One last word..

"Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché."

(Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian)


- to happiness.. may each and every one of you bask in it x

Is it really over?

We all seek action, drama, that something to "keep us going" as my friend once called it..


As we get older.. Those precious moments of everything new, a new crush, a new job, a new love a new car, tend to wear off.. We run out of firsts and the rush of excitement we usd to get from them..


Me and my friends (all married now) had a get together and went through what we think is the problem with us right now.. Why aren't we as high on life as we were a few years ago.. Ah to be 21 and devoid of scepticism and cynicism..

And we came up with this.. We simply lack action, that umph we used to get when we hang out and discuss a new relationship, job mishap, outfit, or breakup.. It was the drama that kept us going.. That made every day special.. In its own way..


But if we are finding it hard to settle down after setting the bar so high pre-settling down.. How are all those women doing it?


One of the girls suggested that "they get their kicks out of pregnancy.. And raising kids.. And basically having their lives revolve around the upbringing of healthy well bread individuals into this world"


But this can't be the only solution!


We, all four of us, are working women, with a full time job and extras, we spend time with our families, husbands, gals, department stores and shoes.. We do all there is to do.. But there is a void still.. Where our stories used to be..


And then one of them jumped in: I watch noor!


Owkaay?


She went like: it has enough drama to keep me going!


So with this I ask you.. After a certain age, when ur fresh out of firsts.. What do you do to get ur dose of drama?

Or should it be a thing in the past, and the present is better left still, sans ripples?

Going Organic!

A few years ago, when the first organic supermarket opened in Dubai.. I remember my mom bringing back all sorts of groceries and declaring that "We will go organic".. the next day.. no one had lunch.. it was.. un-palatable, if i were to describe it in one word..


So it was then and there that i knew "organic" is not for me.. But since i'm trying to be more environmentally conscious as of late.. i decided give it another shot..

1. The Hair Care:

Yes i ditched my fekkai's for a week to try out this environmentally friendly line of products instead.. the result.. not so good. Where i was used to getting VOLUME, i ended up with flat hair that really did not seem "crisp" enough to me..

2. The Fizzy Drinks

This is what i'm having instead of perrier starting next week.. (will tell you how it goes)


3. The Cat Litter:


Absolutely amazing! the best there is.. and u get a clear conscious out of it too! XD


I admit it's nothing.. but I'm taking it one step at a time...

The Story of a Getaway!

Since we were almost burnt out from work, the heat.. and life.. we decided to have a little trip to the outskirts of UAE..

So I got my stuff ready for a much needed getaway!

Where the beach was clear..

The tanning great..

And the ambiance romantic..

Complimented by a full moon too! (btw i am very proud of this shot, although its 2 shots put together.. but still Both were taken by me XD) lol

But not for long! (eclipse captured poorly, but delightfully!)

And like all the good things in life.. it had to come to an end..
But we certainly felt as fresh as dawn walking out of there!

- to memorable getaways and refreshing starts! xx
