En route to Europe, I stopped over for a few days in Dubai, where as you might know, Ms Lather Rinse Repeat has recently relocated. As well as putting me up for a few nights, she pointed me in the direction of Dubai’s mega malls, which are conveniently accessible by metro. I tried hard not to haul too much, but …
Hello, brand spanking new year! It’s that time again: Resolution Time. No doubt you’ve been seeing resolutions flying back and forth everywhere too, possibly along with the discouraging statistic that 88% of all New Year’s resolutions fail. However, people who consciously set resolutions were found to be 10 times more likely to make changes they want in their lives than …
I’ve been keeping this secret for ages now, so I’m crazy excited to be able to reveal it now – I was chosen for a piCture pOlish collaboration shade all the way back in July 2012, right after Blog Fest!

It feels wrong to lay into a senior citizen of a film from contemporary perspectives, so let’s quickly breeze through a few obvious points that I largely covered last week in my grumpy Jasmine rant: – Hot …
