City gusto WORDS Hayley Pearson One minute it’s like alfresco dining on the Amalfi Coast, the next you’re in a sleek laneway wine bar in the heart of New York City.

TRAVEL: BOUTIQUE CAPITAL

THIS FOODIE PLAYGROUND HAS YOUR NAME WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.

In prime possie at 127 The Parade, Norwood, Arkhé has people flocking. Everything on the menu at this hot new restaurant has an element of fire. Whether it’s smoked or charred, lobster tails or Mayura Station beef, the food experience is something to post about! The best seats in the house are the 18 counter seats hugging the main kitchen, or if you want something more intimate, the main dining room is fabulous.

TRAVEL: NATURAL THERAPY

Nature’s medicine WORDS Hayley Pearson Nothing lights your fire like being in the great outdoors!

022 is the year to embrace South Australia’s natural therapies. Whether it’s stargazing in the Flinders Ranges and Outback, getting down and dirty in our national parks, snuggling up in an off-grid beachside cottage or getting lost among ancient landscapes on the Limestone Coast, it’s time to dose up on SA goodness. Here’s your daily medicine…

Get off-grid at EYRE.WAY

With the planet always top of mind, this sustainable and architecturally designed tiny abode on the Eyre Peninsula was carefully crafted to overlook Sleaford Bay and Lincoln National Park. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a whale or two! It’s perfectly romantic, with a king-sized bed for couples and equally kidfriendly with an additional double bed in the overhead mezzanine. @eyre.way

Beerenberg — more than strawberry picking! Pho

to: E xploring9t

o5 .

Get your snorkel on at Kilsby Sinkhole

The Limestone Coast is home to some extraordinary natural wonders and just ten minutes from Mount Gambier, the Kilsby Sinkhole is one of them. With breathtaking visibility, you can snorkel or scuba dive, and there’s no need to bring anything from home (other than bathers) as they provide all equipment, wetsuits and your own industry certified guide. It was one of the first sinkholes to be dived in the Mount Gambier region when recreational diving started 70 years ago and is an absolute must next time you’re in the region. @kilsbysinkhole

2022 IS THE YEAR TO EMBRACE SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S NATURAL THERAPIES.

Beerenberg has reached new heights with their brand new Farm Café, which is now open for breakfast, lunch or a spot of afternoon tea. They now offer the whole kit and kaboodle — you can pick their juicy strawberries, shop for your favourite products in their Farm Shop and then cosy up in the café to enjoy a delicious bite to eat! You’ll kick yourself if you don't order one of their tasty gelatis — they’re made onsite and crafted from freshly picked strawberries. @beerenbergfarm

Clare’s epicurean adventure

There’s more than meets the eye at Clare Valley’s Watervale Hotel. Not only do they serve up great accommodation, dining experiences, a hotel and wine room, but they also have a magnificent farm — and you can tour it! Penobscot Farm offers exclusive experiences where you’ll be encouraged to hear, see, smell, feel and taste your way through the farm as you learn about organic, biodynamic and permaculture farming, followed by a multicourse degustation dinner in the hotel. @watervalehotel @southaustralia southaustralia.com/things-to-do/

TRAVEL: FLEURIEU PENINSULA

WORDS Millie Looker Calling all those who are curious — it’s time to experience the Fleurieu Peninsula off the beaten track!

ust 40 minutes out of Adelaide, the Fleurieu really has it all — beautiful coastlines, delicious drops, tummyrumbling food and adventure for all. There's a smorgasbord of activities on offer, so it's time to get curious. We've rounded up some out-of-the-box ideas for your next flit around the Fleurieu.

WILLUNGA WANDER

A few brilliant brains in Willunga have come together to create a self-guided wine walking trail, born from the philosophy of striving for a better environment, whilst savouring the charm of Willunga. Start your day at Aphelion Wine Co. to pick up your map and take-home wine glass, then slow down and unwind as you meander the streets of Willunga. Impromptu stops at local stores and eateries are encouraged, with special offers as you make your way between Aphelion, Battle of Bosworth and Hither & Yon for hosted wine experiences.

LOST RETREATS

. Phot o: Zoos SA

GRAPES FOR GOOD TRAIL – LANGHORNE CREEK

When Kimbolton Wines Director Nicole Clark was looking for a way to support Monarto Safari Park, she started Grapes for Good and created Kimbolton's 'The Cheetah' wine — a 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, which raises funds for vital cheetah conservation. Since then, Nicole has worked to bring five other winery partners into the mix, including Bleasdale, Bremerton, Lake Breeze, The Winehouse and Vineyard Road. Each winery has put forward a limited edition bottle, with part proceeds donated back to animal conservation. kimboltonwines.com.au/shop

We spend our days lost in to-do lists, so why not make the effort to find some time just for you? The Lost Retreats are designed to provide you with a magical short-term stay in an off-grid, sustainable and selfcontained little house. Lose yourself in nature, take a hot bath surrounded by gum trees, soak in the silence and explore the unexpected. Ahh, bliss! @lostretreats

PAGO MIDDLETON

You’ll find this sanctuary in the heart of Middleton, ready to embrace you for a day or two of restoration and reconnection. This beautifully renovated home was built in the 1850s and now hosts four king-sized bedrooms, each complete with their own ensuite. Wander the grounds and you’ll find a swimming pool, spa and an acre of private gardens to explore. @pago_middleton

SEA WIRRINA TOUR

See the sea from the sea! The Big Duck is now taking tours from Wirrina Cove Marina before cruising south along the coastline so you can view the stunning headlands, cliffs, bays and pristine turquoise waters of St Vincent Gulf. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife as you potter past the fur seal colony, with pods of dolphins and white-bellied sea eagles circling above. @bigduckboattours

TRAVEL: PHIL HOFFMANN TRAVEL WORDS Felicity Allan There’s never been a better time to have a travel expert on your side.

t’s been over two years since Covid first took our travel freedoms away, yet our desire to travel hasn’t waned. In fact, we all crave the opportunity to explore the world, now more than ever. Travel has changed since the pandemic hit. Rather than just navigating a map, we are now navigating border closures, vaccination status rules, testing and quarantine requirements. As the country (and the world) is opening up to South Aussies, a good travel agent has never been more important. Here’s a snippet of what our friends at Phil Hoffmann Travel have been doing to keep people travelling during Covid.

REUNITED IN CANADA

When the pandemic hit, Avril and her husband Richard were separated from their children who were both living abroad at the time. Their daughter, Brooke, was based in Vancouver, Canada, and their son, Kodie, was in Lyon, France. After two long years of not being able to visit each other, the news of international borders reopening was a welcome relief, and Avril immediately contacted their travel consultant, Alex from Phil Hoffmann Travel, to secure flights to Canada.

The family of four Facetimed whilst Alex was finalising their booking, and when it was all locked in, they found themselves in tears of joy together, Alex included. When the time came to travel, Alex had prepared all the documentation they needed and even sent them a checklist for the extra travel requirements that came with travelling during a pandemic — vaccine passports, 72hour PCR prior to travel, transit requirements in Sydney, PCR test on arrival. The list was thorough and detailed and made the whole thing so much easier for Avril and Richard. After an emotional journey, they touched down in Vancouver, and Kodie and his partner flew from France to join them. The family spent a wonderful 12 days together, celebrating the holidays and going for hikes on Vancouver Island. It even snowed every day — their white Christmas was a dream come true! The couple have plans to travel to Kodie’s hometown in France next Christmas, and when they do, their first phone call will be to their trusted travel consultant. More than just practical advice for Avril and Richard, Alex’s attention to detail removed the stress of travelling in such an uncertain time, giving this family the gift of reconnecting with the people they love the most. @philhoffmanntravel pht.com.au

WE ALL CRAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THE WORLD, NOW MORE THAN EVER.

MEET ALEX PICKERING, PHIL HOFFMANN TRAVEL CONSULTANT What inspired you to work in the travel industry? In 2016, I booked myself on a 26 day tour of Europe — my first big international trip on my own, and it was petrifying! That trip changed my life and inspired me to make travel my career. I love sharing this passion and helping clients to plan unforgettable trips. What’s been your most challenging day in your role? On Sunday 16 February 2020, information started flooding in about cruises being cancelled due to a new virus. As we now know, it only got worse from there. The most challenging part of that day, and the days that followed, was trying to get the best outcomes for my clients in an environment where the rules were changing constantly — whether that be refunds, credits or urgent flights home. Where are you planning to travel next? I have booked to travel to Canada and Alaska in July — my bucket list destinations! I can’t wait to do a cruise of the Inside Passage and spend some time with a dear friend in Calgary.

TRAVEL: PINK LAKE TINY HOUSE

PICK A HOUSE, ANY HOUSE

WORDS Em Worthington A tiny house opposite a pink lake? Sounds like the stuff of fairytales, but it’s completely real and totally worth a stay!

ust 95 minutes from Adelaide, Pink Lake Tiny House is a cluster of three tiny houses in Lochiel, which make the ideal base to check out both the Clare Valley and Yorke Peninsula. At the heart of these unique, custom designed, ecofriendly houses is some big love for our Mama Earth and a treat for your eyes, as they’re perfectly situated overlooking the spectacular pink salt lake, Lake Bumbunga.

The tiny house phenomenon is all over our screens these days, and Michael and his wife Christina haven’t cut any corners in creating these cosy abodes. “It’s all been designed as an entirely eco-friendly accommodation experience with solar panels, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank, bio-composting toilets and a grey water system that waters plants. A stay here has a very low impact on the planet.” With over 30 years’ experience in tourism, Michael and Christina added many thoughtful touches that make for a memorable stay. “We had everything custom-built using high-quality materials, so it’s well insulated, has reverse cycle air con, and we’ve used compact spaces cleverly. We also provide you with plenty of extras, including free wi-fi, a Bluetooth speaker, games, a hairdryer and even karaoke microphones. Our five-star reviews speak for themselves.”

Tiny they may be, but your options are plentiful when you book a stay in one of the three houses on site — the original, Sakura, means Cherry Blossom and has a Japanese theme; the Peony house is designed as a modern (as large as you can build) tiny house with a queen bed made from applewood downstairs and a loft bedroom. Finally, there is the smallest studio-sized house called the Dandelion Retreat. Choose from a two-day, one-night tour, where you can drink delicious vinos in Clare Valley one day; and soak up the spectacular coast of the Yorke Peninsula the next day. Book a self-drive, self-catering experience, or if you opt for a hosted experience, Michael will personally look after you with a welcome drink, butler services, a Korean barbecue dinner, a campfire and star talk (in winter). “We cater for everyone, including babies right through to 98-year-olds, best friends, families, couples on a romantic getaway — we just want you to relax, connect, enjoy the tiny house and the incredible pink lake. It’s like nothing else!” For a big adventure that leaves a small footprint, check out this unique accommodation in beautiful SA. Mention this article for a free bottle of special purple wine during your stay. Direct bookings only. @pinklaketinyhouse pinklaketinyhouse.com.au

TRAVEL: KANGAROO ISLAND

WORDS Hayley Pearson It all starts with a ferry adventure… and it’s only up from there!

