Restaurant review: InFusion on Long in Cape Town

When I first heard about InFusion on Long it was because friends were talking about “that CBD oil” restaurant – a spot where you can spike your food with a spritz. As a result, I assumed it was going to be gimmicky. The kind of place where all the focus would be on the novelty […]

Review: Elizabeth Arden Great 8 Eight Hour Daily Defense Moisturiser SPF 35

Elizabeth Arden Great 8 Eight Hour Daily Defense Moisturiser SPF 35

Elizabeth Arden sent me a whack of goodies the other day and there have been a few stand outs. Firstly, you should know that their relaunched Beautiful Colour Natural Eye Brow Pencil is still a fave. Also, I’m really falling in love with Sunlit Showers, the latest incarnation of Sunflowers (full review coming soon). Today, […]

Review: Afari Brightening Elixir

My friend Margaux Knuppe has always been one of the most entrepreneurial people I know. At the age of 26, I was getting wrecked on Porn Star martinis at Asouka. Margs, however, was setting up her first company, Ruby Box. Fast forward a couple of years and now she’s just developed and launched her own […]

Unless you’re super into B-grade Wimpy restaurants (which I kind of am, but don’t judge me.) Taj Cape Town’s Mint Restaurant and Terrace, however, is a lovely option that’s become even nicer since they expanded the restaurant the spill out into […]

Review: Sorbet 365 Workout Barcelona skincare collection

If you’re familiar with Sorbet’s skincare collection you’ll know it contains a few gems. (I’m still a big fan of their Salon Skin daily skin polish powder as it’s basically a dupe for Dermalogica’s brilliant but pricy Microfoliant.) They’ve expanded further, however, with a new line called 365 Workout Barcelona. Now, to be honest, I […]

Review: Kong Bar & Grill restaurant in Cape Town

I was still overseas when Kong Bar & Grill popped up in Green Point Cape Town, but it made enough noise to reach me. People were raving about the riblets… they were popping bottles of free bubbly on a Thursday… (more on that later) and their superstar DJ, Pete Larkin, is allegedly Cape Town’s finest. […]
