Dark, seductive and cheeky. As it should be.

"I've listened to too many podcasts" said no one ever.

Originally famous for their iconic vacuums featuring patented technology (that frankly we still don’t understand), the release of Dyson's Supersonic Hairdryer certainly raised a few (perfectly manicured) eyebrows. This must-have item went on to be a global sell out—and one seriously powerful beauty tool.

She’s rocked festivals like BIGSOUND, Strawberry Fields and NYE On The Hill. She’s released a breakthrough single (‘Numb) and opened for Leon Bridges and RnB master, Maxwell. She’s even collab’d with REMI (on ‘My People) and Sampa the Great. And now she’s on her way to America. Hard to believe Thando is still only 25 years-old.

Say hello to Botanic Box. An incredible new indoor plant subscription service. And the best news is they exclusively deliver indoor plants.

Post-conviction legal processes don’t usually make for riveting television, but we’ll make an exception for Making A Murderer Part 2.

The South Korean island of Jeju (Jeju-do in Korean) is practically made for travellers. Not only does it boast some of the freshest seafood around (gathered by legit mermaids, more on that later) but it also has hikes aplenty to help burn off any guilt from say, that third helping of mackerel at lunch.

Bali. The gift that keeps on giving.

We speak to Aqua's René Dif about pop's greatest era and making Barbie Girl live forever.

It’s official; the next gen of supers have arrived to take over the world. Ever since Kaia Gerber—daughter of genetically blessed supermodel, Cindy Crawford—walked her first runway late last year, all eyes have been on Lila Moss, daughter of equally genetically blessed supermodel, Kate Moss, to make her debut.

It’s a wrap for S/S 19 Fashion Week in New York, London, Paris and Milan. Among the big budget moments—Savage x Fenty’s inclusive game-changer of an inaugural show, Helena Christensen walking for Dolce & Gabbana, and Gigi Hadid’s wedding gown moment at Moschino, just to name a few—it was the avalanche of inspiring beauty moments that have left us dying to chuck out our nude palettes and swap for all things fluoro and glitter. 

There is a lot you look for when buying a suitcase, but guys this Herschel one literally has it all.

While I could say this collab is ‘highly anticipated’ or ‘the best of the year’, frankly I’d be lying. Why? Because Virgil Abloh seems to be on a hot streak and is dropping fire collabs on us left, right and centre. Truth be told, they’re all amazing. 

When we speak about food, we tend to speak in hyperbole. It’s hard not to when we pride ourselves on being ride-or-die foodies.

Cancel all your plans this weekend. Oh, you're trying to save money and just going to stay in? Think again.

Want to get your money sorted but need a bit of a hand? Thankfully if you’ve got a smartphone there are a bunch of apps that can help.

Kylie Jenner took to Instagram to unveil the new Kylie Cosmetics Halloween collection, and we are so on board.

Zoe Foster Blake’s famed Go-To range has been busily flying the flag for Australian beauty products, hooking us (and the rest of the world) on a unique brand of self-deprecating realness paired with products that actually do what they say they will. (And we need say nothing about the gorgeous millennial pink packaging…).

Mickey Mouse and Vans are at it again to celebrate everyone's favourite mouse.  

From local craft breweries, to Insta famous cocktails and a street dedicated to late-night ramen, we’ve teamed up with our friends at Destination Canada to put together the only guide you’ll need to navigate Vancouver’s coolest neighbourhoods - Gastown, SOMA and The West End.

Well Paris Fashion Week is officially over, and we’ve learned a lot. It's been another mammoth week. Let’s jump right into it, shall we?

Lace up, people. Nike are about to drop the new range of Air Force 1 for women, and we’ve managed to nab a sneak peek.

You need to get yourself on this new BBC series Bodyguard, because the hit thriller is coming to Netflix Australia on 24 October.

This stunning mountain range is packed with bushwalks, waterfalls and just generally spectacular scenery everywhere you look—not to mention ample opportunities to cosy up by a fire. If you’re looking for a weekender where you can fully switch off from the demands of life and acquaint yourself with nature—the Bunya Mountains is definitely for you. 

If you’re the proud owner of a spare room with dreams of turning your side hustle into your full-time gig, here’s a dose of inspo to make your cash-filled dreams come true.

Five days, five get-ups with Melbourne sneaker collector Lucas Blackman. 

