Smoking Doll is……SMOKING!
Currently ranked as my number #1 favorite Asian fusion restaurant in Abu Dhabi the Smoking Doll is a definite MUST TRY on the restaurant scene.

Meet the world-famous gold cappuccino which is served at one of the most beautiful hotels on earth. The Emirates Palace is known as going well beyond 5 stars this luxury hotel sits directly on the beach and is a very popular tourist destination.

Frequented by the ultra wealthy, I always feel like such a pauper when I visit this place until I get my gold stache on and then all insecurity goes out the window and I become an Arabian princess just hanging out drinking my gold flaked joe. The Emirates Palace and the gold cappuccino are definitely on the bucket list for most travelers. Continue reading “A Cup of Gold”

I will admit that I have never seen the movie Legally Blonde. Shame on me – I know.
I will also admit that I usually prefer the musicals to the movies or the books from which they were adapted. I guess I am just a musical kind of girl. What I like is the energy that comes from a group of citizens coming together to produce, perform and attend a community musical – and, well, there’s just something magical that happens.
