January's Stars

Anita and Pip have a business called Sequins & Sand. (What an interesting name.) If you are into travelling or just getting away for a break these are the girls for you. For those of you in the current northern hemisphere winter this will be something to really look forward to. And gentlemen, this information could really put you in the good books with your better half :)

All you need is one or two quality hours to get organised to go away on summer holiday. Your swimwear is a bit saggy, your sunnies scratched and bent beyond recognition and you really would like to freshen up your summer wardrobe with a few pieces to get you in the holiday mood and mark the occasion in style.

But…by the time the kids are asleep and your work is finally done, the shops are probably closed - that's if you've some to choose from!

Sequins & Sand is here for you. We are busy women, we are always summer and we are 24x7. Whether you're a working girl, a mum or both the very objective of Sequins & Sand is to ensure that those precious weeks you set aside each year are truly memorable, relaxed and you look good and feel great.

Let’s face it, the most important time to look your best is when you are wearing the least! Sequins & Sand is here to provide a practical and stylish answer to the 'beach to bar’ dilemma showing you how to pack light for maximum impact.

During our hectic and ever changing lives, many of us sometime lose our ‘mojo’ (yes…others do too!) eagerly trying to re-discover what looks good on us. Take a peak at ‘See-it-On’ which will hopefully offer some inspiration and set you on your way again. Don’t want to have to think about what you need to get together to go away, then ‘Packing List’ might just be your ticket to the perfect summer break.

Visit Anita & Pip at Sequins and Sand as they have this great area on their site called Freebies and Tips. Take a look around their boutique and have a truly fabulous holiday…because finally, it’s about you.

Kauai: Enjoy the Garden Isle

Like most everything in life, the best things to enjoy about Kauai are free -- or at least pretty affordable. Called Hawaii's Island of Discovery and popularly referred to as "the Garden Island" -- both for good reason -- Kauai's landscape is an enticing, exciting playground for lovers of the environment, outdoor adventure, and Polynesian culture.

Kauai is the Hawaii that everyone wants to experience because of its rich diverse setting that allows you to discover nature's beauty in the tropics. Whether a person is a first-time visitor or has been many times, exploring Kauai is a never-ending treasure hunt of sights and wonders.

The following are 10 enjoyable and interesting ways for visitors to experience and enjoy Kauai.

    1. Explore the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." Waimea Canyon is a sightseer's paradise -- a mile wide, 10 miles long and more than 3,500-feet deep. Take in the stunning views from the lookouts or hike into the crater. The Kalalau Lookout is especially memorable with an unforgettable view of the once cultivated valley that descends 4,000-feet to the Pacific blue. After sightseeing, enjoy a picnic lunch at the top of the crater in Kokee State Park.

    2. Hike Amid Rainforests and Lush Valleys. Kauai is a hiker's dream destination, with spectacular hiking trails that immerse one into the magnificence of Kauai's verdant wilderness. Hikes range from comfortable walks to challenging treks into hidden valleys streaming with waterfalls. A must-do for any serious hiker is the 11-mile Kalalau Trail along the majestic Napali Coast.

    3. See Kauai's Cherished Sites. Prince Kuhio Park was home to Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole (1871-1922), beloved as the "People's Prince" for his tireless work on behalf of Hawaii's people and the last royal heir to the Hawaiian throne. Located near Lawai, this historical setting features the foundation of Prince Kuhio's home, a royal fishpond, a shrine where offerings were made, and heiau (ancient place of worship) where the kahuna (priests) meditated and lived.

    Alekoko Fishpond was built hundreds of years ago for a young chief and once covered 40 acres that was marked by a 2,700-foot long stone wall. Located in the Huleia National Wildlife Refuge that is a habitat for endangered Hawaiian birds, the fishpond is also known as Menehune Fishpond because legend is that it was built by the mythical menehune (little people) of Hawaii.

    The Wailua River is a beautifully scenic area that was once a sacred place in ancient times and reserved for the kings and high chiefs of Kauai. Near the river's mouth in Lydgate State Park are the remains of a heiau that was a place of refuge for those who had broken a kapu (taboo).

    4. Enjoy Kauai's Culture. Hawaii is the only state with its own music, language and dance. On Kauai, the host culture of Hawaii can be enjoyed for free or at little cost. Many hotels offer free hula performances, torch lighting ceremonies, and lei-making courses, among other cultural offerings. Coconut Marketplace in Kapaa and Harbor Mall in Lihue stage free hula shows every Wednesday.

