Here at The Urban List we hand on heart believe dogs are life, so when we found out WA was getting its first indoor sports academy for dogs our invisible tails were wagging in delight. 

Perth, there's a lot going on right now in case you hadn't noticed. Hibernian Place is obviously going strong with it's latest eatery opening today, East Perth recently got a new cafe and a boutique pop up cinema for winter, and even the west end of the city is going nuts with The Melbourne redevelopment and new bar Tiny's across the road. So just as we started to forget what was going on in Northbridge, a late night restaurant and bar opens and pretty much blows our minds.

What’s inside a lunchbox in 2018? Date and tahini protein balls with activated buckinis? A mason jar full of bircher muesli and low-fat yoghurt? A can of oxygen?

You should be well acquainted with The 5TH by now, their range of watches has been adorning wrists around Australia—and the world—for a while now, and this week they’re launching a whole new range of small leather goods.

It’s the hump day equivalent of the Love Island week, and yes that phrase has a double meaning that’ll make you blow chunks on your plush bathrobe. This week is proving slightly more eventful than the steaming pile of autumnal bikinis that was last week, but in terms of quality viewing, I wouldn’t put it much higher than a Shaun The Sheep marathon.

BRB much streaming to do.

Cue childhood nostalgia.

FYI it’s pronounced ‘fran-swah-z’.

​Gingers have had a lot of hardship in their lives, but this week will see the end of one of our many fought battles. That’s right—ginger emojis are about to drop and we can’t be any. More. Excited. 

Sure you can get bananas, condoms and surgical masks from vending machines in Tokyo, but there’s no need to lower yourself to coffee in a can (well, maybe just once). The truth is, Tokyo ain’t far behind Melbourne in the coffee stakes—finding a three-quarter latte or a good single origin isn’t as hard as you might think. 

If you’re headed south on the Fremantle train line, you might want to do yourself a favour and hop off a stop early. North Fremantle has really come into its own over the past few years, and the small, once quiet Queen Victoria Street strip is now packed with everything from coffee to clothes, beers and brunch.

Some people are gonna reach for the vom emoji at the mere mention of “non-alcoholic gin”. Surely that’s like a meat-free Bolognese, right? Or a Cruise-free Mission Impossible? Well there’s actually a growing movement for non-alcoholic spirits, and gin is leading the charge. After all, you can still get those floral botanicals in there without the booze. And these guys won’t leave you crying on the stairs at 2am throwing shoes at people who love you.

If you’re anything like us, you will have had a trip to Paris on your bucket list for years. And why wouldn’t you? Croissants for breakfast, endless servings of cheese, and a city so pretty you won’t ever get tired of the view. Well, stop that day-dreaming right now and consider this a sign: Bastille Day is fast-approaching and it’s the absolute best time to visit Paris if you want the full French experience.

AKA the night it got (kind of) good. 

These days, all it takes to turn your phone into a bona fide fitness coach is a double tap and swift download from the App store. With the boom of digital fitness, there’s no shortage of fit-tech designed with the sole focus of helping you get active and sweaty. Whether you’re an endurance runner, testing out the waters with your first HIIT session or looking for new ways to get bendy on the mat – you can bet, that there’s a fitness app for that.

We don’t mean to alarm you, but Il Lido has brought back their Dine Italy 20-week series to save winter and it’s already two weeks in.

Getting away with the girls is what life is made of. Whether it’s a road trip complete with ancient iPod sing-alongs and chicken salted chips, an inner-city staycation topped off with cocktail bars, galleries and sleep-ins, or anything in between, a good girl’s weekend can really rejuvenate the soul.

Week one, done and dusted.

Spoiler; no one likes a long-haul flight. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact no one can contact me for upwards of 12 hours—actual bliss—but the effects of being 30,000 ft in the air has on my skin? Not so much.

Welcome to day four on Nice-Bum-What’s-Ya-Name-I’ll-Snog-Ya-Anyway Island! After another tumultuous sixty minutes of watching a dozen mature adults grapple with the social and environmental injustices of the modern world (flat chests and wind) it’s about fair to say that Australia’s next generation is fully f*cked if these people procreate. If you can, throw a coin in a fountain and say a small prayer for our country today.

Guys, this is not a drill. Milo cocktails actually exist in Perth and you need these in your life right this instant, if not sooner!

