A FUN food review UNCLE MINGS. Sydney's 20's inspired bar.
This is my first restaurant review, so please, bear with me.
A great new bar with Chinese 20's theme has opened in 49 York St. Sydney. NSW.
The manager happened to come into an event I was attending just around the corner, and gave us an invitation to go see it.
It's called Uncle Mings, and is inspired by 1920's China.
It has Chinese "tapas" consisting of Dumplings in 3 flavors, Gow Gee in 2 varieties, Pork Dim SIms, and BBQ Duck buns. And a dessert menu of Red Bean Buns.
I tried the Pork dumplings, and they were really DELICIOUS, I thoroughly enjoyed them :) at $7.40 for 3, it's a nice tapas style snack.
I was driving, so just had a coke, but the bar has a good variety of wine and beer (Chinese, and Japanese), starting from $7.50 per glass, CIDER, SAKE (a fave) Japanese and Scottish whiskey, bourbon (naturally) Rum, Vodka, Gin and other liquors, so something to please anyone really.
They also have a small cocktail list, with cocktails that are unique, and a little bit unusual at least, from sweet, to a chilli style cocktail....how cool is that?
I would suggest you go and have a looksie, have some dumplings and a cold wine or beer if you're in the city as they are open to midnight most nights, and GOD knows, theres NOTHING much else to do in the city weeknights after 5.
PS, for the ladies, the lighting is EXTREMELY flattering :)

A'kin rose hip oil
I was recently sent the A'kin rosehip oil to try and blog about by The Purist company.
I have used various oils on my skin with great success, and had heard a lot about the benefits of pure rose hip oil.
A'kin's pure rose hip oil, contains one ingrendient...rose hip oil. No fillers, no silicons, no dimethicones, no water, no mineral oils or anything like that.
It's certified organic too, BONUS.
ROse-hip oil is knows for healing, moisturizing the skin, and making the skin feel softer and smoother. It contains pro-vitamin A, Vitamin E and omega 9, 3, and 6.
AND....it's cheap as chips.
It retails for around $16 or so for the small dropper bottle 23ml, and trust me when i say, a little bit goes a real long way. I would dare say, the small bottle would last 3 months easily. AND at THAT price, it makes having nice skin actually affordable for anyone.
I've been using 2 drops twice daily and following with a rosehip moisturizer for around 2 weeks now. It doesnt cause breakouts and makeup sits nicely on top of it too. The box recommends 3-4 drops, but as i said, around 2 drops is enough for my skin and neck area. I gently press it into the skin after i cleanse and tone. I use the A'kin rose-hip spray toner, which I already had, and I find this makes the product spread very easily.
You can mix a little bit of the oil into your hand cream too, as winter tends to dry out and age the hands unfortunately.
So far, after 2 plus weeks of using the oil, I am wrapped. It works better than a regular serum in my opinion, and you KNOW it's pure and natural with nothing man made or artificial made-up ingrendients that would take a cosmetic chemist degree to decifer.

TRILOGY ROSE HIP Skin care moisturizer YES IT WORKS
I hadn't tried trilogy products before and saw that the Australian Woman's Weekly had a free generous sized sample tube as a promotion last month.
I was really impressed with it. You could smell the essential oils immediately, giving a nice relaxing feeling.
The cream itself is nice and light and goes a long way.
I would highly recommend using a rose hip oil underneath to get the best results you want.
The rose hip oil contained in the cream is certified organic as is the marula and orange flower.

Atlantis at home hair colour by O&M
I recently bought and tried Atlantis at home hair colour, it's a home colour but different, as it's not full of nasty chemicals that make your eyes hurt and your head itch.
Very easy to use on previouly coloured hair for regrowth or on uncoloured hair.
I bought the shade closest to my own hair colour (Natural Blonde #8)
The instructions are really easy to follow too, the product consists of a powder hair colour, which you add to warm water, shake and apply according to the instruction.
The hair colour can be used as a semi or as a permanent colour, the only thing it wont do is lighten the hair, so choose one that's close to your hair colour or a shade or two deeper.
The thing about most home hair colouring is, that it burns my scalp, Atlantis doesn't!!!
The first photo in the purple dress shows my original hair colour...yeah, it's OK, but not really a shiny colour or anything.
Cut to Atlantis...shine, softness, and more imporntant, no nasty yukky ingrendients, no stinks, no stingy eyes or burning hair, and it doesnt contain any bleach, so you can't really fry your hair off.
The Second photo shows after i used Atlantis, left on as per instructions. I also had pink hair balayage, which it didnt completely cover, but it blends in it real nice. This is also just after shampooing and conditioning with O&M and no blow dry.
I can't tell you too much about the ingrendients IN IT, or what they leave out, as I'm not a hairdresser, but DAMN girlfriend, it's good!
I believe Atlantis Water Colour Home hair colour retails for around $26.
I got mine at the Natural Marketplace in Rozelle.
PS, you can also buy this colour in a clear gloss to add shine to the hair at ANYTIME you want :)

Mira's Hand Pure Argan Oil review
I am a follower of a few nieche beauty brands on twitter, and couldnt pass up the opportunity when offered by Mira's Hand to try their product.
I was given Mira's Hand 100% pure Argan oil.
To be honest, i had tried other brands of moroccan type argan oil, and was fairly pleased with the results, so was happily surprised with the difference that is Mira's Hand Argan oil.
For starters, Mira's Hand is 100% argan oil, no silicons, no dimethicones, no added fragrance etc, no added extra anything.
It comes in a dark glass bottle with dropper, unlike the other brands which have pumps, so you only use very little product each time, basically, you only need about 3 drops if that.
I tried it in a number of different ways:
First, as a skin moisturizer, 2 drops after my cleanser and spray toner, and patted it into my skin. My skin felt moisturized, but not oily, and I didnt experience any breakouts with it either.
You can also mix it into moisturizer, or use it as a serum before moisturizer.
I used it as a hair serum, just smoothing it over fly aways.
You can also add it to hair treatments., or just use it straight onto the scalp (mine gets irritated and red quite a bit) and it wont make your hair look dank and oily.
I mixed it with lip balm to soothe cracked lips.
I also used it neat on my lips without any problems on the cracked skin.
Mixed well with cuticle cream for dry nails and hands.
Tried on some rough patches of skin on my arm, and it felt a lot smoother afterwards.
I added a couple of drops into my foundation, so the foundation looked a bit more dewey.
I mixed it with mineral foundation to turn it into a concealer for the eye area...YES, in the eye area, the most sensitive area of my face, and no problems at all.
I mixed it with powder blush to make a cream blush.
Also mixed it with lipstick to make a treatment lippie.
I also used it to make cream eye shadow. Again, no eye irritation.
I tried it on a few cuts on my skin to soothe, again...all good.
This is a great all rounder product, all natural, without added nasties.
Would I buy it...YES I WOULD!!!
