70Juta has landed!
First there was Arts on Main. Then there was 44 Stanley. And now with yesterday’s launch of 70 Juta St, there is another addition to the ‘art precinct’ scene.

Expo Time: Winex in Johannesburg

Sunday Sundowers – MiLounge Edition
In my experience, there are a number of ways to combat those dreaded Sunday blues.. (1) Make sure you don’t have work on Monday (but we all know calling in sick on a Monday always gets tricky), (2) Go for a massage (nothing like a deep-tissue induced coma to distract you), or (3) Prolong the weekend partying as long as possible.

Best Sushi Restaurant in Cape Town
Nestled in the middle of Mouille Point, with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, lies the sushi-lovers’ sanctuary of Wakame. Even if it wasn’t one of the trendiest places to catch a bite in Cape Town, and wasn’t filled with the way-too-beautiful people, you’d still want to go there for the mouth-watering Asian Fusion delights. [...]
