy sessions which brought me back to a point where I could comfortably walk again.

I am a dancer, I started as a young child, so exercise was always part of who I am, but after my injury, I was left terrified to exercise. I feared that I would reinjure myself or do even more damage to my body.

reformer pilates, he told me that it is an amazing way to increase strength, keep fit and also lose weight. I was hesitant as I have never really stuck to an exercise regime, so I kept putting off starting my pilates journey.

Four years on, and still needing to increase the strength in my leg and increase my fitness levels, my physiotherapist suggested that I try

Fast forward to now and I have been a regular at Studio Pilates Unley for three months, I have also just finished my first 30 Day Studio Pilates Challenge.

THE UNLEY MAG / ISSUE 03 • 2021

I gave myself a goal of 20 classes in 30 days, which equates to 5 classes per week! To challenge myself even further I booked 5.45 am classes to set myself up for the day. I am excited and proud to say I absolutely smashed the challenge! Reformer Pilates has not only changed my physical life, but it has also changed the way I now feel about exercising!

The 30 Day Challenge was a great way for me to set goals for myself, before the challenge I was attending two or three classes a week. My goals were gaining fitness, strength, weight loss, and creating a positive attitude around exercise.

One of my favourite parts of the challenge was putting myself first. Being a mum of three and wife to a man that

never stops means I wasn’t really putting myself first. Having that 45 minutes in the morning to focus on my mental and physical health felt amazing. I loved heading into the studio each morning to smiling, supportive faces who started to feel like friends.

To get started with an introductory package of 6 classes for $60 today scan the QR code now.

I loved the accountability that is also involved in the challenge. You get this sense of accomplishment when you go and mark your name off the board after attending a class during the challenge.

I have always found it so difficult to stay engaged with exercise classes, I would find them repetitive and start to get bored. That is one of the reasons I love Studio Pilates, there are so many different exercises and programs, it feels like no class is the same. I never thought I would be going into a class

hoping for feet in straps, I love the challenge it gives me, and who would have thought I’d be chasing that inner thigh burn!

During the challenge, you also have access to amazing resources including recipes, nutrition guides, meal planners, and workout trackers. The team really does have your best interest at heart and are setting you up for success.

After a class, I love to treat myself with a delicious cappuccino to kickstart my day from The Lunch Club in the Unley Shopping Centre, or if I am planning on sneaking in for a quick lunchtime class, I will head to The Lunch Club and have one of their scrumptious salads, my go-to is the Vietnamese chicken noodle salad!

I can’t wait to continue my Studio Pilates journey; I’m even going to try and get Cosi to come along to a few more classes!

The warmer months are finally upon us and the hottest summer accessory is a new pair of designer shades.

South Australian family owned and operated business Eyes and Vision has been caring for Adelaide’s eyes since 1985.

Their local team scours the world for the very best in eyewear, EyeCare and lens technology, and brings it direct to you.

Their frames and sunglasses range from Parisian Catwalk (Dior, Celine) to London’s finest (Cutler & Gross), to American royalty (Tom Ford and Barton Perreira) right through to politely priced Private Label practicality.

They pride themselves on a comprehensively thorough exam, including an exclusive technology protocol to manage your eye health, followed by an in-depth recommendation to meet all your needs - even the ones Cosi and I didn’t know we had.

Cosi and I were lucky enough to head into the store and pick out this year’s hottest Summer trends straight off the runway guided by Eyes and Vision’s caring attentive team.

We headed in for our first styling session where we were met by experienced style consultants who not only ensure your eyewear perfectly matches your features and personality, they also ensure it matches your lifestyle needs!

I like to think of myself as having effortless style and love my sunglasses to add drama to an outfit but not overtake my look, Cosi on the other hand needs practical polarisation that takes the glare off the road for his outback adventures.

Something that also has enough style that the girls won’t complain about is also a plus.

Cosi and I are also lucky enough to not need prescription sunglasses but for all of our friends that do it’s as easy as bringing your prescription in and the team can review and get you the perfect pair of sunnies to suit your needs.

After an amazing session with the team I walked out with a new pair of stylish Celine black sunglasses that are going to be my summer staple, while Cosi picked up a pair of Maui Jim Castles that are sure to keep the kids happy!

Childhood v ision

and testing their eyes once a year

1 in 4 children have a vision problem severe enough to affect their learning Why do kids need annual eye testing?

