14 North 108 East: REVIEW
Sydney is growing.
And by growing I mean the parameters of what constitutes 'Greater Sydney' has changed, and as a result, there are new burgeoning Sydney suburbs you've never heard of.
Because of this, one could argue the geographical centre of the city of Sydney is changing.
Gone are the days (we hope!) that people from the eastern suburbs don't venture further than Leichhardt for a good feed, and as a proud 'westie' (and still living in Sydney's western suburbs), I love hearing about new restaurants - and whole new living precincts - popping up and demanding to be visited.
One such suburb is Emerald Hills, which is minutes away from the new train station at Leppington, and the M5 Motorway (that's another thing about westies - we are so used to taking motorways that a long journey to the other side of Sydney invariably includes several motorways and myriad tolls).
Nestled near Emerald Hills is the gorgeous Lakeside Golf Club Camden and the rolling Camden Hills, as well as a brand new residential area and... a whole new shopping and eating precinct.
Enter, one of THE best (okay, I am going to say it, the actual best!) Vietnamese restaurants I have eaten at: 14 North 108 East.
Where do I start? From the prompt, super friendly, and supremely knowledgeable venue manager Alessandro (aka Alex) serving us, to the next level, taste bud tingling dishes, to the light and airy ambience, relaxed vibe, and the beautifully decorated venue, this place is completely worth the visit for locals (but they already know that) to diners who want to be transported (and I don't mind just clocking up some k's on the car) to another culinary level.
Below are just some photos of my experience as posted on Instagram, with more pics of my delicious dishes below.
Oh, and speaking of geography, what does the venue name mean?
It represents the actual map coordinates of Pleiku, a Vietnamese city famous for its production of coffee.
And coffee here is a very important element of the venue, not only because the owners of 14 North 108 East are the team behind the group of coffee stores, Espresso Warriors, but also because the intention of the venue is that it is a coffee stop with many interpretations of coffee. Wait until you try the various blends!

GlamCorner Designer Dress Hire: REVIEW
Have an event, want to make an impact, but don't know where to start?
This was me last week, relying on a dress I fell in love with, only to have the seams fall apart with days to go... argh! What to do?
I turned immediately to GlamCorner, and while the PR team there came to my rescue, I went through the processes as a normal customer would so I could report back on the whole experience. I can attest that this was the easiest way to dress up with maximum impact at an event, with minimal impact on your wallet, the environment, and your wardrobe space.
The way to start approaching getting your dream dress is to simply get on the site and start to familiarise yourself with the process.
I am a fan of getting right into the FAQs so I know how the whole thing works.
You can read the whole thing HERE.
Some of the key questions are:
Does GlamCorner have a physical shop? No, they are purely an online designer dress service.
Yes, they do ship Australia wide (but not overseas).
So, if you are like me and prefer the tactile experience (where you get to try clothes on), how do you minimise the risk and ensure there is a very high probability the dress will be your perfect fit?
Here's my tip!
Start searching for the outfit you want - start by refining the search by choosing the event style, the size, or even the designer. I chose to put the type of event in my search engine - in this case, 'gala' - see all the categories here: https://www.glamcorner.com.au/occasions
Then, you refine the search further by checking availability: input your postcode, your size, and delivery date. So, when you want it delivered in order to make it in time for your event. The minimum hire time is 4 days (you get it the day before, try it on, have it ready to wear for the event, then have time to send it back with a return already paid postage satchel
Now... if you leave it last minute like I did... you CAN choose and order it and have it delivered ON THE SAME DAY!
YES!
This is what my experience was, and I was nothing short of happy and relieved with the result.
The best part is that you start to get real savvy on how to navigate the site, and how to understand what will suit you.
From getting the know the fit (does it have stretch?), to seeing what the actual length is from shoulder to toe, to getting the low down on what body shape the dress will fit, you almost kinda can't get it wrong.
Feeling a bit concerned? You can add another dress option as your plan B for a tiny extra $15! Yes!

