"people float in and out of your life like the knowing maws of a rocking tide. some will be omens. when they come to you it is because you both have something to learn from one another. when they come to you, know them, trust them, listen. be open and submissive. for a fleeting moment in time you have crashed inside of one another. your journeys will collide, enmesh and widen like a never-ending labyrinth. there will be no map and no coordinates just instinct. and when the time comes you will meet them again on your way to the middle."

 - shannon may powell

walk tall, kick ass, learn to speak arabic, love music and never forget you come from a long line of truth seekers, lovers and warriors.”

LISTEN TO ME: a$ap rocky ft. florence welch - i come apart

so we could take it slow
separate the highs from the lows
separate the evens from the odds
i just hope you put me back together when i come apart

be less acidic, more alkaline aka just be healthy


i recently found out that my pH balance is completely off and i'm basically a walking mass of acid. i attribute this to the high amounts of dr. pepper, mini m&ms and zaatar w zeit "manakeesh's" i decided should become a staple in my diet. hitting the candy kiosk was a standard part of my mall errands. then again, i don't know who says no to butterfinger bites.

i'm on my second week of healthy eating and am not the biggest fan... yet, but i am feeling much better! there's something about eating healthy that makes you want to reach your highest potential in your lifestyle. of course there's meant to be room to live, and what more satisfying way to do so than good food and yummy drinks. however, the general gist is to enjoy healthy eating for at least the majority of your meals. in any case, it's about a balance. all i know is i severely neglected myself the last 4 months and i definitely felt the side effects. right now there's nothing better than feeling in control of my lifestyle and feeling more energetic by eating well and working out . click here to find out what's alkaline vs acidic. don't freak out and revert to the comfort of facebook just because it seems almost impossible and you need something less dreary on the eyes. as boring as the list looks, there are some delicious meals that can be mustered up. be creative. make better choices this year.

LISTEN TO ME: bastille - pompeii

but if you close your eyes,
does it almost feel like 
nothing changed at all.

coming soon!!

it's been a while, i hope you're all well!

if you've been wondering where to get your cup o' joe from (it's never an easy decision with a cafe on every corner) make sure you come to THE MAGAZINE SHOP, opening date to be confirmed. i've been in hiding the past couple months because i started a new job with brownbook (yay), which has taken over most of my time. i will be sure to start giving more love to my readers who i really hope haven't lost interest :( i'll stay optimistic and keep writing till i win you back either way. 

quick points: 
- our coffee is sourced from one of the best suppliers in town, raw coffee.
- if you wanna come hang out i'll make your coffee with love (note: please do not equate the taste with the amount of love, i'm a beginner)
- coffee making is NOT easy. if you're a professional barista i truly look up to you.
- don't expect anything but an awkward heart as my coffee art. feel free to tell me you like it though.
- the tumblr will soon be up so stay tuned.
- location is in gate village at the DIFC next to building #8. 
- come say hi :)

lots of love,
xx may