What can visual problems look like?

Why come to Eyes & Vision?

Our children won’t tell us that they are having vision problems, as they believe that everyone sees the way they do. Children grow and develop so quickly that we require regular check ups to know that all is on track. As 80% of learning is visual, their vision has a huge impact not only on how your child achieves at school, but how your child feels about going to school and their ability to concentrate. 60% of children who hold a diagnosis around a learning difficulty, have a vision problem. This means their visual milestones should be checked at least once a year.

> an iPad or book held very close

Our Optometrists have a special interest in children’s development. We have a dedicated consulting room for children which is sensory friendly, as well as a kids clinic. We are able to conduct sensory exams and have regular dedicated quiet hours. Our staff have undergone AutismSA awareness training. We frequently co-manage with Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists and other allied health professionals to achieve the best outcomes for every child.

Preventative treatments also exist for issues such as Myopia (short sightedness). If parents are short sighted, your child should be reviewed more often to have earlier access to solutions which can improve sight in the long term and as they grow.

In Review.

G R I L L’D , U NLE Y S H O P P IN G C E N T R E

You can never get enough of burger joints here in Adelaide or anywhere else for that matter.

When Grill’d Burgers recently opened up their restaurant at Unley Shopping Centre, we knew we had to give them a try.

They are all about top notch service and amazing high quality burgers made for all. The best part is they love taking care of their local community but we will get back to this in a second. While it’s still fresh in my head, I’d like to introduce you to some of the burgers I have had here.

First of all, they cater to everyone’s need. Whether it’s a Chicken burger, Beef burger, Lamb burger or Vegan burger.

You name it. You’re on a low carb lifestyle? No problem, they have low cal buns for your burger and trust me when I say, they are so moreish and delicious. You don’t even need to wonder if they provide gluten free option, of course they do!

Let us start with a personal favourite. The Wagyu ‘Sir Truffle’.

20

Who’s a sucker for truffle here? I know I am. So, when I saw this on their menu, I knew I needed to get it. Using aged cheddar, cos lettuce, fresh basil and truffle mayo, this was an easy choice for us. We love truffle and definitely love wagyu. Simple burger with big truffle flavour. How many times did I say truffle here? That’s how much I love it and encourage you to get one for yourself.

We also tried the ‘Hot Bird’ from the Chicken section.

When it says hot, they really mean it. Bursting with jalapeño flavours and chilli relish that really kicks it up a notch, definitely not for the faint hearted! We love the addition of the Spanish onion, sour cream and roasted peppers. Topped with tasty cheese and cos lettuce. We picked the traditional bun for this one.

We don’t often see a burger place with the option of lamb patties so when we saw this on the menu, we were quite intrigued. There were only 2 choices for the lamb and it was tough to pick. However, because we love our pickles and our lovely hostess suggested the ‘Mary’s Kebab’ we went along with it and were so impressed. Presentation wise, taste

THE UNLEY MAG / ISSUE 03 • 2021

wise and price wise! Mary’s Kebab came with cucumber, dill pickles, cos lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion, chilli relish and tahini mayo. We’re absolutely in love with this lamb based burger. Something different and it works. Our palates thank us for this treat. Juicy and tender, we are all for it.

Now to be even more adventurous, we decided to try the plant based burger. We saw the new advertisement for Grill’d featuring “Fable” created by the one and only Heston Blumenthal. We have got to try this. Fable Burger patties are 100% plant based and made from real Shiitake mushrooms which naturally taste meaty. The three new Fable Burger at Grill’d are: Fable Southern BBQ, Fable Spicy Cheeseburger and Fable Truffle. We thought to go back to an original cheeseburger but this time with a vegan twist and since we are doing a healthier version of this burger, well why not pick the low cal buns to go with it. Honestly, we didn’t expect this to be a memorable one but boy we’ve never been so wrong! This was actually my favourite. Don’t be deceived by the look of their low cal buns. In fact, I think the two combined together are the best combination ever.

You don’t feel bloated afterward and the ‘meaty’ mushrooms was out of this world, amazing! Tender, juicy and a hint of sweetness from the natural mushroom flavour when cooked right.

Can’t leave without trying some sides. We got so excited when we saw that they do Zucchini chips. Even better when they do a mix share plate of their Grill’d potato fries, sweet potato and the zucchini chips. The kids were loving it.

