Have you ever been approached by a stranger, one of those ‘beauty experts’ who often annoyingly try to catch your attention and persuade you to buy something. I was, twice a fortnight ago. On one of my lunch breaks I decided to drop in on Franks (one of my favourite beauty shops). To begin with,...
Looking at some images from last summer, some memories and feelings came to my mind. I remembered waking up at 8:30 on a Saturday morning after just four hours of sleep with a feeling of anxiety over something that felt wrong and somehow negative. We had a great time the night before with my cousins...
Happy Eid to everyone who honoured this beautiful month! During Ramadan I was contemplating fasting a lot and here is my experience with it, what these 30 days taught me and why I feel different about myself after them. Fasting in general is good for your health, that is why there are so many fashionable...

These...
Have you ever been bothered by feelings of you not being productive enough, that you are wasting time or you do not manage your own energy? I quite often feel guilty about these things. Being very goal-oriented I constantly consider ways in which I can improve my mindset in order to make it more productive,...
Good morning on Saturday 🙂 I hope you had a good sleep and an even better cup of coffee. Staying true to some of the things I adore, like casual strolls around shops on weekends, discovering new things and meeting someone for a coffee afterwards, I met a friend today. We got some sunlight on...
Good afternoon, ladies! 🙂 I hope that you are having an exquisite Saturday. Mine was such and I started the day with a really positive vibe.
