De·hipsterify·ing Cold Brew
I have a thing for coffee. Slowly and steadily I have become more enthusiastic (and annoying) about it. So I thought I’d stay true (and annoying) and share this with you :] About a year or so ago, I discovered cold brew coffee. Up until then, I thought all cold coffee drinks were brewed with …

Remember these? Before digital photography, we had film and film negatives from which we got our prints.

Spartan Race RECAP
Don’t know if you’ve heard about Spartan Races, but they are basically a strenuous test to the contestants’ physical endurance and strength. This past 20th of February, the first Spartan Race in Dubai took place at the Jebel Ali Race Course – and if the 5km sprint race with obstacles wasn’t enough challenge already, a …
Closing 2014 with a SMASH
Now that the year is about to end and we start looking back while trying to assimilate how incredibly fast 2014 has gone by, I can officially say that it has truly been a great year overall. Lots of experiences to learn from and lots of things learned, and definitely lots of laughs, for which …
