Le Petite Wears

First of all, what is Eid Al Fitr? Eid Al Fitr means the celebration of breaking the fast that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Millions of Muslims around the globe gather with their family and relatives for a feast and gift giving. For us, non-Muslims who are working in GCC countries, Eid Al Fitr means looking forward for some days off from work. This will give us the opportunity to have quality time with our family, friends and loved ones like what our Muslim brothers and sisters do. I usually jet off every Eid holiday break but this year, it wasn’t the best choice to do so. (hello, priorities!) This time, I spent it with my family, friends and loved ones here in Doha. I had a long break so as my parents too so we decided to plan a couple of activities to do and one of them was a staycation. For our family’s staycation, we chose the VIP Hotel Doha . VIP Hotel recently opened to the public this year approximately 3 months ago. You can find the hotel in Umm Ghuwailina area w...

Every year, I always look forward to celebrating the holy month of Ramadan in Doha. What excites me the most is the great number of stunning Ramadan Tent pop-ups – that is traditionally found in many Muslim countries! During this time, Doha’s dining scene is always all out to give you the best of your Ramadan experience.  A few weeks ago, I got the privilege to attend Ramadan Ghabga in Al Zomorod Ramadan Tent at St. Regis.

The Al Zomorod Tent is located on the ground floor of the hotel.  Disclaimer: Although I was invited by The St. Regis Doha Hotel, this write-up is meant to be an honest review of my experience. I was not asked by the hotel’s management to post about this and there’s no intention of bragging. All thoughts and opinions are my own.  The tent is overwhelmingly large. As you step in, you will be welcomed by the elegant setting of the tent with sparkling la...

I loooove celebrating my birthday! Be it a small or big celebration, for as long as I'm having fun, I'm thankful. It’s just the perfect time to be selfish and of course, to treat myself a bit. So, I'm really looking forward to do something memorable every time my birthday approaches. It has been almost 3 months since I and Lalabs celebrated our birthday and we are so thankful for all of your birthday wishes. As we grow older, we realized that it’s not the number of friends/invitees that matter anymore but it’s whom we celebrate our birthday with. Not because they don’t matter to us anymore but, as our age slowly adds up, we just want it to be as intimate as possible. This year we’ve both decided to take a time-out from the usual wild birthday celebration *walwalan* or travel – because flying isn’t always feasible. What’s the best alternative for that? A staycation. As far as my mind can remember, this was the very first time that I spent my birthday like this. No party, not...
