Life
The weekend in Dubai is a sacred time to unwind, recharge, and indulge in the little joys that make life sweeter – whether it’s savoring a comforting meal by the water, catching up on the latest binge-worthy series, or treating yourself to a much-needed beauty refresh.
For the Emirates Woman team, these precious days off are all about balancing relaxation with self-care, good food, and personal rituals that leave us feeling polished and inspired for the week ahead. From lash tints that elevate a no-makeup look to nourishing hair treatments in serene salons to lo, here’s a glimpse into how we’re spending our downtime – along with the beauty picks we swear by for that effortless glow.

My weekends are usually reserved for personal development, so I love to listen to podcasts and read. I’m currently reading How to Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell which is great. I’ll also be visiting BROWZ for lash tint, I prefer to keep things minimal beauty wise so this is great so you still feel polished without make-up.
Restaurant pick: Kokoro is my new favorite, a toro handroll is a weekend must!

I’m treating my hair to a well-deserved nourishing treatment at Twice Salon this weekend. It’s a two-floor salon in Downtown Boulevard with chic interiors and minimalistic colour palette that’s just entices you to relax – can’t wait!
Skincare Pick: I have recently added this tinted moisturizer from Hourglass in my makeup kit. It goes on very light on the skin for that no-makeup makeup look, gives you a subtle sheen, and does not break me out – a winner!
Check it out here.

This weekend, I’ll be working on my fitness routine and going for a Pilates Studio at The LOB and then trying the new Japanese restaurant Kiyoshi at Dubai Creek Harbour.
Beauty picks: I enjoy the Summer Friday’s ShadeDrops Mineral Milk Sunscreen, check it out here. I also love the Kosas concealer from Sephora – it’s super easy to use and light to carry around especially when I’m on the go.

This weekend, I’ll be dining at my comfort food place Wokyo in Al Seef with delicious ramen and beautiful views of the Dubai creek with boats passing by, and catch up on the newly released series You.