Perfect for sharing and everybody gets their favourite chips!

This platter also comes with 3 types of dips. Herbed mayo, sweet chilli mayo and Chipotle mayo.

We also got some HFC chicken bites (Healthy Fried Chicken) they have 3 flavours and because they were for the kids we opted for the Natural bites and the Sticky Honey Soy bites. Next time we will make sure to come back for the Hot Bites! They come in a 6 or 9 pack. And for extra convenience each pack include a skewer for easy eating.

Now going back to what I first mentioned in the beginning, Grill’d has always been about giving back to their community. You need to be a Relish Member to have access to the best benefits including the chance to ‘8 and Donate’.

So basically, after you’ve ordered 8 burgers, you have the chance to take a free burger or donate a meal to someone doing it tough in our communities. I just love that!

Did you know that they are also liquor licensed? Beer, wine, cider and many more! See them at the bar to experience the full range. I just had the most delicious combo of the ‘Sir Truffle’ burger with Rekorderlig for the first time and can I just say that I can definitely get used to that.

I’d really like to thank Grill’d Unley for their hospitality. The crew work so hard to create the perfect meals for their customers. They are absolutely amazing!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Callum Hann and Themis Chryssidis many years ago. I can remember when Callum finished on MasterChef in 2010, he needed to borrow a cheese board and maybe some cheese too! He arrived on my doorstep with Adam Liaw (who won MasterChef in 2010). Needless to say, we took lots of photos with them and were in awe of both of them!

I met Themis not long after that at CheeseFest where he generously graced our cooking demo stage entertaining the masses and has done so ever since. We have gone on to forge an excellent friendship enjoying many afternoons or evenings sharing lunches and dinners or working on projects together over the years.

The talents these two have individually is nothing short of outstanding. What I love is that their teamwork and collaboration complement each other so well, and what

24

they have created in SPROUT is exceptional. Through their differences they can discover an exciting mix of ideas, recipes, and a richness of flavour that can only be explained by: Two heads are better than one!

Callum has also gone on to create his own brand as a TV personality and presenter and has several books (I have them all). Themis is a qualified Nutritionist and Dietician, and his flair for presenting on stage and is a key part of the Sprout Cooking School experience that they have built together.

Plus, both Cal and Themis are proud dads with two amazing ladies in their lives – and they make it all work! Callum and Themis have endless support for Local South Australian producers (myself included - thanks boys!) The care they take when choosing local ingredients for their recipes contributes to their food that is equal parts tasty, healthy, and accessible for all to enjoy.

I have asked Callum and Themis to share their top 4 Christmas recipes with us and I am very excited to prepare these recipes in my kitchen this Christmas.

HOMEWARE TRENDS TO WATCH 2022:

by The Style Hosts The Style Hosts are Rebecca Morse and Marie Kargiotis, school mums who met through their daughters and discovered a shared love of interiors and cocktails. Bec is an established SA media identity and Marie, a sought-after interior stylist. They worked together successfully on several renovation projects, with the natural next step to collaborate with brands which complement their shared interests and expertise - interiors, renovation and lifestyle projects.

GREEN

VENETIAN PLASTER We have just completed Bec’s bathroom renovation and Marie convinced her to render the entire shower, instead of using tiles. It gives a sophisticated, Mediterranean feel to the space and best of all there is no grout to clean!

It’s a look also proving popular in high end accommodation. Kingsford the Barossa has used it extensively from wall to ceiling in its recent extensive makeover.

An affordable option to bring this look into your house is to invest in a rendered plinth or coffee table to display flowers, books and candles.

CURVES It’s time to embrace your curves! Soft lines are in, another trend we reflected in the bathroom, smoothing out any harsh edges and adding a curved mirror.

HOLIDAY PRINTS Since we’ve been unable to travel we have been drawn to prints that portray the beauty and escapism of holiday destinations. Think Slim Aarons, Aquabumps and Kara Rosenlund. You don’t need a big budget, Bec has printed some holiday snaps her daughter took on a pre-Covid family holiday to the Amalfi Coast. Just make sure you take into account the resolution of your pics when choosing which size to print them.

CHECKS Check yourself because they are everywhere right now.

From towels, to table cloths and cushions, it’s the on-trend pattern to update your interior look. From high end to high street there is an option to suit every budget.

Kermit, your time is now because green is having a moment.

