Congratulations to Margaret Forsyth-Snodgrass, who is celebrating 35 years with Forsyth Real Estate. Born and bred into real estate, Margaret is the granddaughter of Robert Todd (RT) Forsyth, who founded the Willoughby agency in 1898. Since she joined the family-owned company in 1980, she has played an integral part in its continued growth and success. Usually to be found at the reception desk, Margaret is very much the public face of Forsyth Real Estate, and she’s also involved with all aspects of the company’s operations and development as Co-Director with her son, James Snodgrass. Based on the company’s original philosophy of “the client’s best interests above all” and a commitment to honesty, professional service and innovation, Margaret and James have continued to build Forsyth Real Estate’s reputation as one of the most respected real estate companies on Sydney’s North Shore.

The Forsyth family has lived on the North Shore since 1865, and Margaret is the keeper of many memories, stories and photographs of the company’s history and the Forsyth family’s involvement in the development of Willoughby as a municipality. She has also continued the company and family tradition of working with and for the local community, both through involvement in service organisations and more personal

“neighbourly” support. Margaret’s extensive volunteer work across a number of areas was acknowledged with Willoughby Council’s Citizen of the Year in 2009 and in 2014 she was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the community of Willoughby.

Creating Emotional

Connection

Real Estate is one of the the most emotionally charged financial transactions a person will make in their lifetime as both a seller and a purchaser. With one party leaving behind a home and the other trying to imagine themselves living in a new one. As a vendor you don’t want to strip your property of all things that make it a home, yet the energy of the space needs to often be opened up to help buyers feel drawn to the property and feel there is room to make it their own. We all know that feeling of walking into a home and just feeling comfortable and at ease. Like you could visualise yourself spending time there with your loved ones and relaxing enjoying daily life. It is often a feeling of calm and warmth, with a sense that everything has its place, a generally inviting energy with a level of consideration in aesthetics that shows the home is truly loved and cared for. This is the type of space that connects with buyers hearts not just their heads.

Styling your home as a home owner can be an effective way of presenting an appealing space that is both homely and broadly appealing to open up the hearts of your prospective buyers. This can be done with the elements you have in your home by simply adding where needed and reducing clutter in others. Top 3 Tips for emotionally connecting with buyers:

ADD COLOUR The addition of colour to your home is something that will instantly spark buyers attention. Aim to create a continuity of colour through your home to give it a feeling of considered care. Not only will this make for a suite of marketing photography that coordinates in print media and online, it also creates flow as the buyer walks through during open houses. By no means does every room have to match exactly, small touches such as a chosen accent colour in a cushion, throw rug, cut flowers or artwork can be added to subtlety tie each space together.

19

ADD FRESHNESS & DETAILSimply put nothing beats the addition of fresh flowers and plant life to instantly lift a space making it feel alive and loved. This attention to detail doesn’t need to be over the top expensive styled vases of flowers, simple cutting from the garden in a bud vase on the beside table or vanity can be just as appealing if not more so as the heart of the action is evident. If you are not a green thumb there are a wonderful variety of artificial pot plant and flowers available today that will also give you the desired effect. There is just something about living elements that people are drawn to. Ultimately you want buyers to fall in love with your property. The better a space looks and feels the more likely this will happen. *

REDUCE CLUTTERThere is nothing worse than walking into a messy house as a buyer. The simplest and more cost effective way to prepare your home is to clear the clutter. Treat this as the initial step in packing and a chance to purge the items that no longer make you happy! This opens up the energy in the house, lets the air flow into the corners and gives you a change to start feeling organsied. Bathrooms, laundry’s and kitchens are often the location for a build up of products in garish plastic bottles covered in branding that do no favours to your finishes. Storing these items out of site in cupboards or if you are lacking hidden storage the addition of decorate baskets can help keep these items ordered and less obvious.

The Safi Beauty Room

With its high ceilings, beautiful candles, and the sunny outdoor extension area set up with tea for two on my arrival, the newly launched Safi Beauty Room is ideally situated just behind Organic Avenues, and sits snugly amongst the beautiful and relaxed suburb of Bilgola- a dream recently realised by local business owner Janine Nicholls.

