Welcome to the next installment of my Discworld adventure… Earlier installments: Books 1-4, Books 5-10 Reaper Man: Discworld #11 So, if you’ve been reading my Discworld series of posts, you will know Death is my favourite character.

I visited New York, Boston and Washington DC for the first time through March-April 2016, and here’s a few things I picked up during my two weeks there – if you haven’t been before, hopefully this might help! Before I forget: if you’re interested in purchasing a mobile SIM while you’re there, I bought a T-Mobile SIM… Continue reading Travel tips: New York
Welcome to the next installment of my Discworld adventure… Sourcery: Discworld #5 The third Rincewind. Not the biggest fan of him, though he’s slightly growing on me. In this book, the eighth son of the eighth son of an eighth son has arrived. He’s a sourcerer. And he’s out to wreak a little havoc on… Continue reading #Reading Discworld books 5-10
In the last few weeks, I’ve come across two movie trailers, where the main protagonist is autistic. I’m always curious to see how people with autism spectrum disorders are portrayed in the cinema. So I’ll definitely try and watch them. I’ll post reviews if I get to see them! Here are the trailers, let me… Continue reading Some autism movies on my to-watch list

People who know me very well will know I can’t really be bothered with make-up, or manicures, and so on. But with a three week-long holiday upon me, including a full-blown Indian wedding and then Christmas, I decided to take the plunge and try this long-lasting nail polish thingybob I’d heard about. I was told… Continue reading Thoughts on getting fancy schmancy nails done
On December 13, 2014, I stumbled across a little pop-up market at DUCTAC, Mall of the Emirates. I’d just gone there to return books to my library (it’s called The Old Library, if anyone’s interested, and it’s fabulous). While I browsed the stands, this one caught my eye. Books – an easy way to get… Continue reading Stationery I love: Surat Journals, your little blank book

I’ve loved Lush for a while now. I can’t remember when I first discovered the gorgeous smells the company produces, but I was instantly hooked. Recently, I wandered over to the Lush Christmas event in Dubai, and boy, was that literally a feast for the senses! New products, new colours and beautiful gift boxes everywhere.… Continue reading Lush’s 12 Days of Christmas
