Spring #joziliciousmixer Report Back

September 17, 2013 by • Lifestyle • Tags: • 6 Comments

This past weekend, I hosted the second Jozilicious Mixer, at the uber glam 54 on Bath hotel. The event was sold out, and I was really keen to meet 55 of my readers, while enjoying sundowners and some yummy snacks.As much fun as these events are, they are a TON of work to organise, especially […]

Night Out For 2 at Montecasino is a pretty sweet deal*

August 29, 2013 by • Lifestyle, Uncategorized • Tags: • 2 Comments

Although I may not be a fan of malls and indoor spaces, I always like to take advantage of a good deal. I like to give myself a little pat on the back when I’ve scored a bargain 🙂 When Groupon first launched, I was probably their biggest supporter.  I know loads of you enjoy […]

*update: this event is now sold out. Please drop me a mail if you want to be added to the waiting list*If you missed the last Jozilicious Mixer- you missed out. The prize- guest ratio was insane, literally 1 person out of every 3 people won something. The next event is going to be even […]

Get out of the city and feast on a farm*

August 6, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 0 Comments

I love exploring Jozi, especially areas that are off the beaten track. Attending a Down to Earth Farm Feast has been on my to do list forever, and I finally got down to it a few weeks ago. The idea was created by 2 BFFs, Dany and Danielle, and was based on a similar concept which […]

Fourways Farmers’ Market is really cool, especially considering it’s in Fourways…

August 5, 2013 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 10 Comments

Although some areas of Jozi are really quirky and lovely, like Braamfontein, Parkhurst and Greenside, there are other areas which I try to avoid at all costs.  These include Edenvale, Roodepoort and… Fourways. I’ve made no secret of my distaste towards Montecasino, there is ALWAYS traffic going into Fourways, even on weekends, the suburb is […]

Highlights of a weekend in Joburg City

May 29, 2013 by • Lifestyle, Uncategorized • Tags: • 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I joined over 70 other media in Joburg City, for a weekend of exploration and fun. I covered the event in a double spread for the Sunday Independent, which you can read here.  To be quite honest, if I didn’t work in the city, my knowledge of it would probably be […]

Stanley Beer Yard opens at 44 Stanley

April 19, 2013 by • Lifestyle • Tags: • 1 Comment

A few weekends ago, I went to 44 Stanley to meet the owner and do some research for my article in the Sunday Independent, which you can read here. I’ve blogged about 44 Stanley before, but ages ago when I didn’t really know how to blog 😉 … so I wanted to do another post telling […]

The Collective market in Jozi and Katy’s Palace Bar

April 9, 2013 by • Lifestyle • Tags: • 3 Comments

I’m not sure what is going on, but I’ve been miserable of late. It started when I was in PE over Easter, and has continued since. I think it’s a combination of things:1) My husband is now in complete studying mode ahead of the CFA exam in June, so he’s all like: “I can’t come […]

City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus launches in Jozi!

February 22, 2013 by • Lifestyle • Tags: • 2 Comments

If you’ve travelled to any of the big cities in the world, or even Cape Town, you’ll be familiar with the red open topped city sightseeing buses that dominate the tourist spots. These buses operate on a route with 10-12 tourist stops, enabling you to “hop on and hop off” as you please. I was […]

Market on Main at Maboneng

July 10, 2012 by • Lifestyle, Uncategorized • Tags: • 0 Comments

In yesterday’s post, I wrote about Cocoon, a trendy new yoga/ healing centre and spa that has opened in the Maboneng Precinct. One of the major attractions to the precinct is Market on Main which happens every Sunday. If you’ve been to the Old Biscuit Mill in CT, this is along the same lines. You can […]

Madame Zingara Review

July 6, 2012 by • Lifestyle • Tags: • 0 Comments

Have you guys all checked out Madame Zingara? It’s currently at Monte Casino and it’s fantastic 🙂 It’s a dinner and show concept, but it’s really something different. You’re transported into another world as you enter the standalone tent that’s designed to look like an old school circus. The decor is *wow* and there are […]

Sushi school at the Hilton in Sandton

June 12, 2012 by • Food, Uncategorized • Tags: • 1 Comment

This past weekend was my first post-exam weekend and it was jam packed! I am definitely not one to spend my weekends at home “relaxing”. I love being out and about, and it’s even better when I discover new spots or new things to do. On Friday, I went to the Hilton in Sandton for “sushi […]
