Can you believe it that its nearly the end of March? Which means were so close to Easter 2018!! What are your plans for Easter this year? My Easter break will be mostly me stressing and working on my university assignments and also preparing for my sisters wedding in April!! Anyways, last week when I was shopping at Chermside Shopping Centre in Brisbane, I stop and had a quick break at this quirky cafe - Ivy & Lark Cafe. 

When you walk inside the cafe you will see greenery simply everywhere, honestly it's spilling out on hanging baskets, or growing in stylish and quirky pot plants and also there are interior garden beds!! There are these gorgeous white French doors and beautiful ornate patterned tiles and lovely woven lampshades which creates a refreshing vibe. I ordered basically a hot chocolate with almond milk, which was seriously so yummy and also a vegan chocolate brownie, which was really good too. Ivy & Lark do breakfast and lunch and of course coffees, shakes, teas, smoothies and mocktails! 

I definitely recommend going to this cafe, if you are planning on visiting Brisbane or if you live near by! 

What are your plans for Easter 2018?

JO-JO'S RESTURANT & BAR | BRISBANE

Over the weekend the girls and I brunched at this famous restaurant and bar in South of Brisbane. If you haven't heard of Jo-Jo's Restaurant and Bar before well then... let me tell you! It serves delicious cuisines from all over the world, shared eats, curated wines and delectable cocktails and mocktails too! It's basically where food and culture go hand in hand, sophistication meets warmth and tradition merges with new. 

The atmosphere in this restaurant is super great, really big and spacious and not your typical cramp style restaurant. We got seated straight away on a sunday morning around 11:31AM! But the truth is.. we waited around 15 minutes for someone to serve us and on top of that we also had to wait 45 minutes to get our food, which was a bit disappointing but luckily I wasn't feeling super hungry thanks to the mocktail I ordered.

But I do have to admit the wait was worth it, the food was incredibly delicious! What I ordered was the Lebanese Mix Platter: Toasted Turkish bread served with assorted dips, mixed olives, mini falafel, extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The other girls ordered Popcorn Chicken Pizza: cajun chicken, caramelised onion, bacon, mozzarella, rocket and aioli on a BBQ base and lastly the Sweet Potato Burger: Grilled haloumi, basil pesto, grilled capsicum, caramelised onion, spinach and tomato chutney served on a toasted brioche bun with a side of crispy skin chips. 

The drink that I ordered was the Strawberry Virgin Mojito: Strawberry, Lime wedges and Mint leaves. I definitely recommend that anyone who lives or thinks of visiting  Brisbane to check or this restaurant and bar! 

What is your favourite cafe to brunch at?

THE PERFECT BRONZER FOR SUMMER

Recently, I have discovered this ah-maaay-zing new bronzer for using during the summer days. I've been using this bronzer all summer, it honestly has become one of my favourite bronzers. Don't get me wrong or anything I still love and use my all time favourite Benefit Hoola bronzer but my second favourite would definitely be the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess bronzer in the shade, light.

This bronzer has a beautiful matte finish and it comes with a curved brush to ease the application when applying to your cheeks and jaw line. I do have to let you know that this bronzer is fairly large in size, and the packaging is very practical and slim and is also very easy to open. The pigment is a sheer to a very buildable medium and I find this perfect for a summer bronze make up look.

What is your favourite bronzer to use?
