Beach Holidays
I'm spending the better part of the next three weeks at the beach with my parents.
Every September school holidays, from the time I was 11, we would holiday at Yamba on the Northern NSW coast.
When my brother and I got to uni, my parents swapped their two weeks to two weeks in November. Prior to schools going on holidays but around when uni went on summer break.
So I'm going on my first family holidays in a few years. I missed last year, because I was in the US of A. And the year before I had an internship.
I absolutely love Yamba and cannot wait to spend some time on the beach and maybe add to my bikini collection... (I've always managed to pick up a few pairs, really cheap, in the past. Let's hope that continues!)
Anyway, because I'm here, I only have access to my blog via my iPhone so I'm going to put a hold on the 30 day blog challenge. Posts will resume shortly.

DAY 11: YouTube
Day 11: A YouTube video
I'm supposed to share A video, but how am I supposed to choose just one?!
I'm a big fan of Jimmy Kimmel and his late night talk show, and while I was in LA I went to a taping of his show. Before we were allowed onto set they played some highlight clips. This is where I first saw this clip, and since then I have been showing it to anyone who will watch!!
Another clip I saw that day, is this one:
I've always wondered how he convinces celebrities to do these!?!?
If you want to see the final clip in the series I saw pre-taping that day you can search "Jimmy Kimmel Handsome Men's Club".
Finally, because I think this is insanely clever, please enjoy this Axis of Awesome video!
Are there any YouTube videos that I should see? Please link them in the comment section below!

DAY 10: Food, glorious food!
Day 10: A food that you could live off
That is a tough question! I tend to get bored, easily, in most facets of my life. I know that if I had to live off one food, I would get sick of it very quickly.
Having said that, there are a lot of foods I love, that I could quite happily eat a lot of... Just maybe not live off!
I love sweet potato and capsicum and broccoli. I love steak. I love ice cream and sorbet (particularly sorbet). I love lettuce and carrot and cucumber.
Maybe if I could live off of vegetables or salad, as opposed to one vegetable or one part of a salad, then I could do it... But I'd probably still get bored!
Please share what food you could live off, in the comments section below!

DAY 9: Accomplishment
Day 9: Something you are proud of in the last month
I know I just blogged about my Noosa ocean swim, but something related to that, that I am proud of, is my increased fitness levels...
The last time I did an ocean swim, the short run in the middle of the course nearly killed me... I've never been a runner, not even close. But this time at Noosa, I was able to swim do the run and then swim the second part of the course without even thinking of quitting part way through. I even went past people in the short run.
It's nice to know that even though I didn't do any swimming training, the netball and OzTag I've been playing has helped, even if only slightly :)
I'm pretty proud of that!

DAY 7: my closest friends
Day 7: A photo of me and my closest friends
I'm very lucky to have some amazing friends in my life. I'm not really sure how to determine who makes "the cut" and who doesn't...
I have this collage from an @fatmuslim photo-a-day challenge on Instagram:
These faces are definitely some of my closest friends.
I have my group of girls that I tend to do most things with, whether it's an exercise class, a football match, a dinner, or a girls weekend. It can be all of us, some of us, or just two of us. It doesn't matter we always have a wonderful time. I'm so thankful to have them in my life, my life has definitely been better for having them in it!
Then there is my best guy friend, who I went to high school with. We've definitely had some ups and downs over the 8 years we've been friends. But I'm thankful to have him in my life.
And finally, in this collage, we have my closest friend from uni! We've made some amazing memories thus far, and cannot wait to make many more for many years to come!
I definitely have other people in my life that I consider close friends, but there's only so many photos that will fit in a iPhone collage ;)
Love all of my friends, you know who you are!!!

DAY 5: www.nba.com
Lately, I've been spending a lot of time on the NBA website. With season 2012/13 just tipping off, I've been watching lots of highlights, and catching up on all the latest NBA news.
Not very exciting, but definitely exciting to me ;)

DAY 4: Beach Lion
Day Four: A Photo I Took
I went for a walk along the Noosa boardwalk yesterday afternoon. Each day I'd been to the beach, I'd noticed these awesome sand sculptures. Each day they were different and so incredibly detailed and amazing.
Here's a photo of this awesome lion sculpture!

DAY 3: What I Did Today
Day 3: What I Did Today
Right now, I am currently at Noosa with a wonderful group of friends for the Noosa Triathlon long weekend.
While those competing in the triathlon, aren't doing so until later in the weekend, my event kicked off the festivities this afternoon...
I signed myself up for the Eyeline1000, which is a 1km Ocean swim.
I'm not sure why I continue to do this to myself. This is the third time in the last two years that I've done some sort of Ocean swim. The last two years at Mooloolaba and now this...
After the first year, I swore I would actually train before I did another... Yet, within a couple of weeks of my return to Australia this year, I was back at Mooloolaba and lining up to swim again with no training-this time in almost 3 years... WHEN WILL I LEARN!!
My friend Dave competes in the triathlon event, and after Mooloolaba this year we decided to get in the water and do the swimming training together... We were going really well for awhile there, but then Dave's twin girls made an incredibly early entrance into the world and we just haven't got our acts together since...
So yet again, I lined up for this race with very little training... Ok none...
Maybe by the time Mooloolaba rolls around next year, I maybe, just maybe, may have done a little more training to make this a whole lot easier on myself!!
I'll be sure to update you on the remainder of the weekend at a later date :)

DAY 2: The Meaning Behind "Beerexie"
Day 2: The meaning behind your username
So for those of you who don't know, my twitter and instagram usernames are beerexie. Beerexie comes from my nickname "B-Rex" and this is the story of how I came to be known as "B-Rex"
In February 2011, five friends and I traveled to Japan. We spent a few days exploring Tokyo and then headed to Niseko to ski. While we were in the airport on our way to Niseko, one of my friends was telling us about the idea that your arm span should be the same as your height. So here we are in the middle of the airport, measuring our arm spans up against a wall. When it got to my turn, we discovered that my arm span is a few inches shorter than my height. Almost instantaneously, the boys in the group started calling me T-Rex. The T in T-Rex was then dumped in favour of a B.
I couldn't have "b_rex" or "brex" when I changed my twitter username, so I went with "beerexie" as a homage to my newest and definitely most original nickname!
My nickname also means I get spammed with images such as these:
But it's all in good fun and I love it.
When I told the boys I was staying with in NYC about it, they whole heartedly embraced it and wanted to buy me a shirt with "T-Rex hates pushups" on it.
So there you go, that is the story of how I became B-Rex or beerexie!!
