The end of an era.
We're sure you've heard on the grapevine, single-use plastic bags are slowly (but surely) being phased out of local supermarkets around the country. ABOUT TIME we say. Woolworths revealed it would begin discontinuing the use of plastic bags in supermarkets, Big W and BWS stores, with a total ban in place by June 30. The move sparked Coles to agree to do the same less than two hours later and they're now set to have the affect in place by July 1.

Always better together
We're well into the month of February (holy crap) which means more and more events are popping up as the year progresses. Foodie feasts, social gatherings, new openings and must-do calendar celebrations - our diaries are filling up quicker then our stomachs at an all-you-can-eat dumpling buffet. This week, we've listed a few things that would make for great date nights, and whether you're with the gals, lads or lovers, we think there's something suitable for every relationship.
New Year, Same Me
Hello 2018, we are ready for you. Our resolution lists have been made and they feature an array of goals including eating anything and everything that comes our way, getting our #fitspo on, enjoying more LOL moments, living life to the fullest and, the list goes on and on. So, it's basically exactly the same as what we had written down last year. You know what they say - if it ain't broke don't fix it, right? New year, same us! We're always hungry, thirsty and feeling adventurous and if there's one thing Brisbane knows how to do, it's to let the good times roll. We've listed a few low-key events to help ease our way into the new year..
Shop Local This Festive Season
Stress less this festive season. If you're anything like us, you put your Christmas shopping off until the very last minute.

Despite the fact that Christmas can be stressful AF, we do actually wave the festive flag. Once you get past the gift shopping part there's nothing but love to give, joy to feel and good food to eat. We've done the hoop jumping for you this year and came up with a rather cracking, Chrissy gift guide (because no one likes a Christmas Grinch)...
