The Weekly High Five: risky fashion, making it rain and selfish cakes

23 Feb 2017

In regards to goals, someone much wiser than I once said, “It ain’t about how fast I get there, it ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side – it’s the climb.” Even if your feelings towards inspirational songs performed by former child stars aren’t exactly positive, you’ve got to admit that the girl has got a point – the journey towards achieving something is just as crucial as the end game. Make your journey a fulfilling one with The Weekly High Five – tiny feel-good resolutions you can count on one hand and tick off for instant endorphins. more

On Those Trays help gents treat their essentials with respect

16 Feb 2017

Let’s face it lads, whenever we leave the house we are all guilty of giving ourselves the ‘one, two, three’ pat to ensure we’ve pocketed all of our essentials. Keys, phone and wallet is usually all we need, but these three are crucial and losing any of those items around the house is a morning ruiner. We need a better system of ensuring we’ve got all our bits and pieces in one place, and On Those Trays (a play on ‘uno, dos, tres’) is giving it to us in the form of a stylish valet trays. more

With all the talk of declining housing affordability and how we’d be able to own the house of our dreams if we just stopped eating smashed avocado, this story might be like rubbing salt on open wound.

There are thousands of architecturally stunning homes all over the world, but we’ve picked five of our most lust-worthy properties that have us contemplating entering the lottery every week. more

The Weekend Series: five Netflix Originals to look forward to in 2017

19 Jan 2017

Since the massive success of House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, it seems like Netflix has only increased in quality when it comes to its original shows. As more an more people ditch television for streaming services, the demand for such quality material has risen exponentially. Thankfully, Netflix has consistently been up to the task of delivering, as evidenced by 2016’s output (Stranger Things, Master of None, The Crown). Our hopes for 2017 are set extraordinarily high, and we are already salivating at the thought of binge watching some great new content. Here are five shows we are chomping at the bit to watch this year. more

The Weekend Series: five things from our childhood that we miss

24 Nov 2016

We don’t want to cause mass hysteria with this piece of news, but it’s too good not to share. We’ve heard a rumour that Pizza Hut might be bringing back its buffet restaurants. Yes, that’s right – a nearly forgotten relic of brighter days could be coming back. The Pizza Hut restaurant was a beloved eatery when we were kids and the rumoured resurrection of one of our cherished childhood haunts got us thinking about other things from our youth that we’d love to see make a comeback. We’ve managed to narrow it down to five, but beware – this one is heavy on the nostalgia. more
