So it was the night before Ed Sheeran’s last concert in Cape Town and my husband suggested we go. I only knew a couple of his songs and I thought they were ok. Well, after his gig, I gained a new found appreciation for him. No backup dancers, no band, just Ed, his guitar, and […]
Read more "I didn’t know I was a fan until……"So it was that time of year again…my daughter’s birthday. A big day; Probably the biggest day of the year. I knew I had to throw a party but what would the theme be? The venue? The caterer? The cake creator? It was time to find an event planner …..and then, my husband said: “Forget […]
Read more "Peter Rabbit"Ok, so what makes a seven star hotel? If it refers to 7 star service I will be the first one there….On the other hand, if it implies major Bling then count me out. I don’t believe 7 stars is actually an International Standard but more of a marketing tool used by the media for PR […]

Read more "A recurrent date in the calendar: MYS"A few days ago, a friend suggested I have lunch at Yumcious in De Waterkant in Cape Town. They recommended the “lovely buffet” and infinite choice available. The cafe/restaurant was in a both quaint and hip part of town, and I thought I would try it out. At first glance it all seemed quite pretty…white, lovely flower and cake arrangements […]
Read more "How long can an illusion last?"Last night, we all went out to watch Sully, the movie. We booked into the Prestige cinema a “luxury cinematic experience” i.e.Fully reclining leather seats, VIP lounge access with food and drink served to us during the film. Tonight, Bridget Jones was only showing in the “normal” cinema; cramped seats next to strangers, no reclining, […]
Read more "Cinema Downgrade"I thought I had it all under control….well nearly. I was taking care of my two and a half year old full-time, trying my hand at new gourmet recipes everyday, three times a day, managing the house staff, and getting my work done in between. My parents had been overseas for about 5 months and […]
Read more "Mummy Poppins"Ok, so first of all, as much as I love lipsticks, I always find it hard to find a brand that is so moisturising that my lips don’t crack through. They all claim to be full of moisture using this gel and that product but rarely does it hit the mark. Secondly, China was definitely not […]
Read more "The most beautiful lipsticks in the world?"I recently spent two nights with my family onboard the world’s largest cruise ship, the Harmony of the Seas, for its pre-inaugural cruise. I have been cruising since I was a child and generally I am not a fan of these mega ships. I have to say, though, that I was pleasantly surprised. The interior […]
Read more "Onboard the Harmony"I have been spending a lot of time in Cape Town over the past year and, as always, continue to find it one of the most beautiful cities in the World. Unfortunately, service levels do not seem to match. Having an international luxury lifestyle blogsite and travelling the world advising on what true high end customer experience […]
