Girls Should Never Be Afraid To Be Smart
Growing up, I didn’t realize how smart I was, I did well in school but I didn’t quite understand it. I know it sounds complicated but that’s just the plain truth, I am smart. I grew up in a large family and my mum was extremely intelligent, she still is, even though she didn’t…

What I’m Changing In 2022
2021 was a bit of a struggle for me on many fronts. I picked up some habits and behaviors and that was just my way of dealing with things. Other habits I’ve just developed over many years. Either way, I want to make some changes this year

Friends & Standards – 11.01.22
Good morning from sunny Dubai! The weather is truly glorious at the moment and just waking up to the sun rising on my face is a feeling I can’t explain. I guess this is how most people wake up, especially back home where the weather is mostly sunny. Yesterday I had a huge lightbulb…

Happy Sunday! 09.01.22
Happy Sunday! It’s the first Sunday weekend day ever! I know people are probably fed up of hearing about this new work week in Dubai. It is new to us, you will not hear about it next week I promise. Pretty much all my adult life Friday & Saturday was the weekend, we are adjusting…

Fashion Trends 2022 – 07.01.22
Last night I had a horrible night’s sleep. I think I jinxed myself by saying the sound of the rain made me sleep so deeply. Extremely sad at 3.30am, I fought the urge to go back to sleep lest I resume the bad dream. I didn’t dare allow myself drift back into sleep. Is it…

Emily In Paris & Other Stories – 06.01.22
Last week watched season 2 of Emily in Paris, the story line is weak, as expected. I know I don’t watch it for the story line. It’s safe to say that I was waiting to be blown away by Emily’s fashion choices. On the contrary, I quite enjoyed Sylvie’s style, very polished and sophisticated. The…

Are children the only way to be truly happy? 04.01.21
Today was a quiet day, all about work and catching up with all the work we quickly left unfinished in December, thinking January would never come. I’m also exhausted from chasing people for payment, this seems to be a post lockdown issue, or at least it just got worse. It still is very draining for…

A Healthy Start to 2022 – 03.01.22
I promise I won’t say anything about the weather… even though most of our homes are leaking everywhere. I’ve had the electric circuit break twice today. There’s obviously a reason why it doesn’t rain here. Today is the very first Monday we are working on the new Monday to Friday work week. I’m not sure…

Mental Health Among Women – 02.01.21
Today I woke up to the sweet sound of rain against the windows and doors.. Half the house is glass panels so it was blissful and rainy all round. I’m going to bore someone with weather talk but I’m just very excited for rain. The sun came up in the afternoon and then again some…