KANGAROO ISLAND SPIRITS Exquisite gins and experiences where you won’t be able to wipe the gin off your face — Kangaroo Island Spirits (KIS) offers Garden Table experiences, cocktail masterclasses, blend your own gin and premium gin making experiences, just to name a few. Located in Cygnet River, KIS was South Australia's first boutique distillery, and they’ve been consistently producing great gins and liqueurs since 2006. Their cellar door is open seven days a week, so it’s definitely worth popping in. @kangarooislandspirits

KI SEAFRONT HOLIDAY PARK

Overlooking Hog Bay Beach, KI Seafront Holiday Park is the ideal place for a holiday.

t’s South Australia’s holiday diamond and it sparkles with magnificent scenery, rugged coastlines, world-class beaches and plenty of natural wonders. Kangaroo Island is the perfect destination for singles, couples, retirees and families, and it’s worthy of so much more than just a weekend trip! With a long list of accommodation options to choose from, you can flop and drop, and spend a few hard-earned days soaking up those island paradise feels. Then, when you're feeling revitalised, why not explore 4,400 square metres of nature’s paradise? You’ll discover everything from long, sandy, protected beaches like Emu Bay and Vivonne Bay to amazing surf breaks like Pennington Bay, and little postcardperfect gems like Stokes Bay and Snellings Beach. The funny thing about Kangaroo Island is that despite its beaches being on the world stage, you can easily hop between them, sometimes without bumping into a single soul. The island is massive, much bigger than you’d ever imagine, and you won't want to waste a minute of your exploring time — so having a car to jump between the beaches, cellar doors, distilleries, wildlife experiences and nature parks is essential. And believe me, there’s a million reasons to holiday on Kangaroo Island — here are just a few…

hether it’s a frivolous girls’ weekend away, a fun-filled family holiday or a luxurious romantic escape with your one and only, this beautiful region has something for everyone. Can't decide where to go first? Let's get you started...

Gather your gal pals

If you haven’t been to Kimbolton Wines in Langhorne Creek, what are you waiting for? This magnificent, architecturally designed cellar door built from repurposed shipping containers is the perfect spot to sip wines with the crew. Partake in a delicious wine and cheese pairing, whilst taking in the stunning surrounds from the viewing deck. Book the signature Wine & Ki m b

olton Wines

Cheese Flight — there’s even one for the kids — or check out their fabulous events held throughout the year.

Stay and play

The award-winning Bridgeport Hotel is the perfect base to explore Murray Bridge and beyond, or to simply enjoy a staycation with everything you need contained within the hotel itself! The hotel boasts an infinity pool overlooking the Murray River, making it a great spot for a cold drink at the pool bar. Or, if you’re seeking an indulgent afternoon, dine out on the terrace with their extensive local food and cocktail menu — you can’t go past the signature high tea experience in The Lounge.

Romancing the river

Cruising the Murray is a dream come true for the romantics at heart. The PS Murray Princess is a beautiful inland paddle steamer that cruises between Mannum, Murray Bridge and Salter’s Station. They have an array of three, four or seven night escapes and special event cruises to delight every traveller. With an impressive view of the paddlewheel in action from the lounge and an abundance of wildlife to spot on the waterways, you won’t want to set foot back on land!

TRAVEL: MURRAY RIVER, LAKES AND COORONG

Wine or gin?

The thrill of the chase

If you want to get your teenagers off their devices, a day out at The Bend Motorsport Park will do the trick! Racing around The Bend Karting Circuit is off the charts fun! The Grand Prix circuit is the longest in South Australia and will get pulses racing with 16 challenging turns to take on. Grown-ups can experience the thrill of high speed hot laps in a range of high performance track and race cars.

Why not both! Bremerton Wines is well known for their awardwinning wines, but their range of gin has got us really excited. Spend a relaxing afternoon sipping away in the newly renovated cellar door, soak in the local art on the walls, or enjoy a gin flight and a gourmet pizza picnic on the perfectly manicured lawn. What a way to spend a day!

Get on river time

River Shack Rentals has got the whole family sorted with a range of accommodation options that sit right on the riverbank, from old-school shacks reminiscent of childhood holidays to modern luxurious homes fit for Adelady queens! A holiday on the river is a time to reconnect and enjoy the great outdoors. At the end of a fun-filled day, there’s nothing better than a twilight riverside barbecue — bliss!

Safari fun

We’re simply in love with Monarto Safari Park. Whenever we visit, there’s something new to discover. If you haven’t tried the animal experiences yet, you’re in for a treat with Meerkat Mingle, Meet the Chimps or Keeper for a Day. No matter what you choose, these experiences will make your Monarto Safari Park experience even more memorable. And keep an eye out for their recently opened $16.7 million dollar Visitor Centre, and new accommodation coming in late 2022.

Set your hearts racing

Nothing says a girls’ day out like a trip to the races. Frock up in your finest for a day of racing excitement and fashions on the field at Bridges Event Centre, which is part of the Murray Bridge Racing Club. Hot tip for our ladies planning a wedding soon: this place is superb for special occasions! Check out their function packages for more information.

One in a mill WORDS Millie Looker PHOTOS Wayne Pearson Oh Jim Barry, you won our hearts with your wine, and now you’ve given our souls a place to unwind, too!

t’s no secret that Clare is a catch and one of the best destinations to road trip and discover exceptional Rieslings. So imagine the pure joy when we discovered that one of our fave wine producers had spread their wings and created not one, but two superb accommodations in the region! Jim Barry Boutique Accommodation is the mastermind behind two of Clare’s shining stars — The Mill Apartments and the latest addition, Mill St. Retreat. Both sit just a stone’s throw from beautiful cellar doors, eateries and shops.

The Mill Apartments

Located on the northern side of the main street in Clare, The Mill Apartments offer a relaxing and secluded place to base yourself in the Clare Valley. Here, you’ll find four one-bedroom apartments and two two-bedroom apartments — so whether you’re riding solo or spending a weekend with fam and friends, you’ll feel right at home. Each apartment includes a living and dining area, self-contained kitchen, bathroom with a soothing rain shower and full size bath, brekky provisions and even a bottle of Jim Barry vino to kick-start your stay in wine country.

Mill St. Retreat

Think Palm Springs vibes in SA’s renowned wine region, and you’ve got the brand new Mill St. Retreat. The four one-bedroom apartments are uniquely decorated to complement the mid-century modern architecture; and while they each have their own twist, they all have one thing in common — absolute comfort and luxury. With a complete kitchen facility and dining area, private deck, barbecue, modern bathroom, breakfast provisions, office space and private off-street parking, these apartments are suited to corporate travellers, couples or larger groups wishing to stay close together. “We wanted to create a haven of absolute luxury for our guests so they could unwind and relax in comfort at the end of a day exploring the region,” says Peter Barry, owner of Jim Barry Boutique Accommodation.

Wine, forever

This foray into accommodation is a big step for the Barry family, but never fear — they’re still proudly creating wines for all to enjoy! One of their latest ventures has tickled us pink — literally — as they’ve teamed up with the McGrath Foundation to create a special Rosé, raising funds for McGrath Breast Care Nurses. The strong connection to this cause comes from third-generation winemaker Tom Barry’s wife, Olivia Hoffmann-Barry. Olivia’s father was a breast cancer surgeon for 35 years, and her mother, Anne Marie, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “Our family has actively fundraised for breast cancer charities for years, but Mum's diagnosis made us think about how to raise money for thousands of Australian families navigating breast cancer by doing

what we do so well every day — and that’s wine,” says Olivia. Based on their popular Cabernet Sauvignon (The Cover Drive), the Rosé showcases a striking pink-striped capsule and label featuring a female cricketer — a fitting label for the McGrath Foundation. You can support the cause and sip this sentimental wine by purchasing a bottle from Dan Murphy's or online. The next time you’re planning a Clare trip just two hours out of Adelaide, we can’t think of a reason not to give yourself a luxury stay and support a beautiful familyowned business at the same time! @jimbarryaccommodation jimbarryaccommodation.com.au jimbarry.com

Here’s a little bonus for anyone looking to book a getaway! Jim Barry Boutique Accommodation is offering a 15 percent discount on Mill St. Retreat bookings for anyone who uses the code Adelady1 between now and March 2023.

FEEL GOOD: URTH CLAY STUDIO

WORDS Millie Looker PHOTOS Wayne Pearson

“PERFECTION DOESN’T EXIST WITH POTTERY.”

A hobby with a side of healing? Sign me up for a class at Urth Clay Studio in Goodwood or Burnside.

f you’ve ummed and ahhed about learning a new skill, take this as your sign to jump into pottery! There’s so much waiting in the art of clay. Seven years ago, Zein Akkad took a difficult situation and turned it into a warm and welcoming space. “I experienced some mental health issues and during my healing process, I found that pottery was the most effective tool to help calm my mind,” she explains. Being the good soul that she is, Zein started looking for signs of stress or struggle in her friends once she felt healthy again. “I invited each person to come and play with clay and it was the same result, over and over again — everyone would leave the session feeling relaxed and asking for more!”

Since then, Zein has worked with her talented team to design classes that give everyone a safe space to make a special little something for themselves. And the music to my ears? You don’t need an artistic background! “There’s no judgement in our studios! We want each person to experiment, fail, learn from their mistakes and try again. We’ll guide you, but it’s up to you to make each piece your own. It’s mesmerising to hold a piece of clay and turn it into something you can use every day,” Zein says.

IT’S ALL IN THE TECHNIQUE

“We use locally sourced clays with different textures, and we teach techniques from all around the world, like mocha diffusion, Russian painting and Japanese Kurinuki. Our techniques are simple and there’s no pressure — perfection doesn’t exist with pottery.”

GIVE BACK

“As a proud environmentally-friendly pottery studio, we use a single firing method that saves 50 percent of the energy needed for each piece but has the same result — when you’re firing

3,500 pieces per year, it adds up! We also make it a priority to support mental health organisations by donating a percentage of our merchandise sales.”

WHAT TO BOOK

Urth Clay Studios offers four different class types: • Social clay session – In just three hours, make a beautiful piece like a vase, mug or sushi set. • Mindful clay program – Learn multiple techniques over eight weeks. • Private events – Perfect for team building or special occasions — hello, hen’s parties! • Muddy membership – If you’ve got the pottery bug, this allows you to come and go as you please, with all materials and firing provided. • Gift voucher – The perfect gift for someone you love.

FEEL GOOD: TEMPLE DAY SPA

WORDS Hayley Pearson PHOTOS Wayne Pearson 2022 is your year!

t's fair to say that over the last 24 months, mindsets have shifted — self-care is more important than ever and a nurturing touch is desperately needed. Presenting Adelaide’s most luxurious place to be pampered, Temple Day Spa — where touch-hungry South Australians like ourselves go to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect. More like a wellness retreat than a spa, Temple gives you the warm and fuzzies inside and out, and you won’t want to leave. “It’s all about that feeling,” says owner and good friend of ours, Sharon Templeton. “All I want is for my guests (both men and women) to feel great inside and out, whether that’s by enjoying a 90-minute hot stone massage or helping them to create little daily rituals that make their hearts sing. As women, we tend to focus on the way we look but not always on the way we feel — and feeling refreshed is so beautiful, right?” So how can you get that tantalising Temple feeling?

MASSAGE

It’s not just a massage — it’s an experience. Temple Day Spa’s highly experienced therapists are so nurturing and make you feel like you’re the most important person in the world. Whether it’s a blissful hot stone massage, a relaxation massage or pregnancy massage, you are literally in the best hands, every time.