You can’t go wrong with adding accents in any shade of green. Think sage and pistachio, or if you are feeling adventurous go for the traditional primary colour brought back to life by the accessories of Italian luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta.

Even more essential to the process of going green is committing to shopping sustainably wherever possible. It’s worth spending a little extra on homewares products that will last, and not end up in landfill. Look for refillable options when shopping for your kitchen, laundry and bathroom products.

RAW BRASS Fittings and fixtures in raw brass are part of a trend towards a more organic, natural look in homewares.

This look will patina with age.

And there’s nothing wrong with the ageing process right?!

OUTDOOR SHOWERS What were we just saying about being unable to travel? It means we’ve had to be clever in creating that holiday vibe at home. Nothing says summer like being able to come back sandy and salty from the beach and jump under an outdoor shower. Using exposed stone and timber helps blend the shower fittings into the natural environment.

Surround it with greenery that you won’t need to worry about watering, the shower will do it for you. Just make sure your neighbours don’t cop an eyeful if you’re stripping the bathers off!

6 steps to organise your pantry New year, new pantry? There’s something about the start of the new year that has us full of good intent and new beginnings. If you’re itching to get organised in the kitchen, check out our top tips and you can live 2022 like Marie Kondo!

1. - TAKE EVERYTHING OUT Empty your pantry, throw away any expired or unwanted items, and give the surfaces and walls a good clean. Be ruthless! Don’t give precious real estate to stuff you’ll never use, and check for

THE UNLEY MAG / ISSUE 03 • 2021

anything that’s expired or spoiled by air exposure.

2. - CATEGORISE EVERYTHING Now you’ve emptied your pantry and binned the rock-hard sugar and floppy biscuits, it’s time to sort everything into categories. For example: • Baking goods, cereals, cans, and jars • Spices, salt, pepper, and oils • Packaged food, jars, refills, and larger items Group food types and cooking items together to suit your lifestyle and designate an area of the pantry for each group.

HOME

3. - CHOOSE YOUR PANTRY CONTAINERS Now you’ve sorted your pantry items into categories and areas, it’s time to choose the perfect containers.

The type and size of containers you choose will depend on the type of item you want to store (loose, packaged, dry, wet, etc.) and the amount you need it to hold. Check your shelf height and depth to make sure the containers will fit, and be sure to invest in airtight containers. You can find a wide range available at Woolworths or Coles in Unley Shopping Centre.

4. - ADD SMART SPACE SAVERS Tiered shelves, Lazy Susans, spice racks, and stackables are a simple, instant way to add more space and functionality to even the smallest pantry. Try using shelves and racks for better visibility in those tricky, hard-to-reach areas and maximising corner pantries.

42

5. - USE BASKETS Baskets are a simple, cost-effective way to store large, bulky, or less-used pantry items. They come in a range of colours and sizes, and they’re perfect for dry packages food like crackers, kids snacks, baking supplies, and refills. You can easily pull them out to see what’s inside, or use labelled acrylic or bamboo tags if you prefer to label your pantry.

6. - LABEL EVERYTHING If you want a perfectly organised and pretty pantry, there’s no better way to finish it off than with personalised labels!

Start by making a list of the items you want to label then choose the sizes, colour and font, and order some online or have a go at making them yourself!

Summer is calling...

Don’t forget SPF protection underneath or formulated in your foundation/BB during the warmer months. Use SPF that are designed to be used on the face and underneath your makeup to prevent unwanted shine.

Don’t be afraid to use a pop of warm colour on the eyes. I am loving the citrus tones at the moment. Keep it simple and effortless with one matte tone blended out across the entire eye.

Get that sunkissed glow with bronzer over the cheeks, top of forehead, end of nose and end of chin. Apply a little peach toned blush over the cheeks for even more dimension and glow. For fairer skinned beauties there are some cooler/fairer bronzers available or skip the bronzer and use a little peach blush instead.

“When you’re sipping on your cocktails, less is more. Try a lip stain topped with a gloss and always use a straw”.

My favourite finds for recreating this look:

HEALTH

ASK THE EXPERT

Staying strong and getting through the silly season The Silly season is a fantastic time to unwind, connect with friends and family and let our hair down. It’s unfortunate that a by-product of this ‘holiday mode’ can also be a holiday from the habits and routines we’ve spent days/months/ years trying to implement. Here are a few tips to stay on the path, while chaos may be raining down around you.

