Real Talk: How I’m Beating the Holiday Blues

I seriously can’t believe the holiday season is already here! Lately I find myself looking at Minnie thinking, where did the time go?! This time last year I was counting down the final weeks of my pregnancy, and now I get to watch this amazing little human learn to walk, talk and grow alongside her brother who loves her dearly.

We’re currently in the midst of doing some renovations at home and planning Minnie’s first birthday party, so everything is super busy as usual, but life is good.

Every year when the holidays roll around though, I find myself in a bit of a funk. I don’t know if it’s just burn out from general work and life, but I definitely have to make extra effort to stay in a positive head space this time of year.

Something that helps keep my mood in check is writing out a gratitude list, expressing who and what I’m grateful for. This year I wanted to share my list, in hopes of inspiring you to create your own, if you’re feeling any holiday blues.

Here are 5 things I’m grateful for:

Chic Stay: Corinthia Hotel Budapest

Ideal for… a grand stay in Budapest (it has been said Director, Wes Anderson was inspired by the hotel for the movie – The Grand Budapest Hotel) What: Corinthia Hotel, Budapest The Rooms: Spacious, quite modern compared to the exteriors – but space in Europe definitely feels like the ultimate luxury. I stayed in a junior suite, which was lovely – interior was – it was quite simple, but the wow factor goes to the gorgeous walk in closet I had. The Toilets: Corinthia Hotels use ESPA products, and the Budapest one was no different. The Breakfast: Even though I had the option of the breakfast in the lobby, as well as the lounge – I opted for room service on all the days due to the early starts. One thing the Hungarian do really well is their homemade butter, so the pastry basket was on point. The Food (restaurants & bars): -Sky Lounge with a view -Rickshaw (asian) -Caviar & Bull (order their beef tartare and their homemade truffle butt...

Restaurant Review: Enigma, Dubai

Ideal for… an authentic culinary concept Restaurant name and location: Enigma restaurant, Palazzo Versace Hotel Cuisine: Persian Atmosphere: Quiet, and attracts hotel guests. What they say: Enigma restaurant’s culinary tale continues to evolve as it features the ‘Taste of Persia’. Inspired by the Iranian origins of our Michelin starred Executive Chef Mansour Memarian, it is the most authentic culinary story to grace the kitchens of Enigma. What to order: -Beetroot salad (fresh – and a lovely light starter) -Masto Khiar wa Naana (yoghurt, cucumbers and mint – but they also have a large range of yogurt options) -Kabab Kubide (super flavorful – my favorite kabab) Service: Islam, our server was super sweet and knowledgeable What I loved: -The cheese they offer with bread and vegetables is made in house – delicious and one of the best I’ve had in a while. -Concept changes every 3 months – at the moment it’s Persian food -If you’re a fan of...

Design Pick: LG Signature Refrigerator

I live for food. I’m obsessed with finding the best restaurants around the world to indulge in, but I also care about what goes into my body and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. With the LG SIGNATURE refrigerator, my culinary experience at home is taken to a new level. InstaView Door-in-Door is a feature unlike any other. A sleek mirror glass panel on the face of the fridge does more than provide aesthetics. With two simple knocks on the panel, it illuminates like something out of a space age movie and showcases the contents of your fridge. This feature reduces cold air loss and keeps food fresher for longer. One of my favorite elements is Auto Open-Door technology which, as you can probably guess, enables the refrigerator door to be opened without lifting a finger. Not to worry… It won’t simply open unannounced, the InstaView features a smart sensor detector, conveniently located by the foot of the fridge. A light projection on the floor reads ‘Door Open’. Gently stepping on it...
