Although Halloween is not widely celebrated here in Doha, I don’t pass on the chance to gobble on Halloween candies (candy corn and Reese’s Pieces are my weakness) and make a special spooky cocktails.

The bright pigment makes any home very modern even when juxtaposed with vintage home design. Here I’ve put together design inspirations on how to [...]

Kale is a rare commodity in Doha that when you see some in the supermarket, you buy right away and figure out what to do with them later on. That was the case last weekend when trying to figure out a kale recipe other than kale chips. Since it was my ‘carb’ day, I naturally [...]
