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.

Flavour Of The Month

Freaky rainbows, terrible paintings and a night of cheese

Last week was the last of a run of 4-day weeks for Australia and New Zealand. Easter then Anzac Day really made for a lovely few weeks. We’re all reeling from the prospect of working 5 days for the next month or so… in fact, New South Wales doesn’t have another public holiday now until…
The hipster Indian, the Cottage reborn and the wedding 20 years late
April 24, 2017
We’ve been enjoying a whole string of short weeks here in Australia. Easter might seem like a lifetime ago, but here in Oz and New Zealand we also have Anzac Day. It’s a public holiday that celebrates and remembers our braved servicemen and women who have sacrificed their lives for our liberty over the years.

A weekend divided, a pizza night shared and a bar launch triple bill

So, did anyone get pranked over the weekend? Any April’s Fools out there? I’m glad to say I didn’t… as far as I know… starting to feel a bit paranoid now! What a strange way to start an IG Edition. Anyway, this week we’re talking about the fun Mrs Romance had in Port Stephens and
A curry fest, a new café and a cruise on a multi-million dollar super yacht
March 27, 2017
As you can probably see from this IG Edition’s title image, it’s been another week of wild weather here in Sydney. Thankfully we’ve had plenty to keep us busy, including a big night in with a couple of our best friends… but more about that in a minute. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be
