A few weeks back, I was up bright and early on a Saturday morning. For a change it wasn’t for work, but a blogger event. We work hard to get you the latest news and happenings in Dubai!
At 10 am, I arrived on the 3rd floor of Oasis Center in the reception of Balance Wellbeing 360 for a special bloggerati morning (alongside @nagham and @bhavishya).
If you haven’t yet checked on one of our featured shopping sites, Gilt.com, you definitely have a reason to tonight as they are running an exclusive deal on Mario Badescu products!
Favored by Jennifer Aniston and Eva Longoria, Mario Badescu is a cult favorite for US beauty bloggers. A few months back, Gilt had a similar sale and I ordered the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser, Glycolic Acid Toner, and the Drying Lotion. I’ve been using the products for some time now and I can easily say the Toner and Drying Lotion are both must-haves.
The Glycolic Acid Toner is the first toner I’ve used that manages to tone and keep my skin looking matte all day while doing so without a burning irritation. The Drying Lotion is a godsend spot treatment for instant pimple relief. We’ll be doing in-depth reviews soon but highly suggest you test these products out for yourself.
And as we mentioned on Cyber Monday, Gilt now ships internationally so no need to hesitate – order now!

Recently Bayt.com, the #1 job site in the Middle East, conducted a poll on the health and eating habits of professionals in the Middle East & North Africa. After 3 years in the workforce, I know that the stress levels at my office have a direct effect on how healthy I am, which in turn has an effect on how productive I happen to be. Check out below what Bayt.com’s survey revealed. How do you measure up? All I could think was how does 28% of the population survive without coffee – maybe that’s why morning traffic in Dubai is horrible!
A few weeks back I attended the Gap Spring/Summer 2012 collection. And recently it was time to check out its bigger and more luxurious brother, i.e. Banana Republic.
I’ll let you in on a secret – if you are ever in the market for the perfect white wedges (which are a must-have for every summer) – you absolutely need to visit Banana Republic. They have the most stylish, comfortable and highly underrated shoe collection any fashion brand has. And while the shoes didn’t disappoint in this collection, the clothes more than left their mark.
While the movie may have not performed well at the box office, there is no denying the fact that the soundtrack of Agent Vinod is full of bonafide chartbusters. Even though it’s been several weeks since the movie came out, I can’t help but still blast the songs during my workouts.
The song which has most recently caught my attention wasn’t even on the original OST, but due to popular demand has been released as a single:
The song takes inspiration for its lyrics from an old Hindu devotional song with the 2012 version presenting it with great flare thanks to the rock beats.
And if that wasn’t enough, Agent Vinod’s OST also has three other chartbusters which you’ve probably already heard: Pungi, I’ll Do the Talking Tonight and Dil Mera Muft Ka.
