I honestly despise the organic, organised- playdate obsessed, daily-trips-to- the- park, let's bake teddy cupcakes to nursery, TYPE- A mums that are constantly posting holier- than- thou updates on Facebook and asking really stupid sounding (at least stupid sounding to more 'go-with-the-flow' mummies like me) questions on the half a billion or so "mommy forums"...

What gets me through marathon shifts at the hospital..
For the longest time, I was an utter bore when it came to scents. I had a signature scent, which I wore all year- day and night. I wore it till it made me nauseous; at which point I would seek out another "signature scent". I then wore THAT ad nauseam. I like fresh, aqua... Continue Reading →
Yes folks, I spend about 4 minutes or so on skincare everyday. Considering the fact that I can allot only about four hours to sleep and rest, I think 4 minutes on skincare is borderline luxurious. Here goes... Getting the war- paint off. I use one of the two, depending on what I feel like... Continue Reading →
Well, it has been a while, has it not? Since we spoke fun, girly (womanly?) things? This is a sort of "bonus post" for the day.

Shawarma Booteela, Woqod Petrol Station,... Continue Reading →
I know it isn't Monday yet, but I couldn't pass by without sharing something as incredible as this. Every time I was in rotation at the Orthopedic OR, I remember how a the whole "macho- butcher-bunch" would have a good laugh at my "little" self. A particularly pleasant 6 feet 3 gentleman would "shield" me... 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 →
