Bread & Wine review
On Saturday I went with my family to Bread & Wine on Moreson estate for lunch. What an amazing lunch it was. I have been eager to try Bread and Wine because I have heard great reviews and it was also voted in the SA top ten by Eat Out magazine. The weather on Saturday was…

Societi Bistro review
Societi Bistro has received some good reviews and accolades over the past year or so, for this reason I’ve been quite keen to try it. I had dinner there the other night with 3 friends. The place was not very full, but despite that it retains its warm ambiance. The service was good, but obviously…

What is 5FM up to?
It’s great to see that people are starting to be more aware of the environmental crisis we are in. Some are even starting to make changes in their lives and this in turn has prompted companies to give themselves a ‘greener’ image. You see, we as consumers have the power, if companies think we want…

New Credit Act – Making life difficult or Frek you Standard Bank
It’s been interesting seeing the effects of the NCA. I imagined that it would have some effect on the economy, but I didn’t realise it would be this big. There was an article in a newspaper saying that rejections of home loan applications had increased four fold. There was an interview on the radio with…

Every person I know who has been to the the Tent of Dreams told me that it was absolutely fantastic, so my expectations were very high. R300 plus drinks and tip is also a pretty expensive evening, so you want to feel that you’re…

Blink review
Most people have heard of Malcolm Gladwell’s other book, The Tipping Point (my review here), but this one is less well known. Although it is less well known, it is no less interesting. Like The Tipping Point, it is not a long read. However, it provides much food for thought. The author shares a mixture of…

Book Fair review
I was flippin’ bored. Unless you are into hearing presentations from authors and meeting people in the industry, the book fair doesn’t offer much. I have a friend who is going on all 3 days and is loving it, so there are people to whom it appeals, but for the average person who just reads…

Cafe des Arts review
One of the things I love about Cape Town is that it offers so many diverse options that you can find almost anything you are looking for. One of the places I don’t get to nearly as often as I’d like is Kalk Bay, it’s got such a lovely character. In Winter it’s super cozy and in…
