    Out & About // Oh What a Saturday!

    Last weekend was murder. I don’t know why but it was THAT much harder to get out of bed to do anything at all, and yet, it was probably one of the busiest weekends I’ve had in a while. Because…life. I kicked Saturday off with a trip to Vanity Fair with my co-workers Alina and…

  • Out & About // All Italian

    Out & About // All Italian

    So….about this Carnival diet I’m supposed to be on. Actually…more than a Carnival diet, this whole healthy eating thing that I claimed to have adopted asa lifestyle choice a few months ago. Where is it Ceola? It’s gone. Gone…because I keep getting invited to the most amazing foodie events, like last night’s trip to All…

  • Out & About // Brunch At Fanatic with Chef Amit Raval

    Out & About // Brunch At Fanatic with Chef Amit Raval

    On Sunday I had the immense pleasure of sitting down for brunch with some lovely company in a lovely place. My favourite haunt, Fanatic Kitchen Studio, in collaboration with the fabulous TriniChow has been hosting a series of Sunday morning (into afternoon) brunches featuring some of the most sought after chefs in the country. This…

  • Discovery // Zabouca Breads

    Discovery // Zabouca Breads

    I’ve always worked within walking distance of Zabouca Breads – a quaint little bakery tucked away next to a similarly curious piano repair shop, just across from the NP Gas Station on the corner of Tragerete and Maraval Road. It’s easy to miss, but once you’ve peeked inside I guarantee it’s much more difficult to…

  • Pencil This In // November

  • Haul // Total Local Saturday

    Haul // Total Local Saturday

    Well today has been super long (and it’s not even 4pm yet). Woke up at 5:30 to go get my workout in at the Arbanya Bootcamp which is run by ChauFIT in conjunction with my gym Studio W. I’m not much for dirt and grass but since I started this bootcamp – which is in…

  • Out & About // Aioli

    Out & About // Aioli

    Sooooo…I’ve been eating again. As if Saturday night’s shenanigans weren’t enough, the Boy and I, along with food blogger extraordinaire Quincy and his guest Kim, took to the newest culinary kid on the block (one of the best kept secrets that everyone has kind of heard about but wasn’t sure if the rumours were true) Aioli.…

    Pencil This In

    I would have done this post entirely on the happenings in May but this Thursday, 25th April, Kraze celebrates their 1 Year Anniversary in fitting fashion: a shopping party! Kraze will be dropping new stock just in time for their Birthday and possibly treating guests to a preview of Rhion Romany‘s next collection: Monroe. Not…

  • What’s The Story, Morning Glory?

    What’s The Story, Morning Glory?

    What’s been going on with my life? Well…between a drag queen pageant, scratching ‘surviving 25 years on this wretched earth’ off my fictional bucket list, starting a new job (praise Jesus) and watching a man fall 120,000 feet to earth…and live…not too much. Yeah, things have been wild, but fun and by far the biggest…

  • A Night at Emiliana’s

    A Night at Emiliana’s

    Emiliana Osteria Italiana must be the best kept secret in town – of the Italian variety that is. The intimate and warm Italian restaurant is tucked away on Longden Street, in close vicinity to Lapeyrouse and I don’t doubt that passers-by have often wondered what lay behind the frosted glass facade, a building so starkly…