FACE

If you’re yearning for a deep sense of relaxation, try one of Temple’s amazing facials. Chances are you’ll experience hypnagogia — that peaceful state of consciousness between being awake and asleep. Their facial menu extends to treatments like microdermabrasions, detox oxygenating facials, hydrating facials, purifying facials, a Better Than Botox Facial and my favourite, the Vitamin C Facial. All of these gorgeous treatments include a luxurious neck and shoulder massage, too. See, I told you it was heaven.

BODY

If you’re feeling sluggish, bloated and a little self-conscious about those dimples on your legs (which we all have by the way, even if you’re a skinny-mini), Temple Day Spa is the only day spa in Adelaide that offers Endomologie. “It’s an incredible non-surgical treatment for cellulite and fat loss that’s gentle, painless and is so relaxing that many of our guests fall asleep during the treatment,” smiles Sharon. Speaking of melting away, have you ever had a Vichy shower? It’s designed for you to completely relax and allow warm water to rain over your body, massaging you in all the right places. Bliss!

SHARE THE LOVE

The best way to reconnect with your loved one, bestie, bride-to-be, mum or sister is by slipping into a state of full relaxation — together! The Couple’s Suite is designed to do exactly that. You can enjoy a body scrub, massage, facial or even a spa together. And why stop there when you can stay the whole day? A Full Day Delight is five-anda-half hours of pure bliss and includes lunch!

That’s why we created Nest & Temple!” From the most magnificent smelling facial mists to scentfree lip balm, calming salts and essential oil blends perfect for relaxing busy minds, Nest & Temple is the closest thing to feeling like you’re at your favourite day spa.

FAMILY: ALLKINDS

WORDS Em Worthington PHOTOS Frankie The Creative It’s an explosion of colour and a shopping experience that will delight — say hello to Burnside Village’s new star, Allkinds!

his vibrant store offers bath, body, skin and hair care for kids and teens in a fun, inclusive and thoughtful way. A chat with General Manager Paula Gorman got us as pumped as a kid in a candy store about it all!

ALL KINDS OF WHAT?

In shops, products for babies jump off the shelves and adults are covered in spades. But what about the in-betweeners? Allkinds takes care of kids and tweens with nature-powered formulas that are carefully designed to cover their unique needs. Think wobbly jelly washes, whipped shower foams, body creams, bath bombs and loads of fun accessories. “Allkinds makes sure kids and teens feel their best every day. We want them to embrace their differences instead of seeing things that need to be fixed. Our products let them try what looks fun, find their favourites and create routines that make them feel good!” Paula explains. It’s perfect for tweens facing the skin changes that come with puberty and nothing’s expensive or complicated. “They need the right cleanser and moisturiser as a base, plus, our online videos show them exactly how to use it all at home.” Their formulated products are made here in Australia and contain no gross stuff — no SLS, SLES, added sulphates, parabens, mineral oils or talc. They’re not tested on animals, plus they’re vegan, dermatologically tested and 100 percent naturally fragranced, which is important for young, delicate skin.

ALL KINDS OF INCLUSIVE

One of the best bits? It’s all unisex! If your small fries are into sparkles, sport, pink, blue, coconutty vibes or space, they can gravitate towards whatever excites them. The range ensures that everyone stays clean and smells delicious, but kids can choose from six different ‘worlds’ that all have active ingredients and a natural signature fragrance. “Letting kids choose helps build their confidence and makes them independent, but at the end of the day, you know the products will keep them clean and do what you need them to,” Paula says.

ALL KINDS OF CARING

Allkinds cares for your little ones AND the earth. Everything from products to packaging has been made with sustainability in mind. Most packaging can be reused or put in curb-side recycling and some can be placed in water until it dissolves — my kids’ idea of fun in itself! “It starts the conversation about recycling so it becomes second nature as they grow up,” Paula says. Visit number one and we left with arms full of fun and practical things for our kids to try — and that’s all kinds of awesome! @allkinds

SHANX for playing WORDS Millie Looker There’s no need to be a pro to play a round of golf!

amilies, friends, pros and newbies, let us introduce you to Australia’s best mini golf course — SHANX! Located in Regency Park, you can forget about novelty clown heads and spinning windmills here. Unlike anything in the Southern Hemisphere, SHANX Mini Golf looks exactly like a standard golf course — only it’s been shrunk down to miniature size. It was created as a way of making golf accessible to anyone and everyone, no matter your age, gender or skill level. “SHANX is working to break free from the idea that golf is for a certain type of person. Eighty percent of the people who come along to SHANX have never played a round of golf in their life, and it gives them a chance to have a swing and find their passion for the sport,” says Managing Director Peter Vlahandreas.

It sits on the edge of the Regency Park Golf Course, so you can watch the pros go by while you putt your way around the eighteen holes. You’ll come across bunkers, twists and turns as you make your way across the green, and each hole has two courses to choose from: the Regency Course for those just getting started, or the SHANX Course for those looking for a challenge. Everything is provided, including a club and ball per person as well as a scoring card for the group. It’s never been more important to find fun and affordable outdoor activities that the whole family can take part in, and SHANX is that all over. Created for the community, SHANX is also an amazing location for your next staff show, corporate event, birthday and everything in between. It’s got capacity for 500 people, with lights and room for a DJ and food trucks right on the course.

FAMILY: SHANX MINI GOLF

SHANX MINI GOLF LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A STANDARD GOLF COURSE — ONLY IT’S BEEN SHRUNK DOWN TO MINIATURE SIZE. Don’t sit at home twiddling your thumbs, dreaming of picking up a new hobby — grab your friends, family or your lover for a cute date night and head to SHANX for a round. Just jump online to book your time slot! @shanxminigolf shanxminigolf.com.au

Teach ’em young

SHANX is dedicated to growing the game of golf through a partnership with Golf Australia, starting with their first ever MyGolf SHANX Mini Golf Game Development program. Founded in Adelaide, SHANX facilities across the country will host junior golf programs for budding young golfers to get the hang of the game. Cute!

It can seem daunting but first up, get a grip on your finances and obtain a pre-approval before you start househunting. Then you’ll realistically know your limits — how much you can afford to borrow, what the repayments will be, whether you have enough deposit and, more importantly, have a pre-approval so you can bid at auction or negotiate a purchase with confidence. In the current hot property market, many real estate agents won’t even consider an offer unless they’re sure you can obtain the finance to sign on the line.

Help! I want to get on the property ladder but can’t afford a house in the area I want.

Have you thought about rentvesting? This is where you buy a property in an area you can afford and rent it out whilst you continue to rent and live in your dream spot. The benefit here is that the tenant in your property will help you pay the mortgage on the investment property, and you’ll enjoy the long-term benefits of property ownership.

How do I ensure I don’t overborrow? Every lender has a different lending policy so you’ll get a different answer from each one. Some will lend more and some will lend less, but keep your eye on the big picture. It shouldn’t be about the maximum amount you can borrow, but the maximum you can afford. You want to land on a competitive loan that fits your needs and lifestyle and going beyond this is just setting yourself up to fail — a bit of thinking upfront can save a world of pain down the track. We can step you through this and we have plenty of handy online tools to help nut out the figures.

How much deposit do I need to buy?

I have a home loan already — how often should I get it checked?

Mortgage repayments can be a set-andforget kind of deal, but regularly reviewing it could add up to making a big difference. A review with us is a free and simple process, and it can generally be done over the phone and email. Our tip is to look at it every two years to ensure it remains competitive in the market and ensure it’s still meeting your needs. You should also have it reviewed if you are approaching the end of a fixed interest rate with your current lender or if your household financial circumstances are expected to change. It’s also important to be aware of when interest rates are likely to rise so you can get on the front foot and prepare for it. At the end of the day, we love guiding you through this journey and we want to see your dreams come true. Get in touch for a chat today.

The short answer — it depends! On the price range of homes you’re scouting, whether you’re looking to buy an established house or build a home, what rebates and incentives might be available to you and various other things. Working this out is our jam — it’s what we do best and we love helping people just like you.

FAMILY: THE ORTHODONTIC PLACE

Say cheese!

“HAVING A CONFIDENT SMILE CAN HUGELY IMPACT YOUR SELF ESTEEM AND HOW YOU RELATE TO OTHERS.”

WORDS Em Worthington Nothing opens a connection like a big, beaming smile!

he Orthodontic Place in Kent Town and Hindmarsh knows high-quality orthodontic care, and Orthodontist and owner Dr Sara Dudley is all about helping your whole family to love their smile. “It’s so important for functionality to be able to eat and speak well, but also, having a confident smile can hugely impact your self-esteem and how you relate to others.” A highly experienced orthodontist, Sara opened this boutique practice in 2013 so she could treat her patients with the same care as her own family. “Everyone has different circumstances and needs, so we’ll work together to get tailored results you’ll love.” On the menu are metal braces, clear (ceramic) braces and Invisalign aligners (invisible braces) for kids, teenagers and adults. We had questions, and Sara was all over it…

How do you know if you need orthodontic treatment?

Come and see us! You don’t need a referral from your general dentist, but patients need to be in good dental health and we’ll work closely with your dentist throughout it all.

What age do most kids come to see you?

It’s recommended to come around seven or eight to examine the bite and development of adult teeth. If early intervention is needed, it’s typically a short (six to 12 month) treatment to correct a bite or dental problem and allow more ideal growth and development of the child’s jaw and permanent teeth. There are different appliances that will be tailored to your child’s needs, and that’s often followed by phase two when they’re older to detail the position of their adult teeth.

Do you treat adults?

Absolutely! We see people of all ages and for many reasons — you may have had treatment as a teenager, but perhaps you didn’t keep up with wearing a retainer, or wisdom teeth may have moved everything around again. Others may not ever have had treatment but feel like the time has come to get things in line.

How much does it cost?

It’s important to get an individual consultation, but as a ballpark… full braces range from $5,500 to $8,500. Invisalign ranges from $6,500 to $9,000. Early treatment ranges from $1,500 to $4,000. We offer interest-free payment plans for 12 to 30 months to make things more affordable and also sibling and family discounts. Your smile is an investment and when you want to take that leap, the main thing is that you feel confident that you’re in the right hands. To chat more about getting the perfect pearly whites, get in touch with Sara and her wonderful team! Every person’s experience and results may vary. Make your own assessment as to whether this is right for you. @theorthodonticplace theorthodonticplace.com.au

FAMILY: MERCEDES COLLEGE

WORDS James Worthington There’s nothing more inspiring than seeing someone take that leap of faith and follow their dreams. The Mercedes College MC8 Entrepreneur Programme shows students how to do it.

hy would anyone choose to work in a job they didn’t like? Think about it: a 40-hour week amounts to approximately 2,000 hours a year of not being passionate about what you do for a living. That’s 2,000 hours. Every. Single. Year! Throughout life, we’ll often hear people — parents, teachers and global influencers like Gary Vaynerchuck — say, “Follow your dreams”. But then what? They don’t tell us where to start or how to know if our ideas will work. When you see someone taking control and building a life from something they’re truly passionate about, you feel inspired by the belief they had in their idea. Getting started is one of the hardest parts, so Mercedes College created the MC8 Entrepreneurship Programme to teach students how to take an idea to market with confidence. This extracurricular programme is an extension of the thinking and problem-solving skills already delivered through the International

Baccalaureate, and SACE Middle and Senior School Programmes. Students learn what makes a successful start-up, evolving initial thoughts, customer testing, sharing more developed ideas and working through the pains and gains along the way. And the best part: students learn from entrepreneurs in the real world — people who walk their talk. Michael Francis, M8 Programme Teacher says, “This course is bespoke, developed with industry partners. It’s unique to Mercedes College and not something you’ll find anywhere else.” The course was designed to make

“I’M GRATEFUL TO BE IN A POSITION TO LOVE WHAT I DO!”

these classroom ideas, which solve real customer problems, needs or wants, a tangible reality. It also gives students an opportunity to be surrounded by other creative, innovative and highly motivated people. They’ll become sounding boards for their peers, just like we have out in the real world. It’s far from just theory in a classroom. Michael says, “We’re preparing students for that style of learning they’ll see in the workplace.” Mercedes College has seen many former students take on global markets with incredible stories of start-up success. Former student and local entrepreneur, Jono Kaitatzis, says, “Since finishing at Mercedes College in 2007, I leapt at the opportunity to follow my passions and work alongside my brother, Christopher. I’m grateful to be in a position to love what I do!” He went on to establish The Market Shed on Holland in 2013; then Plant 4, Bowden in 2016 and Plant 3, Bowden in 2021. The college invites old scholars, along with families of current students, to get involved in the MC8 Programme and help fast-track ideas that will help our community for years to come.

