Scent of the spice of life – #21 Way to Live
by Eva Wynne
Before eating or drinking anything take a deep breath and inhale the aroma. You’ll be amazed what you notice. And everything that passes your lips is much more enjoyable. This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read the original post). Scent if powerful. There’s something about the aroma of food cooking – be it the nutty scent of coffee … Read More Scent of the spice of life – #21 Way to Live

Southside Tea Room… Brisbane’s Grate-ist?
by Eva Wynne
Caught up with the girls on the weekend – headed to the Southside Tea Room at Morningside. Sat there for a good hour chatting over coffee and amazing shakes when the penny dropped. The Grates! I know familiar faces when I see them… eventually. No fan of reinventing the wheel, I found the following review of Southside Tea Room on Brisbane’s Weekend Edition – … Read More Southside Tea Room… Brisbane’s Grate-ist?
#10 Way to Live – Soothing Winter Ills
by Eva Wynne
Winter is something of my nemesis. It launches its minions: flu, chills and ills. We thrust and parry until I can go on no longer and must yield in a pile of tissues on the couch. I’m not going to lie to you – it’s not glamorous. So the #10 Way to Live comes from my perspective on the couch. Freshly made Honey & … Read More #10 Way to Live – Soothing Winter Ills

Wining + Dining with Lil’Sis
by Eva Wynne
Lil’Sis is departing to Japan for, among other things, the Cherry Blossoms. Seeing any of my loved ones embarking on fabulous journey’s is always a bitter-sweet experience. Naturally I’m thrilled — but can’t seem to help the occasional pang of envy either. A cosy Bon Voyage dinner was just the ticket for me! Maintaining the international flavour Lil’Sis picked French Martini at Brisbane’s South … Read More Wining + Dining with Lil’Sis

Brisbane Winter Festival
by Eva Wynne
We’re celebrating winter big-time this year in Brisbane. An authentic cold-snap is well underway in the city. Personally, I’ve always laughed at Brisbane’s winter – it brings out the ridiculous from residents. It’s the only city I’ve been to (and I’ve travelled) where you can sit at a sidewalk cafe with someone beside you in an outfit straight from a ski village and seated opposite someone in shorts … Read More Brisbane Winter Festival
Literally Confection
by Eva Wynne
Cliche it may be, fad most definitely, but still I love a cupcake! I resisted visiting my local cupcake parlour, which really is too cutesy for words, for some time. But, as with all my firm-stands against fads, I quickly succumbed. The store showcases a delicious selection of wares. Each cake beautifully decorated, from the classically sublime to pure novelty (what coffee date is … Read More Literally Confection
Brunching with the girls
by Eva Wynne
I met the girls for Brunch this Sunday. It was a casual affair, with friends coming and going as you please. Now, I’m not, nor have I ever been, a morning person. But when it comes to a leisurely brunch with good coffee and great friends I’m powerless to resist. I love cradling my coffee in both hands – gripping the cup tightly. Feeling the warmth … Read More Brunching with the girls
The Adjustment Bureau
by Eva Wynne
I shared a saturday night novelty with one of my closest friends. Date night. For Friends. Our plans? Dinner and a movie. I know, standard fare. General catch up over sushi proceeded our viewing of The Adjustment Bureau. The film is credited as an adaptation of the graphic novel, “The Adjustment Team” by Philip K Dick, which I would now like to read. There … Read More The Adjustment Bureau
A Family Affair
by Eva Wynne
Dinner for Five at Six. That’s right as part of my “Youthful New Year” campaign posted earlier this year I deigned to throw 10 Parties in 2011. For my first big adventure I organised a dinner party, something simple and classy was my initial plan. And why not invite, quite possibly my toughest audience. Yes, you’re quite right I organised a dinner party for my family: 4 … Read More A Family Affair
We don’t pay collectively
by Eva Wynne
Every month I have a standing date with the girls. It’s my societal equivilent to the family Sunday dinner… except of course we’re brought together by choice. Needless to say, I love the second sunday of the month. What’s not for me to love – where ever we congregate there’s always lashings of conversation, stories and laughs. The hours just slip-slip on by. And … Read More We don’t pay collectively

Coffee with Lil’sis
by Eva Wynne
I met Lil’sis for a catch-up coffee. She’s all shiny-haired and stylishly attired. We perch on our cafe chairs like good little patrons and snippy-ly await our beverages. We always order the same, which is unusual for me, one skinny latte + one flat-white. I love our coffee breaks. Once our orders arrive, addiction slightly abated; we’re free to delve into the family gossip, … Read More Coffee with Lil’sis
