In one of my recent posts I mentioned one new venue that we opened recently, but we actually have another new baby - yes, that's right, we opened two new venues within two weeks of each other (phew)! Sweethearts BBQ is located on the rooftop of the Sugarmill building in Kings Cross, which also houses Kit & Kaboodle nightclub... and I like it so much that I've been back 5 times in the last 4 weeks!Think sunshine (a ...

Change is in the air. Last week was our first taste of autumn with my favourite kind of crisp mornings, sunny warm days and slightly cooler evenings. I've always thought that Sydney does the change of seasons really well. In the past I've always had great bursts of inspiration around spring, but I must have been too busy to notice last year because it's all happening right now. Better delayed than never! I get the feeling that 25 is going to be an interesting ... Quick Read |

This post is sponsored by NuffnangI used to think of myself as a strictly coffee-only kind of girl, but in the last few years that has definitely changed. Green tea in the morning, Earl Grey in the afternoon and Peppermint at night ? but one thing that doesn?t change is that I love my tea hot, sweet and super strong. Which is why I was excited to try Twinings? new blend, Assam Bold, originating from the region of the same name in India?s north-east. ... Quick Read |

Hello hello. Just a quick note from me today, as I'm guest posting over at my gorgeous friend Steph's blog Raspberri Cupcakes while she is off in Europe on her honeymoon! We're actually going to be in Kuala Lumpur at the same time next week, totally by coincidence - how crazy is that! So I'm looking forward to catching up with her then over many iced teh tariks :) ...

By the time you read this, I'll be on a plane to Malaysia. Wheeee! I'm definitely looking forward to a nice getaway (and my first overseas trip) with the boy, especially after how crazy these last few months have been. When it rains, it pours, right! But don't worry, I have a few great posts lined up for you while I'm gone. I have a confession to make. I can count the times I've made chocolate mousse on one hand. Actually, it's more like three fingers. Which makes me wonder wh ... Quick Read |

I have had Greek food on the brain a lot lately, not least of all because one of our brand new venues at work is a heritage pub in Newtown downstairs and a Greek restaurant called The Animal upstairs. With all the menu revisions making me very very hungry, I was very much looking forward to going and checking it out.Happily, the doors swung open about 2 weeks ago and things are going great guns. The decor is awesome and so ... Quick Read |

So instead, I?m going to make a list of all the things that have been making me happy lately and hopefully that will make me feel a little better!? jacaranda trees in bloom everywhere ? green juice ? a new rooftop BBQ (more on this soon) ? fluffy hotel robes ? chocolate covered almonds ? mojitos ? finding time to read ? morning walks ? ...

Ahhh Valentine?s Day. Since I can remember, I have not been a fan of the nauseating commercialism that surrounds the 14th of February. I'm fairly certain I?ve never posted anything heart-shaped on this blog! The boy and I have never even been on the same side of the country to actually spend it together. Showing love to your partner and friends on just one day of the year is, frankly, not good enough. As I?ve said before ... Quick Read |

The first time I tried to visit Chin Chin in Melbourne's CBD, we arrived before 6pm and were told there would be a 4 hour wait for a table of two! So we went round the corner and had a truly fantastic meal at Movida Next Door instead! Luckily on my next Melbourne trip we tried for a late Friday lunch and were seated straight away.There is a lot of hype surrounding this restauran ... Quick Read |

The last time I made one of these lists a few months back, I was having an absolutely terrible week and the act of thinking about and writing down the good stuff in life totally helped my mood. This time around I am realising how important it is notice the little things and to be thankful. It's so easy to take this stuff for granted, but the little details are what make life special. It's one of my goals this year to appreciate them more! So here are a few things that I'm loving lately ... Quick Read |