It’s hard being a millenial, and it’s even harder if your parents are thrifty. We’re the HECS loan generation, the no Youth Allowance for you generation, the congratulations-you’ve-been-approved-for-a-home-loan-lol-jks generation. Without that cushy trust fund to fall back on, you’ve had to work hard, play hard, and then push through that hangover to work even harder.

And yeah, it's as creepy as the podcast.

Hollywood has provided the goods yet again, with a line-up of must-see movies about to drop this October.

Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut (he can act, he can speak French, he can direct. Sigh) had its L.A premiere last night, but it was Lady Gaga, the leading lady in the upcoming music biopic that completely, unabashedly, stole the show—and not least because she is absolute fire in the film (she sings, she plays piano, she acts. SIGH).

Time to prioritise your October viewing, people. Let this article come as one giant warning: a bunch of shows are about to disappear from your Netflix feed. Forever. 

​Want to skip the queues and snag a private dining room at Sydney’s Chin Chin? How about a year’s free yoga in Brisbane? Maybe a private session at Bass & Flinders mixing you own signature gin? Well, they’re all up for grabs.

It’s the mac daddy of true crime, and it’s coming back to Netflix. The long-awaited Making A Murderer Part 2 is launching globally (yep, even here) on 19 October. That’s only a few weeks away, guys.

A leading biochemist dispel myths surrounding periods, the pill and acne breakouts, and tells us how to get happy hormones.

Baggage doesn’t have to be boring. Here are seven suitcases that'll save your style game next time you fly, staycation or road trip. 

 Not just Candy Crush.

Ok hypebeats, time to bust open the piggy bank. The Supreme x Nike FW’18 collection is about to drop, and we’re not gonna lie, it’s a biggie.

Yes, again. But it's even longer this time.

After a year of seeing cocktail nails, coathanger eyebrows, ombre lashes and Christmas nose hair extensions in the spotlight, we’re well overdue for a beauty trend that a) won’t get you kicked out of church, and b) has some form of dermatological benefit. 

Your fave cafe will be shakin' in their boots.

In the age of disposable straws (and fashion) cluttering up the oceans and plastic bags being run out of major supermarkets, it’s never been more appropriate to to fight back and choose to reuse.

​If you want to know what’s happening in Oceanic pro gaming, just ask Michelle Mannering. She’s the unofficial queen of organised eSports and hackathons in Australia, running stages at PAX Australia, writing for international eSports mags, and even hosting an eSports series for CrownBet (now EasyBet). She also plays the odd game from time to time (biggest understatement of the millennium).

Marco Pierre White has co-founded a pretty game-changing app called EatClub. It’s currently revolutionized the Melbourne and Sydney dining scenes, and, like all good things, it’s finally come to Brisbane after all of our patient waiting.

Get ready for the ultimate blast from the past because the PlayStation One is officially making a comeback.

Bet you thought those hours between flights were for handy-wipe showers and napping in a corner didn’t you?

We've teamed up with H&M and three fierce, trailblazing females to showcase just how versatile your spring wardrobe can be. 

Bobbi Brown, reigning champion of the smoky eye and natural, everyday makeup looks, is a dead-set beauty hall of famer. From coveted palettes in a plethora of wearable nudes, to the iconic shimmer brick (the OG of shimmer bricks, for those keeping score), Bobbi Brown has been a stalwart in the beauty industry for well over two decades. Why? Because ALL of their colours are totally wearable (read: they do day-to-night looks like no one else in the biz!)—and we’re all about hard-working, multi-purpose products for your $$$.

If you thought you were living your absolute best life, think again as we have found the ultimate dream job.

Well, the Emmys are done and dusted for another year. And while we love to judge red-carpet outfits from our couches while wearing soup-stained pyjamas, the award ceremony is where the real action is. Think of the winner’s list as your lazy guide to figuring out which shows are worth your time. It’s also worth noting many of the winners are female-lead series this year (fist pump).

Whether you'd define yourself as a space-geek or not, call it wild fascination or complete lunacy, we've all dreamed of flying to outer space and walking on the moon at some point in our lives. Well, guess what? Museum of the Moon is making that trip to space seem a lot closer than you would think...

The Dr. Martens X CDG Collaboration stays true to the original design of the infamous shoe but grabs the attention of every person on the street

In a series all about discovering Sydney's hidden mysteries, spectacles and splendours—we take you to The Floating Forest. 

Get your crew sorted stat.

You may know Alison Wonderland as an international DJ, or for her ARIA-nominated singles “Run” and “U Don’t Know”, her bold hair decisions, or maybe her IDGAF attitude. But to us, she’s Alex Sholler, an electronic DJ queen that us Aussies love to claim as one of our own (one of us, one of us).

