Dream on, dreamer
I love new places, and it feels as if a new restaurant pops up every other day here in Walmer, Port Elizabeth! I don’t think I can keep up at this point, lol. But being spoilt with so much choice is a pretty good problem to have (I think)! Continue reading “Holiday Coffee Company.”
Colleen Glen is without a doubt one of the most picturesque areas in all of Port Elizabeth. With it’s lush green landscape that stretches out as far as the eye can see, it’s easy to see why it’s residents choose to call this hidden gem home. (Who wants to offer up one of their properties? I’d be love to move in 😂 Or convert it into a farm-style coffee shop/bookstore) Continue reading “Hidden Gems: Colleen Glen.”
This is the literal definition of a throwback post, lol. But you know what they say! Better late than never!
About two months ago, from the 11th to the 13th of October, I had the absolute pleasure and privilege of attending the Mandela Bay Fashion Week for the first time ever! This year’s event marked the third ever time our beautiful city of PE has played the host.

Once again, Walmer has proved that when it comes to restaurants, it doesn’t disappoint!
Last week, my sister, our friend Gift and I had a much needed catch up after finally being freeee from school and all other engagements that had been keeping us apart.
With so many new restaurants popping up we were really spoilt for choice on where to go, but in the end, taking into account ease of accessibility and affordability of menu prices, we settled on a place neither of us had ever been to but heard a bit about: Jack’s Bagels!
I’m not the biggest fan of rainy days, but I have to admit that there’s something about the atmosphere of cold, brooding weather that breathes life into certain places, transforms them into otherworldly wonderlands in the midst of the dark. It’s as if the rain comes down to bring them new life. Continue reading “Apron Strings.”
