I was first introduced to BlowOut Bar Dubai at the Namshi.com event last month. The lovely ladies had a wee nook to themselves, and were doing a whole lot of creative hair braiding. Given my love for all things bohemian, I patiently stood in queue and got these absolutely stunning braids done.

It was almost heart-breaking having to undo them a day later, and this is when I decided to hunt down BlowOut Bar for myself. 

Hidden in the nook of Shoreline Beach Club 4 in Palm Jumeirah, I wouldn’t have come across @Blend if I wasn’t actively looking for it. This spunky little eatery is all about healthful eating, and caters to a nutrition-hungry niche looking for guidance for the perfect blends and bites.

I’ve always associated fine-dining with The Palm Jumeirah. Driving through on a busy work day, I made a pit-stop at Sophie’s Cafe Dubai and was highly impressed with this casual chic gem of a restaurant tucked away inside the Riva Beach Club.
