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 […]
Living in Rivonia, I sadly don’t have any neighbourhood coffee shops to hang out at. I’m always jealous of people in Parkhurst and Linden who have tons of tiny restaurants and coffee shops to try. Rivonia used to be the place to hang out, but it has since deterioated. There is, however, one quality spot […]
Monday, again! I haven’t had the easiest few weeks with my dad being ill (he has been diagnosed with lung cancer)- I’m very worried about him. Luckily my friend Pratika is getting married in PE next weekend, so I’ll have an opportunity to visit then, and I’m hoping to go home more regularly after that. I’m trying to […]
I love high teas. I always imagine myself as a princess in England enjoying a cup of tea (held with pinky finger out, of course) and a scone (pronounced so it rhymes with moan). In fact, I love tea generally. There’s something so soothing about a cup of tea, it makes the bad times ok […]
I’ve heard so much about Country Living Cafe and have been wanting to check it out for a while. The fact that it’s situated in Bryanston Shopping Centre put me off, because the centre is quite dull and dreary. However, the cafe itself is absolutely lovely. I went for high tea with the girls (priced […]
I like to think that I already know of/ have been to most of Jozi’s finest spots for cake 🙂 I was delighted to come across another one last weekend. It’s called Manna Cafe and it’s in Fourways- corner Monte Casino Boulevard and William Nicol. There’s also a nursery and a church in the centre […]
As you’ve probably gathered from earlier posts, I love “delights” – basically anything sweet and delicious.One of my favourite indulgences is to have a scone with clotted cream and jam and the Crabtree and Evelyn Tea Room in Design Quarter, Fourways.The Tea Room itself is a feast for the eyes. It makes you feel like you’re […]
High Tea is one of my favourite things to do with girlfriends.Sometimes you just need that time out to relax, and talk rubbish. I am part of a “lifestyle group” of sorts. We do fun things like go to girls night out movies, fashion shows, high teas, or basically anything cool that we come across. We get […]
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 […]
