Dubai Living Abroad

A Stay at Doubletree Hilton Jumeirah Beach

January 29, 2016March 25, 2016 by Nimi

I decided to stay at the Doubletree Hilton Jumeirah Beach during my last week in Dubai whilst I wrapped up the last portion of my relocation. So, after packing up the belongings I planned to take back to the UK and handing over the keys to my landlord, I found myself sitting in about two …

Finding Scented Candles and Other Fragranced Treats

January 15, 2016January 17, 2016 by Nimi

Creating the right living space and ambience has always been important to me. Perhaps because I’ve moved around so much in my life I need somewhere to feel like home very quickly. No matter where I am, I have scented candles, room fragrances and oil burners everywhere. Walking into a room that reminds me of …

Knit One, Purl Two

January 14, 2016March 27, 2016 by Nimi

I first learned to knit, (the extreme basics) when I was about 10. I think my mother taught me. From her I learned how to cast on and off and purl a stitch. Truthfully, all I could knit were scarves, which I was able to do without dropping a stitch. Fast forward more years than …

A Chinwag With…Amy

January 13, 2016March 25, 2016 by Nimi

As part of my goal to share more content on my blog in 2016, I decided towards the end of last year to create a section dedicated to interviews of up and coming artists, photographers, designers and authors a lot of whom have a strong connection to Ghana in one shape or the other. My …

When Facebook Asked My Sister for Photo ID, She Metaphorically Flipped Them the Bird

January 12, 2016March 27, 2016 by Nimi

I chose to write this post after my sister and Facebook parted way two weeks ago. Despite owning her account for over 10 years, the social media platform decided to, without warning, suspend her account. Why? It would appear because she was using her initials, NC MP, instead of her full name.     My …

Rediscovering Tintin at Somerset House

January 10, 2016March 27, 2016 by Nimi

Just before Christmas my cousin AP and I, after spending most of a chilly and wet day at Southbank strolling through the Winter Market, decided to pop into Somerset House to view the on-going Tintin exhibition. My entire family from my father to my sister, uncle and cousins, were at some point fans of Hergé’s …

Keeping My Tootsies Toasty

January 9, 2016January 6, 2016 by Nimi

My relocation to the UK last year meant that I could spent an excessive amount of time perusing the racks of Primark, something I had been unable to do during my time in Dubai. Oh the joy of visiting one of my favourite shops, not only for their clothes, but homeware too. It’s been like …

Books on My 2016 Reading List

January 7, 2016January 4, 2016 by Nimi

Another of my New Year’s resolutions is to read more. Up until 2012 I was an avid reader. Always was from childhood. But when I moved to Dubai, I found myself reading less novels and more material that came supported with images –  magazines, online articles and graphic novels. There are so many books that …

Me & My Camera

January 5, 2016March 27, 2016 by Nimi

Just before Christmas I injured my back whilst bending down to pick up a piece of paper from the floor (please bend at the knees not the waist!), so my workout sessions have been put on hold for a few weeks whilst my muscles recover. As Christmas is always a period for over indulging in …

January 4, 2016March 27, 2016 by Nimi

Happy New Year everyone! One of my goals for 2016 is to spend a bit more time blogging. The last three weeks have been difficult for me. First, I had an issue with my MacBook (I needed that like a hole in the head), then of course Christmas and New Year meant that I had …
