    Salicylic Acid for Acne! Do we really need this?

    I am sure I don’t need to give my insight on acne since it’s a common issue all of us face multiple times. Also, everyone has their take on getting rid of them, some use home remedies, for some a small drop of toothpaste works. However, what about the stubborn ones, how do we get rid of that acne. I myself run around for solutions and some of them don’t even make sense but I don’t hesitate to try. I was always more of a home remedy person, but recently I gained a little confidence in an ingredient that is “Salicylic acid”… I am not an expert on it but…

    How important is it to work on yourself? Does time permit a few minutes of “Me” time? Or is it too late for the “Transformation”? I am a person who always gave importance to what the world thinks of me or is it the correct way I have been portraying myself? I have been part of an industry that demands poise and beauty.

My college was in a way a finishing school for me, I believe that I was transformed into a lady…

    An Oasis in the Desert…The Farm, Al Barari

    Well, not really a farm but yes a densely green part of UAE is the Al Barari area. The restaurant “The Farm” is designed beautifully with green pathways and bridges connecting a man-made water body to the green part of the restaurant. Ambience Sections are designated within the restaurant. They have both indoor and outdoor areas, but my suggestion…the outdoor is better.