Feeling a bit concerned? You can add another dress option as your plan B for a tiny extra $15! Yes!
You can choose from the GlamCorner collection of over 10,000 event dresses and gowns. Want to secure a dress in advance? You can book your favourite dress online up to six months in advance! The dress is then yours for 4 or 8 days, and comes with accidental damage insurance.
So, what if your dress does not fit or you don't like it? GlamCorner asks you just fill out the return request form and send the dress back via the prepaid return bag within 24 hours of delivery (with tags still intact), and they will send you out a new size or offer a full refund. If you've selected the same-day delivery option, they will issue a full refund minus the shipping cost. Pretty good, huh!
So... what did MY GlamCorner dress look like?
Here it is, my Nicole Miller STUNNER, the Loren Stretch Lace Gown - you can shop that look right HERE:

Mayerling Skincare: BEAUTY REVIEW
When a skincare line is referred to as something the consumer has not seen before, by someone who has been in the industry for over 50 years, you stop and listen!
Tony Hasham, the founder and CEO of Mayerling Skincare says he has "never come across a range of skincare treatment like the Mayerling skin renewal system."
The product speaks for itself, and there is more below on it, and this video is excellent in explaining exactly what the product line does, the results to expect, and the active ingredients which make it all happen. I really enjoyed watching this! Why don't all brands so this?
Mayerling Tony 2 V3 from TONY HASHAM on Vimeo.
Multi award-winner and Sydney-based cosmetic surgeon Dr Lawrence Ho founded Mayerling in 1999, when his results-based research led him to develop a brand that achieves clinical results with minimal effort and without any downtime.
As a brand, Mayerling are leaders in exfoliation, resurfacing and skin renewal. The brand has been formulating their own clinical peels and supplying the professional beauty industry for over 20 years. We have professional salons Australia-wide offering clinical peels that are proven to substantially increase the effectiveness of our home treatments.
See them HERE.
From a personal perspective, I can attest the results after using Mayerling Skincare have been huge, and like nothing my skin has experienced before... and I have been writing about beauty for over 20 years!
Ready to shop? Go here: https://mayerlingskincare.com/products/
The products I used for the roadtest are below.
The Foaming Cleanser. SHOP THAT HERE.
And the Forte Day and Night Creams. SHOP THAT HERE.
These are the two products you should use to start you off. And at time of publishing this post, you can get the cleanser for FREE when you buy the above day and night duo pack!

Multi award-winner and Sydney-based cosmetic surgeon Dr Lawrence Ho founded Mayerling in 1999, when his results-based research led him to develop a brand that achieves clinical results with minimal effort and without any downtime.
His findings were based on first-hand research, where he followed the treatment of clients who were undergoing peels and laser skin rejuvenation. The end results proved that resurfaced skin is the key to younger looking skin. In fact, as Hasham says in the video above, some patients were actually being prepped for laser resurfacing!
“Mayerling believes in skincare that works, without the fuss or irritation often associated with other systems. We offer safe, highly active ingredients giving visible results and benefits”
More about Mayerling Skincare.As a brand, Mayerling are leaders in exfoliation, resurfacing and skin renewal. The brand has been formulating their own clinical peels and supplying the professional beauty industry for over 20 years. We have professional salons Australia-wide offering clinical peels that are proven to substantially increase the effectiveness of our home treatments.
Their home treatment products work on the premise that for the skin’s texture to be improved, it must be resurfaced. The old cells need to be removed, allowing the new, young, healthy skin cells to regenerate from deep within the skin.
To achieve fast effective results Mayerling uses a highly concentrated and balanced combination of potent cosmeceutical and natural ingredients, which are supported with scientific evidence and efficacy studies.
And who doesn't love a before and after when it comes to skin and body - these photos showing real results are EXTRAORDINARY!See them HERE.
