This lead to the name Coca-Cola. A future multi-million dollar company was born. The original Coca-Cola forumlar once contained an estimated nine milligrams of…
Up until now, I have always used to joke about what actually gets served in Thai restaurants, but I was never serious about it! After seeing this picture, I think I will stop making jokes.
I got the idea of compiling a list of South African Food & Wine blogs after reading a post by RunningWolfsRant and his list of South African Bloggers on Twitter. I thought, why not do the same but concentrate on food & wine. Plus, this will make #ff so much easier. These blogs don’t appear in…
During April 2010, a photographer named Sally Davies went to her local McDonalds and bought herself a Happy Meal. However, she had no intention of eating it…she only took photos – 180 of them for 180 days. Now, I’m no expert but if I go for a holiday and leave a sandwich on the kitchen…
I love going to the movies and do so about once or twice per month even though the ticket prices are somewhat rediculous. I’ve been told that tickets in Europe are around 15 Euros so we shouldn’t be complaining here in South Africa. Also, I don’t buy into the Hollywood hype of some of the…
I love browsing the internet and StumbleUpon has recently become my new best friend.

Hi, my name is Kayli and I am a blogger. I literally whispered that as I typed it. Why? Because we have a bad rep. People hate bloggers. People are bloggist. I have been relatively safe. I‘ve kept my head down; been honest, but kind; not caused any chaos, but still, I’ve had my fair…

Not that I would…
