Expresso Yourself
In the IT world, developers are considered “organisms who turn coffee into code”, but for some reason I’m the exception. I’ve always been curious about coffee though, so I asked my fellow team mates why they love it and how they can tell a good cup from an bad one. Different members of the team gave me different answers, so I decided to take my curiosity to a three hours barista course.
Bringing the WOW factor to Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day. The rules around here are pretty simple. It’s the one day of the year that mum doesn’t have to do anything …. unless of course she wants to. I get to relax, watch TV, read my book or simply snooze on the couch all day – if I want to. For that one day a year there is no such thing as housework or cooking and definitely no cleaning up after little people. Oh my lordybe it’s blissful and I look forward to and savour every minute of it.
I Heart Sydney
Our Employee Experience Assistant Cat is celebrating her one year anniversary next month – not with her boyfriend, but with Sydney. Giving up a job on a super yacht that travels around the world to exotic places was not easy, but almost one year ago that’s exactly what I did. After celebrating my 30th birthday [...]

Seas the day
The guys love what they do (I mean, who wouldn’t with Sydney Harbour as an office!) and have a great sense of humour, which made the day that much more enjoyable. They make you feel at ease – we felt like we were sailing with a bunch of mates. We got to soak up all the iconic sites Sydney offers from the Harbour, a view we should all enjoy more often.
Message in Chocolate and Gran’s Fudge
I decided to indulge in two, of the dozens, of scrumptious gourmet gift experiences RedBalloon has to choose from. The arrival and timing was perfect because I’ve had a tough week or two…
Learning More About Photography
When I spotted the 1 Day Photography Course on RedBalloon, I snapped up the opportunity to learn more about photography in practical setting. This is how the day went…
Amused Bouche
Our Project Manager Pete recently dined out with an eight course degustation delight. I’m a self-confessed foodie. I don’t mean that I’m a contender for Masterchef or a sophisticated epicure… I just LOVE food! So when I purchased my friend Alex the 8 Course Degustation Dinner – For 2 for her birthday it wasn’t an [...]