We asked Seb Guilhaus to share a few tips to help us survive the chaos…

Have a plan for your exercise routine.

Exercise is key for physical and mental health. Team up with friends or new like-minded people and plan day by day to train through December and January. It’s much easier to battle temptation and stay motivated if you have a committed team around you. There are gym classes, sport programs or if you’re on the road or relatively shy, LIVE online programs (like mine available) which allow continued training all year round in a safe community environment.

home and look after the pets when you go on holidays.

A routine however may suffer from holiday-itus. No matter the time or place, we can always control the controllable.

If you’re stressed, write down a list of everything that’s bothering you, cross off what is uncontrollable and focus on the controllable. On top of that, we can watch water intake, exercise, sun exposure, journaling, reading, meditation, and communication with close people, are some of the ingredients required to keep us functioning at our best. These things are portable and therefore our health is.

Battling the massive feasts and flowing drink.

How do we hold ourselves back from all the yummy food and alcohol which seems to present itself toward the end of the year? I have a saying: “There are no good or bad foods”. To enhance our relationship with what we consume, we need to stop framing things one way or the other. If we are drinking plenty of water, exercising daily, getting sun, and sleeping well, it’s okay to have a few larger, more extravagant, meals. Alcohol and processed foods shouldn’t be consumed 24/7 but they should also not be sent to the naughty corner for shunning.

Routine or lifestyle?

The way we frame, and process things can be the be-all or end-all to our consistency. A healthy lifestyle doesn’t stay

Megan Potter Cousins Megan Potter and Mandy Hawtin started working together 4 years ago and have loved their journey of taking clean beauty from their kitchen counters to their family and friends, and now the general public, with their certified organic makeup, skin and hair care range, Megan Potter.

The Unley Mag. caught up with the ladies to find out more, and ask their advice on how to make sure your makeup lasts through the hot summer days…

THE UNLEY MAG / ISSUE 03 • 2021

Why Certified Organic?

When we think organic we think chemical free, but certified organic is a wholistic approach to the growing, handling and processing of ingredients. The whole system is linked – soil, plants, animals, food, people, and the environment – so your approach should look at the entire system. Otherwise how do you know that everyone along the supply chain is acting with integrity? Each step in our supply chain for our certified organic products is independently audited, from the farm to your bathroom.

warm to hot water to remove all the excess oil and gently rub your face as you remove the cleanser. This action will act as a gentle exfoliant. Then apply a facial oil to moisturise your skin.

When you choose Certified Organic you are assured that every link is rigorously tested and held to the highest international standards, such as biodegradable practices, animal cruelty free, minimal processes, no child labour and no unethical labour practices and ecologically sustainable.

Now it is time to apply your foundation. You might like to add an additional layer, and use a small fluffy brush to add additional foundation powder to areas that need concealing, such as your eye area and around your nose.

Which of your products are the most successful and why?

The clear favourite is our Organic Gentle Cleansing Oil. Mandy - I have to say I can’t live without this product! I chose organic camellia seed oil as the base as it’s naturally abundant in vitamins A, B, C D and E, collagen and antioxidants. It also promotes lash health and is beautiful to use. Cleansing with natural oil is a game changer. If you have never cleansed with oil give it a go. You can start by using the coconut oil you have in your pantry!

In the Morning In the morning apply facial oil only if your skin needs it. If you are using a quality facial oil you will probably be able to skip this step. Apply a primer, and allow a few minutes for it to settle before applying your foundation.

After you have applied all your makeup set your foundation, bronzer and /or blush for the day using a Setting Powder.

Pat all over your face gently as to not ‘move’ your other makeup products.

What new products are coming up in 2022?

We are very excited to extend our hair care range to include products that love curly hair!

Mandy is also working hard to transition some of our natural products to certified organic, including our natural tanning lotion and body lotion.

Making sure your makeup lasts the day: Creating the perfect base The Day Before Creating the perfect base starts the day before. If you have an important day coming up make sure you drink plenty of water the day prior, and get plenty of sleep. I talk in detail about the importance of sleep in my Beauty Sleep fact sheet.

Take your setting powder with you so you can touch up any shine throughout the day and into the evening.

My biggest tip for making sure your makeup lasts all day is to consciously make sure that you don’t touch your face.

Adelaide Property Market The year that was.

The year to come.