You might talk a big ‘gourmet burger’ game, guys. But we know in your heart of hearts you’d sell your Grandma for one more bite of a BigMac. Doesn’t matter how much chipotle aioli and caramelised onion is out there—come 1am you’ll be standing beneath those buzzing florescent lights like some crazed evangelist.

That’s right, sh*t’s about to get real and your arteries about to explode. We’ve tracked down the biggest life expectancy culling beverage on the Australian bar scene at the moment and it promises to be nothing less than a heart attack in a glass. While Golden Gaytime everything has basically enveloped this country over the last 18 months, crawling its way into breakfast dishes (Golden Gaytime french toast anyone?), lunch menus and dessert cafes. But this year it went one step further and landed it’s way on the bar scene, perfecting a total food scene takeover.

We are the truth bringers! Send us your PIN numbers...is what we would be saying if we started our own cult. And speaking of cults, have you guys SEEN Wild Wild Country yet? It’s cracked our must-watch docos this month, and we highly suggest adding it to your binge list. In fact it’s all solid gold this June: high-end design, a new true crime banger, and Michael Moore’s new political doco (he’s got Trump in his sights).

If you haven’t been to Granada in Spain, you are absolutely missing out. Yeah it's beautiful, and yeah it’s home to the Alhambra which is probably one of the most spectacular places you’ll ever visit, but MOST importantly, you get FREE tapas with just about every glass of wine you purchase. Anywhere. Amazing, no?

Come on in, the water’s warm.

Kmart addicts, put down that credit card (just for a moment), as we bring you five super simple tips you can implement to make your home worthy of your Pinterest feed.

We have more So Fresh CD’s in Australia than people use Tinder. Onya ‘Straya. So, dust off your low-rise jeans (and your boots with the fur) and get on down. Just to make sure you’re totally prepared: we’re here to rank the Top Ten So Fresh albums. Let's get the ball rolling. 

Fresh from her appearance on Bachelor In Paradise Australia and her trip to the US to make it work with Grant—rumours are flying about that your girl Ali Oetjen is going to get the boot as Australia’s next Bachelorette.

What did we just watch?

Duh. 

June is set to be a biiiig month for blockbusters, with brand new Universal Pictures and Disney flicks hitting our shores. We really mean it when we say there is something for everymovie go-er this month from action packed CGI, to a decade-long awaited animation, and a supernatural thriller that will make your hairs stand on end. So take your pick, pass the popcorn and treat yourself to a night of indulgence with a trip (or two, or three) to the movies! 

Packed with flamingos, yellow towns and hidden cenotes

Orange isn’t the new black... yellow is. 

Blasta Brewing opened in Burswood back in March and has been going great guns, but not ones to rest on their laurels, they're upping the ante with something a little bit different.

Winter is coming. For reals. And considering we live in a city where summer lasts for a good six months, Perth winter can really mess with our heads.

If you search for ‘pure bliss’ in the Dictionary, it’ll read something along the lines of: reclining back after a hard day’s work on a sunny lounger with an overflowing G&T. Promise.

The Laylow Waikiki has turquoise hues and pastel pink tones aplenty.

It’s time to get your running shoes out, because the HBF Run For A Reason is this weekend. For those of you who refuse to lift a finger (or leg) without the first sip of your early morning java, we’ve got you covered. Grab yourself a cup of piping hot coffee before the run and let the caffeine kick give you the speed for the need.

You may think you can wear your thongs year round in Perth—but it’s about to get chilly! So cancel your Brazilian, stock up on red wine and get your Uggs out, because Winter IS Coming.

While it might seem crazy to some, lovers of running and masochists alike will travel great distances to run great distances. Like laughter, running is universal, and marathons have a history that goes way back in time. When you run a marathon, you aren’t just running a race—you’re contending with distance and with your own mind. But you’re also running in the footsteps of millions of people who’ve run these distances before you, for reasons spanning from necessity to insanity.

We're not going to lie, we're longtime fans of Jesters' pies, but it's been a while since we've sunk our teeth into one. But that's all about to change because we just found out about their brand new cheeseburger pies about five minutes ago!

We all know Perthlings love a good pop up bar, but we always thought we could only have that kind of goodness in summer. But as it turns out, Perth is being blessed with not one, but two pop up bars this winter!

When a neighbourhood icon like The Other Side gets a new owner and announces a revamp, regulars wait with bated breath to see whether their morning coffee spot will still fit the bill. But when the pair who brought us Daisies Cottesloe took the reigns at The Other Side, we knew there’d be no need for concern. And we were right!

