      Virgos are known for their practicality, attention to detail, and love for organisation.
      When choosing a gift for a Virgo, consider something that aligns with their interests and personality traits.
      What are Virgo traits?
      A Virgo is a person born between August 23 to September 22, 2024. Virgos are known for being practical, sensible, and loyal. They make excellent friends and partners. Virgos are known for being perfectionists, and can be meticulous and single-minded in their pursuit of improvement. They have extremely high standards, none more so than for themselves, and they obsess over everything. They are fantastic detail-people, love organising stuff, and can be relied on to make everything go smoothly.
      Planners
      Virgos love staying organized. A high-quality planner or journal, especially one that’s personalized, can be a thoughtful and practical gift.
      Books
      If they enjoy reading, consider a book that aligns with their interests. Virgos often appreciate self-improvement, health, or non-fiction books.
      Stationery Set
      A beautifully designed stationery set with pens, notebooks, and other accessories can appeal to a Virgo’s love for order and writing.
      DIY Kits
      Virgos enjoy hands-on projects. A DIY kit, such as for crafting, gardening, or cooking, could be an enjoyable and fulfilling gift.
      Self-care products
      High-quality, natural skincare products or a spa day can appeal to a Virgo’s love for health and self-care.
      Organisational Tools
      Items like storage containers, drawer organizers, or a stylish yet functional desk organizer can help them keep their space tidy and organized.
      Quality Clothing or Accessories
      Virgos tend to appreciate classic, well-made clothing or accessories. A stylish scarf, leather wallet, or minimalist jewelry can be perfect.
      Houseplants
      If they enjoy plants, a low-maintenance houseplant, such as a succulent or peace lily, can bring a touch of nature into their home.
      Health and Wellness Items
      A fitness tracker, yoga mat, or subscription to a wellness app can resonate with their interest in health
      So to help you ease from the scrolling, Emirates Woman has curated a guide of all the gifts to purchase for the Virgo in your life.

      As summer is here and it’s time to travel, we’ve paid a tribute His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s interest in seeing the world by highlighting all his adventurous escapades.
      From mountainous regions to adrenaline-fuelled spots, Fazza’s travels around the world exude his passion for exploration and adventure.
      After digging through the archives, Emirates Woman has curated a list of all the potential places to add to your bucket list from Sheikh Hamdan’s feed.
      United Kingdom

      Sheikh Hamdan has been seen in London quite a few times over the years and even recently made a visit with his twins, Rashid and Shaika, to the Godolphin stables. Having previously studied at Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Fazza has a strong connection to the UK and is often seen taking a trip to one of his favourite destinations.
      Tanzania

      Exploring both nature and immersing himself in the culture, Sheikh Hamdan’s picture-perfect safari trip to Tanzania looked beyond idyllic. While being surrounded by wildlife, the thrill-seeker shared a series of clips while jumping over a large pool of water. He also  explored the dense forests. The trip was indeed an adventurous one with all the outdoor activities the royal was seen trying out.
      Japan

      In 2019, Sheikh Hamdan made a visit east to Japan. Regarded as a highly-trained fitness enthusiast, the Dubai royal was seen posing with bronze sculptures of rugby player Michael Leitch and sumo wrestler Tochinoshin Tsuyoshi. He was also captured taking some classes and trying some delicious food. He’s undoubtedly ticked off a host of must-visit venues on his trip to Japan. From grazing through the enchanted streets or travelling by the high-speed bullet train to Tokyo, make a note of all the must-dos on your next trip.
      South Korea

      Nearly three years ago, in 2019, Sheikh Hamdan paid a visit to Seoul in South Korea. He posted a photo of himself in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of the country’s must-visit attractions. Along with his Uncle Saeed, they visited historic spots in the city, as well as enjoyed matcha milkshakes, a very popular drink of choice in East Asia.
      Estonia

      In 2018, Sheikh Hamdan took his riding skills international, participating in a 160km endurance race in Estonia. During his travels in the Eastern European country, he cycled in Estonia along with his friend Saeed Jabber Al Harbi.
      Uzbekistan

      There’s no doubt, that Sheikh Hamdan is always seen posing in the great outdoors. His recent trip to Uzbekistan in November 2021 consisted of all the engaging activities. It included camping, falconry, exploring nature and also visiting some of the local residents in the country.
      USA

      Back in 2018, Dubai’s Crown Prince travelled to the USA visiting popular cities like Chicago and New York City.
      Denmark

      Spotted on this self-governing archipelago, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Faroe Islands is known for its picturesque coastal cliffs and gorgeous open skies. Seen taking a selfie with nature, this popular photo was all over social media.
      Canada

      Exploring the peaks of British Columbia, the royal was seen enjoying this snow-filled holiday on Canada’s ski slopes back in 2019. This stunning wintry escape is everything one looks for in the cooler months. Snowboarding, snow-cover buildings and spruce trees were some of the elements which truly made this holiday complete.
      Italy

      Seen posing in the popular frame shot with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Sheikh Hamdan visited Italy in 2017, as the snap was captured with perfect precision. From relishing some delicious pasta to walking on the cobbled steps, this beautiful destination is one to add to your list too.

      Is August 8, 2024 the best day to manifest? Here’s what you need to know

      Life

      42 mins ago

      There’s immense power when it comes to achieving your goals. However, finding the right ways to manifest can go a long way.
      On August 8 each year, the 8:8 Lions Gate Portal, an energetic gateway for spiritual growth and manifestation, occurred. This celestial event saw the alignment of the Sun in Leo with the star Sirius, amplifying energies and creating opportunities for personal development.
      The Meaning
      2024 is full of celestial activity and Adding this year’s number 8 (2+0+2+4 8) to the mix makes it thrice as powerful (8:8:8). Manifesting, often associated with the law of attraction, is the process of bringing your desires and goals into reality through focused thought, intention, and belief. Here are some tips for manifesting effectively:
      Be Clear About Your Intentions
      Be specific about what you want. Vague desires lead to vague results. Putting your intentions on paper can help clarify your goals and make them more concrete.
      Visualize Your Goals
      Collect images, words, and symbols that represent your goals and place them where you can see them daily.
      Feel the Emotions
      Imagine how achieving your goals will make you feel. Emotions play a crucial role in manifesting. Ensure you practice gratitude while clearly stating your goals.
      Swipe through our gallery for the best supplies to create you vision board.