The Australian property market has never been hotter.

and wondering what’s in store for the property market in 2022.

It is certainly no secret that property values have risen in almost every market around the country over the past year.

In the past 12 months, Adelaide in particular has seen a 20.1% increase in house prices, a 5.6% increase in the past 3 months and a 2% increase in the last 2 months alone, resulting in Adelaide having one of the most profitable capital city property markets in Australia (*Source: CoreLogic Pain & Gain Sep 2021 Report).

As the year draws to a close, and we see the end of unexpected COVID lockdowns, buyers and sellers alike are looking towards the year ahead

This unprecedented rate of growth for the Adelaide market has resulted in many areas experiencing prices never seen before, with standout suburbs including Goodwood, which experienced a 76.86% growth in the last 12 months, closely followed by Fullarton and Unley (*Source: Valuer General’s Price Data for 2021).

With borrowing costs lower than ever and the reassurance that interest

rates won’t rise for some time yet, it’s reasonable to expect that Adelaide’s property market will continue to perform strongly in 2022.

members, the Vault continues to be one of the most effective ways for buyers to secure a property before it even hits the market.

While continued growth is expected, early predictions suggest that, nationally, price growth will ease to 7-8% in 2022, with Adelaide expected to slow to 5%.

How does it work? Members receive email and text alerts when suitable properties are added to the Vault that matches the criteria of their property preferences. They are then invited to private and VIP inspections of the properties. On average, there is more than one home sold through the TOOP VAULT each week.

So, the question remains…what can buyers do to increase their chances of successfully securing a property during a property boom?

The answer? The ToopVault!

The TOOP VAULT is a discreet, targeted method of selling a property off market.

Since the campaign’s release in 2013, and with more than 19,300 registered

A recent example, from November 2021, of a property sold off market through the TOOP VAULT, is 27 Davenport Terrace, Wayville.

The day after being released on the Vault, there were already 1,705

registered members invited to the exclusive viewing of the property, with 32 groups attending the inspection.

Multiple offers for the property were received and nine days after its initial release on the Vault, it sold unconditionally off market, achieving a new suburb record.

With over 40 years of industry experience, TOOP+TOOP always strive to achieve exceptional results for the community, and this is a prime example.

Lockdown to Luxury It’s not every day, you get the chance to take to the skies in a helicopter over the Mamanuca Islands, head out on a River Safari, learn to surf, and sit back and sip cocktails on a private island… all as part of your job! It’s what dream jobs are made of, right?! The Unley Mag. caught up with Brent Hill, the new CEO of Tourism Fiji to find out how he is coping with island life following his recent move from Adelaide.

“Hi, I’m Brent Hill. I’m 44 and I live in Fiji with my wife Kellie Newstead.

I’m the CEO of Tourism Fiji. I was born in Adelaide, and recently lived there before moving across to Fiji to take up the role, in the middle of 2021. In my career in Australia I worked across a few capital cities before heading back to Adelaide where I worked in a variety of roles, most recently as Executive Director of Marketing for SA Tourism Commission, a role I really loved with an wonderful team. It was a privilege

to work at SATC, and looking back now I think there were many highlights – we made an incredible piece of work called ‘Rewards Wonder’ that took us all over the State, the Great State Voucher scheme was a great success, but perhaps the work I’m most proud of was the ‘BookThemOut’ campaign that we ran in response to the 201920 bushfires in the Adelaide Hills and Kangaroo Island. Such a difficult campaign to achieve, but it meant so much and was such an emotive time

for everyone, but incredible to see the results that came from that campaign.

Kel and I have always loved to travel, experiencing new things and taking on challenges. Moving to Fiji in the middle of a pandemic, at a time when COVID was still pretty prevalent was definitely a challenge! I’m sure you can imagine how difficult it was just to leave Australia – we left when SA was in lockdown, so that was really tough, and then we had to get settled

in Fiji which was also in lockdown, but it has been everything we wanted, and so rewarding, especially as things started to open up. There have been many surreal moments – going to Sydney International airport and it being completely empty bar our flight, meeting and being in quarantine at the same time as Fiji’s gold and bronze medal winning rugby players and hearing their singing every day, and then living in a resort (the beautiful Radisson Blu) where there were about 10 guests only! It has been surreal, but incredibly beautiful. We have been so welcomed, and the work of reopening Fiji has been so challenging, but exciting as well – given we now have a date – 1 December!