Ohhhh, winter. You’re so close we can feel it (literally).

People are becoming more aware of the impact consuming animal products has on our bodies and our planet and are gradually reducing their intake. With so many ways of doing this, you can hardly blame us for feeling a little lost when it comes to understanding what all these diets actually mean. We set out to discover what the differences between veganism and plant-based eating really are, and this is what we found.

Solo: A Star Wars Story is one of the most eagerly awaited flicks of 2018, and Perth, we know the best way to celebrate its cinematic release on 24 May. We’ve whipped up a go-to-guide for experiencing Australia’s sauciest city based on your favourite Star Wars character.

Hands up who likes a bit of Mexican?

Those familiar with Sarah and Sebastian’s aesthetic know their designs are ultra-minimal and foxy in the extreme, which makes them perfect investment pieces if you need an excuse to splash out.

Hold on to your face masks, kids! Just when you thought we’d reached peak beauty obsession levels, along comes another skincare ritual *guaranteed* to make your noggin shine like Meghan Markle’s finger (note: life is unfair etc).

There’s no denying it, buying condoms can feel super awkward, particularly for young women. All you want is to get in to the store, shove that receipt into your annoyingly-little-why-are-they-so-small-coin purse, avoid eye contact, and get out.

​How many times have you said you're going to escape Perth's winter and head to Broome? But when faced with the prospect of paying $800 for a return flight to Broome or $300 for Bali, we somehow wind up in Canggu every damn time.

Let’s face it, most of us are probably living in a rental at the moment and will continue to do so for years to come – even if we cut back our so-called outlandish spending on life’s very important necessities like smashed avocado on toast.

We've designed this quiz to help you get out of your career rut and find the job of your dreams. 

We are so here for it. 

There’s been a serious proliferation in Perth’s ramen offering of late and we are far from unhappy about it. The latest newbie on the scene is IPPUDO, a laid-back, fast-paced ramen joint sitting pretty in Kings Square with a line out the front that snakes around the corner. Take it from us: the food is worth the wait.

Been feeling like something is missing from your life but not quite sure what it is? Chances are, it's kitten yoga. It's not something we've ever really thought about before, but not that we know it's a think, we are positive it will make your life 200% better!

There ain't no party like a royal wedding party.

We'd sell our left foot to attend.

#TeamLaurel for the win. 

Winter is here, folks! Seriously though, how did that happen?!

Whisky lovers, you may or may not be aware that World Whisky Day is fast approaching. And look—if you’re anything like us, you’ll have had plans to celebrate in place since last year, but if not, don’t worry: you can celebrate by showing some TLC to your whisky collection with these hacks. 

Sick of ordering Thai takeaway and eyeballing your phone for an hour while they ‘prepare your order’? Made a promise to yourself to eat less Boost Bars and more bean sprouts? Turning on the charm this weekend and making that someone special more than Mi Goreng? This is your recipe.

ICYMI Solo: A Star Wars Story is being released in cinemas real soon and we feel like little kids anticipating Christmas as we (not so) patiently await its arrival on 24 May.

Perth, the royal wedding is almost here and if you haven’t figured out your plans for Saturday night you’ll want to lock something in ASAP!

If like me, you’re filled with the constant guilt of having to leave your best friend at home when you go to work then you’re about to have that weight lifted.

Not sure WTF it is? We got you. 

If hunting down hidden gems is your idea of a good time then buckle in, we’re about to uncover one of Perth’s best.

If you’re reading this it’s likely that you are a bogan, because one of the signs of being a bogan is not being 100% certain you are, in fact, a bogan. But just in case you’re not convinced (you’re definitely a bogan), we’ve partnered up with GO Homes to bring you a handy checklist you can go through to put an end to the denial once and for all.

Just a whole heap of #poolporn really to up your next vacay by a few hundred likes.

How do you make your downward facing dog 147 times more fun? Let us tell you. Add a cold brewski (or two) and a room filled with like-minded, slightly tipsy individuals—let’s just visualise this for a minute. What could possibly go wrong?

With not one, now two new product launches to market in 2018 (and we’re not even half way through), it’s a wonder why their creative team don’t just pack it in and go on a very long, very overdue, holiday.

