It’s Heating Up!
Find your 4 weekly challenges below. This week's Flash Challenge prize is an epic games night collection, valued at over $200!
Challenge One
Can you believe we’re almost half way through October?
It’s been a busy month so far, so let’s slow down a little and indulge in a pampering and self care session. For this week’s Love Language challenge we’re focusing on physical touch.
For your pamper date, light some scented candles, put on a relaxing playlist and try out our edible face mask guide - it’s delicious in every way!
Don’t hesitate to take it to the next level with foot spas and healthy smoothies too.
Following your face mask treatments, take it in turns to master your massage skills with these step by step guides, giving your partner’s head and hands the attention they truly deserve. Bliss.
(Take a photo with your face masks on to capture the memories forever!)
Challenge Two
TEXT ALERT!
Your solo challenges will arrive via text message at surprise times during the week - these are individual challenges so keep them secret - keep them safe!
Challenge Three
Go head to head in a cocktail battle off and create a cocktail that reminds you of your partner.
What flavours do they prefer? Are they sweet or smooth? Experiment with new ingredients and fancy garnishes - presentation is key!
Take a look here for inspiration, and If you’re after some tunes to get the party started, our cheesy cocktail playlist should do the trick!
For the finishing touches, come up with a fun name for your cocktail masterpiece and present them to each other for a taste test.
If you can’t pick a winner, send a photo of the cocktails to fellow Couples Questers and let them choose their favourite OR challenge each other to our Boozy Trivia test for bonus points.

Photography Tips
Want some advice on how to take the best photo?
Give these ideas a try.
Unless you are capturing a backdrop or large piece - try getting in close. Fill the frame with your subject to avoid too much wasted space!
Be aware of backgrounds - don’t let things like garbage bins or a passerby ruin your shot if you don’t want to intentionally include them in it! Change your angle or wait until people have passed by. It will be worth it!
See The Light! Take note of where the light is coming from - does it cast interesting shadows on your subject that you may want to capture or does it just hide the detail you need? Move around to find the best lit angle.
Using the flash isn’t just for night time - sometimes a bright day may create harsh shadows that you don’t like, so using the flash may allow a more even exposure.
Laugh, don’t smile...a well-timed joke will often lead to a more natural looking shot of your subject rather than a forced ‘cheese’
Try framing - is there something you could use to frame your focal point - e.g by shooting through a window or archway?
Keep it simple - try not to pack too much into your shot. Try focusing on one or two points of interest per shot.
