    Weekly Hot Spot; SUSURU
    Ramen has come to Newcastle. SUSURU, which means ‘slurp’ in Japanese, has brought a new kind of international cuisine to our city. Presented to you by the two guys behind the well-known Honeysuckle restaurant, Nagisa, owner Taiyo Namba and Head Chef Chris Schofield, aren’t just serving up a variety of ramen dishes, but also a range of traditional gyoza dumplings with a modern twist. 




    Take a journey through the botanical and marine wildlife of Australia with Nicole Berlach’s beautiful watercolour and illustrative works. Her range of art prints, illustrations and journals combine art and science, inspired by her bushwalks and adventures in nature.




    As we become more and more aware of what we’re putting in our bodies, it is also important to be aware of what we’re putting on our skin, because whatever we do inevitable gets soaked into our system. So it’s no surprise that all natural skincare has become the new must-have in the beauty community over the last year, and local brand Happy Skincare fits right in. 




    Throwback Thursday; Turning on Nobby's Lighthouse
    In January of 1858, Newcastle became home to the third lighthouse in NSW when the famous Nobbys Lighthouse was turned on for the first time. Chosen due to its prominent position at the end of the port, the lighthouse was built to replace the unreliable oil and coal burning lights that were being used at the time.




    If you’re looking for some locally designed and handcrafted fine jewellery, you need to check out Natalie Kube Jewellery. Starting off with a corporate career, in 2000 Natalie decided to leave the office world behind and pursue her passion for jewellery making. 



    Quietly carving a name for itself in the world of vintage clothing here in Newcastle, MisKonduct Klothing is all about providing 50s inspired, pin up, rockabilly clothing for the alternative loving woman who is proud to flaunt her curves.

    Weekly Hot Spot; Little Lane Espresso
    It might be small, but you certainly can’t miss the green building that is Little Lane Espresso in New Lambton. This little takeaway coffee outlet is the perfect place to grab your morning coffee, and maybe a little baked good or two, to kick start your day. 



    Local Source; Skin Juice
    Founded back in 1996 by Joanne Dampney, Skin Juice is a natural, organic and toxic free skincare brand that replaces your night creams and soapy formulas with nourishing oils to give your skin the balanced diet it needs to thrive. 



    f you’re looking to add a little mystical touch to your outfit, you can’t go past the beautiful jewellery creations from local brand Magic Made. The brand is the baby of Novocastrian Cat Mead, who may also recognise from her previous endeavor into the yoga world with Two Feet Yoga (which is no longer in operation), the creative business consultant agency Aligned AF (previously known as Two Feet Creative), the spiritual and personal development podcast which goes by the same name, or even her own blog (is there anything this chick can’t do).



    As designers, musicians and visual artists, is there anything these two can’t do? Twin sisters Catherine and Jennifer have been surrounded by inspiration since their children, growing up in a family of musicians and artists and spending their days playing arts and crafts, listening to their parent’s traditional folk music and always camping and going to folk festivals. 



    You could easily fill your closet and your home with the eclectic mix of second-hand goods available at The Retro Wardrobe. Located on the southern end Beaumont Street, right by a range of cafes, you can grab yourself a caffeine hit and then head shopping through their range of clothing for both men and women, as well as a variety of fashion accessories including handbags, jewellery and hats, along with various other bric a brac, furniture, home décor, vintage suitcases, and other unusual pieces you didn’t even know you needed but that you’ll instantly want to take home. 




    Throwback Thursday; The Shelling of Newcastle
    In the early hours of June 8, 1942, Newcastle came under attack by a Japanese submarine. While many were wary of a possible attack due to the goings on of World War II, the shelling on that winter night still came as a surprise.

    Anyone who knows me knows how much of a prized possession this jumper has already become in my wardrobe. I'm a huge Kurt Cobain and Nirvana fan, so when I saw this on Zaful I had to have it. It's a nice, thick jumper that is certainly going to keep me warm on those winter days, and is even perfect to sleep in on colder nights. Channeling my inner Kurt, I paired it with these sunnies from Twinkedeals.