Whisky lovers of the world, your holy day is here: Saturday 19 May is World Whisky Day, meaning we can finally come together to celebrate everyone’s favourite spirit. To celebrate, we’ve teamed up with Liquorland to put together three delicious recipes to celebrate the big day with. All that’s left for you to do is to stock up and get mixing!

If you were already excited about the fact that it's Friday, get ready to be blown away, because RoyAl's Chicken and Burgers has announced they'll be opening their latest shop in Northbridge today.

When it comes to our furry friends, it's important that there are no personality clashes so that you and pup can become fast besties.

Athleisure is the trend that isn’t pausing to take a breath. Gone are the days of pulling on sagging tights and your boyfriends old tee to jog in, now it’s all about technical, sweat-wicking fabrics and quality kit that works as hard as you do. But more than just for gym class, living in your activewear has become a “lifestyle” and TBH, it’s the ultimate in convenience. Whether you’re heading straight from class to running errands or grabbing coffee with friends after a long coast walk, you can do it all in lycra.

Stars like Scarlett Johannsen, Miranda Kerr and Victoria Beckham swear by it, but why?

It’s the question every gal asks on the daily, how the heck do I apply false lashes like a pro without covering myself with icky-sticky glue.

Is it just us or do the summer holidays feel like a distant memory? With winter fast approaching, what we (and you!) really want need is a holiday to look forward to.

Mardi Gras was just a taster.

It’s the ultimate nostalgia tour.

She loves pasta, just like you. 

Let's be honest, your commute to and from work is unlikely to be an exciting time. You're just getting from point A—B and trying to avoid that guy with the serious coffee breath in the process. Fortunately, our Commuters' Guide To Podcasts is here with your solution, offering you bountiful recommendations to escape the monotony of that dreaded train trip. And all tailored down to the length of your commute.

To say the guys behind Mary Street Bakery have been busy lately is an understatement. After taking Mount Lawley, West Leederville and the CBD by storm with their infamous doughnuts, epic coffee and drool-worthy breakfasts, the boys opened their new bar Tiny's at QV1 last week, but as the saying goes, there is no rest for the wickedly good doughnut creators.

Think of this as your last-minute crash course on all-things royal.

Tax deductible holidays are the best kind of holidays

Sri Lanka is the destination on everyone's travel lips at the moment, and with so many things to do in Sri Lanka we knew we had to stretch this one out as far as it could go.

New kids on the burger block, Juicy Buns will be popping up at one of our fave cafes, Timber in Harrisdale for the next two Saturday nights to make all your burger dreams come true.

Badlands Bar in Northbridge will be hosting a lavish veggie fiesta, complete with some amazing vegan food, wine, and beer on Sunday, 20 May 2018.

Minimise and simplify: this is the current mantra I’m (attempting to) live by when it comes to locking down my skincare regime. All those lotions and potions promising crystal clear, youthful skin, serums ‘guaranteeing’ a visage akin to a baby’s backside—I tell you, it’s bloody exhausting trialling and testing them all to see if one might just actually do what it promises (and that’s before you even dare to look at what remains of your bank balance in the process, and while taking note of ALL the ingredients sinking into your skin).

If there ever was a time to bust out your finest fancy dress and enlist your BFF to help you perfect that scar, that time is now people! The good people at The Guildford Hotel are hosting a grand feast to rival Hogwarts' and you're going to want to get involved!

And everything is free.

Just when you thought it was safe to put away your monocle, we’re busting out the best shows, productions and exhibitions you need to catch this month. Here, there and everywhere. We’ve got new opera in Melbourne, Viva rocking into Sydney and talks by the legendary David Sedaris (you’ll have to fly to LA for that one, but you know...)

Perth, say hello to the new centre of town! While the Terrace will always have a place in our hearts, there’s a new spot in town that’s bringing the best of Northbridge and the city together—Kings Square.

RSPCA WA will be hosting two events with its rescue puppies in the city on 4 May and 11 May respectively, to promote its Million Paws Walk.

The Western Australian Symphony Orchestra will host a high-def screening of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on Friday 4 May, and Saturday 5 May.

2018 has already been a year of record-breaking blockbusters and award-winning indie flicks, so how lucky are we to be getting even more Hollywood goodness in cinemas this month. 

Sometimes it can be a little frustrating trying to curb your authentic Italian pasta craving with a packet of Oreos and a carrot stick. Fortunately, damn delicious vegan cuisine exists, it’s just about knowing where to find the right recipe.

Fly home for zero dollars.

