Christina and I are strong believers that romance doesn’t have to rely on big gestures or extravagant gifts. In fact, it shouldn’t.

On this page, you’ll find how we find romance in the everyday with lifestyle stories, handy gift guides and a few things that bring us joy.

Each week we like to keep a little note, almost a diary for ourselves, of what we have been up to. It’s a way to share some great new finds, restaurants we tried or recipes we made, and just a little way for us to record the best things we see. Normally this is all

Sydney is in the midst of one of its busiest festival seasons, so there’s plenty going on already. Add to that some of the stuff we’ve been up to this week and the pace this year’s setting explains how we’re halfway through January without even breaking stride.

It happens every Christmas, but it always takes me by surprise.  Shops are crazy, bars and restaurants are to their rafters, and everyone’s moving around at an unsustainable pace.

With a new video series just finished and a 23-page gift guide to roll out, it’s amazing we’ve had time for anything else this week. Somehow though, we managed to spend a whole day at Taronga Zoo and get some solid socialising done too! Over on Hair Romance, Christina’s series of daily Q&A videos (you
