The long overdue spring cleaning!

“Some people dream of swimming pools. I dream of closets!”

I am typing this amids piles and piles of clothes, bags, shoes, belts.. U name it, its here. I am in The Closet, my sacred shrine as my husband calls it lol.





I've been here since yesterday, trying to figure out how to free some space, and increase the turnover ;p



Its just that I hate throwing out stuff.. Each and every piece was hand picked and made mine. It reminds me of something, somewhere or someone.. It is this "sentimental value" that I find really hard to give up on.



I know that a bag from 3 seasons past is not leaving the closet (not on me anyways) anytime soon.. But how can I part with it when I had my name on the longest waiting list, waited on tip-toes and was walking on clouds for days when I got "the call" lol?





And let's not forget the shoes.





I have invaded most of my husband's closet space as is, and there's nothing left but to cancel out those pieces I do not need anymore.





Its much harder than it sounds!

Breakout crisis!

The weather is getting worse by day, not only is it hot and humid but its dusty and grey in a ghastly way..


And to top it off all my allergies have flared up from the dust n what not, my face is starting to breakout a la pollution and my head is throbbing from the lack of sleep and.. Something. Probably allergic sinusitis.


Must get out pronto.

Haviana's Haven!

I just spent the day walking in heels, so when I set eyes on this (the first haviana's store in dubai) my feet just took me there.



This lead to that.



And so, I got my first pair of flip flops.





Still not liking how they look on me, but they really feel heavenly after a long day of torture!

The Epiphany

In an imperfect world, we seek perfection, our expectations soar, when reality is really far from perfect. And so we get disappointed, and with disappointment comes resentment and we end up feeling unhappy.

And with that, we try to change the situation, to what we perceive as our utopia, and when we fail.. The dissatisfaction cycle goes on.

What a vicious cycle it is.

And then I read this:

When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.

(Victor E. Frankl)


And I decided to stop trying to make my life fit into this frame I have painted in my head, that in order for me to be really happy, I need to change ME, the way I see things, the way I deal with them, and try to make do, to settle.

- to a smooth road ahead xx
