Vitamin Sea just makes me happy. After ages, we went to a beach that wasn’t very crowded. Just feeling the breeze was a mood booster. And then, back home in the evening, Christmas cheer was all around us.

Hope that you guys are able to take time off to rest, reflect and rejuvenate as the year comes to an end.

Miracle Garden, Dubai is truly a miracle. An extravagant display of flowers, right in the middle of the desert. It shows what humans can do, when they put their mind to it.
.
I visited it exactly two years from today. My phone reminded me and I used Apple Intelligence to make this memory reel.
.
This is #GenerativeAI right in your phone, without using a third party tool. I love it! Have you used it?

Diwali this year… Thankful for the blessings…

Mandatory Diwali poses, bling for the home and for me, prayers and lights…

This #karwachauth I wore my engagement saree. It is a heavily embroidered number. So I wished to keep everything else simple. But once I started to get ready, just kept adding one thing after another and this is the final look. Lots of bangles and bling. The makeup is minimal though.
.
Blessed to have had a day of rest and relaxation with the family. Then girlie time with some new friends and old.
.
Today, I am counting my blessings.

I said No today. To someone close, to someone I treat with respect, to someone I make allowances for. And today, I thought the ask was unwarranted. So I did something I don’t normally do. I said No. I did not justify or explain. I just said, I can’t do it.
.
Later, I began to feel bad. I was already making excuses for someone else’s behavior. And then, I caught myself. Maybe it is the people pleaser side of me, maybe it is the societal conditioning to say Yes. Maybe it is both.
.
It was a big deal for me. I defined a boundary today. And it is okay. I need to make my peace with it. There may be more of you out there. In the same headspace. Don’t blame yourselves.
.
It is okay to say No when you feel the ask is not justified.

If this is what the future looks like, I am not sure I like it.

Museum of the future was a little bit of a disappointment, to be honest.

But the makeup game was on point… check out the last slide!

My go to makeup look lately. My eyes are dry and irritated so nothing on the eyes. Not even kajal which has been my go to product since early 2000s!

A sheer coverage glowy foundation. In this pic, I am using the Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation. I love how easy to apply it is and lasts all day. It hydrates my skin and does not oxidize on me. A winner by @sephoramiddleeast . In my 40s, my go to full coverage mattifying foundation no longer works. My skin used to be really oily in my 20s and 30s, so I could never pull this off. Also, glowing skin is trending so Matte looks dated.

I am going through a muted lip phase. Most of my current lip colours are variations of peach, pinky brown, mauve etc. Here I am wearing @maybellinearabia Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink in Peachy.

I have loads of blush on. Something new I do these days . It helps add colour to my skin. Here I am wearing my trusted Lilas D’Or by Bourjois. My favourite blush since 2010! @bourjoismiddleeast