FAMILY: GOODSTART EARLY LEARNING

WORDS Lauren De Cesare PHOTOS Wayne Pearson Like any other new parent, the idea of sending our beautiful baby girl, Sofia, off to childcare was a daunting one. The warm and wonderful team at Goodstart took our worries away.

othing can prepare you for the moment you lay eyes on your baby. It's a love I never knew existed until Sofia arrived — and from that moment, I turned into a fierce lion, ready to protect her at all costs. I was filled with wonderful stories from Hayley about her boys’ time at Goodstart and I had visited their beautiful childcare centres in the past, but I’ve been so nervous about the idea of dropping Sofia off for the day. To calm my nerves when I planned to go back to work when Sofia was three-months-old, I started doing my research because if I was leaving her with someone, I needed to trust them 100 percent. We took Sofia on not one, but

IT’S A LOVE I NEVER KNEW EXISTED UNTIL SOFIA ARRIVED — AND FROM THAT MOMENT, I TURNED INTO A FIERCE LION, READY TO PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS. three tours around our local Goodstart Early Learning Centres to prepare for the big day, and you can feel the effort, dedication, care and personal touches the directors put into each one. We went in knowing absolutely nothing and left armed with all the information and confidence to send our baby girl to one of these brilliant early learning centres. During the tour, I asked the Centre Director, Jodie, about 14 billion questions, so I thought I’d share her answers with you in the hope it makes any other new mama’s transition to childcare that little bit easier.

FAMILY: GOODSTART EARLY LEARNING

WHAT AGE CAN I START SENDING MY CHILD TO DAY CARE?

At Goodstart, we look after kids from six weeks of age through to school age. We also have a specialised kindy program for four-year-olds to school age.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE SPACE INVITING AND FUN?

The nursery rooms are filled with natural light and plenty of soft elements to make them homely. We have diffusers throughout our spaces, with soothing scents to reassure and comfort the babies, and the nursery rooms are rich with opportunities for sensory play. Everything is kept to an extremely high standard of cleanliness, including wearing specific shoes or shoe covers in nursery areas to make sure it’s always safe for babies to crawl around and explore. As the kids get older, they move on to the outdoor playgrounds, indoor craft stations and are encouraged to continue doing what makes them happy!

WHAT’S THE STYLE OF LEARNING AT GOODSTART?

We’re a play-based learning centre, which means we follow whatever your child is interested in. They lead the learning every step of the way and we work to support their passions! During your child’s first year, their brain doubles in size, so we offer stimulating, ageappropriate experiences to continually support their learning and development.

WHO MAKES UP THE GOODSTART TEAM?

All of our educators are fully qualified in early childhood education and care, and are first-aid trained. And above all else, our team members are warm, kind and open to any questions you may have. We encourage you to pick up the phone for a chat anytime.

WHAT DO THE CHILDREN EAT AT GOODSTART?

For babies, we work extremely closely with the family to make sure we’re giving them what they need; and as they get older, they enjoy fresh meals that are prepared each day by our fully qualified cook onsite. We celebrate all religions and beliefs and reflect these choices as well as any allergies in our food preparation. As the team at Goodstart told me, there’s NO such thing as a silly question — so if you’re ready to get a feel for your child’s day care, book a tour at any of the 50 Goodstart Early Learning Centres around SA. I promise it will help put any worried mama’s mind at ease. @goodstartmoments_ goodstart.org.au

WHERE DO THE BABIES SLEEP?

Every child has the same cot each visit, made up with fresh linen that’s washed onsite every day so they have familiarity and fall into a routine with us.

FAMILY: SCOTCH COLLEGE

The great outdoors WORDS Tory Camilleri Some of life’s greatest memories are created in mud — something that Scotch knows well.

s kids, we were encouraged to dig in the dirt, jump in puddles and explore the outdoors to learn about the world around us. At some point, we traded the mud pies for mud wraps in the day spa, but at Scotch College, they celebrate that innate childlike passion we once had and make it the cornerstone of their outdoor education program. Starting from ELC and going all the way through to senior school, the program ties in with the year level curriculum and teaches the importance of nurturing

our environment with excursions, an agricultural farm and remote campus learning, like Goose Island. You read that right — Scotch College has their own agricultural farm on campus and access to an island just off the Yorke Peninsula!

Starting small

The program across the younger year levels is reminiscent of the perfect day out, with days spent searching for shells on the beach, exploring Cleland Wildlife Park and playing at the Woodhouse Activity Centre.

FAMILY: SCOTCH COLLEGE

Building up

As the kids grow, so do the connections and learnings outdoors. Camps become a staple for the upper and primary levels where students will learn lifelong lessons about environmental awareness, sustainability and the part they can play in it. And the lessons continue when the kids come home and everyone is reminded of how tired they can get after a session in the great outdoors!

Going big

For the Senior School students, the journey starts well before students even leave for camp. Scotch is really big on preparing the students in the lead up by teaching them about traditional landowners and their culture, giving them a broader appreciation for the experience as a whole. This is where the foundational learning translates into life lessons, with the twoweek Scotch Odyssey experience in Year 9 considered a rite of passage. They develop practical living skills, like cooking, shopping and planning, which every parent hopes will translate into being more involved at home, domestically speaking. The Year 10 Goose Island expedition is a highly anticipated experience. Unique to Scotch, you’d be forgiven for mistaking Goose Island Conservation Park for a holiday travel destination rather than a school camp. Here, students don’t just learn about Narungga culture, sustainability and environmental awareness, they also snorkel, kayak, sail and immerse themselves in the seclusion of the island. “The outcomes of the outdoor education program include promoting leadership, resilience, stewardship, cultural understanding and independence skills that the students will take with them throughout their lives,” says Rob Stillwell, Head of Outdoor Education. “It aims to teach them how to deal with things when they get hard and how to be a contributing member of a team.”

YOU’D BE FORGIVEN FOR MISTAKING GOOSE ISLAND FOR A HOLIDAY TRAVEL DESTINATION RATHER THAN A SCHOOL CAMP. Our very own Lauren remembers the outdoor experiences at Scotch as some of the best times of her life! She often reminisces about the bonds and friendships she formed during her school days, and how they were made stronger by being pushed outside their comfort zones. There’s no doubt that education has come a long way and our kids are being

exposed to some pretty impressive new ways of learning, but nothing seems to compare to the immersive outdoor program at Scotch College. The only question left to ask is: how can we go back to school again? @scotchcollege scotch.sa.edu.au

“NO ONE IS A TREE — EVERY SINGLE PERSON PLAYS A PART.”

FAMILY: WINGS2FLY THEATRE

WORDS Em Worthington PHOTOS Imagestix Photography Is your little one drawn to the spotlight? Let them soar with Wings2Fly Theatre!

erforming arts offers so much, but not every kid wants to sing and dance across a stage — that’s where Wings2Fly offers something unique, with acting workshops and productions held during the April, July and October school holidays. The passion project of professional actors, Michelle Nightingale and Alicia Zorkovic, the courses give students aged 10 to 21 a taste of pro theatre and working with experts in costume design, sets, technical directing, stage design and photography.

“From the start, we treat it like a professional acting gig. Every student needs to audition for their role, but we have a mantra that ‘no one is a tree’ — every single person plays a part. We stress that the lead role is no more important than any other, including the person organising props — everyone needs to work together!” Michelle says. “Professional actors go to work, just like everyone else, so we run during school holidays, which allows our young actors to immerse themselves in full days of acting over the week.” And it comes together with a bang, culminating in four performances at Holden Street Theatres. “The young actors thrive off the excitement of being in a real theatre with real lights, a professional stage manager, dressing room and they even get professional photographs to take away.” And while the course is intensive, it’s open to all young people, including firsttimers. “We welcome anyone who’s open to learning about themselves, and regardless of what they go on to do in life, they’ll leave with so many life skills — confidence, language skills, public speaking, social skills and lasting friendships.” And it’s the perfect balance of a pro experience with room to play. “There’s no right or wrong here — we explore, which

is when incredible things happen. It’s an opportunity for students to also learn they don’t need to be perfect — that’s boring and predictable.” And after 30 years performing professionally, these women are more passionate than ever about helping the next generation to jump onboard. They’ve expanded with a junior program for children in Years 1 to 5; their first Fringe production; and have just launched their Evolution program for 18 to 25-year-olds; as well as offering scholarships for kids who may not have the means to participate. “We’re so proud to be the first youth theatre company to be nominated for the Adelaide Critics Circle Award for the body of our work over the last 18 months… it’s a credit to the team and our students for working so hard at something we all love!” Michelle says. @wings2flytheatre wings2flytheatre.com.au

Hitting up local community events like the Adelaide Giants baseball, you’ll find this giant green truck, built by Cathie’s

husband Duncan, pumping out all your fave Zamby dishes. Burrito, anyone? The food truck is available to hire for special large-scale events across Adelaide, so reach out if you’ve got an idea brewing — we’re quietly begging someone to hold an open-access taco day, please and thank you! If your party-pants are on but you’re aiming for a more intimate vibe, you can also arrange for the Glenelg and Unley stores to cater for your next event. Have trays of burritos, bowls, quesadillas and more delivered to give your guests the pure deliciousness that Zambrero is known for. And, of course, if you’re driving past Glenelg or Unley, pop in and pick up lunch or dinner. As an Adelady office top pick, we can assure you that you’ll never regret it. *At time of writing. @zamfoodtruck

FOOD: LUXURIOUS GRAZING

“Nothing makes me happier than serving up beautiful food for a special moment,” the mama of four says. “It started with catering for family and friends and now, I’m living my dream, delivering boxes and setting up tables all over SA.”

PERFECT PRODUCE

WORDS Em Worthington PHOTOS Wayne Pearson We can graze a day away and now, these little bites of happiness are gorgeously fancy.

e love a get-together — cold bubbles, good company — but the main event is always the food, and Luxurious Grazing has taken the joy of a picnic box or grazing table to new heights. Our mouths start their engines at the mere mention of cured meats, fine cheeses, pâté, homemade jams and artisan breads, and lovely local Teresa Rowe has perfected the art of boxing up these babies for all occasions. A romantic picnic, a dinner party or an epic grazing table at a wedding is jaw-droppingly delicious when she takes the reins.

A MORE IMPRESSIVE WAY TO MUNCH OR PARTY THE DAY AWAY.

