Wagamama launched Kaizen concept in Qatar, which is a Japanese word for ‘Good Change’. As someone who is pretty loyal to their fried chicken katsu dish, I was reluctant to this change, but sometimes, change can be good. In this instance, if change means improvement in dishes and services, I’m all on board. Intrigued about […]

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love everything about it from putting up the Christmas tree, baking treats, to gift giving. I especially love finding a special gift for my friends and family and giving them something that they normally wouldn’t think about getting themselves. I also like to give gifts that […]

Can women really do it all and have it all? I tried and failed. But it’s with failing that I’ve gained clear focus on what I want to do and who I want to become. I don’t want to do it all and I don’t want to have it all. Before becoming a mom, I […]

I love reading articles online or in a magazine that talks about makeup and beauty products. I’m pretty nosy about what other people use, especially from beauty editors. Beauty editors to me are like doctors, they always get asked to diagnose skin concerns and for their product recommendations. I’m one of those people. In my […]

There was a slight shift to my personal style since I’ve become a mom. I live in denim day in and day out. I still love the feeling of getting dolled up every once in a while but the only difference is that, now I won’t compromise comfort over style. Comfort for me is feeling […]

I started following her pregnancy journey on the blog and felt really connected […]

I didn’t feel an immediate bond when Naomi was born and I was ashamed to admit it to anyone. How could I not when everyone talks about this all consuming rush of love a mom feels the moment she holds her baby. My birth happened so fast that it left me feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Anthony handed […]

Naomi started going to the nursery twice a week last week. We walk her to her nursery and drop her off by 7am. It’s still too early for anything to be open, so breakfast at a restaurant is not even an option (this is a PSA to Jones the Grocer to please open at 7am). […]

The UCI Road World Championships caused quite a stir among The Pearl-Qatar residents particularly when it was announced that the roads are being blocked for an extended period of time over the course of nine days. It caused us a bit of panic at first and thoughts like ‘What if there’s an emergency and we […]

First of all, let me just say that it’s good to be blogging again. I took the time I need to be with my new family and care for my little cutie (who is 6 months this week). Being in Montreal though really inspired me to get on board the blogging train again. What I […]
