      Everything You Need To Move Your WFH Days Onto the Patio

      by

But, sometimes, the spaces we find ourselves in for day-to-day tasks make it hard to separate work and relaxation. It’s easy to fall into the habit of working from your comfortable couch or bedroom, but these spaces do not do your productivity any justice and can deter you from your best work. Being inside all day can also have detrimental effects and can stop you from getting your necessary daily dose of Vitamin D.

      Which Bridgerton character are you? Let your zodiac sign decide

      by

      Life

      by Ruman Baig
      3 hours ago

      Ah, Bridgerton. The Netflix phenomenon that swept us all away to a world of extravagant balls, glittering gowns, and gossip sharper than Queen Charlotte’s wit. 

      via GIPHY

      Bridgerton beyond the boisterous romance

      via GIPHY

      But beneath the romance and social climbing, there’s a surprising depth to these characters, inspired by Julia Quinn’s witty and beloved novels. From the formidable Bridgerton matriarch, Violet, to the enigmatic Lady Danbury, each personality brings a delicious flavor to the Regency pot. So, which Bridgerton character most resembles your own inner debutante (or, ahem, rake)? Let the celestial tea leaves unfurl and reveal your social season destiny.
      The Brigerton world woven by Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes

      Now, before we delve into the astrological dance, a brief history lesson for the uninitiated. Bridgerton takes us on a whirlwind tour of Regency London’s high society, a world obsessed with appearances, reputation, and of course, the perfect marriage match. Quinn’s novels, brimming with social commentary and a dash of scandal, breathe life into these characters, making them far more than just corseted caricatures. We see ambition simmer beneath polite smiles, love blossom in unexpected places, and the unyielding strength of family ties.

      Alright, enough with the pleasantries, on to the real question: who are you in this grand Regency drama? Buckle up,because we’re about to unleash your inner Bridgerton based on the stars!

      Society’s darling! Or perhaps a wallflower yearning for a scandalous twist? Dear reader, wonder no more! The stars, much like Lady Whistledown herself, hold the secrets to your Bridgertonian identity.
      Delve into the following to discover which captivating character from the ton perfectly embodies your zodiac sign:

      So there you have it, dear reader! The stars have spoken, and the carriage awaits to whisk you away to your perfect Bridgertonian social season. Remember, whether you’re a diamond of the first water or a charming rogue, embrace your inner Bridgerton character – after all, a bit of scandal never hurt anyone (except maybe Marina Thompson, but that’s a story for another day).

      Here are some tips to help you beat the Dubai heat and stay cool:
      1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

      This one can’t be stressed enough. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water, coconut water, or diluted fruit juices. Carry a reusable water bottle and refill it frequently.
      2. Seek Shade and Limit Sun Exposure

      The sun is at its strongest between 11 am and 4 pm. During this time, stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces or seek shade outdoors. Plan outdoor activities for early mornings or evenings when the temperatures are cooler.
      3. Dress for the Heat

      Wear loose, lightweight, and breathable clothing made from natural fibers like cotton or linen. Opt for light-colored clothing that reflects sunlight. Protect your head with a hat and wear sunglasses to shield your eyes from UV rays.
      4. Cool Down Regularly
      Take refreshing showers or baths throughout the day. Cool down your wrists and ankles with cold compresses or wet towels. Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day.
      Bonus Tip:
      Malls: Dubai boasts some of the world’s most extravagant malls, like the Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates. They offer air-conditioned shopping, entertainment options like arcades and aquariums, and even indoor ski slopes.
      Museums: Immerse yourself in culture at the Dubai Museum, Etihad Museum, or explore the world of illusions at the Illusion Museum.Art Galleries: Discover local and international art at galleries like Salsali Private Museum or Alserkal Avenue.
      Water Parks: Cool down with thrilling rides and refreshing water features at Wild Wadi Water Park or Aquaventure Waterpark.Cinemas: Catch the latest blockbusters in luxurious comfort at IMAX cinemas or enjoy traditional Arabic movies at Novo Cinemas.
      By following these simple tips, you can beat the Dubai heat and stay healthy throughout the week. Remember, even if you’re acclimated to the climate, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Stay cool and enjoy the summer in Dubai.
