I’m a firm believer, that if you want things to change in your life you have to do things out of your comfort zone Coming into my four month working in Dubai, and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be sipping on good rosé, in the highest infinity pool in the world, surrounded by amazing friends 🤍 Time moves quickly, and like many others I often feel guilty or put pressure on myself for not being where I “thought I’d” at my age As much as I need to work on the things i dream of, I don’t want to waste timing wishing I was at a different stage in life instead of savoring the moment We only get one shot in life, live it for you ✨
April you were a whirlwind of emotions… - I got to see old friends I haven’t seen in months 🤍 qatar peeps you are like no other 🙏🏽 - I was invited to explore the wonderful Alula and stay in the most dreamy villa @banyantree alula (thanks to my girl @yezenianavarro ) - I jumped fearlessly out of a plane (thanks to the brilliant @therealbrianrose and Dubai gang) - Treated my dog to the Dubai highlife, fancy hotels, and beach clubs - But also ventured out for a beautiful hike near Oman - Had many a perfect Sundays spent on the yacht, hosted by the most thoughtful friend @mosoliman - Celebrated close friends birthdays in style, so so much love for you both @luciajayfit @kimoa_el - Had the pleasure of shooting for my boss babe @selinpiskiner and the perfect “fake husband” for the day @mikyle_cape So much to be grateful for, it’s the people in my life that truly bring me joy And I’m excited for what May is going to through my way 😍
Some people are naturally morning people (lucky them 😂 ) but the benefits of having a few extra crispy hours in the morning can do WONDERS for your productivity, motivation, and workflow There is a reason why Tim Cook (Apple CEO), J K Rowling, Oprah Winfrey and many more swear by it But here’s my top three … 1 You are most CREATIVE in the morning ✨ It’s as if when your asleep you unconscious mind is producing creative ideas, and when you first wake up they are lingering on the tip of our thoughts Your prefrontal cortex is at its most active state in the morning This is the part of the brain linked to setting long term goals, decision making, planning, and self-control 2 You are more PRODUCTIVE (yes an obvious one but it’s true) Whether you’re working on a side hustle, trying to get fit, or just simple trying to stay on top of life! Having even one extra hour in your day will giving you the upper hand in achieving your desired goals 3 Less STRESSED - It’s proven that only giving your self a short time in the morning to get ready for work, or get the kids ready for school is not the smartest way to start the day Often how we start are day has a big impact on how the rest of our day pans out So whether it’s meditating, writing in your journal, hitting the gym, doing some meal prep, or simply doing something you love (AKA wake surfing @wakesurfdubai ) You start your day with a good mindset and hopefully that will carry on for the rest of your day 🤍 Question is… Are you convinced? 😉

Never let someone’s else doubts in you, be the reason you don’t fight for something you want… If I’m honest with myself, I used to care a lot about what people thought of me I vividly remember wanting to study English Lit for A level, however I was advised against it by my teacher because I am dyslexic Even thought I was super passionate about creative writing ✍️ Her doubt in my capabilities at that time swayed my decision as I thought maybe I wasn’t good enough to get the As that I was looking for Even though I went on to university to study politics, international relations and law, there was always this lingering self doubt because of my dyslexic When you doubt yourself, you don’t end up pursuing your dreams, your mind becomes more consumed with not failing than actually going for your goals This is just a small reminder… you have what it takes to do magical things ✨
I am a firm believer that life is what you make of it 🙏🏽 Many people assume Dubai is all about beach clubs and the party scene 💃 But it has so much more to offer Here are some of my favorite things to do since I moved… - e-foil - wake surf - horse riding - dune buggies - hiking
