Yet another beauty savior, Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate is the perfect wake-up call for tired, fatigued skin. I’ve been using this product for over a week now, and loving this new addition to my morning routine.

What is a Kulcha? A kulcha is a popular flat-bread made of wheat flour. It is baked in a traditional tandoor (an Indian clay oven), basted with butter and often served with chole (a chickpea curry) and a generous dollop of salted butter as garnish.
Amritsar, a city in the Northern state of Punjab (India) is well-known for their kulchas. An endless variety of kulchas have emerged from this region ranging by various stuffings. At Kulcha King restaurant itself, you have a choice between 9 different kulcha stuffings including vegetarian and non-veg options.
Kulcha King entered the UAE market just over 2 years ago, and has seen an impressive growth. The restaurant currently has 10 restaurants across Dubai (and one in Sharjah), and their latest branch is located on the ground floor of Flora Hotel (Barsha, Dubai right next to Mall of the Emirates).
We were invited to dinner at Kulcha King’s Flora Hotel branch last Thursday, and let me tell you their menu expands well beyond kulchas alone!

I met the very lovely Abi Mitton, Marketing Manager of South Africa’s prestigious wine-making brand, 
The Winery of Good Hope at the wine-tasting event at The Meat Co. My brief chitchat with her a few months ago gave me a deeper insight into the world of wines. Did you know you actually get degrees specializing as a wine connoisseur? And how about eco-friendly wine-making, and the pairing of different wines with different meals?
Abi is a walking-talking encyclopedia on wines, and here she shares insider information on the wine-making industry.

Who doesn’t like a freebie? And a freebie with a conscience is all the more special. Lush, one of my all-time favorite skincare brands, gives back to the environment (and its major fans!) by offering a free face mask every time 5 clean, empty Lush pots are returned.
As a major Lushie, I have a whole stack of their pots and boy are they taking up precious bathroom shelf space! I finally did a ‘pot clearing’, and got rewarded with a choice of any Lush face mask I wanted to try.

Have you heard of MedColl? It’s the latest buzz on the beauty supplement counter, and the online reviews sound just as radiant as the product claims.
We’ve all heard of collagen, the structural naturally occurring protein in our bodies that keep our skin taut and youthful. The beauty sellers have adulterated the gullible market with sly cons including collagen creams and potions (logically speaking, how can smearing on some collagen help the overall complexion?).
Scientific studies have also proven that ingesting collagen is of little help. It just gets excreted like other proteins, and does not do much more for the skin.
Enter MedColl, a breakthrough medically backed supplement that is made of natural ingredients. Unlike other collagen supplements on the market, MedColl urges the body to create more collagen holistically, rather than supply it with an artificial source. MedColl promises much more than beautiful skin. With the body producing a better amount of collagen, MedColl promises healthy joints and a stronger immune system to boot. The product claims users can see results in as short a time as 45 days!

We’ve all heard of Contouring. Beauty buffs and novices alike have been practicing brush strokes with a whole plethora of palettes in the quest to achieve the much promised bronzed, angled and slimmer face.
But have you heard of Strobing? The term was alien to me a couple of months back, and we recently got introduced over the Aquarius Beauty Heroes event.

Located in the isolation of Barsha 1 (Dubai), Nom Nom is the little Asian ‘hidden gem’ that has been in the spotlight on social media in the past few months.
Perhaps its the quirky Instagram-friendly name, or the hashtagged chopstick logo. Perhaps its the influx of diners raving about the food and posting drool-worthy tributes. As a foodie with a genuine passion for South-East Asian cuisines, I headed to Nom Nom Asia last Wednesday night with the family to investigate on what all the fuss was about.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but as women, awareness and self-care need to extend well beyond October and become a part of our daily lives.
The numbers are morbid. Statistics show 1 in 8 women will fall prey to this life-threatening disease sometime or another, and the number of women under 40 being diagnosed is on a spike.
Almost every household has a cancer story to tell. However, it isn’t all doom and gloom. Although the exact causes of cancers in any form are still a vague question mark, scientific advances and alternative healing methods have saved many lives the world over. For breast cancer specifically, early detection is key.

Pier 7, the signature circular designed building adjacent to Marina Mall, Dubai has made its mark on the culinary map. It houses 7 different dining concepts, each offering stunning views of the Dubai Marina skyline and the Arabian Gulf.
I was under the impression that Pier 7 was all about special occasions, fine-dining, and dressing up, but last weekend’s dinner at Fume (on the 1st floor of Pier 7) changed my views significantly.
With its bright red doors and blaring music, Fume is Pier 7’s casual, quirky nest. Saturday night, and the place was packed! At Fume, the vibe is welcomingly casual, and you see diners in shorts and jandals, and even suited executives who want to let their hair down.
