Riversmith, The Heart Of Margaret River

Hospitality, Perthect - 26 November, 2015

<p>It was quite by accident that we discovered Riversmith - and boy, am I glad we did. <br /><br />The atmosphere, decor and ethos (not to mention the food and drink) of Riversmith cafe is just inspirational. In-fact, the family run business located in the heart of Margaret River is not just a cafe - it is also a produce and lifestyle store, showcasing "the abundant resources of the Margaret River region and beyond", where people can enjoy good food and celebrate good, local farming.</p>
<p>And their Smashed Avo was pretty epic too...</p>

Margaret River Memoirs – Pt. I

Adventure, Perthect - 18 November, 2015

Last Friday I took the day off from crazy advertising life and headed on a road trip with three of my favourite Perth girls to Margaret River.

Located three hours south of Perth, the beautiful Margaret River region stretches a stunning 1000km along WA's South West coastline, and has all the ingredients to make it the perfect escape; fine wines, dining and perfect waves...

Floral Faunication

Hospitality, Perthect - 11 November, 2015

<p>It was thanks to a cheeky flick through Instagram between meetings one afternoon that I first stumbled across snaps of Flora & Fauna's delightful and decadent offering.</p>
<p>Delightfully tucked away on Lion Walk, just off Aberdeen Street in Northbridge (just look out for the cute bunting), it's easy to see how this quaint little hole-in-the-wall cafe has won the hearts of so many Perthians...</p>

Spiritual Gangster

Fitness, Perthect - 7 November, 2015

NAMAST'AY IN BED is about as Yogic as I felt at 7am last Sunday morning.

Admittedly this was a result of the Beauvine Festival 'tasting' a group of us had indulged in the night before, but 7am on a Sunday? Yikes.

A few months ago, a group of us booked places on a springtime Yoga day retreat up in the Perth Hills, for a day of chilled relaxation and recuperation.

We were also totally enthralled at the notion of chanting...

They See Me Rollin’

Fitness, Perthect - 1 November, 2015

<p>So, we've all been there. Had the 'bright idea' to do something like a 50km bike ride, secured a place months in advance and like, totally planned to train 'next weekend'.<br /><br />Before you know it, it's the night before, you've done sod all training and the thought of getting up at 5:30am nearly makes you cry as much as the idea of actually pedalling 50km from Freo to Hillarys (via a loop up to Burns Beach and back).</p>
<p>And don't get me started on the lycra and butt pads... </p>
