If you’re expecting for the first time, there’s a couple of things you can be sure to hear: “Enjoy your sleep while you can” (It’s already not that enjoyable, thanks) “Go out as much as possible while you still can” (Ja, ‘cos money grows on trees, hey) “Make sure you go all natural for birth/breast … [Read more…]
It’s no secret that I LOVE Mugg and Bean. I’ve had so many easy cappuccinos in my life, I’m sure my financial contribution has helped to open more than a few branches. When I received an invite from Hungry for Halaal to check out Mugg & Bean’s new summer menu at their fully halaal Kenilworth Centre branch, … [Read more…]
So, you’re a South African local that’s never seen the big 5? Shock, Horror! Actually, it’s not surprising at all. Game drives are notoriously expensive and many of us would have to consider selling a kidney before thinking about staying on a wildlife reserve.

I must admit when walking in the mall , I did not expect such a warm and cosy restaurant to be located there. As I entered the restaurant, It felt like walking into another … [Read more…]
I had this song by Toya Delazy playing in my head most of the time I was in Bangkok: Bangkok isn’t technically “my city” but I loved it anyway. I can’t put my finger on what exactly – maybe it was the buzz, the heat, the food, the shopping, the lifestyle, the numerous massages. I’m … [Read more…]
We were delighted to be invited to the Zomato meetup at Sabria’s restaurant on Wednesday evening. I must admit, bloggers get excited to try out new restaurants. In all honestly, I didn’t even know Sabria’s existed till that evening. I have always known about Cosy Corner (same owners as Sabrias) and spent most of my … [Read more…]
