We had planned on heading into London to go to Winter Wonderland, but with the recent terror incident in London, and some free tickets to a local Christmas Market, we decided to stay closer to home. I was a little disappointed but mostly elated that I wouldn’t have to go on the train again so…

Dirty Little Secret
It’s about food, of course, before you get all concerned about what you are about to read!! Actually, I think it’s more of a guilty pleasure but whatever. This is the Al Reef Lebanese Bakery on Al Wasl Road. It’s open 24/7, just as an FYI!
Backyard Movies at the Steigenberger Hotel, Business Bay
Waaaaay back in January I was scrolling through Facebook when an interesting event caught my eye. The Steigenberger Hotel was doing ourdoor movies, in a bar/restaurant called The Backyard. I love watching movies under the stars so I phoned (ok, that’s a lie… I whatsapp’d) Carla to see if she would mind moving our Ladies…
Cove Beach Dubai
Another day, another beach! It really is such a hard life some days! This time it was a beach club we opted for after a recommendation by a coworker. I have mixed feelings about beach clubs but figured that it couldn’t be too bad as it was a week day.
Dubai Garden Glow (The Parks, Part 1)
In order to get over the crazy amount of “doing” that we did on the Big Bus Tour, Mum and I ended up having a lovely quiet day of treats the following day. We had a lovely breakfast at Cafe Barbera, dresses made at Deepa’s in Satwa, we had our nails done at N.Bar, we…
A Very Versace Weekend – Pt.2
As you may have read in “A Very Versace Weekend – Pt.1“, I had an absolutely splendid day by the East Wing pool and then brunch at Giardino. It was so good that I had a serious need to try out their other pool and lunch experience! Thanks to the Entertainer’s fabulous 241 offers and…
A Very Versace Weekend – Pt.1
I’m an Aunty again! My wonderful sister had her third child on Wednesday and he is utterly divine! Naturally this had to be celebrated, and so we celebrated in expat style… with a brunch! There are so many on offer at the moment that it was a tough choice, but after reading Lil One Of…
“Souq al Bahar 4 Fish”
I woke at 5am in a real huff. I have no clue why. Perhaps I had been having an enraging dream or something? It’s highly possible as I am a compulsive dreamer. Whatever the reason was though, there was no going back to sleep. I went through Facebook, and Instagram, and caught up on my…
The Irish Village
I’ve lived in Dubai over 5 years now, and have only been to The Irish Village twice – once for a tree lighting ceremony with carols in an attempt to feel christmassy, and the other time was because they had a seriously huge drinks deal going on for their birthday. I have never eaten there…
Spice Route, Paarl
New day and a new set of eating and drinking to be done! Today’s first stop was the Spice Route. Set in the Paarl mountains. It was a bit of a mission to get to as they are digging up the one road that takes you there, but it was entirely worth it! Again, the…
