However, while we may be overrun with dining options, eating out every night isn’t really a viable option. So the next best thing? Create perfect Asian-inspired […]
People have always spoken highly of Bali for homewares shopping and I thought it would be worth a look. But to be honest, it was never too high on my radar due to all the speculation about Bali in the media. But let me tell you, it’s a lot safer than we’re made to believe and […]
Having been based in Denmark for the last five months of 2014, I missed a fair few new restaurants opening up and some old classics getting renovations. As a result, 2015 has been pretty busy. I am not exaggerating when I say I go to a new restaurant every day (though my wallet is not […]

But after months of working together, from sourcing key pieces to designing interior furnishings, the spark had well and truly struck, and the basis of their interior styling firm IndigoJungle […]
I’m a big fan of Din Tai Fung, they are actually one of the few places that do real vegetarian dumpling soup (all you vegetarians out there will be nodding your heads in agreement. Seriously, why does Asian food always have to have a secret meat in it!?). But I digress; this post is not […]

Trouble is, it isn’t always the most practical choice and certainly not the cheapest. Which is why Caesarstone’s interpretation of the famous Calacatta marble, Calacatta Nuvo, […]