A small haven of understated beauty, in a fusion of what she describes as “French with touch of Africa” it’s an earthy and elegant haven with a little twist of fun; the fresh towels trimmed with tiny flower sprigs one of the many personal touches indicative of Janine’s refreshing and welcoming take on beauty. Even on first acquaintance Janine exudes warmth and is a walking testament to her healthy approach and pure philosophy towards beauty. With her glowing skin and sparkling eyes the business owner and mother of two lights up when discussing her work, her neighbourhood and her family. Combining her down to earth approach with the high standards she gleaned from working in some of the world’s top spas, Janine’s approach towards beauty is refreshing and inclusive, striving to create beautiful and affordable experiences for her clients.

{ local business }written by Sally Turier

Launching back in December Janine knew immediately that she’d found the perfect location, with adjoining store Organic Avenues just next door. Attracted by their complementary pure ideologies (Safi means ‘pure’ in Swahili) the proximity also gives her clients the option to indulge in an organic tea or treat before popping next door to receive one of her many relaxing treatments.

Not always a Bilgola local, Janine grew up in a small, tight knit community town near South Africa’s Kruger National Park where, she laughs, “everyone knew everyone”. It was here that Janine commenced her career working in the neighbouring area for both local clients and travelling safari tourists, before setting off to pursue her dream of working in high end spas around the world.

After travelling and working extensively throughout Europe Janine fulfilled her dream to practice in the rather glamourous Notting Hill, daily rubbing shoulders with the local glitterati (her first regular client was British model/singer Sophie Ellis Bextor). An exciting and slightly surreal season of her life, she recalls it provided fantastic training, and it was during this time she met her ex-pat Northern Beaches husband, resettling with him in Australia 8 years ago.

Her past wanderlust is beautifully reflected in The Safi Beauty Room design- a culmination of her travels reflecting the many places she’s worked - however it’s clear her heart is well and truly tied to the place she and her young family now call home.So what’s the best bit about Bilgola for a self-confessed summer-lover? “I love that the locals are really into nature and love bushwalking.” Janine notes. “On weekends ask them what they’re up to and they’re off for long walks with kids.” She also loves the tropical vibe and has observed clients from beyond the beaches often come to Clareville to have their own little mini getaway experience with lunch, a walk and a swim. “We’re very spoilt.” She concedes.

As for Bilgola’s biggest change during her time here? “It’s expanding”, she tells me. “Little by little it’s growing.” Like her own recent venture, local businesses are cropping up and the locals love it. “We can walk to shops, walk to school. It’s just a lovely, cute, local vibe.”

When she’s not treating her clients you’ll find Justine enjoying a cappuccino next door or grabbing a bite at her local favourite Italian restaurant, Cinque Cucina e Café in Mona Vale, a personal favourite for cosy dinner or friends’ birthdays with the added bonus of an easy walk home. *

Highly recommended treatment: The Coconut and vanilla hot stone massage, which Janine describes as “The most indulgent and the most popular, for alleviating stress, worry and tension”.

Domenico [email protected] 399 975

{ artist }

buildyourlightwww.buildyourlight.net

In 2013, Domenico Pizzitola was asked by a friend to design a light. The licensed electrician had always been creative, but building this piece sparked an interest in combining his trade with his artistic side.

Creating electrical pieces of art for family and friends soon followed and Domenico realised that he had the makings of a viable business. Before taking his talent to the next step, the 28 year old was careful in ensuring that his creations complied with Australian safety standards. He then started the company Build Your Light taking commissions from a wide variety of clients.

These lights primarily use copper as a sculptural, stylish yet practical material. Depending on the owner’s preference, the copper can be allowed to age and develop a natural patina, or they can be maintained to stay shiny, sharp and polished. Domenico takes his inspiration from A Winter’s Tale, a film which uses light as a powerful allegory for the human spirit. One character states “everything is connected by light.”

Build Your Light takes commissions to create pieces for the home, small businesses, café’s and restaurants, corporate events and office spaces. Domenico will work closely with clients to create dramatic, beautiful bespoke pieces. *

As we all know, fueling our bodies with all things green is a proven way of detoxing the body. Green smoothies are the latest trend and blending up all sorts of green plants and fruits like kale, spinach and avocados just to name a few, is one of the easiest ways to get the nutrients we need to live a healthy life. But did you know that you can also detox your body with the simple house plant?

