khor dubai wildlife sanctuary 💛we visited khor dubai wildlife sanctuary. although it nice to see flamingos in free roaming, don't visit the park when there is sand storm outside, hard to keep your eyes open.

dubai is not my city

dubai is not my city

i’m back. so dubai. i didn’t love it. dubai is not my city.

☀️first of all, may is already way too hot there. it makes walking around at day horrible, you move around from one shadow to the next one. i also caught cold, because going from hot weather to aircondicionered rooms with strong cold breeze. as i predicted, most of the stuff was unnecessary luxury things. most buildings are less than 50…

my body hair

my aunt is taking me with her kids to dubai in 3 days(haven’t even started packing). that’s awesome, because it’s so warm there☀️

for me that means i need to get off my winter fur. don’t get me wrong, i don’t think you have to dispose of your body hair, but i like to be smooth if my skin is out in sun. rest of the year i don’t bother.

in my life i never was a fan of shaving and this is how i get…

zero waste potato crisps

zero waste potato crisps

when we were at aunt’s house we made potato crisps. it’s a big problem for us, we love crisps, but unless you make your own you can’t buy those zero waste. we try to avoid crisps with palm oil and buy organic crisps when available, but it still creates a lot of waste(we can’t even recycle the packaging)🥔 all you need – potatoes oil salt pepper preheat oven to around 205°C. clean and peel the…

wasteful diageo bar academy

wasteful diageo bar academy

at work i was offered free bartender training. me and my colleague decided to go. so this first of all this diageo bar academy training was kind of useless information wise, maybe it could be useful for someone who has never stepped in a bar. but the story isn’t about that.. 🍸so this free training is two days and like 8hours each day. i only went to first day, at the start we sat through guy…

so i went back and forth should i write about this or not in my head for a while and i’m still not sure i should, because i’m kind of emotional about this… but here we go. like i said before, i work in a bar and this bar is cool, but not really into eco thinking. 🌏and me being me, i try to make my surrounding greener, but it’s hard. most of my colleagues and managers make fun of me for it.…

international strawfree day

i don’t put straws in drinks when i work in bar any day, but just the reminder to me and others to refuse the straw in advance when you order. like a week ago, i went with my friend to this super nice vegan cafe and ordered a juice. when they where bringing it to the table i saw a straw, i felt so horrible for a second, but it was a metal straw! i felt such a relief, so weird and calming. 🌏in my…