    5. A Birdwatcher's Paradise. For a nominal entry fee, the Kilauea National Wildlife Refuge is a uniquely special setting for bird lovers. Framed by breathtaking views of Kauai's north shore, Hawaii's endangered birds are seen nesting in the cliffs, including the Hawaiian Gallinule, red-footed boobies, tropicbirds, albatrosses and frigate birds. Look to the ocean and you have a good chance of seeing Hawaiian monk seals, green sea turtles and Hawaiian spinner dolphins.

    6. A River Runs Through It. The only navigable rivers in Hawaii are found -- and enjoyed -- on Kauai. Rent a kayak and leisurely paddle along one of the gentle rivers bordered by lush, tropical foliage. Or, journey by riverboat up the Wailua River to the famous Fern Grotto. In this beautiful, jungle-like setting, a natural amphitheater has been formed creating remarkable acoustics.

    7. Discover Kauai's Quaint Towns. Koloa is a historic 19th century plantation town that was the site of Hawaii's first sugar plantation. Every July the Koloa Plantation Days celebrates the town's proud heritage. Visitors will find restaurants and specialty shops amid some of Hawaii's oldest buildings.

    Hanapepe exudes an old-fashioned small-town appeal, with its plantation- era buildings and slow-paced lifestyle. Every Friday evening, Hanapepe's nine galleries open their doors for a night of artistic enjoyment. Stroll along Main Street to see fine art and listen to live entertainment.

    8. A Garden Isle Waterfall Spectacular. Kauai's waterfalls are a year- round display of nature's ability to keep the Garden Isle green and vibrant. In Lihue, one can drive right up to picturesque Wailua Falls. If the 80-foot waterfalls look vaguely familiar, it was a fixture in the opening credits of the 1970s TV show Fantasy Island. In scenic Wailua, Opaekaa Falls is the island's most accessible major waterfall as it cascades into a hidden pool. And it's a wonderful setting to take photos. Opaekaa means "rolling shrimp," which were once abundant in the stream.

    9. Experience Kauai's History. The telling of Kauai's story can be experienced in museums offering intriguing exhibits and artifacts. In Lihue, the Kauai Museum tells the island's story from its formation and the arrival of the first Polynesians to more modern times with the start of the sugar plantation, and the various ethnic cultures that have contributed to its history.

    Also in Lihue, Grove Farm was established as one of Hawaii's earliest sugar plantations, but today offers a museum display of Kauai's heritage highlighting the old sugar days and through the monarchy to statehood.

    Waioli Mission in Hanalei is where the Wilcox family, one of Kauai's most influential families, moved to the island in the 1800s. This historic New England-style home was shipped in pieces from Boston around Cape Horn and today stands as a showcase of koa wood furniture and other artifacts from that era.

    And if that isn't enough of Kauai to enjoy...

    10. Hit the Beach! Kauai has more than 50 miles of gorgeous white sand beaches to choose from -- more beach per mile than any other island in Hawaii! Altogether, 43 white sand beaches beckon to wile away the day. Whether enjoying the fun at Poipu or tossing a towel down in a secluded cove at Anini, Kauai's range of beaches matches the island's diversity. For the more adventurous, rent a snorkel and see the wonders and undersea beauty of Kauai's marine world.

By its very nature, Kauai is a destination to be explored and an experience to be discovered -- a place that encourages loved ones to gather and create priceless memories to last a lifetime.

Success Tip

Every newsletter we bring you a great Success Tip from one of the many contributors to the Experience Seekers Travel Club community.Today's success tip comes from Brad Sugars.

Brad is chairman of Action International, currently the 16th fastest growing franchise in the World and World #1 Business Coaching Company.

We are asked Brad to give us some insight into his world of business coaching.

Why would someone consider using a business coach?

The top three reasons why someone would use a business coach are:

1. Team problems - If you have staffing problems a business coach can assist you in finding solutions to recruit, train and keep good people.

2. Time problems - If you work too many hours or if the business would collapse without you in it, a business coach can help you to find ways to leverage yourself out of your business and to implement systems so that it can run like clockwork without you.

3. Financial problems - If you need to find ways to boost your revenues, raise capital for projects and/or increase your bottom line, then a business coach can help to find cost-saving or profit-increasing solutions to integrate into your business's financial plan.

Most business owners realise pretty quickly that because they don't have anyone pushing them, they tend to slack off a bit, so with an Action International coach, two things happen - they finally have someone to hold them accountable and they have someone with the knowledge base to help them grow in the areas they need to grow.

Creating Winning Teams

Celebrated as the most successful Australian cricket coach in history, John Buchanan says that creating a winning team is about putting simple procedures in place. “In cricket there are precise goalposts you need to pass along the way if you want to win, which business can replicate. These start with getting the fundamentals right, which include selecting the right talent, creating a culture of longevity, sharing the vision with the team and constantly improving your systems and procedures. If you get these basics right from the outset everything else falls into place.”