Well it’s true. Back in the 80’s, NASA run a study on ways to clean the air in space stations. Results proved the beautiful green indoor plant provided a natural way of eliminating from the air significant amounts of toxins such as Benzene, Formaldehyde and Trichloroethylene. At school, we all learnt, that plants release oxygen, the gas we breathe in, and absorb carbon dioxide, the gas we breathe out, this process is called photosynthesis. It make sense to surround ourselves with plenty of indoor house plants to clean the air we live in daily.

Think back to the days when you were on that beautiful drive through the mountains or country side. You stop, get out of the car to take a few photos and gaze at the views and smell the fresh air. Once out of the car you can’t get enough of that fresh, fresh air. It tastes great, it smells great and it opens up your eyes. How good does that feel. Briohney Anderson from Copper Beech, The Flower Merchant, has been using the humble indoor house plant in her floral styling of properties for sale for years and has some top tips to share with us.

Any space is suitable for a beautiful green indoor plant, however, I love to use them mainly in the bedroom, bathroom and living areas.

At a recent styling project in Mona Vale, Briohney used three different types of plants to not only decorate, but to remove the toxins that can linger within a bathroom. Hanging them in a vase encased in a macramé basket, creates a great aesthetic feature.

Having good quality indoor air is very important, especially since so many of us spend so much time inside. Briohney has a few favourite plants that she finds work well for homes.

The Sanseviera, or Mother-in Laws tongue has long strappy leaves, it’s striking and hardy. The Golden Pothos works well hanging in bathrooms or living rooms and Fiddle Leaf Fig is a beautiful feature plant that is hardy and unique with its large paddle shaped leaves. *

HIGH STREETBakery

Enter the eponymous High Street Bakery on any given day and you’ll find yourself face-to-face with their lively combination of young professionals, retirees, neighbourhood locals and young families; all taking time out to experience, what I soon realise, is a truly unique place.

Upon entering the cafe I am immediately struck by the exposed brick, rustic leather cushions, and cosy, bucolic touches that complement the beautiful fare on display. From the small, wooden sugar boxes to the playful rope-chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the décor is imaginative and inviting; and it’s these small details that give the space a warm and welcoming ambiance that is clearly popular with their patrons. As I chat with their convivial staff member Zac, fellow barista, Sonja,

delivers our coffees to the table with a friendly smile. On closer inspection I realise my humble flat white is replete with a moustached baker wearing an impressively identifiable chef’s hat. How they accomplish this feat with steamed milk and caffeine alone I will likely never know, but my fellow-diner informs me this is a fun and frequent signature gesture of theirs and we share a moment to compare our impressive illustrations.

The far shelves are adorned with every bread imaginable, delectable pastries populate the front cabinets, and to the back of the tabled area is the entrance to their large, open kitchen. And this is where the magic happens. Originally a German bakery when owner Huong Nguyen purchased the business 27 years ago, she also inherited their impressively diverse multicultural team. Drawing on each respective background, as well as her own Vietnamese heritage, the resulting fusion is what Huong describes as an ‘international bakery’, a rare offering where you will find traditional and authentic French, Italian, German, Vietnamese and San Francisco staple

breads, pastries and sweets from bona fide local artisans. In case that’s not enough Huong also keeps the menu fresh with seasonal additions, and enjoys trialling new specials on her regulars, a great way, she informs me, to ensure the creation has passed the most stringent and discerning of tests.

The staff are cheerful and jovial and there is genuine engagement and familiarity with their patrons. The food is exceptional and well-priced and, as I watched the baristas and service team share jokes, it’s apparent I’m observing a happy team who love their job and speak with affection for their customers in a place that’s well worth a stop-in.

Must try: The pork rolls (popular, I’m told, with their tradie contingent) and the newly added pho (pronounced “fahr”), a Vietnamese beef noodle soup and a personal fave of our waiter, Zac. *

Eating With The Seasons

One of the most beautiful things about life is finding and getting in tune with its rhythm. In the cooler winter months it’s time to curl up with warm blankets, cosy socks and cups of organic herbal tea. Mother Nature gets behind the changing of the seasons by producing exactly the right foods our body’s need during each season.

In order to support our health we should eat with the seasons - winter is a time for nourishing and warming meals. It’s a time for slow cooking - think stews, soups and warm salads filled with beautiful root vegetables that not only taste their best, but also give the most nutritional benefit through the winter months.

I see winter as a time to go back to basics. Forget the latest fads and instead give your body simple, traditional, nourishing food. Personally I love winter food. I love the flavours, the spices and the way the food comes from the soil. There is no better time than during these cooler months to explore the joys of home cooking.

