bali beach blessings

M: Yes, Bali is beautiful rice fields, ceremonies and temples. But when you spend your days in the Seminyak area, there's only three things you've got to worry about: where to eat (1), what cocktail to drink (2) and which massage to pick (3) ;). Walking on the beach from Petitenget to Seminyak you'll find 4 great beach club spots in a row: funky La Barca Beachclub, stylish Starfish Bloo, lively Potato Head and worldfamous Ku De Ta. All four are special in it's own way and sooo worth a visit. Where La Barca charms with a fun interior and a simple but tasteful menu, Starfish Bloo (part of the new W Retreat & Spa) will impress with state of the art decor and gourmet food. Porc ribs were never so refined AND mouthwatering as here. Then head for Potato Head to chill at the pool, admire the stunning architecture and try the prawn or tuna ceviche. Finish off with an exquisite cocktail at Ku De Ta while listening to the sunset tunes from one of the lined up DJs. I mean: if you're on a holiday treat, you might as well do it properly ;) *From north to south: La Barca, Starfish Bloo, Potato Head and Ku De Ta

daisies rock

B: It's that time again where spring has sprung, the birds are full of chirp and the hottest bands are ROCKING THE DAISIES! Whoop whoop, can't wait for all the bikini show offs and beer totting rock lovers who will be enjoying the sights of the Cloof Wine Estate in Darling only 100 km out of Cape Town… For three days it’s (hopefully we are blessed with awesome weather): tents, rivers, braais and REALLY loud music. I’ll be performing with the iScream and the Chocolate Stix at 1.00 pm on the 8th of October 2011 on the main stage. Rock on!! :) *Rocking the Daisies, 7-9 Oct 2011 *Download our new hot single Skitso!

peruvian pisco in cape town

M: For a big South America fan like me, discovering restaurant Keenwä in Cape Town was as fulfilling as the taste of the awesome classic Pisco Sour cocktail they serve. This national drink from Peru is made of Pisco liquor, lime juice and syrup and comes with a thick layer of whipped egg white. The combination of the sour and the cream is just magical. Can't wait for the P.I.S.C.O. bar upstairs to open... Keenwä not only brings back fantastic memories of travelling through Peru, but also surprised me and B with it's excellent food and colorful decor. The ceviche clasico (fish cubes marinated in lime juice and a sprinkle of chillies) for a starter is a MUST. And if you want to try South African ostrich Peruvian style: order the ostrich fillet with gooseberry sauce and quinoa risotto. Don't forget to check out the arty travel pics on the wall and the toilets upstairs! *Keenwä, 50 Waterkant Street, Cape Town

work it, work it, work it out!

M: With summer around the corner, there is no better way to kick off the new week than in the gym. The best part for me is not the vision of myself pulling off my bikini though, but the energy I get out of a proper training session. Truly addictive like nothing else. Our personal trainer Joseph makes sure that B and I sweat it all out without using ANY machine... the holistic approach! My favorite? The kettlebell! It's a simple cast iron weight designed to swing it and lift it while combining cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. *Check it out: First Principles Gym, Sea Point, personal trainer Joseph Chinana or 360 Specialised Training, Woodstock

burstling & burlesque

S: Looking back at a very succesful opening of a new monthly event in London: the Fashion Bound Burlesque Show. Our venue was the happening nightclub 141 Park Lane, visited by the likes of Snoop Dogg, Prince, Outkast and many more. We started with strawberry bellinis and fusion canapes. Highlight of the night was the Sweet Harlots Burlesque act. Yep, that's the same duo that was asked by Prince Harry to perform on his bru Williams' stag party... It was DJ Liquid Motion accompanied by Saxadelic who finished the night off with some warm and bassy tunes. To be continued! *Fashion Bound Burlesque Shows by Jaded Lifestyles, 141 Park Lane, London
