Review: Jumeirah Messilah Beach
22 May
Yesterday we were invited to have alook inside the new Jumeirah Messilah Beach. Everyone was eager to see what we have been long waiting for to open, and now it’s here, and it’s really something! Too bad Cheeky wasn’t here (she left 2 days back to Dubai) though she would have liked the tour :)
I was greeted by the generous team of Jumeirah who took us around the place. Everyone was nice and sweet, so before I go on, just wanted to say thank you!
The tour included the following: Lobby, Executive Rooms, Residential Apartments, Wedding and events ballrooms, Bridal Suite, Restaurants, and the amazing pool and beach. It will take me forever to tell you details about what I have seen, and am not sure it would be easy to describe to begin with, but I will be letting you know my opinion in general, and you can see all the pictures below.
Overall Look & Feel:
Exotic! This is the feeling that i got from the whole place (excluding the rooms). The whole atmosphere, luxurious space, big pieces of artistic statues everywhere, ceiling and floors, all gave me that kind of feeling.
Rooms and Suites:
Just like any other 5 stars hotel, you expect something and that’s what you get, nothing more, nothing less. However, I haven’t stayed in the hotel and got to experience it, so it maybe different once you live in it, but from what I have seen, nothing caught my attention except probably the extra space. The only thing that I really liked was the front door camera, where you get to see whose knocking at your door through your tv, that’s cool :P
Wedding and Events ballrooms:
These were definitely spacious, crazy spacious! Amazing ceiling, decoration details and with a private door leading towards it, so if you have an event, you wouldn’t have to walk through the lobby to reach it. A cool idea is that they have a bridal suite (only for the bride) to celebrate with her family and friends before the wedding. Big spacious suite with one bed only :P so you party and leave :P I loved the idea, however it felt really big but not cozy at all!
Restaurants:
It would be difficult to judge based on walking through them only! but I liked the atmosphere of each, different styles and felt unique. Will definitely visit again and give some of them a try.
The Pool & Beach Area:
Now this is where ALL the luxury is! Amazing decoration, huge pools, kids area, humongous fish statue in the middle with a fountain, bar inside the pool, i mean what can I say, I absolutely loved it, will be definitely visiting VERY soon and get to experience it. We had dinner outside (though the weather was bad) but it was kinda worth it.
My thoughts? I HAVE to visit again, maybe spend a weekend to really get the experience of this great place. Thanks again for the invite guys, keep up the good work :)
Oldies: Montell Jordan – This is How We Do It
4 May
I have a library of more than 2.000 old and new songs. Every now and then I like to delete some songs that I regret having, or actually turned annoying after a while, and while am doing that, I come across some oldies that I highly enjoy listening to! Today it was this song!
The 90s song had a huge impact on me, I was so into music back then, I used to listen to the radio all the time, record new songs, write lyrics and could spend hours just doing that and never get bored!! Buying a new cassette used to get me very happy that you have no idea.
What surprises me is that almost 90% of those songs got stuck in my head till this day! I mean I still remember most of the lyrics and whenever I hear them I start remembering the times where I used to hear those songs! isn’t it weird? we barely remember what we had for lunch yesterday and still we remember lyrics of some old songs!
Enjoy the music :) hit me back with some forgotten 90s music that you remember.
why are women so hard on themselves?
18 Aprsome women, are so hard on themselves – it is really quite sad.. beautiful, stunning women – selling themselves short and not realising their own self-worth..
i am sure everyone goes through this at some point – but why? why are we never satisfied with who we are inside and out…
and if we aren’t – are we ever truly happy?
Dove has done it again – check out this video – its a real eye opener… very very touching – thank you Dove – for capturing how women tend to underappreciate themselves

Event: NBK Walkathon & Competition!
21 Mar
For the 19th year (wow..thats along time ago!), NBK is hosting their annual Walkathon that takes place on the gulf road. It amazes me every year of the amount of people and the different ages that actually participate! It’s a very fun day that brings joy to everyone, and whats better than being healthy!
I have participated for 4 years in a row, then I stopped, its like every time something comes up that stops me from going, but it shouldnt stop YOU! go on and have a blast with your family and friends.
This year NBK is doing something a bit different, not only you will be walking supporting your OWN cause, but you can also win Galaxy Camera by taking a picture of the walkathon. The best 3 pictures will win the Galaxy camera, now that’s pretty cool ;)
