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…
Free Printable Calendar for Top Pick Comedian Shows | Sydney Comedy Festival 2014
My diary of the comedians I want to see at the Sydney Comedy Festival 2014 was starting to look a little cluttered on my iPhone. So I have created an easy to read 2 page PDF calendar diary pencilling in my top pick shows to see. See my earlier article on who to see. You…
Living is Easy With Eyes Closed | Spanish Film Festival 2014 | Around Australia
I like surprises. I was impressed with the Spanish Film Festival’s sensational opening night film, Living is Easy With Eyes Closed. It’s a comedy, drama and generally a feel good flick that will have you engaged and laughing throughout the film and leaves you with ‘is it already over already?’ feeling. The title Living is…
5 minutes with Ray Badran | Sydney Comedy Festival 2014
With the 10th Annual Sydney Comedy Festival 2014 kicking off from 22 April 2014, one comedian who should be in your Sydney Comedy Festival diary to see is Ray Badran. The first time I saw Ray Badran’s show was at The Sydney Comedy Store last year, where he appears as a regular. Ray, with his…
Paddington Inn | Paddington
I normally don’t do pub food – in fact, I rarely step into one, but I’ve been to Paddington Inn a couple of times now. The section of Paddington Inn at the back of the establishment that serves food is more like a bistro rather than a pub. If you are looking for a convenient…
What lessons can be learnt from Romance Was Born exhibition at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2014 | Sydney
With all the glitz and glam and hype from fashion week last week, I must admit I did feel a little underwhelmed with some of the designs. I was hoping the Australian collections pushed boundaries. To be honest, I preferred the runways of One Fine Day that was held earlier in the year at Carriageworks,…
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….
Corretto Café | Paddington
I was in Paddington on Saturday – it was cold, miserable and wet. I would normally go to my favourite café in the area to grab a coffee except the queue this time was long. It probably was also because of an auction that took place around the corner for a stunning Paddington terrace drew the crowds and people…
