So things seem to have gone all quiet on the blogging front lately – due in large part to all the world cup watching I’ve been doing, and all the sleeping I’ve been hopelessly trying to catch up on. (Massive fail in that regard.) In response to this, I have decided to get my head […]
It’s done. The Socceroos are out of the FIFA 2010 World Cup. Although we defeated Serbia 2-1, based on goal difference, it wasn’t enough to advance to the round of 16. I. Am. Devastated. The reason for this is because I know we could have done it. We had what it takes, we had it […]
If you’re the type who likes to look golden and sun-kissed all year round, say hello to VANI-T Bronzing Custard, your new gradual tanning moisturiser friend in the fridge. Or in the cupboard. Dresser perhaps? This nifty little daily moisturiser has a hint of active tanning ingredient (DHA – derived from sugar cane) that allows […]
So last week I was on annual leave, and pretty much all I did was eat, sleep, watch movies and eat some more (hence the sudden influx of dining posts). As you may or may not know, I love going out for breakfast. Don’t you? And Replete Providore in Hawthorn is one of the best. […]
It happens once every four years, and during that period (depending on the time zones) I am glued to the screen to watch the FIFA World Cup. Currently being held in South Africa, it means sleepless nights aplenty for me as games are on at 9.30pm, 12am and 4.30am respectively. Sorry place of employment, but […]
Noodle Kingdom in Preston = best value meal in town? Stephen Downes thinks so. And I think I’d have to agree. The noodles and dumplings are made fresh in-house; right in front of your eyes you can watch the dough being kneaded and noodle-ified. Cooked al dente – the dumplings are piled on to plates […]
I am absolutely bursting with excitement for the new Bobbi Brown Treatment Lip Shine to come out (on June 13th – only 3 more sleeps). I am a lip product aficionado (seriously – I get back pain from all the lip products I carry around in my bag) and when a new product comes out […]
Yet another amaze-balls place to dine in the fabulous and always surprising, culturally rich city that is Melbourne, Australia. New on the scene (they opened just over a month ago), Earl Canteen have impressed many with their concept of ‘restaurant quality’ sandwiches. Interesting premise, you might say (its just sandwiches, really), but these are not […]
I’ve been pretty slow on the uptake with this one, and only just tried Lindt Chocolat Café yesterday. Considering I go weak at the knees every time I have a dark chocolate Lindor ball, you would’ve thought I’d be on to this a bit sooner, eh? Nevertheless, I finally tried it and sweet enola gay, […]
As you may or may not know, I love movies (here’s the proof) and one such film that I am absolutely bursting with excitement to see, is Inception. Directed by Christopher Nolan (who, in a Troy McClure voice, you might remember from such great films as Memento, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight), it’s described […]