What has been challenging is the sheer magnitude of the task. Fiji is made up of 330 islands, and many resorts are scattered far and wide. To work out the logistics of how we can welcome guests again safely, the testing regime and keeping everyone safe and moving around, while at the same time maintaining our famous Bula spirit has been a huge challenge. And, we’re doing it on limited staff as of course we’re still emerging from COVID, so don’t have the resources we once did!

Adapting to Fijian life has been one of the things that we’ve enjoyed the most. They have a wonderful spirit of taking each day as it comes… as the saying goes – “sega na leqa” – no problem! They know that storm clouds will come but they’re followed by sunshine. It’s been a beautiful experience learning this culture – we have started learning the language too and playing our part in getting Fiji back on its feet again. There are things we miss like our friends and family, watching things live like sport, theatre

THE UNLEY MAG / ISSUE 03 • 2021

and music and the just how spoilt for choice you are in Adelaide, but here in Fiji we have incredible weather, the resort type lifestyle (we live in a beautiful community surrounded by a golf course and canals), and the world class tourism product. Literally on our doorstep is some of the most pristine water and reef systems I’ve ever seen, and some amazing accommodation options and private islands that we’ve been lucky enough to stay at.

I think in 2022 the world will really open up further. I can see the travel boom happening in the Southern Hemisphere that happened in the Northern Hemisphere summer. Australians are desperate to have a real holiday overseas, I think. I didn’t realise how much I missed that until we got here. Yes, Australia is beautiful and holidaying in SA and Australia for the past 2 years has been really special, but there is nothing like experiencing a new country, taking it all in and truly relaxing for a few days before getting into some adventure and fun! I think also we all just want to feel joy and happiness again. To feel human. To experience the kindness of real service – the Fijian way. And I think travelling opens up the mind – it makes us appreciate

what we have and gives us broader perspectives.

I think Fiji is perfect for that first overseas holiday. Its close, convenient to get to, with incredibly good value packages on offer thanks to Government initiatives and airline pricing, and in Fiji you can do as much as you want or as little as you want. We have what the world needs emerging out of COVID – beautiful world class accommodation with stunning outlooks everywhere you go, something for everyone – from couples and families to solo travellers, adventurers or relaxers. And we’re safe. 90% of Fijians over 15 are fully vaccinated, and we’ve developed the CareFiji

Commitment which will ensure everyone is looked after as best we possibly can. And most of all, if Adelaideans come to Fiji they will be coming to a place that will value every tourist. Tourism means so much to Fiji, and you will be welcomed with open arms. In Fiji, we’re open for happiness!

Home now is here in Fiji and we love it. But we will always love Adelaide and have a special spot in our hearts for South Australia. See you in Fiji!”

Electric for Everyone in 2022 Having taken the significant leap to embrace MG as the master brand for Hamilton Automotive in late 2019, Hamilton was committed to aligning itself with a make of car that provided affordability, fun, and luxury to the mainstream Australian market. After all that is what Holden had delivered to Australia for over 50-years. “For us it wasn’t about changing the formula we wanted to be able to maintain our offer and level of service and that included affordability, technology, style and reliability, and that’s what we’ve been able to successfully achieve.” Said Sally Hamilton, Dealer Principal for Hamilton Automotive.

which launched in Australia late in 2020 MG is now trailblazing electric vehicles and launching two new variants with bigger batteries, increased driving range, a new look and boosted technology. Clearly pitched at the mainstream driver it will rival the competition and Hamilton MG will be ready to deliver in July 2022.

So while many of us remember the MG as being synonymous with the spirited, sleek James Bond sports car from Britain, today the iconic octagonal badge serves a different kind of motoring ambition. The modern MG now offers an affordable range of SUVs and the single city car sized hatchback popular with first car buyers, young

families and retirees. “We see a huge diversity of people in the dealership, it’s a credit to MG they really have catered for everyone, so for us we’re really excited about the new Electric Vehicles that will be available in 2022.” Said Hamilton.

So why is the popularity for electric vehicles increasing “For years, the idea of electric vehicles seemed like a distant fantasy but with MG and other car manufacturers investing in the technology we can expect for the majority of vehicles to be electric within the next 20-30 years. The refinements mean that electric vehicles can now travel hundreds of kilometres off one charge. Performance has significantly improved, and of course globally Governments are encouraging car manufacturers to invest in refinements and technology to make electric cars. So the move by MG to launch an affordable electric car is testament to them wanting electric to be for everyone and it makes sense.”

attracted to an economical small car, the 5-door hatch comes with all the technology and is priced at $17,990 driveaway - what’s not to love.