Thank you, sweet Netflix gods. We’ve been waiting for this thing since March. Even though the US received its second dose of The Sinner (AKA the greatest show of 2017) in August, little ol’ Australia and New Zealand will have to wait till 9 November for season 2. But things could be worse. I mean, we're still pretty excited.

Did someone say illuminated night kayaking on Moreton Island? Let's get on it. 

The average Aussie spends 100 hours on their lunch break per year. Pretty crazy right? Imagine how many things you could learn, do and explore in that time. The answer? Heaps.

In case you haven’t heard the news yet, Cairns is the next big thing. Why? Because it’s close to the reef, it’s packed full of stunning (and relatively empty!) beaches, there is a plethora of waterfalls nearby to explore, the food is delicious, and because Pacific Hotel is actually that good you’d book a trip to Cairns just to stay there.

Sick of hearing the smashed avo joke thrown back at you when you wax on about ‘adulting’? Same.

Go on, dip your toes in to the best hidden beaches across Australia.

Yes, you want them and yep you can pull ‘em off too. 

All your Sunday inspo wrapped into one handly lil' package.

Crafted with the exemplary vision of the Brett Group (the guys behind Fishbone Local, in case you were wondering), Mason should be on top of your to-do list next time you’re in Canggu. Think modern Australian cuisine with organic ingredients and traditional cooking methods, and you get the magic that is Mason. 

Now, we’re suckers for a high-end department store where the smell of high end perfume gets you whipping out your credit card quicker than you can say overdraft but know this; your local pharmacy stocks some of the beauty industry greats that don’t cost the earth AND that work, mark my words.

Tacos, tick. Warm weather, tick. Stunning beaches, tickety tick. Have I sold you on Mexico yet? Thought so. Now when it comes to Mexico accommodation, there are a few ways you can go. Most Americans head straight for gated super resorts like El Cozumeleño or Riu Palace Riviera, but if you’re looking to skip feeling like a tourist, try these epic designer hotels instead.

Well guys, the end of the year is shaping up to be pretty freaking expensive. There's been some epic collabs over the last few months, but this one might take the cake. 

Australia's most whimsical festival, Let Them Eat Cake, has just dropped its 2019 line-up, and it's looking pretty sweet. This year marks the festival's 7th-anniversary, helping electronic music lovers continue the New Year’s celebrations beyond midnight.

If you don’t know Flex Mami, then you must have been living under a rock. A very uncool rock. Flex, or Lillian to her closest pals, is Australia’s “IT” gal. How did she earn such a title? Because at just 23 she has not one, but FOUR jobs (and counting) and commands an Insta following of over 17K. 

Seriously though, how much time do you have because we’ve been lusting over everything all damn day.

Find me someone who has a good break up story. Honestly, they suck. Breakups are the absolute worst. And arguably the hardest part is splitting all your assets. 

Ok, so it’s tax time. You’re eagerly awaiting getting that sweet sweet cash and know the only thing standing between you and your tax refund is a bit of life admin. But what’s the best way to use this cash?

Another day, another collab doing the rounds on the internet. But we’re not here to discuss the latest sneaker drop or fashion house mash up. No, today we’re bringing to your attention Jelly Belly jelly beans’ wondrously whacky collaboration with the world of Harry Potter. Accio, cravings!

The team spent an entire year within the criminal courts in Cleveland so you'll get to hear everything that happened on the inside.

All your Sunday inspo wrapped into one handly lil' package.

​We’re kicking off a new Book Club series today, so settle down and get comfy. Maybe pop the kettle on. Every month we’ll be checking out a handful of hyped new releases in the literary world, and September is looking like a bumper month. We’ve got J.K. Rowling’s new thriller, a Homeric saga from Pat Barker, and Lisa Brennan-Jobs’ scathing biography of her late dad, Steve. (You know Steve, right?)

Yup, you can get paid to read books while living the high life at a desert island resort, what more could you as more?

The iconic Nike Blazer never ceases to be a source of podiatry inspiration for people far cooler than me. I, of course, have a couple of pairs but I do not wear them with any sort of ironic swagger nor do I have that uncanny ability to make a sneaker look chic when paired with a suit pant. And yet I persist…

The new summer collection features cream denim, lemon yellows and bottle greens. 

Will travel for good coffee.

