Honeymoon Romance, Weddings & Adventures at the Fairmont Montreux, Switzerland Every now and then we get an offer that is simply too good to refuse, and this one just so happened to coincide with my 35th birthday last February. As part of their drive to promote the Fairmont Switzerland to UAE residents, not only for holidays, but also for honeymoons and destination weddings, we were invited to experience the second to non-Swiss hospitality at one…

Zaya Nurai Island | Anniversary Staycation & Wedding Tour In November last year, I had the privilege of escaping to one of the prettiest islands I have visited yet: Zaya Nurai, recently voted most incredible private island by Condenast Traveller UK. The occasion? Celebrating my second ‘wedding blessing’ anniversary with the hubby, and combining that with some much needed ‘us’ time after a traumatic previous month (click here). I’d heard about Zaya Nurai in passing and…

Kaya Clinic Ultima Laser Hair Removal I have a confession; I am a hairy woman! There, I said it. I know many women also suffer from excessive hair and whilst some women embrace their whiskers, I am personally one who does not.  Don’t get me wrong, I am not a clinic’s worst candidate, but it’s a big enough issue that has seen me plucking, tweezing and threading at my face for most of my adult…

Review: Hen party pampering & Afternoon Tea  A few months ago, I hooked up with my girl Rania over at the Blush Diaries to collaborate on a shoot/review. The concept?

Dance For You Review I’m the first to admit that I’m not much of a dancer. Well, not in the traditional sense anyway. When I met my husband, he used to joke about how I was always completely happy dancing by myself, in my own little world, but terrible any time it came to dancing with him. Fast forward to our wedding earlier this year, and his comments took on a whole new meaning. Knowing that…

Courtyard by Marriott Dubai I’ve always had a soft spot for the Courtyard by Marriott Dubai Green Community. Two years ago, my husband and I missed seeing the Burj Khalifa fireworks due to traffic, and, with no plans and everywhere jam-packed, we found ourselves partying with Green Community residents and holidaymakers at the Courtyard by Marriott Dubai. Fast forward three years, and we were back there again, this time checking out their wedding facilities. Here, I review our…
