I had a message out of the blue the other week from one of the girls in a group I used to be really close with. As has happened for a lot of people, we all had our own worries and concerns over covid and had drifted apart. Messages were sent for birthdays and celebrations,…

Eating Across the Colonies
One of the things that I really actually quite like about living in a COVID-19 world is that places are a bit quieter. I love to go out and catch up with girls, but there was little to no point sometimes because places are too loud either with music or chatter. Covid and the new…
Design & Dine
Ever on the look out for something new to try, when Mandy suggested a girls painting night, I didn’t ask any questions. I just said yes! Design & Dine were hosting an evening at Pure Sky Lounge at the Hilton Jumeirah Beach. For AED300 you could paint yourself a “legend”, have unlimited drinks and some…
Movies under the stars
As I have said a hundred times before, one of my favourite things about being an expat is meeting people from all different backgrounds. Dubai is a great place for that. It’s a literal melting pot of every single nationality there is I think. This week was the Omani’s turn to shine! And shine he…
DIY Dining!
This was an absolutely random find, but possibly one of my favorites ever! A restaurant that lets you play with your food! I know this isn’t a new concept but it is indeed a great one that I need more fun with. As you all know, I like exploring and I will basically try any…
Mica Paris sings Aretha Franklin
When Dubai Opera announced that Mica Paris was coming to sing Aretha Franklin songs, I have to admit that it wasn’t on my top 10 list of things to do. I don’t mind Aretha songs but I could only name you one. I also couldn’t tell you anything more about Mica Paris aside from she…
The Two Brewers, Windsor
After our incredibly long walk down the aptly named “Long Walk” in Windsor Great Park, we were thrilled to see that literally next to the Castle was the pub we were booked into for lunch. The Two Brewers is absolutely one of those ‘local knowledge’ places.
Dubai World Cup, 2018
Very early one morning last week, I got a text from one of my coworkers asking if I have ever been to the Dubai World Cup. I figure it was just a “do you think I should go” type question so said that I hadn’t been because it was expensive if you aren’t into horse…
I’m Proud of Me
That is not a statement that you will hear very often, but in this case it is completely true! Recently I was invited karting. Yes, people still do the go-karting thing that I thought had died out back in the early 2000’s! I was really chuffed to be asked along because it’s a group I…
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.
