The Eights – Joanna Miller A delightful read that follows an unlikely friendship between four women who attend Oxford University in 1920, the first year that women were formally allowed to receive degrees. Known as ‘the Eight’ because…

‘Life is better with a Little Italian’ – Pink Mama’s
Pink Mama’s is housed within a beautifully restored home, its painted a signature soft pink. The indoor dining area opens onto a terrace overlooking the Padel courts. Pink Mama’s has that easy-going Italian charm where you instantly feel at home. The menu leans into classic Italian comfort food and us vegetarians have options to choose…

January Book Review
…‘Love is crushing. Love is something you let yourself feel at your own peril, despite your better sense’… I read this book on a Saturday, and I couldn’t put it down, it was that good. A deeply moving story with an intricate throuple. The story follows a young woman nicknamed Daisy, later known as Jordan –…

Exploring Joburg’s Culinary Delights at Mila Restaurant
Food tells a story that imprints memories. One thing about Joburgers — myself included — is that we truly appreciate the good life, and this was clear the day we headed out for a late lunch at Mila Restaurant at LXX in Sandton. From the moment we arrived, we stepped into an unhurried yet vibrant atmosphere, with patrons enjoying business lunches…

2025 Reading!

The stories allow our imagination to travel freely, introducing us to new ideas, perspectives and igniting our imagination. Two years ago, I started being intentional…

Dubai Family Holiday – #TravelTuesday
My #TravelTuesday post is from a trip I took to Dubai . My visits to Dubai have either been in transit or for business, the longest I have ever stayed there was 3 days and I was in training for most of my stay. I never really considered it as a holiday destination. I had…

Coffee, Food, Vinyl – Hard Pressed Cafe
The one thing that I love about Cape Town is the variety of coffee places one can go to. I stumbled upon a place called Hard Pressed Café on Bree Street in Cape Town. Coffee, Food, Vinyl are the core philosophy of this place. The coffee is great, I particularly love the Vinyl section in…

Paris in Hartbeesport (Harties)
Whilst driving through Harties, we discovered French Toast Koffie Kafee a quaint little place with a touch of Paris. Beautiful peaceful setting, with French music playing in the background to create the Parisian café lifestyle. The café even has a mini replica of the Eiffel Tower, Love lock bridge similar to Pont des Arts bridge (which…

Picnic and Wine – Warwirck Wine Estate #FlashBackFriday
#FlashBackFriday is about an amazing picnic experience I had at Warwick Wine Estate that was booked by a friend on our Girls Weekend Away in Cape Town. The concept of the Wine and Picnic is so well thought out, I particular like the relaxed environment, open space and lovely dam. We were booked in one…

The Test Kitchen by Luke Dale-Roberts – #ThrowBackThursday
Like most people who EVENTUALLY get a table at The Test Kitchen, one automatically has VERY high expectations. An intimate restaurant, with lovely interior, an open plan kitchen where one gets to see the Chefs in action. We had the 9 course menu without the wine pairing. Our table had very COMPLICATED dietary requirements. Our…
