LET'S START WITH SHAWARMA! And so I have found another shawarma jaunt folks, a charcoal grilled shawarma place no less. It has been a few months since it opened, and with other "quickie- food" outlets in its immediate vicinity, this Woqod Station just became my favorite fast-food station fuel station ever! Where? Shawarma Booteela, Woqod Petrol Station,... Continue Reading →
So, we are still talking makeup/ wash bags here. And my favorite ones are has always been the Ted Baker ones. For long, I loved this pale pink, rose-gold(ish) and white one and lusted over it at a store in London, at a time when I still did not know how to apply eye-liner and thought... Continue Reading →
The purists may disagree, but in my book wash-bags, toiletry cases, cosmetic pouches are all the same thing. They serve interchangeable purposes and only slightly differ in size. I like my cosmetic cases to be fairly compact and travel friendly. When not travelling, the smaller ones are usually perched on the vanity, stocked up with... Continue Reading →
The weather has been a real stinker this month. I'm hoping against hope that we are past the heat zenith and can't wait for the cooler months to arrive. Unfortunately though, the cooler months are still some time away, and for now all I can do is seek solace in the parky confines of the air-conditioned... Continue Reading →

Ramadan is also a time when you are going about life on full throttle with... Continue Reading →

Halfway into June, and I finally get down to it! Without further ado.. 1. Organisation! Clothes, books, cosmetics, stationary- everything needs boxes and corners and tiny little cubicles; at least in my humble opinion. It is my most recent obsession. I have done the rounds at Ikea and Dragon Mart. Sadly Dragon Mart proved to... Continue Reading →
Windows 10 is just round the corner; July 29th to be precise. The notifications have arrived and I have done my due diligence i.e. reserved my "free" upgrade. I am one of those rare species (at least in the part of the world that I live in) that also owns the flagship Windows phone- the... Continue Reading →
Yay! So the good news is that the half- yearly/ pre- Ramadan sales are on at many stores. The bad news? Well they are mostly of no use to me 😦 Women folk who are reading this, if you can turn up at a store, just eyeball a couple of pieces and then pick your... Continue Reading →
