Monster French toast and cookie dough cafes – five things we are vibing on in February

02 Feb 2017

The first month of 2017 is done and dusted and now it is officially too late to wish someone a happy new year. While we’ve still got our eyes on the great year ahead, it’s also time to take stock on some of the cool things that have happened at home and abroad. We are getting super stoked on some very vibe-worthy happenings, including a female-only ride sharing service, a new home for Australian film and gargantuan, cookie dough cafes and carb-loaded French toast hybrids. more

The Weekend Series: house porn – you know you want to look

25 Jan 2017

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. While we are inclined to agree, we choose to sprinkle like salt bae and deal with our increasing house envy the only way we know how – by spending hours looking at some of the world’s most beautiful homes. 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 round-up: hot tips to stay cool during the heatwave

12 Jan 2017

In case you've been living under a rock, this weekend is going to be a scorcher. We're talking 35 degree-plus days – you know, those temps where the bitumen roads get so hot you can actually fry an egg on them (it's tempting, but totally unhygienic). If you're lucky enough to have air-conditioning at home, then good on YOU. If not, then don't get all hot-headed about it, because here's two fun facts – it can get kind of boring in the confines of your own abode, and there are only so many episodes of Suits you can watch. So, let's beat the heat and get out, pals! Here's a list of cool things to do when there is a giant mass of hot air looming over the Gold Coast. more

Embrace the minimalist style with new-season swimwear from Summer Addiction

05 Jan 2017

Summer is here. It’s well and truly here, in all its 35-degree glory. It’s only natural at this time of year that the ladies embrace the humble bikini to get them through these sweltering days. There’s a general rule that females should add at least one new bikini to their wardrobe each summer – so if you’re succumbing to this rule (that we kind of made up) then you’d best check out newly launched Gold Coast swimwear label Summer Addiction. Wearing clothes in summer is totally overrated. more

Par Femme brings a unique brand of female empowerment to online shopping

05 Jan 2017

When it comes to female sexuality, the world tends to turn a blind eye and block its ears whilst humming loudly to drown out anything it might hear. There is precious little in the way of safe spaces where women can embrace their femininity on their own terms and by their own standards. Par Femme is breaking the rules of feminine mystique – from fashion to content, this is an online destination designed by women, for women (minus the taboo). more

The Weekend Series: pupper don’t preach – beat the summer heat at the best dog-friendly beaches

08 Dec 2016

As blessed as we are to live in a place abundant with tropical vibes, it’s difficult to feel quite so stoked when you’re sweating so hard that your back resembles a quagmire (we’ve all been there). Imagine feeling that way but also being covered in fur – that’s what our poor pooches are dealing with! Cooling off is as easy as jumping into the nearest large body of water, but knowing where to go with dogs in tow can be tricky. To ease the pain for both you and your fuzzy mates, we’ve rounded up the best dog-friendly beaches within driving distance of Brisbane. 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
