Earlier this year, J organised a surprise weekend away. I didnโt know where we were going. He had packed a suitcase, called an uber which took us to the airport, and we went straight through the security gate, and I still didnโt know where we were going! He finally let on that we were going […] Read more…

*I was invited to dine at Trecento as a guest, however all opinions are my own. I headed to newly opened pizzeria, Trecento, in Manuka for their media launch a few weeks ago.

In case you hadn’t noticed, a new ramen shop opened up on Lonsdale Street in Braddon. Ramentic is located in a small nook in the Mode 1 building.
