BenQ Eye Care Monitor Review

Just when technology was fast heading toward the portable route, who would have thought that a 27” monitor could get me this excited?!

Changing times! Living in a pandemic and spending more time than ever before at home means more screen time, which gives me the biggest jolt of mummy-guilt ever. My daughter spends a great deal of time with online learning, not to mention the additional hours of online browsing and play.

Screen time is taking a toll on our eye health, and as a mother, I really worry about the long-term impact it can have on my child. This is why I decided to try out the BenQ GW2480T Eye Care Monitor.

Vegan Menu at The Marketplace (Marriott Al Jaddaf)

Eating out needn’t be unhealthy. At The Marketplace, Marriott Al Jaddaf the culinary team have created a very special vegan menu for health conscious diners.

Post a very pampering session at Saray Spa on the 7th floor, it only seemed apt that I treat myself to a vegan lunch and give the brand-new menu a try.

It's the weekend. You're decked up all pretty & party hard. It's the weekend, but promise me you'll swipe off all that makeup before you hit the sack 🙏 One of the cardinal sins of skincare is sleeping in with makeup. Doing so can be likened to marinating meat. You’re letting all that makeup marinate and sink into your pores overnight😱 No matter how late it is, or how tired I am, I follow this simple yet highly thorough cleansing routine to rid my face of makeup and grime before I sleep 🌠 PS: I use a kitchen ingredient that gets rid of all kinds of makeup, even the most stubborn long-wear lipstick. Watch my video to uncover the secret 😉 . #makeupremoval #bedtimeroutine #skincare #skincareblogger #nighttimeroutine #dubaibeautyblogger #howtotakeoffmakeup #indianbeautyblogger #browngirlskincare #clearskin #clearskinsecrets #naturalskincare #virgincoconutoil #tartemaracujaoil #shiffafasha #foreoluna #sephoramiddleeast #sephora #beautyrituals #beautyritual

Keto Diet: Week 2

I started Week 2 with much enthusiasm after the unprecedented success of Week 1 (I lost 2 kilos in fat, by eating fat! And that too with no rigorous exercise). However, the weight loss has been very slow this week. It’s like my body’s trying to hold on to the good old lard and forcing me to go back to my Nutella smeared bagels.

Keto Diet: Week 1

The buzzword ‘Keto’ caught my fancy quite a few months ago, and I could see the radically positive change it was having on quite a few people in my circle. I was intrigued, yet all the jargon around macros had me in limbo.

A casual chat over a work lunch with my colleague Rasha got us started. We are both Keto newbies and decided to start this journey together.