Event Cinemas will be hosting special screenings of Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s upcoming nuptials on May 19.

This is Fiji, the place where love is made forever.

We just blinked, and now it's May. And while we spent most of April either on the couch or in bed streaming absolutely everything possible—we've got more work to do.

Cancel your plans, Perth, there’s an epic food and wine festival coming to the south west this winter and it’s going to be lit!

So, mere hours after we were lead up the garden path with the news that Lisa Hyde could be the next Bachelorette, Channel 10 throws an enormous spanner in the works and announce that actually, Tim's stalker from season 1 of The Bachelor--Ali Oetjen--will be grabbing a bunch of roses and will be the next Bachelorette.

Well it’s about damn time. 

Somehow, we’ve made it to the final week of this crap heap without busting a lung, and for what?

Welcome to your weekly horoscope forecast. Kinda like a weather forecast, except less Liv Nixon telling us about the likelihood of needing a brolly tomorrow and more what juicy drahmz your next seven days have in store. Read and weep, astro-fiends. 

because LBH the only reason we travel are for the buffet breakfasts

Hands up who’s dreaming of a European summer?! A yiros in the Greek Islands after a day of island hopping, getting lost in the back streets of Paris, an Aperol Spritz on a balmy Italian afternoon—there’s just that pesky two-day travel time in getting there. Eugh.

If dewy skin and shimmery cheek bones are your thing, we'll bet you’ve tried every champagne-hued powder and cream going (same). Well, listen up, there's a new highlighter on the market promising baby soft, glowy skin only comparable to an arvo spent in 90% humidity—and it's a jelly. You heard right: a jelly.

Vogue Australia will be hosting the Kennedy Art Ball at the Art Gallery of Western Australia on 26 May.

Located next to the post office on the corner of Beaufort Street & Ninth Avenue Inglewood, iLPASTO has everything you’d expect from a classic Italian trattoria—a warm, family-style atmosphere, relaxed-yet-efficient service, and of course, enough carbs to leave you in a very pleasant food coma.

After rocking our world with The Flour Factory, Varnish on King and Caballitos, we thought Andy Freeman was just going to take over the west end of Perth, but he's keeping us on our toes with his latest venue—Hadiqa—which is opening down the eastern end of the city at Hibernian Place tomorrow. 

Margaret Atwood’s critically acclaimed show is back on our small screens tonight people, filling the substantial TV void this (and Game of Thrones, ahem) has left in our non-existent social lives—and you better be damn sure you’ve got your iron stomach in check cos this season is gearing up to be, well, pretty effed up.

We are dead. 

Buckle up boys and babes, a saucy AF burlesque show produced in honour of film legend Quentin Tarantino is coming to Perth and we’re sizzling with excitement.

Looking for some hot dinner party topics? You’re gonna stir the pot with these truth-busting documentaries. We’ve got a good mix for you this month: some historical conflict, the secret history of sex dolls, a candid look at Maria Sharapova’s drug comeback and a new one from the director of The Exorcist (spoiler: it’s about exorcisms).

The team behind Mary Street Bakery is all set to open their new venture, Tiny's, on 30 April at the QV1 Plaza.

The film adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s bestseller is here and, one thing’s for sure, you’ll want to treat yo’self to a choc top and large popcorn.

If you’re anything like us, then the word free will always get your attention (especially when it comes to food). Unfortunately, though, it can be hard to find fun things to do when you’re running low on funds. Luckily for you, we’ve teamed up with the legends at Ola Cabs to show you that the best things in life really are free.

Because everything that comes out of a food truck is better, right?

The time to binge is now.

Welcome to another seventy minutes of every dermatologist’s dream.

 If you’ve tried to become a gym bunny but it’s just never going to happen, there’s still plenty of cheap (and fun!) ways to get fit.

There are plenty of things to do in Perth this Anzac Day and Anzac Day eve, and guess what?! You can even play some Two-Up this year!

Things are happening at Tiisch. Big things. New things. Amazing, delicious things. With new Head Chef Brian Miller (hailing from The Trustee and Must Wine Bar) taking over the kitchen knives from co-owner Sven Sander, both the menu and the business are getting a bit of a new direction—specifically, they’re now open for dinner, and the French-inspired menu is somewhat of a marvel.