Get down to your local farmers market or maybe flex your green thumb and grow your own vegetables in your garden! You will feel more connected to your local community and your home. When we eat seasonally and locally our bodies get in sync with nature’s rhythm and we are able to maintain better balance in our lives. We develop an innate connection to nature and our food and I guarantee you will start to crave more real food (and less junk!) as your body gets in harmony with nature.

Hearty root vegetables are abundant in the winter and add more warmth to our bodies. The energy is grounding and calming within us when we eat these vegetables. That’s why this month our recipes celebrate the joys of winter. We’ve included gorgeous winter produce that will nourish your body and bring you in harmony with nature.

FRENCHS FOREST Market

Upon entering the Frenchs Forest market I felt an instant regret that I have lived in the area for nearly four years and have never visited. In fact up until a few months ago I didn’t even know of its existence. How could I be so far out of loop? I could only draw one conclusion; all of the market followers and organic eaters from the area have conspired against me in order to keep this precious gem all to themselves!! – All twenty-five thousand of them…

I simply didn’t know where to start. My mind was racing as I was hit with so many wonderful offerings. Stall after stall aligning the pathways but which path do I take? Am I going to miss out on something if I don’t move quickly enough? Will the organic fruit and veg look bare and a little limp if I search out the hand crafted fare first? Where’s the coffee? Where’s the coffee? Where’s the coffee??

Like a Sunday market version of supermarket sweep I frantically gathered as much as I could in the hour I had allocated. But a word of advice - don’t do this. This is so much more than a quick market shop; it’s an enjoyable day out. Take the family & friends, grab lunch from one of the many food stalls and a sunny spot on the grassing knoll. Sunday perfection! *

Butlers pantry

When I need a little culinary inspiration I love to pop by Food Estate in Belrose to see what new goodies are in the warehouse. Also chatting with owner-and-passionate foodie James is half the fun! He welcomes every customer enthusiastically and soon has you feeling like your home kitchen could be turned in to a hatted restaurant.

Editor’s food favourites!

This month Arancini is on the menu! This moorish mozzarella filled delight has come a long way from it’s humble beginning as the not so fancy product of left over Risotto and bread.

Place on an oven tray with a light spray of olive oil and pop in to the oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. Keep and eye on them as any longer and they may break open. A perfect accompaniment is the Birch & Waite Tomato Relish, Princi Smallgoods Mild Cacciatore, Eggplant Polette, Wombat Valley Aioli and generous shavings of Grana Padano.

FOOD FACT The name Arancini derives from their shape and color, which is reminiscent of an orange - the Italian word for orange is arancia, and arancina means “little orange”.

the CORN STARS

During my time spent joyfully perusing the stalls at the Frenchs Forest Organic Market, I was drawn to the unmistakable, mouth-watering smell of bacon cooking. The delicious aroma, lead me to two of the friendliest guys you’ll meet, cooking up a storm for their adoring albeit hungry fans.

As I lined up with the masses for a tasty corn fritter feast, I got talking with energetic owner Tamar. After seventeen years in the food industry and ten of those spent as a head chef, Tamar bravely decided to apply his years of experience and entrepreneurial spirit to creating the incredibly popular CornStars. I sat on a cushioned milk crate seat in the warm sun and enjoyed every mouthful of ‘The Greenie’- a delicious combination of corn fitter, broccolini, feta, crunchy kale and topped with the goodness of one of their homemade relishes.

Others from the menu:The Staple - Cornstar’s corn fritters with cripsy bacon, guacamole and corianderThe Cali - Cornstar’s corn fritters with maple bacon,guacamole, pickled jalepenos and house-made ketchup

Catch the guys weekly at the Organic Food Market Frenchs Forest every Sunday, Kings Cross on Saturdays and at The Beaches Market, Warriewood on Fridays. *

About me…I’m a devoted husband and a sluggo wearing dad to three amazing children. There’s nothing I enjoy more than taking photos and eating caramel slice. I’m a people person, a down to earth type, who loves a chat and a beer and the occasional dad joke. I’m hopeful at sunrise and thankful at sunset.

Humans of Northern BeachesI love long walks along the beach and shooting portraits of people on the streets. I’ve met some amazing people along the way. Feel free to follow along. Humans of Northern Beaches, one photo at a time. *
