Bright eyed and bushy tailed, I attended The League of Extraordinary Women Breakfast event last Tuesday morning (thanks Sammway Brand Management for the invitation!) at Rooftop Terrace of The Glenmore Hotel in The Rocks in Sydney (which by the way, with our awesome Sydney Harbour views, was a glorious place to have breakfast). The event…

Foraging for Edible Weeds Workshop | Sydney
If I ever become homeless in Sydney, I think I know where to forage for my food source. Did you know there are edible weeds in Sydney? We are accustomed to eating vegetables from our local supermarkets or grocery stores but how much nutritional value are we getting from them? The nutritional value of this food might…
Big Dance at Sydney Dance Company … How I Learned To Dance
When you think of the prestigious Sydney Dance Company, you may think it’s only for professional dancers and it’s beyond your reach. I didn’t learn to dance when I was a child. I learnt to dance when I was an adult in my early 30s, an age where people say “that’s too late”. That’s probably true…
Bits & Pieces to Buy at The Grounds Markets | Sydney
I went to The Grounds Markets on the Queen’s public holiday to help out with product photography for one of the market stalls, Lisa’s wonderful Fragrant Flame Soy Candles (check out my earlier review, What soy candles tickle your senses). My home smells so good ever since I came across Lisa’s candles. She has such a vast range…
6 talented crafters I discovered at The Finders Keepers Markets
I went to The Finders Keepers Markets in Sydney today for the first time. What a great concept. Its purpose is to bring independent design to the forefront and encourage the Australian emerging art and design scene, creating a market scene that maintains the grass roots level but with high standards in both quality and…
The Potting Shed at The Grounds
I went to The Grounds on Easter Sunday for lunch to spend some time with family. The day turned out to be more than just having lunch and coffee at The Potting Shed. The Easter Markets were on at The Grounds, the preferred coffee supplier for the upcoming TEDxSydney event, drew the crowds and truly was a photographer’s…
What soy candles tickle your senses? | Shopping
As I strolled through the Easter Markets at The Grounds today in Alexandria, I could not help but stop to see what that wonderful smell was. I’m normally not a candle person – the only time I ever light candles is when there is a black out in my house (have you ever had that happen…
On the TEDxSydney menu | Sydney Opera House | 26 April 2014
“Food has the power to bring people together, and good things always come from that.” At this year’s TEDxSydney event Jill Dupleix as curator has put on the menu a food experience that encapsulates the concept of coming together at the table, sharing food and ideas, breaking bread, and making all welcome – the good…
How to walk like a model from the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2014 | Sydney
As Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2014 draws to a close, I was thinking about what practical tips could I share with my fellow blog readers? I’m sure the fashion magazines and bloggers would have already covered the styling trends from the runways at the show in some depth. On reflection, I might have appreciated…
The Cendana Spa | Sydney CBD
The spa industry in Sydney is ripe for reform. If you have ever gone overseas to places like Dubai, Hawaii, or Malaysia and tried spa treatments there, you will know what I am talking about. I find it difficult to find effective spa treatments (including facials and massages) that are value for money in Sydney….
