We're back! For Season 5! And things in Sydney are getting a little feral! There's a **vibe** in the air, and we're just so happy to be chatting away in your ears again. This week we're talking lingerie and lazy cooking, break-up karaoke and spicy-sweet snacks, a podcast we've both fallen in love with, a photo book to solve all your problems, a website that cuts to all the good (sexy) bits in books and acid-wash florals to suit this new crazy mood.
We're also launching our sweet new paid newsletter option, with our first one due to drop in May. Get on it! We love you!
EAT!

If you’re looking for a salty-sweet-umami snack look no further than Moon Mart’s Chongqing Popcorn. Buy two bags, but hide the second wayyyy back in the cupboard.

SoRo is over cooking full meals, and is just on the “make one fancy ingredient” train. Use Alison Roman’s technique for slow-roasting tomatos to have on hand and prevent yourself from eatng a bowl of shredded cabbage and calling it dinner.

Sentimental in the City is maybe the perfect podcast? It’s 10+ hours of emotional, hilarious, deep dive analysis into Sex and the City - we’ve listend to all of the eps twice.