Okay, so there isn't much info out there for this one yet. It's all very mysterious. But we'll clue you in on what we know so far.

We know, we know, there’s some great new action flicks on Netflix this month. But leave The Mummy and Kickass on hold for two secs—there’s a bunch of epic docos that are probably more important. This month we’ve got terrifying AI game machines, a group of inspiring women in the Congo, and a hot-of-the-presses glimpse into Trump’s midterm campaign.

We can all dream about those dreaded bags and dark circles banishing for good but in the meantime, here’s a few tips on how you can say bye-bye to tired eyes!

In 2017, The Ordinary (part of UK parent company, Deciem) launched around the world, and quickly became the skincare launch of the year. A streamlined, paired back range, their products came without the usual frills; no fancy labelling (though their minimalistic branding has done wonders for their identity and subsequent sales), no ‘cute’ product names, just a focus on simple, hard-working products at a price point that didn’t make your eyes water, or your wallet burn a hole in your pocket.

Come hungry because here’s everything you should see and do in Rome.

Big news, guys. Two of our favourites are teaming up for a pretty sweet collab. PUMA and Polaroid are set to drop their much-anticipated sneaker pack on 8 September. Booyeah. 

​Fire up guys, the FOMO 2019 line-up has been announced and it’s epic. 

The whole process of searching for a new job is the actual pits, right? It’s bad enough you’re over your current role and have missed out on valuable Netflix viewing hours updating your resume, now you have to trawl through job sites looking for something you actually like.

​Brandon ‘Biopanther’ Alexander is one of Australia’s top professional sportsmen, except he does his best work sitting in a chair with a can of Red Bull and some headphones.

For years, Urban Outfitters has stocked the latest brands from fashion, homewares and beauty, with their own fashion label making it near impossible to resist their effortless mix of quirky street style and minimalism. And now, this global giant is dabbling in the beauty arena, yesterday announcing that they’re set to launch their first in-house beauty label, Ohii.

We're about to bless the rains down in Australia.

Set to launch during next month’s New Fashion Week—when else(?)—iconic fashion and beauty house, YSL is levelling up once again, opening a hotel dedicated to all things YSL beauty. Seriously, we can’t make these things up…

The Harry Potter hype is just about to get stronger as it has just been announced that three new books will be added to the ever-growing brand!

Ah, Sweden. They’ve given us a few of our everyday essentials: Skype, Spotify...IKEA. And now an upcoming super-collab between Fjällräven and Acne Studio.

We chat personal uniforms and sustainable fashion with Melbourne label Coreprêt. 

It’s been a real rollercoaster of a week, let me tell you. Only a few days ago Urban Decay announced they would be discontinuing their original (and best-selling, iconic, can’t-live-without-it) Naked eye palette *sob*. I looked down into my almost empty palette, and I’ll be honest, it felt like breaking up with my significant other. Sad times, indeed.

People who like to froth over fancy-pants homewares (so, all of us, basically), we’ve got a shit load of piping hot furniture porn coming at you today—you lucky ducks!

Considering all of the tea that was spilt in the press surrounding allegations against Kevin Spacey late last year, was there any wonder Netflix gave serious thought to axing the Emmy-winning show, House of Cards?

Crazy Rich Asians took the world by storm when it was released in 2013. And, this month the film hit theatres and you’d pretty much have to have been living under a bus not to have noticed the hype.

BrewDog has taken things to a whole new scale and instead of just opening up any old bar has opened the world’s first craft beer hotel, DogHouse!

​Try to control your hype levels. Drink a green tea and pop on Bach’s Cello Suite No.1 or something because the new True Detective trailer just dropped and we don’t want another harsh come down like season two.

Brought to you by the juggernauts behind Stereosonic, Austin City Limits, and Lollapalooza. 

FINALLY.

PSA: just because winter is coming to an end doesn’t mean we won’t be dishing up some cold hard truths. Deep breaths, guys, here’s what you’re in for this week:

There’s something for everyone at the cinemas this month and here’s a list of the must-see movies in September.

Beauty junkies, this’ll make your day; cosmetic big wigs Sephora have announced a mega clearance. And it’s online right. Bloody. NOW!

Europe’s biggest winter festival Snowboxx will take over Queenstown for a full week of slopeside parties and world-class acts!

ASOS has just dropped a 90s inspired Simpsons collection in celebration of its upcoming 30th season, and it is *everything* we could have dreamed of.

