We all treat ourselves from time to time – some more than others. After her months and months of discipline to lose weight, Jessica Simpson decided to treat herself, and have a bit of a banger.
All that wine-tasting and training is about to come in handy, as it’s been revealed that wine buyers are not getting exactly what they’ve paid for, with Italian police uncovering a massive wine fraud scandal, with cheap imitations in circulation that look and appear just like the real thing.

With the image of her lovely buttocks fresh in your minds, here’s some more info merely corroborating that the Royals are just normal people like us (but also not really). The Royal couple recently took an outing to Scotland to visit the country’s oldest distillery, Glenturret – home to The Famous Grouse Experience. Challenged with […]
Don’t give into the morning-after darkness – there are ways to save the situation.
This is why a typical Winter work-week is going to be fun after all. This is the sort of SERIOUS opulence that you thought could never be affordable to anyone less glamorous than a Hilton sister as part of their mere weekly routine.
Here’s the thing: Winter means spending a heck of a lot more time staying indoors and a darn lot less time out in the sticks. But, what if we were to tell you that you can hop in your car and in 60 minutes or less, arrive in a place of such natural beauty that […]
How many of us have thrown a fabulous soirée only to end up with way too much booze left over? Ok, admittedly that doesn’t happen very often in the realm of practicing hedonists, but the other frightening occurrence comes in the form of those situations when we don’t buy ENOUGH booze. And that’s terrifying. Non […]
Pinot Noir – two words you’ve been hearing a lot, lately. The delicate grape has enjoyed some serious attention recently, and with the likes of Ard Matthews spouting these sorts of statements wherever he goes, we’re hardly surprised: “I’m convinced that Pinot Noir is one part heat-sensitive grape and 99 parts angel blood. It is the perfect blend between rosé and red, which means it can and must be drunk as often as possible, where possible, if possible.”
Well, this looks like a good way to kill yourself accidentally. What you have here is alcohol powder, derived from cane spirits. And somehow, authorities in the United States have approved it for human consumption.

Look at this. It’s a cellar IN YOUR KITCHEN FLOOR. Keep looking at this. What if I told you could have this. What if I told you that you could pay a local company to do it. In Rand.
Brunch: it’s excellent. The combination of bubbly, soft poached eggs and hollandaise sauce is what is commonly referred to as “the holy trinity.” But some of you are doing it wrong, and you need to improve your lives.
What is the exact definition of “Tennessee Whiskey”, anyway? For an alcohol to qualify as Tennessee Whiskey, it must be fermented in the state from mash of 51 percent corn, aged in brand-new charred oak barrels, filtered through maple charcoal and bottled at over 80 proof. That’s how Jack Daniel’s make their whiskey, which is why they’re allowed to call it that. But that could change if lawmakers in Tennessee get their way.
So you want to have a mini-escape from the rat-race of your concrete-jungle life, but you don’t want to spend 45 minutes in a hot car driving out into the sticks and pay through your nose for the sky-rocketing price of petrol? We feel the same way. And that is precisely why Beau Constantia is […]
