Home Sweet Home

Much Needed Home Time… I head back to Natal tomorrow (sigh of relief…) I’m ready for home comforts now and to be looked after and treated. Going to miss Cape Town TERRIBLY, as always, but want family time and have Thailand to look forward to. Looking forward to next year now that my job is […]

Early Christmas Party

What a way to start december holidays!!! We had an early christmas dinner with good friends last week – we split the menu, with me doing starters. Decided on doing two Italian anti-pasto platters with melba toasts on the side. I did mini mozzarella skewers, param ham and melon pieces, gherkin and chorizo pieces etc […]

Snacks and Wine with the Gals

I’ve been a bad, bad blogger Things have been ridiculously busy. Between job hunting, moving house, graduating, saying goodbyes; blogging has been back-of-mind! Sorry. Please forgive me On Thursday evening (two weeks ago) us girls had a “Last-Touch” evening – it seems everyone, but me and a few others, are going to Aspen – so […]

Kaylz, otherwise known as Canada, decided to treat herself to a set of fake lashes (the permanent kind) at Mooi beauty salon. A full set which will set you back R690, is a synthetic lash being put on each end of your natural lash. You have the choice of mink or acrylic, with Kayley opting […]

Beluga Catch Up

Feel’s like holidays, but it’s not… Had a much needed girly Beluga lunch. As always – great sushi 🙂 Mac, Kel and Cath Fowlds and Se Meg’s had had her wisdoms out two days before so she opted for a creme bule. Summer has definitely arrived 🙂

Weekend Roll Out

This is definitely going to be a constantly vibey/great coffee hang out. The art on the walls is all local and looks awesome on the wooden slate […]

La Perla, Sea Point

La Perla has been around for ages, and seems to have stood the test of time. A place that people seem to be incredible loyal to, and for such an old-fashioned-in-a-way Italian Restaurant it attracts a very cool Cape Town crowd. I’ve always though of La Perla as a seafood restaurant but thats just what […]

Christmas Stocking Filler Ideas

Stockings are the best part of Christmas (well one of them), not sure if I should be admitting that I still get one… What more would anyone want, a big sock filled with little surprises! Here is a list of a few things I will be wanting/dreaming bout getting. Keeping in mind I leave for […]

Not another restaurant… When someone talks of a great experience at a restaurant or cafe, I am all ears! It’s one way to know, rest assured, that the experience will be good – specially when the referral is coming from two friends whose opinion I can trust. Kel and Lof recommended HemelHuijs and it didn’t […]
