Blog page facelift Doing some refurbishment on this page. In the meantime our blog posts will be posted here: http://blog.dailyaddict.com.au Please come visit. We have macaroons and a cup of tea, or a cocktail waiting...

Winners are grinners Call me 12 years old but I’m a sucker for treasure hunts, guessing games, riddles and challenges. I have a feeling you might be too when X doesn’t just mark the spot… it also marks a sleek new digital camera! So we’re taking part in the Samsung Dual Display promotion. Here’s how it works: From today until 18 September there will be questions posted on Samsung's Facebook Fan Page: Tap and Take Australia and Twitter. On a few ocassions the answers you're looking for will be hidden within a DA article. The first people to find the answers and get back to Samsung will win a memory card, which entitles them entry to a secret event (for themselves plus a friend) where they will receive a Samsung Dual LCD screen ST500 camera. Ready, set, go!

Comments questions queries You might have noticed a nifty new commenting system at the end of each of some of our feature stories. We're inviting you to share your thoughts with other like-minded people. Then we can all watch the conversation live together. Best of all, it's easy. You can log in with your current social media profiles (like twitter, facebook or digg) and just jump into the conversation. We'd love to hear from you. Important we do a shout out too to the good folks who created the Echo commenting system at JS-Kit.  They let us make things better all round, and we'd like to say a big thanks.  You can find out more about them here. A note on Comment etiquette: Let's keep it clean.  Opinions, short and sweet or long and passionate are encouraged.  Any offensive material is not.  Nasty stuff will be removed and you will not be able to sleep soundly for weeks.  Thank you for taking the time to join in the conversation.

Weekly Addiction - Wintery stand by Willow We love summer as much as the next person and we too dream about the day the mercury rises and our pedicures see the daylight. And yes, we also know that it was the Spring/Summer collection being shown by David Jones yesterday. However, the cut-out full piece swimsuits from Jets and the skimpy floral bikinis by Zimmerman that went down the catwalk, frankly, scared the socks off us! My legs are a long way away from swimsuit time.   The gorgeous trans-seasonal garments from Willow, however, have got our addiction levels running dangerously high. Not only was the beautiful metallic detailing and hardware glamorously edgy, you also won’t freeze over before summer arrives. Willow, we’re addicted. And perhaps just as important as the clothes: the food. Guests ate egg and olive sandwiches, herb scones with goats cheese and smoked salmon, sage and gruyere cheese toasted sandwiches and tutti frutti macaroons. On the austere, alcohol-free drinks menu was coffee, herbal tea, blood orange juice and lots of water with lemon. Our insider tells us that waiters circulated with the canapés for a painstaking 30 minutes without a bite… looks like we’re not the only ones terrified by impending summer swimsuits.

Media call We’re prouder than a pig-tailed girl on her first day at school! Whenever DA receives media coverage we’re always very grateful (and ecstatic!) that so many people out there love what we do as much as we do. And the last couple of weeks have been particularly busy. Check out chief addict, Carrie, and Daily Addict in Australian Women Online and Clare Lancaster’s Marketing Blog. And Mediaweek, Australia’s leading publication for the media industries, also came knocking for the lowdown on Daily Addict. See it here or check out this week’s issue. Cue the Oscars speech… We couldn’t have done it without our lovely readers. Oh how we love thee.
