The summer heat has finally arrived and it’s time to rocks those short shorts and summer dresses ladies. But if you are anything like me, the sun is not the only thing you will need sunglasses for. The reflection coming off my almost transparently pale skin can also be quite blinding. So when the opportunity [...]
Some people think that summer is the season for brunches, patios, and all kinds of outings. Those can have some of us worried about our pocket books (do people still use these?), but fear not. I have compiled a list of my favourite 5 things to do that won’t cost you anything but your time [...]

A private room sheltered by glass doors is situated towards the front of the restaurant; four candlesticks in ornate [...]
