Multiple health benefits of rooibos tea

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

Caffeine-free tea from South Africa is linked with treatment for diabetes, cancer and heart disease I love alternative healing and detoxing therapies and thanks to some forward thinking individuals and gorgeous nutritionists in the UAE like Hala Barghout, I often get enlightened on what I should be eating and drinking to keep myself fairly healthy. Especially as I have a huge appetite for the good stuff in life, super foods somehow help me keep a balance so that my voluptuous figure doesn’t go totally toxic. I first got introduced to rooibos tea when Eric came home few years ago raving about it … Continue reading Multiple health benefits of rooibos tea

Condense Milk in squeezy pack

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

My colleagues have a love hate relationship with me this week…..and its all because of a delightfully sinful dose of condense milk in a squeezy pack which is enticing them towards more calories. I personally would love to give the person who thought of the squeezy pack idea a super tight squeeze as I love condense milk…afterall Shereen literally means ‘sweet’ in so many languages. As a ‘Shereen’, I also love all things sweet, mainly chocolate but once in a while I have major condense milk or dulce de leche sessions. I love the Cubans as I feel they make … Continue reading Condense Milk in squeezy pack

Inspirational coffee moment with Colm McLoughlin

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

After seeing Colm McLoughlin around town and in the media for over 11 years, I finally had a chance for a delightful chat with the man behind the most successful Duty Free retail venture in the world.

Arriving … Continue reading Inspirational coffee moment with Colm McLoughlin

Artesian Water takes top position

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

A bizarre phone call from a middle aged woman left me smiling today asking what makes FIJI water one of the purest form of water on the planet (I’m getting close to 40 soon so I guess that would make me middle aged too although I like to think 40 is the new 20 and I’m just about to start my life with gusto). Anyway, it was to ask if FIJI water really did keep you looking young and what was the big deal about artesian waters and the obsession by Hollywood stars to bee seen with one. Now I … Continue reading Artesian Water takes top position

Xperia S and Armani moment

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

On my way home from office today I was tempted by Rhazi to check out the new Xperia S smartphone at Armani Hotel, Burj Khalifa. This was his way of convincing the gadget diva why I didn’t need to carry an iphone, a blackberry, an ipad, a MacBook Air +++ in my bag at all times. Naturally I am not one to ignore checking out new stuff and Armani is one of my favourite venues. So while rushing to make it to my bellydancing class, I went to play with Sony’s new toy. (Man that sounds dodgy – I’m glad … Continue reading Xperia S and Armani moment

BIG BOYS TOYS – BETTER THAN BEFORE

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

I have to say that apart from meeting and catching up with His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum (Admire him for his great work with the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre), my biggest fascination at the Big Boys Toys exhibition has to be the multi-million dirham luxury mobile home. Big Boys Toys is the region’s premier lifestyle event and features exclusive products and services for the man who ‘wants it all’. From limited edition super cars to personal aircrafts and luxury products never before seen, the show had essentially all desired items in one ideal location at … Continue reading BIG BOYS TOYS – BETTER THAN BEFORE