A day off is a great excuse for some time in the kitchen (after you've paid your respects to the diggers, of course!), so tighten those apron strings, Urban Listers, because we have an Anzac bi

So I know you guys are wondering how you’re going to celebrate next month’s royal nuptials between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Do you a) throw an English tea party complete with Pimms, cucumber sandwiches and spotted dick pudding, b) practice the unique art of queuing or c) commit to the workout that got Harry’s fiancee such a bangin’ bod and sign up to the May Megaformer challenge at La Fit Studio?

Our favourite brain cell-crushing feature-length sunscreen ad is back for its fifth week.

When you think about how much time we spend inside our homes it doesn’t make sense to be haphazard with the décor. It doesn’t need to look like the Guggenheim but acknowledging the power of a well-placed cushion to transform a room is the first step to becoming an interiors god… The second step is having a creative breakdown when the internet yields an utter lack of interior inspiration.

Featuring a rooftop bar!

So that we’re clear, I love Kimmy K. If she endorses a product, especially skincare (have you seen her visage? Insta filter or not, she’s #flawless) I’m alllll in.

Stop everything.

To date, Jarrod’s developed more moles than love interests, Leah’s had more Corona’s than kisses, Simone’s lost more friends than job prospects and Apollo’s caught more eyes than volleyballs.

Soph is back!

Welcome to another episode of Drunk Skunks Get Loose At A Ritzy Western Resort & All Drown Trying To Paddleboard. It’s nearly the end of the fourth week and we’re in the thick of it now. Poolside flings have turned into whirlwind romances, everybody’s hair has been bleached green from the chlorine and Wais has run out of tequila and has instead been quietly making metho and tonics to really spice things up.

If your boots aren’t metallic, we can’t be friends.

We’ve all got one, in fact, I am one. You know – the vegetarian friend who always wants to come out for dinner, then makes your life difficult with a multitude of meat-free requirements. Ok, so maybe we’re not all that bad, but it can sometimes be a bit of a hassle to find somewhere to eat that caters for everyone in your group.

An oldie but a goodie, Middle Eastern restaurant Meeka in Subiaco should be right at the top of any foodie’s bucket list. Standing strong for around 10 years now, the recent addition of the wood-fired oven and the new Turkish pide on the menu, as well as the return of the Turkish delight doughnuts was more than enough to get us down for a recent dinner.

Wallets at the ready!

If we gave you free reign on Sydney for the ultimate bucket list weekend what would come to mind? You’re probably thinking jetting around via water taxi, a next-level luxe hotel, maybe a spa, some delicious cocktails (and no worrying about organising a designated driver).

Over in Paradise, tensions are building, mojitos are free-flowing and Channel Ten’s ratings are getting a cheeky nudge every time Megan talks about her sexuality.

We're not screaming, you are. 

Hot pink is the trend to rock this winter.

What the flaming heck.

You’re going to want to be on the next plane STAT.

While the milder weather hasn’t yet graced us with its presence, we all know the temptation to stay indoors binge watching Girls Incarcerated is nigh.

For those of you who have been living under a rock, Leonardo DiCaprio is a hardcore sustainability activist, so when he invested in Beyond Meat, a company making plant based burgers that apparently look and taste just like real meat, we were all ears.

In a move so refreshing Aperol Spritz will surely jump on board as a sponsor, Drake has a released a music vid with nary a mention of ‘bitches’.

Perthites, if you've got an adorable pooch, a cute cat or even a fluffy rabbit, you need to sit down and start taking notes! The Bassendean Hotel is looking for a pet mascot to prove that they are the most pet-friendly pub in Perth and your pet might just be it!

A round-up of 5 upcoming restaurants to check out at the new Hibranian Place.

Week three of ‘Krazy Keira & Capsicum Jarrod Breakup Again In Paradise’ is drawing to a close and so far we’ve seen more romance between Tom and Wayne’s dogs on Gogglebox than in the entire duration of this show. The whole cast is dehydrated and high on chlorine, and Osh looks like he’s on the verge of a stroke every time he shows up in a twelve-piece dinner suit he’s clearly whittled out of an IKEA shag rug.

Michelin starred to the hilt and guaranteed to make your pals jealous, these are the best hotel restaurants in the world right now. Get booking.

There’s something so satisfying about getting coffee at tiny places. Reminiscent of that European coffee culture that attracts us Perthlings like moths to a flame, hole in the wall coffee joints are becoming more and more common around town and we couldn’t feel better (or bigger) because of it.

Visiting this coastal town can easily turn into an annual pilgrimage.

