Why I Didn’t Wear Anything but Jeans for Years

Over the past few months, my wardrobe has been going through a total revamp. I spent years shopping clothing that I was comfortable in but never branched out to anything outside my comfort zone. I avidly shopped for blouses but, I’d almost always pair them with my black/white jeans no matter what the occasion was. I pretty much never owned anything besides multiple pairs of black and white jeans. The main reason behind this total lack of willingness to step out of my bubble was due to the weight I had put on during the course of my university degree.…

5 Incredible Beauty Brands You Probably Haven’t Heard About

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Beauty Carnival, an event held in Downtown Dubai by Beauty Solutions Middle East and Beautiful Brands. The event had a set-up that mirrored that of a carnival. They had everything from the spin-the wheel game to a cotton candy stand! Alongside this, there were little stalls, each representing a beauty brand that is sold online at Beauty Solutions Middle East and Beautiful Brands. Each of these stalls were beautifully decorated with products that particular brand sold. On the day, as I walked around the event, I got to discover so many brands I hadn’t…

My Experience with Oribe Haircare

Back in 2007, haircare products predominantly fell in two categories; one that was designed to be used by professional hair technicians and the other group consisted of products that were available to purchase at your local superstore. This changed with the launch of Oribe Haircare in 2008. Each product was carefully crafted to deliver high performance when used by professionals or at home. Fast forwarding to 2018, Oribe is now an award-winning brand that has expanded into the makeup and skincare realms as well!   I had the opportunity to meet their International Educator, Mandee Tauber at the Oribe Masterclass…

Game-changing Sukin Skincare Products You Need to Try

We often tend to look at the ingredients that are used to make the food we eat but, we never pay attention to what goes into the products that we use on the largest organ of our body, the skin. The Australian bran, Sukin Naturals, advocates the use of more natural ingredients and craft beautiful products that are free from additives and any harsh chemicals that can cause damage to our skin. Sukin Naturals recently launched their skincare range in the United Arab Emirates. I was quite excited as had heard so much about the amazing quality of their skincare…

The Move: Less House More Home

Recently, I moved from central London to Buckingham, to pursue my second degree at university. I was nervous to move out of London, my comfort zone, to a place totally unknown. This move signified the beginning of a new chapter in my life. It was a bitter sweet feeling. I didn’t have much furniture of my own in my previous apartment, which made the move relatively easy. My new place was essentially a blank canvas waiting to be decorated.   In the first few weeks following my move, I waited for all the furniture to arrive as I placed orders…

Body Yogurts: 15 Seconds To Glowing Skin

Walking past the Body Shop store’s window in Dubai Mall, a set of tubs neatly stacked on top of each other immediately caught my eye. Upon a closer look, I read the words Body Yogurt written on the colorful product. I decided to pop into the store to find out more about it. Stores like The Body Shop and Lush always have this beautiful and calming scent that lingers around the store and draws you in!   As this product had just launched, the body yogurts were placed in the middle of the store with testers in view. I immediately…