Whatever the occasion, you’ll get top-quality produce that’s been safely prepared to a tee. “We use as much local produce as possible — Udder Delights’ cheeses, fresh strawberries from Mt Compass, artisan breads from Bakery 77, cured meats from Regency Park. A family recipe is behind the homemade jam; and I make the falafel and dolmades as well as adding edible flowers and herbs from my own garden. We cater for vegan, halal, vegetarian or gluten-free needs, and we’ll work with your budget to give you the best value for money.”

and she uses biodegradable packaging to keep things eco-friendly. Filled with antipasto treats, it’s a neat package all in one. “You can hold the cone and a wine in one hand, which is really handy for social distancing.” So, next time you’re looking for a more impressive way to munch or party the day away, go local and lovely with Luxurious Grazing. @luxuriousgrazing luxuriousgrazing.catering

EASY ENTERTAINING

When it comes to catering, Luxurious Grazing will wow. “We’ll do grazing tables of any size to suit any occasion, and our package deals keep it affordable by including delivery, theming, set up and pack down in the cost.” Teresa’s charcuterie cones have been especially popular in recent times,

GORGEOUS GIFTS

You can choose between set boxes — like the Breakfast, Vegan or Dessert Boxes — or tailor one to your needs, adding extras like a bottle of bubbly. There are themed gift boxes for occasions, like the Valentine’s Day box with locally made chocolates and heart-shaped cheese; or the Baby Box, complete with toys, socks or a romper from Bonds. “It’s just as much about the quality as presenting it to look exceptional.” Delivery is free for a 10-kilometre radius from Trott Park or a small fee for further. And for last minute Larrys, like us, Teresa has been known to turn around a gift box in less than 24 hours.

A DOUGHBALLS EVENT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GET YOUR GUESTS FED WITHOUT GETTING IN THE WAY OF ALL THE FUN!

FOOD: DOUGHBALLS

Just popped up WORDS James Worthington PHOTOS Wayne Pearson

For those yet to try the DoughBalls phenomenon rolling across Adelaide, Cat Spalding’s new mission is to bring the party to you!

t’s not like she needed to take any more on. In two short years, Cat and her husband, Lincoln, have built up two thriving restaurants during a global pandemic AND they’ve grown their family of three to four. But when you get to know her, you’ll see that Cat’s in her element when planning her restaurants’ seasonal menus and looking for new ways to make your DoughBalls experience truly unforgettable. Over summer, the DoughBalls popup sprang into action at Paxton Wines in McLaren Vale. Every Friday night, and Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes, DoughBalls is serving up a wood-fired version of their extremely popular savoury

dishes and desserts on the scenic lawns overlooking the coastline. You can start with Bruschetta DoughBalls, Prosciutto and Goat’s Cheese DoughBalls, Chicken Pesto Pizza, Goat’s Cheese and Red Onion Pizza, plus all your classics in Hawaiian, Pepperoni and Margherita. Just make sure you save room for dessert! They have Nutella DoughBalls, Strawberries and Cream DoughBalls, Choc Cinnamon DoughBalls, or the ever-popular SnowBalls with salted caramel and raspberry dips. If there’s a better way to enjoy your favourite DoughBalls dishes than with a glass of vino, a light sea breeze and live music, we’re yet to see it. But it gets even better. You don’t have to plan a trip to The Vale just to try what everybody’s been raving about. DoughBalls now caters weddings, birthday parties and work functions with a tailored menu specifically designed for your event. If you’re planning a garden wedding or a function with a relaxed vibe, Cat’s team will present their renowned pizzas and desserts as well as world-class grazing platters loaded with cheeses, fresh fruit, deli meats and dips.

A DoughBalls event is the easiest way to get your guests fed without getting in the way of all the fun! So, while you’re waiting for someone to pop the question, have a work anniversary or turn another year older, you can still dine in or take away from DoughBalls’ licensed restaurant in Glenelg and their new restaurant in Mawson Lakes. The Summer Sessions pop-up at Paxton Wines will continue throughout winter, with a new menu and plenty of wine to be enjoyed by a fire. Then again, you might just need a night in with DoughBalls pizza and desserts delivered straight to your door via Uber Eats or Menulog. @doughballsau doughballspizza.com.au 51 -

FOOD: SURREAL EATS

Bragworthy brunch WORDS Em Worthington PHOTOS Wayne Pearson On the corner of The Parade and Bridge Street in Kensington, a dream-like food experience awaits — and it’s surreal deal!

f you’re anything like us, great coffee, sublime food and exceptional wine will take a day from drab to fab in a heartbeat. Pop Surreal Eats on your hit list for your next brekky, brunch, quick catch up or long lunch, and thank us later. This community-focused café celebrates as much South Australian produce as possible on their menu. “We’re so lucky to have such incredible ingredients right at our fingertips,” Head Chef Jordan Lucia says. “Ninety-five percent of what we serve is directly from our South Australian friends and neighbouring producers — it’s the best of the best.” With an always evolving menu that showcases the freshest seasonal goods, you’ll never grow tired of the same old

fare. Instead, you’re guaranteed farm to table dishes and plenty of variety as well as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. One of the prettiest and most delicious dishes we tried was the pan-fried halloumi, paired with candied beetroot, rhubarb vinaigrette, micro-herb salad and chopped SA almonds — it looked a treat and did a little dance on our tongues! “The aim is to broaden your horizons by plating up a shake-up on a classic or something you may not have seen before, like our signature Reuben sandwich that’s filled with cured kangaroo meat, which we make into pastrami right here in-house. We pair that with our own sauerkraut, aged South Australian cheddar, house pickles and the classic Russian dressing… it’s different and delicious!” says Jordan.

And the team’s big on re-thinking the types of produce they use. “We use kangaroo because it’s one of the more sustainable and environmentally friendly meats you can eat, and it isn’t farmed.” The coffee is an ethically sourced and sustainable super Brazilian blend roasted in Australia, served up by baristas who have been nominated for awards. To top it all off, the drinks menu is bursting with all local names, including Bird In Hand, Shaw + Smith, Pirate Life, Mismatch Brewing Co., Applewood Distillery and 23rd St. Distillery as the pillars, and plenty of rotating SA wines, making it a great place to sample a drop and find a new fave. When you want to taste the best of SA in a relaxed and welcoming space, head to this corner of deliciousness — it’s a slice of heaven! @surrealeatscafe surrealeats.com.au

FOOD: BETTY’S BURGERS

WORDS Em Worthington Long lazy days with good friends and great food — summer hollies are all year round when you eat at Betty’s Burgers!

eliciously fresh burgers, crispy fries and deluxe ice cream! It’s the stuff that laid-back holidays are made of, and eating at Betty’s Burgers will leave you feeling blissed-out every time. Their Rundle Street restaurant is an iconic SA stop for family feeds, and now, their latest retro beach shack is serving up the goods on The Parade, Norwood, too.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

You’d be forgiven for thinking of fast food when you hear ‘burgers and fries’ but there’s no stockpile of patties here. Every burger’s made to order, topped with fresh ingredients and flavoursome sauces, served up on cloud-like buns with sides of French fries, thick fries or onion rings on offer. You can’t go past the Betty’s Classic with its juicy Angus beef, fresh salad and special sauce; the Spicy Chicken for

heat-enthusiasts; and garden-fresh salads or a Bare Betty when you want the good stuff wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun. Seafood lovers jump for a Noosa Classic Surf with Angus beef, lightly battered prawns, salad and secret sauce — but there are also plenty of alternatives for our non-meatasaurus friends.

PLANT ONE ON ME, BABY!

The Betty’s Classic Vegan is filled with a crispy puff rice patty, salad and a spicy vegan mayo; and the Shroom Burger is all about the crispy fried mushroom patty with melted Gouda and Gruyére cheese, lettuce, tomato and special sauce. Oh yeah! But the newest burger on the block is ready to rock your socks off. Introducing the latest in the line-up… the Betty’s Classic Plant! The Betty’s team has taken their time in finding top-quality Australian plant-based patties to bring you a seriously delicious meat-free alternative that’s tasty enough to make us all herbivores.

LITTLE SQUIDS, BIG KIDS

A meal at Betty’s table is a full-on fam affair, with a Nippers’ menu and mini sundaes to satisfy even the fussiest of eaters. Betty’s take-home deluxe frozen custard ice creams are all natural, made exclusively for Betty’s guests only, and they come in three delightful flavours — chocolate lamington, rich chocolate brownie and vanilla coconut velvet — yummo! And there’s no overlooking the big kids, with plenty of top local beers, ciders and Betty’s exclusive range of wines now on the menu — they’re all singlevineyard, vegan-friendly and contain no sulphates. Cheers! Next time you’re looking to escape and enjoy the simpler things in life while amping up the flavour-stakes, let the lovely team at Betty’s take care of the cooking. @bettys_burgers bettysburgers.com.au Photos: Wayne Pearson.

A cheeky upgrade

DRINK: CHEEKY GRIN COFFEE

WORDS Millie Looker PHOTOS Wayne Pearson It all started with a cheeky grin — and two years later, it’s a thriving business making a difference, one cup of coffee at a time.

n early 2020, Stefan Iannace decided to froth things up and create Cheeky Grin Coffee as a mobile service, with plans to warm people from the inside-out at local events. Six weeks into his new gig, the pandemic hit hard. With no events to attend, Stefan asked the golden question: “How can we create something positive out of this?” With a push from his biggest supporter, Rhianna, Stefan cleared out his parents shed in Trinity Gardens and letterbox-dropped his way around the neighbourhood, offering delicious coffee the socially-distanced way. “It was exactly what people needed — a chance to support a local business in a safe way and get out of the house while working from home,” Stefan says. By October 2020, Stefan secured a permanent location right around the corner and expanded by taking over a second shop next door only 18 months later. After a rustic-styled reno, the vibe is a reflection of Stefan himself — it’s easy-going and

welcoming to everyone who walks through the door. Whether you’re dashing past for a caffeine hit or need a quick grab-andgo, there are plenty of options, including a range of toasties, salads, pastries, juices and more. And with the new expanded space, there’s room to sit and soak in the vibes a little longer if you wish. You can’t forget the star of the show — the coffee! “Our coffee is our number one priority and Willow Bend beans are the best! We’ve used them since the shed days,” smiles Stefan. Two years and a couple of awards later (including top three for Best Coffee in the Eastside Business Awards and a bronze in The Advertiser’s SA’s Best Barista Awards), what started as the dream of a coffee cart is now a welcoming space for regulars who feel more like family. “A cup of coffee and a quick conversation can make a difference — and now, some of my closest friends are customers from the shop!”

@cheekygrincoffee cheekygrin.coffee

A cheeky get-together

Cheeky Grin flourished because of local support, and now, Stefan is handing that back out. Keep an eye out for the Cheeky Trot — a Saturday morning fun run, followed by a coffee. Or, if fitness isn’t your forte, head along to a Cheeky After Dark event — a collaboration with other SA businesses like Yalumba Wines, 36 Short, Barossa Valley Cheese Company and Gelista Gelati.

Offishally delish WORDS Em Worthington PHOTOS Meaghan Coles One fish, two fish, fresh fish’s the best fish!

very day’s a holiday when you can serve up unbelievably fresh seafood at home without breaking the bank. A revolutionary way to shop for the jewels of the sea, Fair Fish SA gives you a way to bag out on premium seafood from SA’s pristine waters via their website or at the Port Adelaide wharf. These legends give you direct access to local fishers — meaning better quality, lower costs, and a big impact on local industry and our environment. Jump on board for a new way to feast…

“VETERAN CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE EATEN A PARTICULAR FISH FOR 40 YEARS HAVE NEVER TASTED SEAFOOD LIKE WE’RE SUPPLYING!”