This shitshow just got good.

Did summer’s festivities leave a gaping hole in your wallet and a maxed out credit card? Us too! Well, we've got some good news for you.

Previously on Getting White Girl Wasted On Warm Prosecco In A Solar Heated Lap Pool, the producers lobbed a fox into the hen house by throwing two ripped AF American hornbags into the mix causing Keira to go into heat and Jarrod to go into cardiac arrest.

Seriously. Stop everything. Ben and Jerry’s is giving away free ice cream to the people of Perth and if you’re not excited right now you must be dead inside.

Famous ramen bar, 'Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King,' is all set to open its first restaurant in Australia, at the Melbourne Hotel in Perth on 12 April 2018.

Guys, it's happened! We finally know the exact date that Hylin's brand new Back Bar is opening, so it's time to get out your calendars and mark Thursday 19 April as BUSY in a big red pen!

If you don’t have a fave dog breed, you’re lying. That’s why you clicked, isn’t it?! Whether pugs make your day, or you’re doing the absolute most when it comes to dog breed stanning and Afghan Hounds are your vibe, we’re pretty sure we can still guess exactly where you live. Give it a go!

Fire up those downloads and let the LOLs run wild with the funniest podcasts out.

It’s the perfect combo of practicality and statement.

Honestly, a prerequisite for going on this show should be getting sterilised.

After all, travel is great, but pampered travel? Divine.

We get it—doing good things for the world can be hard. Between work, study and maintaining some form of a social life, trying to squeeze humanitarian efforts into your schedule can take a place on your backburner (not everyone can be Angelina Jolie okay?)

Let Snoop Dogg catch you up on all things pop culture.

Diamonds are forever. Or, at least Instagram photos of diamonds are forever.

If you're from Perth and you have any interest in flowers and floristry, I'm guessing you already know how amazing Rebecca Grace of Natural Art Flowers is—if you haven't seen her work then let's just say you're missing out. 

Home to some of Perth’s best cafes, restaurants, bars and shops, our beloved Leederville may be small but she is fierce! Fun, quirky and super cool, the past couple of years has seen new life injected into the Leedy strip in the form of loads of new openings, making us fall in love with this hip little hood all over again.

Life is definitely a little better for those with coeliac disease than it once was. The world has become a much more gluten-free friendly place, with plenty of options available for those allergic to the G-word.

Who can resist the sizzling, smoky, tantalising goodness of teppanyaki? For those who are unfamiliar with the theatre of flavours that is teppanyaki, allow us. Teppanyaki isn’t a food, it’s a way of preparing and cooking food that is although distinctly Japanese, heavily influenced by ingredients loved by the west and and our enjoyment of food stunts like flaming onion stacks. Seated around a hot iron plate at which a knife-wielding chef stands ready to thrill you, you’ll enjoy all kinds of delicious morsels skilfully grilled right before your eyes. It’s half cooking technique, half modern performance art.

An easy 50 minutes south of Perth you’ll find our state's second largest city—Mandurah. A laid back haven for lovers of the water and abundant with wildlife, Mandurah is the perfect spot for a little day trip over the weekend.

West Leedy locals, we know you’ve got brunch and coffee all wrapped up and you should feel pretty good about that. But you’re about to start ruling Perth in another area. And what area might that be? The small bar scene!

Why pay upwards of twenty bucks for a slice of crumbed chicken boob smothered in fancy pasta sauce at a swanky inner-city pub when you could spend the same amount AND do your own dishes at home afterwards??

So, you’ve battled since birth with the blessing and curse that is red hair? Between being picked on in school and praised for your locks in more recent years, covering up any visible skin while walking the two-minutes to our car, or being lumped into the same group as literally any and every other ginger, any non-redheads will never understand our struggles.

Welcome back to the penultimate episode of finale week where the wounds are fresh, the back tatts are even fresher and the ‘shocking new twists’ make you want to chug a cocktail of bleach and battery acid.

This is a VERY important recipe for anyone who either a) entertains a lot, or b) is a human being who consumes solids.

And, despite the bad reputation that napping has gotten over the years, we’ve come to the realisation, it’s pretty damn amazing.

We should’ve learnt the very first time we owed our sibling $8.50 for a coffee and muffin: debt isn’t fun. Sure, there are lots benefits to having a credit card and it’s great if you can take advantage of them - a well executed accumulation and use of frequent flyers is enough to convince anyone that credit cards are life.
