Restaurant Review: Ekhidna Winery McLaren Vale

Last night my partner and I went to a local winery Ekhidna for dinner. A friend recommended we try it and despite it only being about 5 minutes from home we had never heard of it before. It is a small charming restaurant set amongst the vineyards. Below are some photos of the inside.

They make their own wine and beer and every menu item has a matching beverage. Check out the restaurant menu here, the beer menu here and the wine list here.

 We started with some rustic ciabatta while enjoying the view.

My partner ordered the black angus with polenta chips, brocolini and roasted tomatoes.

I ordered the market fish of the day: atlantic salmon with beetroot rice and asparagus.

Of course we ordered dessert! We decided to share the flourless chocolate brownie and the lemon sorbet.

I would give it 10 out of 10 for sure! A must if you're in Adelaide!

Summer Beauty Tips from Vogue Australia

After seeng the gorgeous cover of this months Vogue Australia magazine I had search the website for more!

The article below is about how to get cover-girl Marloes Horst's summer look. Here are their tips:

GOLDEN GIRL
When it comes to make-up in high summer, less is more. Foundation is too heavy for the heat so get that sun-kissed complexion with a bronzing, ray-blocking tinted sunscreen. Apply True Solutions True All Day Moisture SPF 30+ Tinted to lightly moisturised skin.

ACE YOUR BASE
Cover up any unwelcome spots with Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Concealer SPF 10 for a flawless base.

EYE OPENER 

Brighten your eyes by applying a hint of Nars Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Goddess onto the inner corners of the each eye.

GIVE SOME CHEEK
The other key aspect of this look is to be extra cheeky. Go hard (or go home) by contouring under the cheekbones with Too Faced’s fun Peach Leopard Bronzer.

PUCKER UP
Get Marloes’ luscious pout by filling lips with Ellis Faas Creamy Lips in L108.
