Calling all Brides to be

-
When I got invited to Bride Dubai, my first thought was that it will be catered to brides having the 'White Wedding gown' type of wedding. Being an Indian Hindu I had my reservations going there. For those who don't know, we don't wear white wedding gowns in Hindu weddings, the traditional colour is red, mixed with gold, silver, pastels, pink, peaches, blue and even green. I remember telling that to an Arab friend, her response was "you are too brown to wear red, it won't suit you." So much for cultural respect and understanding, and not being racist!

Coming back to Bride Dubai currently taking place at the World Trade Centre, I was surprised to find a small yet significant section dedicated to Indian wedding displays which included a number of fashion designers from Delhi, and jewellery designers including the famous Indian designer Queenie Dhody who was personally present at her booth.  

The arena also boasted of a number of chocolate and cake makers, hotels, make-up artists, photographers, travel agents, giving honeymoon destination ideas, gift registry booths and decorates presenting the best they have to offer in flower and table arrangements.
So if you are a Bride to be, with Aed 25 a ticket, there is no harm to check out the exhibit. Below are some of the pieces that caught my eye.

Hair washing and blow drying aren’t the only culprits behind those stray hairs in the sink; breakage can lead to excessive hair loss in damaged hair.

Hair will then grow long and strong again, boasting its usual natural shine and manageable texture.  The Science The new Syoss Anti-Hair Fall* Fiber Resist 95 strengthens the hair from root to tip. It does this with help from a phyto stem cell extract derived from botanical stem cells, which stimulates the hair’s energy metabolism in the roots where the hair grows.

Food Review - Circle Café

Circle Café has proudly joined the re-invention club and launched a new menu recently and I'm going to give you a low down on how well they scored. Tucked away into the quite Business Bay square in downtown Dubai, Circle Café is a cosy hidden gem. The simple and elegant interiors give a very relaxed home feel which makes the food more enjoyable. Let's get down to business then..First up were the Bagel chips. As the name suggests they were thinly sliced baked Bagel chips served with a Tarama Truffle dip. From the first bite I knew this dish was going to be in my top three for the night. They were so crisp and light that I couldn't stop munching. The zatar type seasoning gave it the perfect amount of subtle flavour. For those with a preference for stronger taste, the dipping sauce gives it a unexpected punch which grows on you with every bite. Next was the Whole Wheat Salmon Pasta followed by the Circle Greek Salad, both of which are healthy options but low on the seas

Food Review - Carluccio's and Bloomsbury Review

 The Dubai Mall has numerous hidden gems and every time I go there I stumble upon something new. A little pop up shop or cafe situated in some corner of the mall can always surprise. The places I tried this week aren't very hidden, but this was the first time I tried them. I did come across a new home store where I've never been before, but today we'll stick to Carluccio's and Bloomsbury. Carluccio's as the name suggest is Italian. You have two seating options, one facing the fountain and the other facing the mall (see image below). The service was friendly and quick considering the fact that it was a Thursday. We ordered two pizzas, a pasta and a salad. The margarita was thin crust, soft, chewy and pretty good. They did not have any options in chicken pizza's so we ordered for grilled chicken topping with our pizza., the result chicken strips on top of the same Margarita pizza. It din't taste bad, cause it still taste the same with just chicken on to