Making waves in beauty news this week is none other than global fashion icon, Chanel. With a history steeped in breaking boundaries (Coco herself was a vanguard for gender neutral clothing way back in the 1920’s, championing trousers for women in a time of corsets and dresses—the O.G trendsetter) it should come as no surprise that this iconic French fashion house is playing in the male cosmetics market.

Before there was Dark Mofo, there was Junction Arts Festival. 

Usually these recipes come down to a spare pair of hours muppeting around in the kitchen on a Sunday arvo, trying to pair various saturated fats with complex carbohydrates without triggering a cardiac arrest. But this time, the recipe comes fresh out of the oven of a real-life bonafide Executive Chef and owner of nel. restaurant, Nelly Robinson. 

Last week SZA announced an anti-plastic streetwear label, and we're pretty pumped about it. Not only do the designs look rad, the singer also confirmed that 100% of the proceeds will go to sustainability efforts. 

Think dreamy icicle-like earrings and necklaces, and dark marble-esque vases with metallic flecks that catch the light just right.

When you think IKEA, you think of that bookcase you build back-to-front, ball pits full of screaming kids, and sketchy $1 hotdogs ("I'll have three, thanks"). Space-age furniture collabs with NASA, not so much. 

Shut the front door.

Yep, the world’s biggest (and most inappropriate) card game is on the hunt for new people to write dick jokes and overt Donald Trump references. And they’re paying $40 an hour apparently.

Damn team. Back at it again with the insanely accurate and terrifying horoscopes. That’s what you were thinking, right? Good. Because we’ve been working hard to help you out this week, and you’ll be happy to know you can read without fear. Maybe...

If you’re not familiar with it, investing can seem like a scary concept. You don’t know the first thing about investing or stocks, your mum says it’s basically gambling and, let’s face it, numbers were never your strong suit (or is that just us?!).

There is nothing as tragic or disheartening than coming to the end of an episode and realizing it was the season finale. Our exasperated voices rise up in a chorus of ‘Now what?!’ as we neatly rebuff Netflix’s flimsy suggestions on what to watch next completely miss the mark and prove once again that the algorithm doesn’t know us even half as well as we thought it would.

There’s nothing quite like a fabulously fabulous couch or sofa to make a bold statement in your home.

Fresh off the back of sophomore record Awake (and it's juggernaut success), Sydney DJ Alison Wonderland is hitting the road again for a 4-stop Aussie tour. And damn we're excited.

This pop-up is purely dedicated to a food that we all know and love as it can never do us wrong, PIZZA!

The latest Kith x Coca-Cola collab is about to drop and we are ready. 

This week, the French beauty powerhouse released ‘Climax’ mascara, their latest wonder product, and it’s put the global beauty industry into a tailspin. Now, while mascara doesn’t necessarily have the same je ne sais quoi as, say, their orgasm lip balm that dominated NYC Fashion Week earlier this year, it’s worth noting that Nars doesn’t release a half-baked newbie. Ever. 

Because the cloak of winter is finally being pulled away (not that we can really call ** this ** winter, but hey) we thought there was no better time to pull together a to-do list of the most stunning spots in South East Queensland to explore this weekend.

Ok let me start by flagging that though I suffer from a visceral aversion to horror in all forms, I was also cursed with unquenchable curiosity. This puts me in a right pickle as the latest event pinging on my FOMO-meter is an immersive theatre installation called Séance so at this point I’m just resigned to the fact that I’ll never sleep again.

Famous for her luxury bags and quirky accessories, iconic Brit designer Anya Hindmarch has been responsible for many an ‘it’ bag in her day. But, in a huge plot twist as part of her AW18 collection, Hindmarch has released a limited-edition range of candles, aptly named ‘Anya Smells’.

This staple brand has just dropped a new Gum Block collection to add to their line of never-ending classics by adding a modern twist to things.

Rockstar (the crew behind Grand Theft Auto) has just dropped a glorious, 4K, 6-minute gameplay trailer for the hotly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2. 

​Welcome back, guys. It’s nice to see that you care enough about your lives to keep coming back. It seems there’s a lot happening in your lives atm, and as usual, we’ve cooked up some solid, inspirational advice (courtesy of our magical universe powers) that you should definitely take. Here’s what this week has in store for you.  

A new Boutique Hotel is opening in NYC and they’re offering $89 rooms. Run don’t walk.

Time to empty those savings accounts, guys. The Meredith Line-Up for 2018 has been announced, and it's a bit of a doozy. 

Cue 80s sprinkler dance move.