Plenty of fish in the sea

A diet rich in omega-3 and eating fish at least twice a week is all sorts of good for you, but not everyone can afford to feed a fam with the more popular choices. The good news is you don’t have to pay $80 per kilo for a delicious dinner.

offer up simple recipes on the website to make the most of your catch — including the likes of Oliver Edwards with a delightful recipe for yellow-eye mullet sandwiches stuffed with pine nuts and raisins; or Brad Sappenbhergs making your mouth water with tommy ruffs with mojo verde and Goolwa pipis. Veteran customers who have eaten a particular fish for 40 years have never tasted seafood like we’re supplying!” says General Manager Franca Romeo.

You are what you eat

It’s ace that more of us are conscious about where our food comes from, how it gets to us and that it’s done in an ethical and sustainable way. Fair Fish SA has this in the bag. They shorten the supply chain from the ocean to your plate and help to reduce your carbon footprint. “It’s giving you affordable alternatives to the popular species and helps make sure there’s fish for everybody in the future. It’s also a great way to find some new favourites,” Franca says.

How to tackle it

Head online – Trawl the available catch, pick your fish, pay and have it delivered to your front door. Or, subscribe to a share of the weekly catch with a Seasonality Box. Pop past – Head to Port Adelaide wharf and nab your fish straight from the box, generally weekdays, but their social pages keep you in the loop with when the catch is in. Let the pros take the ropes – Choose the whole fish, have it scaled and gutted or completely filleted, depending on

your budget and how hands-on you like to get. Get a taste with a once-off order, once a week, once a month or ongoing. Regardless, you’ll get info about the seafood, how to cook it, who caught it and where. And if your heart’s set on something not in season or out of stock, you can buy it frozen. “We strive to have every single fish either sold, or processed and frozen within 48 hours of leaving the water.” It doesn’t get fresher than that — and it all boils down to a great outcome for SA’s fishing industry, the seafood lovers and our planet. We’re in — hook, line and sinker! @fairfishsa fairfishsa.com.au

Pickle at home

Guys, we’ve just uncovered a Pickle secret… because everything on the menu is made by the Pickle team, you won’t find any bottled sauce recommendations here! Instead, if you fall in love with a salad dressing, their famous seed bread or chilli sauce, you can ask the team to buy some to take home — and they’ll say YES! And when that's still not enough, you can take any of the full range of pickled veggies home with you, too. “We’ll pickle just about anything. If there is a dish that needs some zing or a bit of colour, we’ll make some vibrant purple or yellow cauliflower and have it there for you to try out in your own kitchen!”

Pickle with a twist

The holy grail is the Pickle menu, filled with fresh and seasonal produce. The dishes are always being tweaked, so every time you visit, you’re in for a treat. “We have staple menu items that our customers love, but we’ll change up the toppings based on what’s in season and tastes the best at the time — that way you know you’re always eating the highest quality ingredients,” says Luke.

DRINK: LOCK 4 DISTILLERY

Simply the zest WORDS Em Worthington It’s rare for a sequel to be as good as the original, but Salena Estate’s part two knocks it out of the park!

ay ciao to Lock 4 Distillery — the newest venture for the beautiful Franchitto family behind the award-winning Salena Estate and Cucina 837 in the Riverland. Using award-winning grapes from their stunning vineyard and hand-peeled local fruit, their range of zesty cellos, gins and vodkas will make you fall in love all over again with everything this abundant region has to offer. Owners Bob and Sylvia Franchitto have got a real knack for mixing iconic Riverland flavours and thinking outside the square, which is why their truly unique products will take your breath away. Pull up a pew and let’s spring in…

“THIS RANGE IS SO EXCITING BECAUSE YOU CAN REALLY TASTE WHAT OUR HOME IN THE RIVERLAND IS ALL ABOUT WITH EACH ONE.”

DRINK: LOCK 4 DISTILLERY

Cello, sunshine!

The Lock 4 line-up of cellos is like sunshine in a bottle — think lemon, lime, orange, mandarin and citrus concoctions that can be enjoyed neat and ice-cold, to spice up a cocktail or even on top of ice cream! Traditionally sipped on as an aperitif before a meal or as a digestif to cleanse your palate, a chilled limoncello has long been part of the Salena Estate offering and a nod to the family’s Italian heritage. It’s only natural that Bob decided to mix it up with a whole range of new flavours that are all distilled on-site. “This range is so exciting because you can really taste what our home in the Riverland is all about with each one,” says Marketing Manager, Salena Muirden. “The mandarin and orange cellos are so fruit driven, they taste like you’re biting into a fresh piece of mandarin or segment of orange; and the lime cello adds another delicious dimension to a tart! You can mix them into desserts, cocktails, slushies, over ice cream… once you start experimenting, you’ll see just how versatile they are!”

Super neat!

Lock 4’s crystal clear triple distilled vodka is the top-of-the-line vodka and is perfectly enjoyed straight, over ice, or in your fave cocktail. It’s soft and smooth from beginning to end with slightly fruity and caramel teasers. Bob may be tinkering away but he’s certainly doing it well, with the Loxton Dry Gin already winning silver at the Tasting Australia Spirit Awards. It’s crafted from 10 Riverland botanicals, which give you bursts of lemon and orange citrus as well as coriander, cardamom and cinnamon flavours, plus a little floral note from the Elderflower. When you really want to bring out the big guns, Lock 4’s Navy Strength Gin has a unique soft sweetness to it, with concentrated aromatics of classic juniper and bright citrus flavours. It’s a more concentrated version of the dry gin, plus it has a few other botanicals to give a lift and punch… but they’re top secret and will remain under wraps… can’t give it all away! And finally, not one for the faint-hearted, the Chilli Vodka will have your tastebuds doing a little dance long after it passes your lips. “Being Italian, we add spice to

everything and this baby’s made using chillies grown from Dad’s garden. It gives a good kick without being too intense or burning — it’s more of a tingling that softens and dissipates. It’s perfect with bitter lemonade, and it’s super refreshing as opposed to being hot,” Salena says. Plus, this baby just took out gold at the International Spirit Challenge, so you know it’s a winner. Of course, a little Riverland adventure gives you the opportunity to soak up some of the Franchitto family’s legendary hospitality. You can check out this delightful new range of spirits and liqueurs in-house, in cocktails or sample and take them home. Or, to bring the thrills straight to you, jump online and order away!

Well, Violet 7 is white wine infused with organic, plant-based botanicals, which creates this incredible violet colour and beautiful aroma. It’s best served chilled, is especially tasty frozen and pairs perfectly with a charcuterie board and your favourite tunes.

TASTE SENSATION

A cool glass of Violet 7 tastes like jasmine flowers and a dash of lime with a refreshing combo of grapefruit, white peach and subtle vanilla aromas. And whether you’re drinking the low alcohol or zero version, it goes particularly well with spicy Asian dishes or succulent seafood.

Come one, come all WORDS Em Worthington Delightful wines, salt-of-the-earth people, a stunning new cellar door and a bulldog named Marj — Oliver’s Taranga, you have our hearts!

McLaren Vale adventure with a stop at Oliver’s Taranga has always been a joy. This family-owned and run vineyard sings of a passion for hospitality and a love of wine that runs deep. They nail the region’s traditional varieties, like Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro; and they’re enticing us to sip on emerging varieties, like Fiano, Vermentino and Mencia, too. They also make quince gin, which is served with oranges or mulberries from the property… Stop. It! Over 182 years, six generations of the Oliver family have faced challenges with a resolution to come out better, and the impact of the global pandemic has been no different.

Puppy love

Ohh, Marj… you delightful little ball of puppiness! If all this isn’t enough to entice, wait until you’re greeted by real boss, Marj — the fam’s twelve-month-old bulldog. Melting!

DRINK: OLIVER’S TARANGA

The reno

It was a huge undertaking in the middle of a pandemic, but the family has swung open the doors to their new jaw-dropping cellar door, which makes you feel like you’re sitting smack-bang in the middle of the luscious 110-hectare vineyard. “Our original cellar door was the tiny stone worker’s cottage built by our family’s first generation. It was beautiful and historic, but we could only fit four people in there. Now, we can welcome so many more. It’s only taken us 182 years to look this good!” jokes Winemaker and Director Corrina Wright. By seamlessly merging the old with the new, the family’s vision has come to life, with a rustic recycled red brick entrance, a 10-metre tasting bench and striking expansive all-weather deck. “We want you to feel personally hosted and like part of the family when you visit; and maybe leave having learnt something new, too,” Corrina says.

Exceptional experiences

A cellar door visit is magnificent in itself, but to go next level, check out this menu of good times… Tastes of Taranga – Get up close and personal with the range of mouthwatering wines. The Greats Reserve Series Tasting – Let the team guide you through a tasting of reserve wines on the deck or in the new cellar door.

Taranga Terroir Vineyard Experience – Jump on board Ollie (a six-seater golf cart) for a hosted tasting in the vineyards, right where the grapes are grown; then enjoy a private tasting in the original cellar door, which has also had a facelift. The Oliver team knows viticulture like the back of their hand, and they’ll answer your questions or chat vino until the cows come home. “Regardless of which experience you choose, we want you to feel wowed. There’s also plenty of fun at of our events, like our Porchetta or Paella Parties — but they book out quickly, so follow our social accounts or sign up to stay in the loop,” Corrina says. @oliverstaranga oliverstaranga.com

This limited edition, seasonal release is bursting with cool, tropical vibes and is a sunny way to enjoy a taste of summer. “When you take a sip of our Pineapple + Citrus botanical spirit, you’ll experience the excitement of pineapple, a citrus zing from lemon myrtle and mandarin, plus bursts of tropical fruit for a hint of natural sweetness. To us, it just felt like the perfect celebration of long, warm days by the beach,” says co-founder Felishia Abbott.

Hey Low contains 75 percent less alcohol than your average gin, while still holding onto the full flavours of the botanicals, including juniper and citrus. Their spirits are glutenfree, sugar-free, vegan friendly, contain no nasties and are only 18 calories per serve. Umm, have we died and gone to low-alc heaven?

Brush with greatness

STYLE: UGLY SWAN

THEY WERE RECOMMENDED TO US YEARS AGO AND WE’VE NEVER LOOKED BACK!

WORDS Tory Camilleri PHOTOS Wayne Pearson

Photo: Supplied.

There’s something immensely satisfying about finding those little things that make a huge difference in your life.

Flic | Ugly Swan Scream-Free Detangling Hair Brush

gly Swan’s problem solving products were invented by homegrown entrepreneurs, Annette Short and Marissa McLoughlin, who knew we were all ready for a solution to those morning battles with the brush. They took a leap of faith and Ugly Swan launched a range of scream-free brushes that are the real deal. These brushes are incredibly gentle while perfectly detangling all types of hair. They were recommended to us years ago and we’ve never looked back. Each of us has our fave, so let us tell you about them…

Hayley | Ugly Swan Thermal Ceramic Barrel Brush

“With hair and makeup playing a huge role in my work life, I use the barrel brush the most. Particularly on those days when I need my hair to look on-point, it’s really great for getting waves and body. Plus, it glides through my ridiculously thick hair.”

