Dubai-based. Stays most of the time in the marina as she can't be bothered going anywhere else. Originally from the land of the orang utans, spent the latter half of her life in the land down under. Always on the look out for deals, loves organising get-togethers, and occasionally steals some time for a sip of wine at ladies nights.
Here starts a series of mini reviews, of our Privilee daycations 🙂 We rejoined after they launched the Summer Deal just before Eid – works out to be 100AED a week over 15 weeks – what a bargain! So happy and so excited to be ‘Privilee-ing’ again….. So, we headed to Atlantis The Palm late … More Privilee with Kids – Mini Review : Atlantis The Palm
With temperature hitting mid-40s and humidity on the high (ugh!), we’ve been on the lookout for more indoor restaurants with play areas – now that the littlest one is also full-on mobile. Happy to see that there is yet another new restaurant not too far away from us in the marina – this time at … More Friday Brunch @ BFF Bar, Movenpick Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel Dubai
Whilst we did day trips to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Luss, passing by most days to Balloch and Dumbarton where daddy was at, the highlight of the trip was simply our stay in the Shantron Farm. The kids would be watching the ewes and lambs, we saw calves which were a day old still struggling to stand, … More Scotland : Where we stayed : Shantron Farm Holiday Cottage

I guess that’s what made … More Chez Charles Friday Brunch @ Playa Nomade Dubai
Having spent a week in Sicily in April didn’t stop us from heading over to BiCE for iftar. You could never say no to good italian food. BiCE has been around ever since we moved over here back in 2012, and I’m sure it was around even before that. There’s a reason why restaurants “survive” … More An Italian Iftar @ BiCE Ristorante, Hilton JBR Dubai
Ever missed your flight? Imagine waking up at 5:30am, and waking up a 3 year old and 1 year old. Getting everyone ready, into a taxi, to the airport. Making it to the check-in line, and when asked where you were heading to, the staff simply asks you to join the queue. Get to the … More Travel Lessons Learnt #2 : Why you should always get to the airport early
We’ve never been to the Souk Al Bahar branch when it was there. Have you? How was it? Happy that we finally tried the Mango Tree Thai Bistro, newly opened in The Hilton – situated on Plaza Level JBR just last night with mum. Date night without the munchkins 🙂 Then as we walked in, … More Whoa Wednesday @ Mango Tree Thai Bistro JBR
It’s nice when a restaurant is consistent – that’s what I felt from our afternoon tea visit at The Address Boulevard yesterday. We tried the ‘Art Crafted Afternoon Tea’ almost two years ago now (click here) – and returned to review the Chocolate Afternoon Tea. Spent an entire afternoon with mum and the girls. Made … More Chocolate Afternoon Tea @ Address Boulevard Dubai
