A Photo Essay: Kerala- God’s Own Country
Having visited the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) a few years ago, I was so struck by India that I was determined to go back. I specifically wanted to visit South India- Kerala in particular. I had heard beautiful things about it. I like busy cities, but I also like to chill, so I made(…)
India: First Impressions, plus 5 Unmissable Foodie Experiences in Mumbai
My dear blog, how I’ve missed you! I didn’t plan on taking this long a break, but as most of you will know, I was in India over December, visiting Mumbai, Chennai and Kerala, and when I got back to work most of our team was on leave so I was really busy, with my(…)
3 days of touring Paris like a rockstar!*
I know, I’m a really bad travel blogger for only blogging about a trip 4 months after I’ve returned, but I was waiting for my story on Paris to be published in the Sunday Indy first before I covered it here (ok, that happened about 2 months ago…) and I’ve also needed to wait until(…)
2 days in Dubai, with Nokia Connects
It’s not often you get a phone call asking if you’re free to go to Dubai next week. This is exactly what happened to me a few weeks ago. I had just returned from Singapore, so had my usual annual leave restrictions (this is really becoming an issue now), but I simply cannot let travel(…)
Top 5 things to do in Singapore
When I first met Rishav, some 6 years ago, he was completely anti- travel. He thought it was a complete waste of money, and he just wasn’t interested in it. Now, he’s almost as much a travel addict as I am, and it was his idea that we zip off to Singapore for the long(…)

A New Italian Gem in Melville: La Luna
Now that my mother lives in Melville, I’ve been spending a lot of time there, which inspired me to write a story in the Sunday Independent all about my favourite spots in this once grungy, now trendy suburb. Judging from my tweets, alot of you still avoid it. If you’re one of those people, I(…)
The Best Ice Cream of My Life – at the Smokehouse in Braamfontein
I’m ashamed to say that this past weekend was the first time I’ve ever been to Braamfontein at night. I often go to pick up takeaways during my lunch break, and of course I’ve been to Neighbourgoods plenty of times, but I’m always wary of driving into town at night. It’s such a stupid notion,(…)
With NoMU’s new Baking Kits, even I can bake up a storm
As much as I love cake, when a craving hits (as it often does), if there isn’t a bakery or home industry nearby, I’d happily go without than try my hand at baking. I’ve had more than my fair share of baking disasters, and apart from this being a waste of ingredients, it’s also a(…)
High Tea at The Saxon
It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of the Saxon. Now that the Westcliff has closed down (which used to be my favourite since I got married there), the Saxon is definitely at the top of my list. The service is always amazing, the venue itself is to die for, and I’m just always(…)
Top 3 Healthy Restaurants in Jozi
After gaining a bunch of weight after my wedding, I saw a dietitian and lost 8 kgs. I’ve now gained back 4 of these, but the only reason the other 4 (and more!) haven’t come back is because of key lifestyle changes that the dietitian taught me that I’ve adopted into my daily routine. For(…)

WIN! Double Tickets to the Celebration of Bubbles Festival
It’s been ages since I’ve done a giveaway! I’ve been hoarding all the prizes people offer me for my Jozilicious Mixers, so I think it’s time to make up for that On the weekend of 29/30 March at Inanda Country Club in Sandton, Joburgers are going to be dazzled by the uber stylish and classy SizweNtsalubaGobodo(…)
My First Experience of Luminance
Luminance, SA’s only luxury, boutique department store (imo at least), has been around for almost a year, but I only set foot in it last week, at the launch of their Personal Shopping Experience. I went to the star studded store opening last year, but was ill so I had to leave early before the(…)
Now Everyone Can Have Their Very Own PA!
I can’t count the number of times I’ve silently wished for a PA. I have one of those jobs where it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to leave the office during the day to run personal errands, meaning that most days it’s a mad rush through peak traffic to get to a Woolies before it(…)
Jozilicious Summer Mixer Report Back
This past Saturday, I hosted the third Jozilicious Mixer. I have to say, that I think this was the best one yet. Having been to tons of events myself, I know what I like to get out of an event, so I try to create this experience for my readers, as well as make them(…)
Alice Lane Health Club is the Shizz
Okay, let me be honest here. When I first heard of Alice Lane Health Club and what its offering was, I was like “who wants to spend more than R1000 a month on a gym”? I’ve been gyming for free for the past 7 years (I joined with the Discovery Vitality special when they were(…)