Finding the perfect event space is hard. Nothing is ever cool enough, the right price, or feels like it’s perfect for you. We get it. We’ve been there done that, and have the Google history filled with “cool event space near me” to prove it.

We’re 100% calling this the beauty look of the summer.

If you needed another excuse to escape winter and head to Bali, Tropicola is it. The brand new beach club from the guys behind Seminyak's iconic Motel Mexicola will be sitting pretty on Seminyak Beach by August 2018—giving Mount Agung plenty of time to settle down so we can actually get there!

Hardcore Potter-fans better whip out the Visa because the Harry Potter Film Concert Series continues with a classical rollick through the Grammy-nominated scores of the Goblet of Fire.

Starbucks ain't the only internet hub around.

In case you aren’t familiar with God’s greatest gift to man, it’s mac & cheese. In fact, you’ve probably heard your non-vegan mates carry on about it, usually when they’re about twelve Furphys deep and scrolling through UberEATS at a speed of seven venues a second. 

Everyone knows that older siblings are guinea pigs. Yes, they often have ridiculous bedtimes, and alright sure, they pretty frequently get handballed the responsibility of raising their brothers and sisters, but there are actually a long list of perks that come with ditching the womb first, and they have nothing to do with height.

It turns out that what used to get delivered to you in a brown paper bag with your name stamped on it all those years ago can really say a lot about a person. 

Happy August, guys. It’s nice to see that you’re brave enough to keep coming back. We’ve been working tirelessly with the wind and the rain and whatever other magic sh*t it takes to predict your future this week, and they’re not looking too bad (or are they).

Choose between hitting the bar or sweating up a storm on the barre is a thing of the past thanks to nightclub-esque workout classes, the latest fitness trend that is quickly becoming the healthier way to get lit.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but it shouldn’t.

Okay ladies and gents it’s time for some #realtalk. Humans buy about one million plastic bottles per minute. Oh, and worldwide, only 10-13% of plastic items are recycled. The vast majority of plastic is accumulating in landfills or being tossed into the environment as litter and much of it is ending up in the oceans.

It’s that time of the month, guys. We’re chucking on our top hats, polishing our opera glasses and getting some good ol’ fashioned culture. Some people think art and theatre are the cultural equivalent of eating your greens—but who cares? Greens are good for you. They have vitamins and stuff. And they taste great when you cover them in pork and oyster sauce...were getting side-tracked.

Yep, that’s right—grab your besties and run to your nearest Mecca because the whole Max range has been switched up, improved and is now proudly 100% vegan and cruelty free. 

#urbancultureis

Winter is well and truly here, guys. Now is not the time to be frolicking outside, being adventurous. Now is the time to *embrace* all the lazy you hold inside you, cocoon yourself in nineteen blankets and glue yourself to the nearest screen.

It’s time to chat about Bali; you’ve all been there once or twice in your lifetime. You’ve probably ticked Seminyak off your bucket list, and perhaps Ubud, Uluwatu and Canggu, too. But, what if we were to name-drop a little place called Nusa Lembongan? Would that ring any bells or are you more likely to think; ‘Nusaywhaaat?’.

Nothing gets us hyped more than a good documentary - it's basically all the fun of a classic Netflix binge, but you get to feel like a #intellectual at the end of it. 

We’ve rounded up a list of the best books that will make you feel cultured, but also won't make you want to stab a fork into your eye. 

In what we can only describe as a stroke of genius, the Australians of the Year gang over at Gelato Messina have gone above and beyond this time around, creating probably the most Aussie of all gelato flavours. May we present to you, Fairy Bread gelato. (Permission to lose your shit, 100% granted!)

A donut flavoured ice-cream and an ice-cream flavoured donut. Genius.

If you thought gin drinkers were sexy, gin cheese lovers are damn next level

And it friggin' works.

Could Bundaberg be the new ultimate weekend getaway? Whether it’s the rum, the sunshine or the wildlife that will bring you to Bundaberg, there are plenty of reasons to stay for a while. 

Hello again lovely people. It’s nice to see that you still take enough interest in your lives to come back and read what the next week will bring you. They’re actually not that doom and gloom this week (unless you’re a Gemini, a Libra or a Scorpio… sorry) so feel free to read without your eyes hiding behind your hands.

