    Malcolm Gladwell’s first book, The Tipping Point is probably his most well known book (you can read my review here). Blink,  his second book, is less well known but it’s also a very interesting read (review here). I enjoyed both books enormously so I was quite excited to hear that he had a new one out. Some…

    If you ask 10 people which is the best restaurant for sushi in Cape Town, 5 of them will probably say Willoughby’s in the Waterfront. I have eaten at this restaurant quite a few times as my family likes to eat there when they visit from PE. However, as they haven’t visited for a while, I…

    One new green newspaper and two new green magazines have recently been launched. I’m sure they have done their market research which means there is a demand for more green publications, something I am pleased to note. It means that people are becoming more aware, more interested and more informed. This is the foundation that…

    I can honestly say that I did not forsee myself doing a review of Saul’s Saloon. I haven’t been to Saul’s Saloon in years. It’s widely considered to be the Johnny’s Roti (Sunshine Chip & Ranch in Durban) of Cape Town. The kind of place you only go to when you’ve been out dancing till…

    Few things annoy me more than product endorsements by celebrities or ‘models’. Some celebrity actress will tell you that she uses this wrinkle cream to help her look young, when in fact what helps her look young is good genetics and photoshop. The same thing for sport supplements and equipment, some sports star will attribute…

    Last weekend instead of going to a Kirstenbosch concert, I decided to support charity and went to the Concert for a Cause at The Range in Tokai instead. I  missed this concert last year and heard it was great so I wasn’t going to miss it again. The line up was Little Kings, The Rudimentals,…

    I received a text from a friend recently telling me that Queen of Tarts needed to be my next stop on my Breakfast Hunt as she had just had an amazing breakfast there. I’m not often around Observatory for breakfast but seeing as I was keen to check out the Obz Festival, I made plans…

    Before I tell you about this book, I want to share one paragraph with you: The consequences of increases in medium and long term interest rates may be particularly serious, given the high level of indebtednes of individual households, many of whom took out large mortgages in response to the unusually low interest rates. What…

    Coda launched their second album last week at the Cape Quarter. The event was most impressive, a very professional production and a showcase of the amazing talent we have here in Cape Town. I wished that I could have invited friends from around the world to see what we have to offer. Coda’s first album,…
