HOT: FAB fish and burger grill – The Barracks, Petrie Tce, Brisbane

I’m a huge fan of tight-arse Tuesdays – 2 for 1 anything will get me every time and MM and I embrace it in a big way.  We went tight-arse crazy recently up at The Barracks – cashing in on a 2 for 1 movie ticket, 2 for 1 drinks and to my delight, we [...]

HOT: CycleStyle – Stylish clothing and accessories for the urban cyclist

I have never written an advertorial on the blog, but in this instance I am going to make an exception. Why? Because CycleStyle is my business :–) That’s right – while you’ve all been reading about my eating, drinking and shopping exploits, I’ve been establishing a little business on the side and I think it’s [...]

HOT: Jocelyn’s Provisions, Centro On James, Shop 8 Cnr James & Doggett Sts, Fortitude Valley

Jocelyn’s Provisions is evidence of how a small business providing great products can build such strong brand loyalty that it draws customers in again and again, despite steady price rises. My relationship with Jocelyn’s Provisions goes back a long way. I first encountered their beautiful wares in the early days of the Powerhouse Farmers Markets [...]

HOT: CJ’s Pasta, Centro on James II, Shop 7, 31 James St, Fortitude Valley

One of RM’s favourite food discoveries in BNE is CJ’s Pasta, the fresh pasta purveyors located at Centro on James. I’m not exaggerating, every time we visit Brisbane he starts agitating about having their pasta for dinner, specifically their specialty ravioli. On our most recent visit, we tried the grilled prawn with chilli jam and shallot [...]

NOT: Gelatissimo, Shop 3 The Pavillion, Cnr Albert & Queen Sts, Brisbane

On entry, the colourful mountain range of gelati flavours in Gelatissimo provides a visual feast. Unfortunately, the product from this national chain is not really up to scratch. Nocciola is one of the few words I can say in Italian (along with ‘gelati’) and I’ve never been disappointed with hazelnut gelato. Unfortunately, Gelatissimo’s version is about as [...]

HOT: Eco Fashionista

Today I want to do a shout out to ex-Brissie girl Alex Hume, the brains behind Eco Fashionista, a new online boutique for luxury eco fashion from Australia and around the world. On Thursday 26 November you can join Alex for some bubbly and check out her curated range of sustainable designer clothing and accessories at [...]

HOT: Nutrition Warehouse, 530 Logan Road, Greenslopes

HOT:  Nutrition Warehouse, 530 Logan Road, Greenslopes

There are a plethora of supplement stores in Brisbane catering for a range of athletes, from beefcake body builders to the willowy marathon runners.  Nutrition Warehouse at Greenslopes and Underwood has a range as huge as Mr World’s biceps, with expertise in dietary supplements to cater for any elite or casual athlete’s requirements.  Their service [...]

HOT: IKEA

HOT: IKEA

So it’s Easter long weekend, what are your plans? Facebook tells me that ‘Jane is going to Paris’, ‘Michael is heading to Munchen’, ‘Ev is eating mochi in Japan’ ‘Caroline is getting ready for Stockholm’ and ‘Isabelle is in the Alps’. And Jetsetting Joyce? She is going to IKEA. I’ve officially checked out of Life. [...]