I’ve toured a few things in my time. And by thing’s, I mean wineries and by toured, I mean I made my husband take hundreds of “casually walking through the vines” photos until he wondered if there was a divorce clause citing irreconcilable Instagram’s. So when I heard about doing a tour at Cape Byron Distillery I thought…you know what? Too long have I been a slave to the wine man, tasting his Pinot, swirling his Sav...NO MORE!

The recent success of shows like Call the Midwife, The Crown and good ol’ Downton Abbey proves that we all love a cheeky bit of historical fiction. Nothing captures the imagination like the secret dramas of the English court or the glitz and the glamour of the 1920’s. While a TV show is all well and good, actually reading a piece of historical fiction just takes things to a whole new level, letting you completely immerse yourself in a whole new world.

I’m not really sure how we got here, but welcome. The food universe has thrown cruffins, milo martinis and turducken benedict at you and it still wasn’t enough. So, we’ve ventured to the ends of the Instagram earth to find you something that’ll really make mum and dad scoff and withdraw any and all financial support—the mighty rainbow toastie.

London is old news team.

Spoiler alert: it’s delish.

No, this is not an image of the new Beats By Dre offering, nor is it some vibrating facial cleanser (though, we are fans of those). No, friends, this is the 2018 adaptation of your hardworking hairbrush. The Rolls Royce of hair, if you will. Deep breaths and take it all in for a moment.

The term Dim Sim dates back to the late 1920’s, but the classic recipe we know and love today is thought to have been developed in Melbourne’s Chinatown toward the end of World War 2.

Including when and where you can see it in Sydney, and why the moon will be red.

For a surefire whale of a time.

If you’re a follower of all things #health and #goodvibes, you might have seen crystal water and crystal water bottles pop up on the ‘gram. Fruit-infused water is so 2017, gemstones are where it’s at. 

Ah, we meet again, friends. Welcome back and congratulations on making it through another chilly, miserable winter week. As usual, we’ve worked tirelessly with the universe, the solar system and mother nature to bring you your weekly predictions. Not surprisingly, they’re a bit miserable for a few of you… sorry.

We’ve got your monthly round-up of the month’s best silver-screen offerings, and damn do they look bloody good!

‘Tis the season to not shave your legs and cover it up with stockings.

A house is not a home without artwork. The right pieces don’t just set the tone of your home, they also say something about you, and help you express who you are, and feel grounded in your space. So investing in some quality pieces that you love is important, and can be a lot of fun. That said, we don’t always want to ‘invest’ quite as much money as what all the lust-worthy pieces we see on Insta are going to set us back.

Splendour In The Grass is taking centre stage this weekend in good ol’ Byron Bay, which means some of Australia’s loosest units will be converging in the one crusty paddock for a full weekend of glorious delinquency.

We’re (almost) half way through this frosty hell we call winter (just because the sun is out doesn’t make it warm. Fact) and our skin’s dewy post-summer glow has all but been ravaged by icy winds, office air-conditioning and ‘sub’-zero temps.

To celebrate one year since Maccas launched on Uber Eats #thankgod

Think cinnamon and orange peel to spice-up your whiskey.

Now that the mercury has plummeted through the floor and triggered a mass deficit of electric blankets at Harvey Norman, the only thing left to do is snuggle up with a good book and a hot Milo (that’s one part milk, 6 parts Milo, 9 parts marshmallow). 

It came out two days ago and we’re already hooked.

You mean you’ve never been?

It’s easy to get your shred on when summer and the prospect of baring your tum at the beach is approaching, but waaaaay harder to find the motivation in the depths of winter. Lucky for you, we’ve gone out and found the eight best fitness apps to help you keep up your fitspo journey in the colder months.

We asked the hard questions and you answered—who does the best burger, coffee, breakfast and everything in between on the Gold Coast! It’s like chosing between your children, but you did it! We’ve trawled through all your votes for your fave hot spots in the Gold Coast and without further ado, here they are:

The problem with Tinder is that it’s a lot. A lot of swiping to find your matches, and a lot of people on there. Like, basically everyone. 

Making your life easier one fast-food order at a time.

Safe space, guys, when Netflix first announced back in 2017 it had Sabrina The Teenage Witch on the cards for a remake we wondered how it could possibly match the original series’ nostalgic 90s vibes?

Hands up who loves (read: desperately needs) a holiday? Hands up who needs a cheap holiday? That’s what we thought. Well, folks, we’ve got some freakin’ huge news for then: Flight Centre’s infamous travel expo is heading to town this weekend only, and you can grab a seriously impressive discount on your trip.

