My old post talks about one of their unique collections but today I have to highlight the New Liquid Matte Lipsticks that have been re-launched! Let me share with my readers why have I been obsessed with them. If you may have noticed or it’s my personal experience that the shades in the market are very rarely in tones of brown or red… it’s either a nice shade or bright shade of red or a single usual…

    The Greek way of Life!

    Since I have been away for too long I must share with my readers that I have been traveling and living my life in Greece! It was a much-needed break after the turmoil we all went through because of the pandemic. Greece, one of the most beautiful country ….the weather …the food…..its beauty ….or its culture……Greece is a must-visit for its people! This country really believes in “Guest is God”…the term I learned in the hospitality industry. Every town or city or a small village in Greece really knows how to treat its visitors well. One of the most unique ways of showing their love was through their food. It…

    Folklores – Artisan tales…Beautiful Handcrafted Jewellery at your doorstep!

    We have all appreciated and found comfort in the brands that we love, but there is so much more out there. These are small businesses that most of us don’t know exist and sell exclusive products mostly hand-made or self-designed. These products (as per my experience) are always reasonably priced and only seek out appreciation or financial help. The effort put into these businesses is genuine and the aim is to live in between the competition and provide the best of their capability. I have always supported the new small businesses be it the “Barefood Healthy Snacks” or Folklores…they always have so much to offer. The best part about them…

    Another Insight on Luxury!

    In one of my previous posts, I had shared my point of view on “Luxury”…however, I feel that I had a little more to add to the world of hospitality. In a high-octane Sporting Event, a spectator gets a Thrilling feel. In a Desert Safari, a participant gets an Adventurous feel. In a Meditation center, you would feel Sublime. So what is a heightened feel in a hotel? It is Luxury or Luxe. Yes, all the senses should experience “Luxury”. From the welcome to Check-in, from the Bell-Hop to the Elevator attendant, the well-appointed Suite to the voice answering the intercom…From the Maitre D’Hotel… to the gastronomical delight in Speciality…

    Damac Hills (2) Community and its Greenhouse!

    We recently moved to DAMAC Hills (2) by Damac. It is located at the Al Qudra road (the most convenient landmark). A beautifully designed community with smartly constructed villas and well-defined clusters. This community is pretty self-sufficient and a well-defined plan is still in progress. We have a community center….a golf course…a dog park (where do you find that in communities…only for dogs! One of my favorite places). There are grounds for each kind of sports and numerous swimming pools with activities. Another favorite location for me, an amateur fitness enthusiast, is the enormous gym with types of equipment that you name and it is there! All in all, a…

    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. Not the best decision to visit the restaurant in the summer months, however, it is really beautiful in winters and early summer. Food They serve global cuisine, have a lot of variety that I am sure the menu is designed for guests with all preferences and tastes. As…
