7 Ways To Spend Your Next Girls Night
We all need our gal pals sometimes. They're our sisters, our best friends and our soul mates all rolled into one, and life wouldn't be the same without them. Whether it's getting them to check for something in our teeth, confirming that that dress doesn't make us look fat, getting rescued from an awkward date or calling them at all hours when we get dumped, our gal pals are there for everything. So when girls night comes around, there's nothing better than putting on some lippy, grabbing a pair of heels and heading out! Whether you enjoy a quiet night at home or a night of crazy indulgence, everything is always a million times better with our friends.

7 Things You Have To Do This Winter
Well, Winter is here. Say goodbye to the long days and short nights, the warm weather and bright, sunny skies. We're lucky enough that we only really experience cold weather for a few weeks out of the whole three months (thanks Gold Coast!), but unless you plan on being a recluse for the entire season it's a good idea to seek out some Winter alternatives to keep you occupied.

Best Gold Coasts Breakfasts
Breakfast. We all love it. From Pancakes to Pancetta and Bacon to Bennies, there's the perfect breakfast for any occasion or time of day. Some of us would prefer breakfast for every meal of the day, and some might just wake up around lunchtime instead - But what do we do when breakfast is over? In my humble opinion, Breakfast should be available for all meals of the day, and it seems that these eight unique cafes have got it right!