Sally is one of the the first female Dealer Principals in the automotive industry in Australia and has seen a lot of firsts in her career, asked what she is looking forward to in 2022.

“Aside from moving past masks and social distancing - its funny to reflect because an electric vehicle has been talked about for over two decades, so it’s really nice to see it starting to emerge and to offer an MG that will appeal and be affordable for mainstream car buyers in Australia”

That’s not to say that this is dampening demand for traditional vehicles, in fact the MG3 Core is proving to be one of the most popular entry level cars for first car buyers and for those people who are keen to down size or just

A BEACON OF LIGHT ADELAIDE’S HUB OF CREATIVITY, WITH A CONSCIOUS. LIGHT is Adelaide’s newest home for innovation, creativity, and hospitality.

The enterprise is not-for-profit organisation and registered charity designed to be a beacon for creativity while maintaining a focus on the wellbeing of its people. It began with a significant injection of philanthropic capital from its founders and aims to be self-sustainable in perpetuity.

Light’s vision is to provide a home for accessible excellence and innovation in creative expression, the arts, entertainment, hospitality, and related technologies.

In late 2020, the 150-year-older multi-level building at 63 Light Adelaide was transformed.

LIGHT is home to four venues including performance space, THE LAB and award-winning restaurant, AURORA. Revenue generated from these venues is folded directly back into supporting innovation, creativity,

and hospitality.

An experience at Aurora Restaurant, is more than fabulous meal of proteins cooked over a custom-made braai or fresh South Australian seafood – it’s an opportunity to eat well and give back. Led by Chef Brendan Wessels, staff are paid properly and encouraged to learn on the job.

Music SA Chair, Anne Wiberg curates The Lab – a multigenre immersive performance space that supports art and culture. The walls are LED screens, designed to transport guests. The space is dynamic, and interesting for performers and guests alike.

Light Co-founders, Nick and Sophie Dunstone are humble.

The couple have shown significant vision in establishing this project, particularly in the face of an ongoing global pandemic.

This model of enterprise is a world-first, but the Dunstone’s knew it belonged in Adelaide.

Adelaide is setting the global tone of creativity and innovation, and LIGHT reflects this.

Nectar Promises Great Coffee & Change For Women A new South Australian female-based coffee brand has launched and it’s here to #brewchange and The Unley Mag. couldn’t wait to find out more…

The coffee industry is one of the largest industries facing gender inequality with only a small number of female-owned businesses and women in senior representation, despite 70% of labour in coffee production is provided by women.

Nectar Coffee Roasters aims to help shift this gender gap and take the coffee world by storm with their equally delicious coffee blends that are guaranteed to become a pantry staple.

Owned and operated by three young women, Coffee Technician, Mia Umeko, Marketing Guru, Georgia Lake, and the ultimate People’s Person, Alia Nazri, Nectar produces premium speciality coffee, while also supporting and raising money for female-aligned social causes, donating 5% of its profits annually to a women-focused charity chosen by its community.

Having worked in the hospitality industry for a number of years, Coffee Technician, Mia Umeko, developed a deep interest in coffee, roasting, flavour profiles, and the male dominancy in the industry. With a strong eye for design, Mia then decided to combine her two passions and wondered how she could contribute to Adelaide’s coffee scene with a difference.

Mia then approached her two friends she met at co-working space WOTSO with the business idea and they were quick to jump on board.

“The three of us have pretty similar values and we’re all very passionate about coffee and making a difference in society, which is why we work so well together,” Mia said.

“We want to join the existing women in the industry and show others they can do this too. But most of all, we want to give everyone an opportunity to be an activist and support them through conscious consumer choices,” Georgia added.

Nectar Coffee Roasters uses high-quality green beans that come from traceable and ethical suppliers who have a relationship and rapport with their farmers. For even consistent roasts, their well-rounded, high-quality green beans are roasted in an air roaster where beans are suspended on a fluid bed of hot air.

Currently, Nectar offers five coffee varieties, each possessing their own feminine identity and packaged in bold, colourful designs. All blends are available to purchase through their online store – nectarcoffeeroasters.com.au
