Here’s JJ & T with another weekly chat about life, the universe…and well, anything… JJ: Hey T – looking forward to the long weekend?

Monique has decided to take a break from her Weekly Celebrity Gossip post due to work commitments, so JJ & T have decided to replace it with a weekly chat about life, the universe…and well, anything… JJ: So, T. We had this silly idea about publishing a weekly chat because we think our readers might find it interesting. T: And we need a new Friday post! JJ: This will either be amazing, or a complete train-wreck. T: Oh well, either way it might be fun. Like a podcast, in text. JJ: Yes… For me, this week was all about Bowie! [...]

Halloween: Where Do You Stand?

October 29, 2012 in Celebrity, Children, Current Affairs, Entertainment, Film & TV, Lifestyle, People, Religion, Self, Society

Halloween is a polarising holiday. If “Holiday” is the right term. Here at KK&T we are as polarised as anyone. We had two posts submitted on the topic, in direct competition with each other. So we decided to post them both… together. From Maree Talidu: At this time of year, every year, I am subjected to name calling, such as ‘heretic’, ‘killjoy’, ‘bible basher’, and ‘racist’ and am accused of not having a sense of fun or adventure. You see, I don’t do Halloween. Never have, never will. This comes down to 3 main points for me. 1. I see Halloween [...]

Fighting Depression: This Place is Yours

June 21, 2012 in Health, Lifestyle, Mental Health, People, Society

One of the things we’re most proud of at KiKi & Tea is giving voice to people who suffer from mental illness, especially depression. Many of our writers and readers have had direct experience with the consequences of living with “the black dog.” By sharing our stories and being open and honest about our problems, we lessen the stigma of mental illness and encourage others to talk about their experiences instead of keeping it to themselves in a bubble of isolation and self-doubt. That’s why we are proud to support the This Place Is Yours project. This Place Is Yours [...]

What Easter Means To Me Part 2

April 8, 2012 in Family, People, Religion, Self, Society

The idea behind KiKi & Tea was to provide a space for people to write, to read, to engage. To present a variety of opinions from different cultural backgrounds, different religions (including non-religious) and different ideas. With that in mind, we asked our readers to tell us what Easter means to them. We were overwhelmed by the response so decided to do a 2 part series of What Easter Means To Me. Here are some of the stories we received: Maree Talidu: Maree is a 31 yr old high school teacher. She is a tomboy who is passionate about music, [...]
