After dedicating the past years to traveling full time, they decided to settle down in Magnetic Island on the Great Barrier Reef in North Queensland, Australia, sharing their island adventures online.

The idea to travel, explains Evie, came after some reflection. “I’ve always thought that in 10 years, my daughter Emmie wouldn’t thank me for installing a brand new kitchen and bathroom in our home, but she would thank me for filling her early years with amazing experiences, learnings, and sights and sounds from around the world,” she wrote on her website.

“I’ve realized that working until I retire and then finally doing what makes me happy is not what I want my life to be about,” she adds. “I don’t want to work all through Emmie’s childhood. I want to enjoy our time together now and learn, explore, and adventure together.”

Her life-changing choice didn’t go unnoticed, with some 110,000 followers on Instagram alone.

We wish the two well on their journeys. In the meantime … here are some enviable highlights from their dedicated Instagram page!

Curl your hair with straws

In this video, Loepsie will show you how to curl your hair with straws whenever you don’t have your favorite curling iron on hand.

Get lighter hair with lemon juice

Did you know you can use lemon juice to lighten your hair a bit and recreate the effect sun and salt have on your hair in the summer?

Add water to conditioner

If you mix conditioner and water, you can spray the mixture on wet hair and make a braid or a bun. They will last longer and look better!

Longer ponytail

You can easily create an illusion of a longer ponytail by actually making two of them and camouflaging one below the other. See how below.

Fuller ponytail

Girls have various tricks for making ponytails fuller. See one of them here.

Brush hair before showering

If you brush your hair before you hit the shower, less of it will fall out as it will not tangle as much.

Or use eye shadows

If you’re not into spending time to make your own hair chalks, you can use bright eye shadows instead.

Get rid of static

A conditioner or body lotion can help you a lot with the baby hair growing from the top of your head.

5. Just love this ol’ bar

The first step towards getting a fine sip of alcohol in your town is going to a legit bar. Anything with flashing neon lights, frat bros puking everywhere, and bedroom DJs spinning the same Top 40 jams over and over again while commanding you to put your hands up just won’t do. Try going for something that won’t give you a migraine while you drink such as a bar with a bit of class or a bar for the average Joe (or Jane.) Think of the bar from Cheers and find a match.

4. Bartenders listen when you talk

Before heading to the bar, you have to understand there are some unspoken rules. Bars can become packed at times, and trying to get some help can be a hassle. Just be cool and simply lock eyes with the nearest bartender. Be sure to know what you want when asked. Nothing is more aggravating than a drinker who has no idea what they want to drink. It’s also a great idea to have a backup beverage in mind in case what you want isn’t available at the time.

3. The drink of shame

There may be a time when you step out of your comfort zone and order a new beer. Situations like this are always hit or miss, but if it’s a complete disaster, you’re basically stuck with your decision. Bartenders aren’t that happy when people decide to send a drink back because of its taste. There are various legit reasons to return a drink, including being served the wrong drink, sipping out of a chipped glass, or green flames shooting out of your drink accompanied by a dark figure hellbent on taking over the universe with your help.

2. I’m taking what they’re giving ’cause I’m workin’ for a livin’

Bartenders tend to make somewhere around $7 an hour, but with odd hours every week, they don’t make enough. Tipping your bartender is always a courteous way to show appreciation, especially if you’re looking to become a regular at the bar. Tipping $1 or $2 for every drink will go a long way.

1. So many choices, so little time

There are several pointers for ordering drinks that you must know. Do not be afraid to order wine because it’s the best choice for those trying to not get intoxicated in record time. Make sure that your tequila is made from 100 percent blue agave; anything less than that will lead to regret. Scotch and whiskey are two different kinds of beasts at the bar, so don’t confuse the two. Also, don’t be afraid to just order a simple can of beer. Bartenders won’t mock you for that. They might mock you for your Ford Pinto, though.