Congratulations, fam. If you’re reading this then it means you’ve made it through all of the sh*t we predicted for you over the past few weeks. Snaps for you. However, you still have to get through this week, and it’s not looking too fab for a lot of you (shock-horror).

Having nothing to wear is a real problem. One that seems to only bless the less stylish of us. After much research (read: stalking cool girls on Instagram) we can confirm that these six items are the building blocks of stylish wardrobes around the world.

Guys, let’s get one thing clear: we’re suckers for a good margarita. Safe to assume you are too, given you’re reading this article, probably messaging your crew with the news that it’s most definitely almost marg o’clock. How did we know? We may or may not be doing that as we write this article.

The Dry July recipes by Claire Turnbull use all natural ingredients and SodaStream sparkling water, not only are they delish but also healthy!

This new collection, which has officially landed Down Under, is “a tribute to the beloved R&B icon and the generation she inspired.”

The plastic bag ban is in full force, so it’s time to stock up on your reusable shopping bags. Single use plastic bags come from petroleum (a finite world resource) and have some pretty nasty effects when they get into the environment.

Havana, ooh na-yass! Okay, so we’re not needing to bring you up to speed on the song. (You know the one.) Camila Cabello’s 2018 smash has been the song to our commuting lives this year.

ICYMI, astrofashion is totally a thing.

We’ve all grown up being told breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that we absolutely must eat every three hours and carry snacks at all times to avoid hanger, but recently experts have changed their tune.

And we’re all kids again.

Presenting our most important recipe to date—cat wine.

Don’t worry about counting glasses, because Sirromet are offering you a place to crash. The family-owned winery has just launched luxury accommodation which promises to bring you closer to nature. It’s called Sanctuary, and it’s ideal for a luxe getaway.  

We’ve been in touch with the stars again and the holy gods and whatever else we need to in order to bring you your weekly predictions.

Good God, people. It’s just a bloody TV show. And before you @ me telling me I can’t possibly begin to appreciate if I’ve never watched it, please know that I know you’re right.

​We know that places like New York City, Miami and LA are on your bucket list. Hell, they’re on ours! But remember that America is a HUGE place (one of five countries bigger than Australia #funfact) and it has heaps of non-touristy places that are 100% worth your time.

If there’s one thing we’re passionate about here at The Urban List (besides eating our body weight in food and knocking back delicious cocktails on the regs) it’s nailing down a skincare regime that won’t break us the hell out. So, with that in mind, we’ve rounded up all the tried and true products that have never steered us wrong.

Ready for it.

You know, to fill that Love Island-shaped void.

After six weeks of watching a dozen micro influencers doused in eleventeen layers of Bondi Express tan smash lips, hurl fat slurs and collectively desecrate the relationship standards of an entire generation of young girls, we now eagerly await the crowning of Australia’s most dysfunctional king and queen.

We’ve taken the guesswork out of your next visit to the shoe department.

There are certain reboots that should remain frozen in the frames of time. Half the time a remake never, ever is as good as the original, so it’s best left the heck alone. Well, most of the time, anyway…

If you needed another excuse to escape winter and head to Bali, Tropicola is it. The brand new beach club from the guys behind Seminyak's iconic Motel Mexicola will be sitting pretty on Seminyak Beach by August 2018—giving Mount Agung plenty of time to settle down so we can actually get there.

With the end of this epic clusterf*ck well and truly in site, and Millie safe back home on Australian soil, there’s very little to start punch ups over in the villa at the moment but Grant and Eden will have a jolly crack, don’t you bloody worry.

ICYMI Yacht Week is the floating paradise of your dreams.

It was deliciously bad enough that Pennywise hit our screens last year in what was arguably the most scary movie but now we hear the evil clown is making a comeback this year.

​It’s 3pm—prime snacking time—but there are just a few problems: you’re bored senseless of your standard green apple, you’re hangry and you’re about to flip your keyboard and walk straight out of the office door unless you eat something soon.

Grant cries, Tayla cries, Erin cries... you get it. 

The most tense dumping yet.

Let us proudly introduce you to Habitat Noosa. This place is a glamping and camping game-changer on the Sunshine Coast. It's even got it own bistro and bar. 

Is all that Netflix binging making your brain go numb? Feel like everything you’re watching is pure trash? (We're looking at you, Love Island). Well, we've got the fix And it doesn’t involve going outside (it’s much too cold). It involves switching your reality show garbage for some sweet documentaries.

Yeah, they got you (all of you).

You won’t even need binoculars to spot it.