“I’m still surprised every time I use this brush! I’m in awe that I barely feel anything, but somehow my hair is completely detangled.”

Millie | Ugly Swan Scream-Free Palm Hair Brush

Lauren | Ugly Swan Baby Mermaid Brush

The Baby Mermaid Brush is the latest launch for Ugly Swan and Lauren is loving it for baby Sofia. “A lot of people told me to expect challenges with brushing a baby’s hair, but Sofia loves having her hair brushed — she always smiles and giggles when we do it.”

Kristy | Ugly Swan Scream-Free Detangling Hair Brush – Wild Collection

Whilst long on the scream-free bandwagon, Kristy loves the Wild collection design. “My daughter and I love the same brush, but it was getting confusing to know which one was which, so I got myself a pink Wild Flamingo so that we can tell them apart.”

Em | Ugly Swan Scream-Free Detangling Hair Brush

“The Maxi brush has saved so many arguments in our house each morning. My daughter always avoided doing her hair before school, saying it hurt, but now it’s not an issue. Finding her shoes, however, that’s another story.”

“I use them all, but if I had to pick one fave it’s the palm brush. It’s small so I take it with me when I’m out and about.”

Tory | Ugly Swan Unicorn Hair Towels

“My daughter and I love the microfibre hair towels! We find they fit better than any others we’ve tried, and they stay on securely so our hands are free to keep getting ready in the morning.”

Hot deal!

Try this special pack for $105 (normally $145) 1 Hunter Hair Towel 1 Maxi Flamingo 1 Palm Flamingo Add the code Adelady7 for an additional 10 percent off this deal or the rest of the Ugly Swan range. Valid until 31 July 2022.

urns out some of the most striking bespoke jewellery pieces are coming out of a studio on High Street in Burnside. For the last 50 years, DDS has been making dreams come true with beautiful rings created especially for each person

who walks through their door. This team of eight has decades of experience behind them. A manufacturing and design studio filled with diamond rings is my version of heaven, and DDS certainly delivers. With over 200 sample designs for women, and almost 200 sample designs for men, the choices are endless. And the best part? The talented manufacturers will tweak their designs as much as needed until they match the vision in your head, or if you’re set on a specific idea, they’ll bring your creation to life.

Ring, ring

While engagement rings and wedding bands are certainly a speciality of DDS, the world is your oyster when it comes to creating your dream piece. So, if you’ve been looking for that perfect bracelet, necklace or earrings, let DDS create exactly what your heart is set on.

A few of our favourite things Diamonds are timeless, so it’s no real surprise that some designs are always top of the pops. If you need a little inspiration, here’s some thought starters from the experts… • “A simple solitaire diamond is still the number one design we create — it’s always fun finding ways to personalise it by creating a beautiful band to accompany a flawless diamond.” • “Halo rings are a really special design, as the outer diamonds and the setting can completely change the look of the ring.” • “Emerald cut diamonds are just one of the alternate shapes available, giving the ring a classic vintage feel.”

“Our designs are guided entirely by the customer — we’re here to make sure you end up with a piece that you love. The best information you can give us is a design idea and a budget, and from there, we’ll make sure to find your perfect match,” says owner Richard.

Speaking of budget, there’s no need to step outside your comfort zone or sell your firstborn for the perfect piece. “We’re proud to create quality handmade jewellery, working the gold and platinum to perfection. But if you don’t want to eat up your budget with the handmaking process, we have other options so you can spend more on the stone instead.” You can expect a different experience at DDS, too. “As we’re a manufacturing studio instead of a shopfront, the experience is much more personal. Our studio is appointment only, so you’re guaranteed our undivided attention; and you don’t walk in and say, ‘I quite like that one,’ and then that’s it. We make sure that you adore the final result!” says Richard. @ddsdiamonds ddsdiamonds.com.au

Out with the old, in with the new

If your rings are feeling a little outdated, or you’ve inherited some really special pieces that aren’t quite your style, why not opt for a remodel? The DDS team will work with you to use your stones and come up with a design that you’ll love for years to come. As Richard says, it’s a collaborative process. “We come up with ideas and then move the stones around until you’re completely happy. Often, our clients love the very first idea we present, and if not, we’ll work with them to get it right.”

Nostalgic notes

STYLE: ETIKETTE

NOSTALGIC AND THOUGHTFUL CANDLES DESIGNED WITH YOUR MEMORIES IN MIND.

WORDS Em Worthington PHOTOS Morgan Sette A family holiday by the sea, a hike through the hills, camping by an open fire or a sunset with a lover — Etikette embraces nostalgia in a uniquely Australian way.

ur sense of smell can transport us back to a time or a place in an instant, bringing to life moments we’ve lived and loved before. Whether you’re sinking into a warm bath, plonking down with a good book or celebrating a clean house, the simple act of lighting an Etikette Candle can make an ordinary moment an extraordinary way of looking after yourself. Handcrafted in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, Etikette Candles hit differently with nostalgic and thoughtful candles designed with your memories in mind. “My first ever memory is of a smell,” says Etikette Candles owner Ella Walker, who fondly recalls the scent of clover flowers under the washing line in her childhood garden. “I love that scent memories are so powerful, and fragrances can tell such delicate stories.” The entire range of Etikette Candles and Eco Diffusers is inspired by the smells of this wild and beautiful place we call home — handmade from Australian fine fragrances and layered with notes like sassafras, wild sage and Illawarra plum. “My favourite fragrance, Otways in Bush Botanicals, smells exactly like the bushwalking track near home.”

Everything that Etikette does considers our earth — including their reusable amber glassware, which is perfect for propagating plants. Their gorgeous scents are also available in eco-reed diffusers made with a plant-based alternative to glycerine and alcohol. “It’s a gentler production and better for the environment. The diffusers aren’t flammable, so they’re great in a workplace or school and last for up to six months.”

Homegrown success

When Ella started hand-pouring candles in her laundry five years ago, she never imagined it would grow so much. “From setting up trestle tables at local markets to now hand pouring over 65,000 candles in a year, I’m so proud of our amazing team. They’ve all grown with Etikette, which makes it even more meaningful. The whole thing’s been an incredible ‘pinch me’ adventure.”

WORDS Tory Camilleri Life can be complicated enough without adding a daunting skincare regime into the mix.

here are so many conflicting versions about what your routine should look like and so many questions about what our skin needs. Thankfully, South Australian cousins and skincare aficionados Megan Potter and Mandy Hawtin banded together four years ago to take out all the guesswork for us by creating certified organic products with everything you need and nothing you don’t. Their motto, ‘Where luxury meets sustainability’, is the foundation from which all their products are created. It means that everything they make is focused on supporting consumers with premium products that use basic and organic ingredients — perfect for a simple daily routine.

THE PRODUCTS ARE SO FREE OF NASTIES THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY EAT THEM. The certified organic content of their skincare range means we can trust that every link in the process has been rigorously tested for biodegradable practices, ecological sustainability, minimal processing and involves no animal cruelty, child labour or unethical practices. So basically, they’ve handled all the super important stuff for us so we can just go about our business with clean skin! In fact, the products are so free of nasties that you can actually eat them… probably won’t, though! We know we’re in safe hands with a Megan Potter skincare routine, but what exactly does that mean, and how is it different from any other? We asked the team what’s really involved in ensuring you have a clean complexion and it’s so much easier than you think! “Just cleanse and moisturise properly — there’s no need for anything else,” qualified beauty therapist and makeup artist Megan assures us.

Step 1 – Cleanse with the Organic Gentle Cleansing Oil. Step 2 – Moisturise with an MP Organic Facial Oil or the Illuminating Hydration Serum & Cream. Optional bonus step – Spritz with a toner or facial mist after cleansing or throughout the day for extra moisture and an antioxidant boost. Voila! It couldn’t be easier! And if you haven’t tried cleansing with an oil before, you can start by using coconut oil that you have in your pantry. They’ve even got you covered with a show-you-how tutorial on their website. Also, if all the goodness from certified organic products is as important to you as it is to us, you’ll love the exciting new Megan Potter haircare range, too. @meganpotter_cosmetics meganpotter.com.au

She’s electrifying WORDS Hayley Pearson PHOTOS Wayne Pearson The future is here!

he’s unbelievably attractive, ridiculously smart, environmentally conscious, a real thrill, and super fun to be around. I am, of course, referring to the driving machine that is a completely electric car. Like something out of the Jetsons, Adelaide BMW’s iX, iX3 and i4 are here, and everyone’s flipping out! But what exactly is an electric car, and why are we all swooning? To be completely transparent, before we had the opportunity to pull up our driving gloves and test-drive one of Adelaide BMW's brand new electric models, we had no idea just how cool these driving machines were. It was like an out-of-body experience…

THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED AT ADELAIDE BMW, AND WE’RE SO EXCITED!

She’s quick and quiet

These beasts are FAST. Not that I would ever dare to go over the speed limit, but the idea of being able to go from zero to one hundred in 3.8 seconds is just insane! The speed is like nothing you’ve ever felt before in a car — it’s more like being on the Eurostar, one of Europe’s fastest speed trains, where you glide rather than drive. And as Björk famously said, “It’s, oh, so quiet”. Electric cars don’t have loud combustion engines, which makes for a very quiet driving experience.

She’s smart and safe

She’s like the dux of the school when it comes to smarts. Her gadgets are so cool that your inner child will be squealing with

She’s environmentally friendly

This gal is cheaper to run, cheaper to maintain, cheaper to register and a whole lot better for the environment. It’s cool to be green, so plugging in rather than filling up is a good way to care for the environment. The interior features elements sourced from recycled and natural materials — even the wood used for the control panel is harvested from responsibly managed and economically viable forests; and if you’re vegan, you can opt for animal-friendly materials instead of leather. As a little time-saving gift from the electric car to you, she can be charged at your house overnight while you’re sleeping. Just 10 minutes of fast charging will score you a distance of up to 164 kilometres, and a fully charged iX will get you up to 630 kilometres. delight. For instance, she has self-healing technology where the front grill uses a polyurethane coating that can fix scratches in just 24 hours. Mind blown! She also includes an array of intelligent driver assistance features, like Active Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assistant with Active Side, Rear and Front Collision Prevention, and she even stops passengers from opening doors if there’s a cyclist or car approaching.

She’s gorgeous and curvy

Her interiors are futuristic, and with so much space, you won’t even feel like you’re in a car. You have the option to get your gear selector, BMW controller and seat adjustment elements made in crystal glass. She also features a stunning infotainment display with a 14.9 inch curvaceous touch screen, massage seats with three intensity levels, and a panoramic glass roof, which

GREAT SKIN STEMS FROM OVERALL WELLNESS.

t’s no longer just about slapping on some moisturiser and praying for perfect skin. The art of self-care has expanded to mean that great skin stems from your overall wellness. Our skin goddess and friend, Rose Bonasera from Elixir Skin Fitness, is passionate about getting the best out of your skin and improving your life while she’s at it. “There are nine pillars of wellness that contribute to your overall health, and it goes beyond skin deep! We bring your skin to life with internal and external support; and the treatments we offer complement what you’re doing at home to become the most vibrant version of yourself.”

We asked Rose for an explanation of these magic pillars and some of the treatments Elixir offers to make you glow.

EXERCISE

We are designed to move! Exercise stimulates blood flow, lymphatic drainage and helps remove toxins from the body, which supports treatment plans for acne, inflammation and healthy ageing.

MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness is a bit of a buzz word at the moment, but it’s so important and can be found in the ten minutes you run through your skincare routine. It only takes three seconds without oxygen for our cells to

start dying, so breathing deeply helps your body to absorb nutrients and stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to clear your body of toxins.

GUT HEALTH

It's important to consider that your diet, lifestyle and genes all affect your microbiome and immune system, which in turn, impacts your skin and other organs, including your brain. Don’t muck around with your gut health!

A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS

NUTRITION

Remind your brain that it's all about nourishing the body with food. We recommend different meal plans and suggest things like removing inflammatory foods or incorporating wholefoods, depending on your skin conditions.

linked to leaky gut, disruption in hormone levels and immunity, which is then linked to acne and inflammation.

Focusing on natural sleep wave patterns encourages growth and tissue repair. Your skin creates collagen while you sleep, which prevents skin from sagging; while sleep deprivation can make it dull, lifeless and accelerate ageing. No one wants that!

HORMONES AND IMMUNITY

HYDRATION

Gorgeous skin awaits — get in touch with Rose to get started!

I recommend a minimum of two to three litres of water daily to keep your skin and body healthy. Water hydrates the skin, which is a major organ; assists the digestive system; and makes skin cells plump and juicy, while flushing pores of any nasties.

If your immune system or hormones are out of balance, you increase your risk of chronic inflammation, which can result in ageing skin, acne, rosacea, eczema and perioral dermatitis.

Improving overall wellness is a sure-fire way to change your skin, but we all need a helping hand sometimes. Elixir Skin Fitness is the home of some incredible devices and treatments. • Dermapen 4 Skin Needling – Used for acne, skin rejuvenation, ageing, sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, stretchmarks. • Laser Genesis – Used for skin rejuvenation and tightening. • Morpheus8 – Used for acne, acne scarring, skin tightening and skin rejuvenation for the face and body.

Word-of-mouth is the most powerful form of marketing and when someone you trust recommends someone they trust, it’s a no-brainer. Lauren introduced us to Alex. She trusted him to do our electrical work because he was taught by the best electrician she’d ever known — her dad, Dino, who holds over 50 years’ experience in the industry. Alex is Lauren’s brother and the owner of A Plus Electrical. Our first job for A Plus Electrical was a big one — rewiring and installing lighting throughout our home, plus installing a switchboard full of the latest safety switches for a reno we were doing at the time. We had a young family and needed to know our home and everyone inside it would be safe. Alex recommended LED lighting to cut down our power bills; cool lighting for visibility at the barbecue and ambient lighting for outdoor entertaining areas; then warm sensor lighting to make our home the prettiest one in the street as dinner guests arrived. Keeping your family safe is paramount. From there, Alex will recommend the best ways to bring your home to life through energy-efficient lighting, airflow, entertainment and security.

Style the Etienne way

WE ALL WANT A LITTLE BIT OF THE ETIENNE STYLE.

WORDS Millie Looker Sitting pretty on Unley Road, we walk past Etienne at least twice a day, and we’re obsessed with owner Juliet Berry’s style!

ver the past 12 years, the constantly changing front windows have enticed people to walk through Etienne’s dreamy French doors to browse the unique range of homewares, furniture, accessories and clothing, all sourced locally and across the globe. Juliet and her team love to chat with their customers about what sparks inspiration and assist them in finding eclectic pieces to create atmosphere and layers for their home. Because we all want a little bit of the Etienne style, we asked Juliet to share some of her ideas so we can boldly copy them in our own homes…

Dining

The special rituals of breaking bread, sharing wine and cutting cake are social interactions that make the world go around. I always dress the table with unique pieces that have an unconventional look but also a timeless purpose, such as a Dinosaur Designs vase filled with flowers. The layers start with a tablecloth from Australian label Bonnie and Neil, then the vase of flowers, with candles scattered amongst the blooms. Plates are usually a neutral colour created by a local ceramicist and complemented with our colourful Maison Balzac glassware.

Bathroom

Made in Australia and packaged in its timeless mahogany coloured bottle, Aesop is always my go-to for hand and body care. The richly aromatic cleansers and balms hydrate, nourish and soften your skin.

I love to curate a bedroom space that is nurturing to live, love and ultimately, slumber. At Etienne, we house a gorgeous palette of French linen that can be mixed and layered to create a sleeping arrangement that’s completely exclusive to you.

Living

Modern spaces are minimalistic with clean cut lines, so I like to introduce a standalone piece to add vibrancy, comfort and culture. Plus, it creates a focal point to chat about! Artisanal rugs and cushions also offer the room colour, texture and warmth.

Layering is my preferred way of dressing, and our offering of The Assembly Label collection does just that. Linen is the textile of choice for this incredible Australian brand, with warm woollen knits designed for the cooler months.

WORDS Em Worthington PHOTOS Little Gems Barossa When it comes to leather, luxurious quality is the name of the game — and Sunshine Barossa Australia has it in spades.

he home of handcrafted bespoke leather handbags and jaw-dropping accessories, Sunshine Barossa is your stop when you want to say farewell to fast fashion and invest in something to treasure for years to come.

ol D

INVEST IN SOMETHING TO TREASURE FOR YEARS TO COME.

MEANT TO BE

Establishing Sunshine Barossa was written in the stars for owner Carol Dadds, who grew up surrounded by creative people — her grandma was a tailor, her mum sewed, and both of her parents did their own leatherwork. “People say they feel a lifetime of love in my pieces — and there absolutely is! The perfection is in the uniqueness of each hide and I handpick every single one, then design and produce something special with my talented team,” she says.

COOL TO BE KIND

If you’ve got a little bugbear with buying leather, Carol wants you to know that she gets it. “A lot of people don’t understand that the leather I buy was destined for landfill, so it’s a nice way of keeping the beauty of that animal going. It’s better for the earth, as vinyl (known as vegan leather or PU leather) is plastic so it never breaks down. But I do also have a vegan range, which uses high end cork from Portugal.”

OUT OF THE BOX

Not a handbag kinda guy or gal? No worries! Carol also creates purses, clutches, belts, duffle bags, wine bottle carriers, journal covers, keyrings, and even does industry branding by burning logos into the leather. “I get a lot of requests to do aprons, menu covers and wine bags, and can even imprint branding on wood.” Carol has also dipped her toe into creating stunning pieces of clothing with 100 percent linen and 100 percent cotton after struggling to find styles she liked in fabric that would last. “I’m a very tactile person, so it’s all about the texture and quality of what I touch.” Being in the Barossa has meant a huge amount of community support for Carol, and she loves nothing more than pop-ins from locals and visitors to her private studio where you can see her masterpieces. “It’s a real experience visiting the display room — it’s a little, rustic, straw-rendered building stocked full of leathers, and my workshop is right there, too.” It’s open at various times so always check the website for info.

WORDS Lauren De Cesare PHOTOS Mogg Visuals My DMs were flooded with women who hated their bodies. So, I decided to do something about it and celebrate all shapes and sizes instead!

ecently, someone messaged to compliment me on a skirt I was wearing. It made my day because sometimes, just like all of us, I can be critical of my body. After sharing this conversation on my Instagram page, hundreds of messages came flying in from women just like me — all saying that they hated their arms, legs, tummies, or they hadn’t been to the beach in years because they were uncomfortable with their body. It made me really sad because looking at these women’s photos, I thought they were all beautiful! So, I called in the big guns at Taking Shape to help make a few women feel better about themselves. I love everything that Taking Shape stands for and knew they’d be the perfect team to help me. “Our aim is to be the leading style alternative for curvy women seeking quality

Restore the core WORDS Hayley Pearson PHOTOS Wayne Pearson Hey mama, how’s your core going?

f the last time you experienced a core was from an apple, then welcome to the club! Most mums lose their core during pregnancy, with their pelvic floor going south... along with everything else. After having children, simple things you once took for granted become a little less fun. Jumping on trampolines — not so fun anymore (insert water emoji). Attempting situps may make you look more like an upside down turtle than a human. Sneezing and coughing in public may require a fresh pair of undies, and racing to the toilet a million times a day… well, that’s just the norm now.

Thankfully, there are options to restore your core, and surgery doesn’t have to be top of the list. Regenesis Aesthetic and Wellness offers core to floor therapy — the first noninvasive treatment to address the whole core, which can improve muscle strength, balance and reduce incontinence. Located in Kent Town, the thoughtfully designed women's wellness centre offers state-of-the-art treatments, making women feel their most confident. “We listen to your concerns, discuss goals and manage expectations, which enables our clinicians to tailor the various non-invasive treatments specifically to your requirements,” says Practice Manager Chamila Romanelli. We took it upon ourselves to road-test a few of their world-class treatments...

Kristy

She’s 50 and fabulous, but with four beautiful children, Kristy’s pelvic floor is not so crash-hot and it needs some serious TLC. “Kristy road-tested the EMSELLA, which uses electromagnetic energy to contract your pelvic floor. One session induces thousands of contractions, which is extremely important in muscle re-education of incontinent patients,” says Cosmetic Surgeon/Director of Regenesis Cosmetic Surgery Dr Robin Chok. EMSELLA’s 30-minute treatments are non-invasive, which means you can do your six sessions fully clothed. “Results are different for everyone and we recommend six sessions for best results. The muscles are still engaging for six weeks after your last treatment, so some women feel results after two sessions; others may take a couple of months to feel a difference.”

NOBODY EVER TELLS YOU HOW TO PUT YOUR BODY BACK TOGETHER AFTER HAVING BABIES. - 94

Lauren

It doesn’t matter what size you are, most women have cellulite! New mama bear Lauren road-tested the EMTONE, which aims to reduce cellulite and make your skin firmer. “Radio frequency generates heat, which allows the energy to penetrate deep into the cellulite, simultaneously delivering non-invasive thermal and mechanical energy to eliminate areas of cellulite and tighten loose skin,” Chamila says.

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT SIZE YOU ARE, MOST WOMEN HAVE CELLULITE!

Results may vary. Always speak to your medical professional to decide whether this service is right for you. @regenesis_medical_wellness regenesiscosmeticsurgery.com.au

Hayley

Feeling great at 40, I have two boys (aged ten and seven), and two C-section scars to prove it! I do Pilates to feel strong, but the word ‘plank’ still makes me shiver. I roadtested Regenesis’ brand-new EMSCULPT NEO — the first non-invasive body shaping procedure in Australia. “It involves four 30-minute sessions, with no pain and no down time,” Dr Chok says. Mama to two daughters (and one of my favourite actresses), Drew Barrymore is now a spokesperson for EMSCULPT. Her abdominal muscles separated during both of her pregnancies, and her core was never the same. Realising that nobody ever tells you how to put your body back together after having babies, Drew became a big advocate for EMSCULPT. So how does it work? “It combines two energies for simultaneous fat elimination and muscle building, using electromagnetic energy to make your muscles contract and radio frequency, which helps to break down fat. It’s equivalent to doing twenty-thousand crunches in thirty minutes. The best results can be seen three months after the last treatment,” says Dr Chok. Hallelujah to that!

But what about the butt?

“EMSCULPT NEO is not just for the abdo, it can do wonders for the bum, too! Weight loss, pregnancies and the ageing process can all diminish the buttocks’ fullness, perkiness, and it can become flatter. This treatment aims to improve posture, balance and back pain by working on both the abdomen and pelvic floor muscles,” Dr Chok says. 95 -
