    Could we have a table for two, please? But at home it’s genuinely different.
    With the rain in sight all-day today dressing up and making a reservation might seem like a daunting task. If you plan to celebrate a special occasion from home with your better half, there are many ways to set the mood up for romance.
    While, there are so many options you can choose from having dinner at a fancy restaurant, getting a couple’s massage, going to a museum. The list truly goes on. However, one of our favorite ways to kickstart the weekend is to spend it at home with a personal touch.
    Overall, It’s private, you can be as creative as you want, and you’ll get to be in the comfort of your own home with your favorite person, and most importantly do it your way.
    If you’re beginning the evening with a cheese platter and ending with a cheese cake, finding the right cutlery, décor and other elements can make for the perfect tablescape. Whether you’re preparing an elaborate meal or ordering in, designing a romantic tablescape can undoubtedly contribute to an unforgettable evening without the the noise and hassle of travelling two and from the booking.
    So, set the mood with festive candles, flowers, and a rouge tea set that can get ready for a truly romantic evening.

    5 inspiring female celebrities embracing their vitiligo

    Life

    by Sarah Joseph
    3 hours ago

    Proving that vitiligo is no barrier to success, several celebrities have broken the shackles against it.
    The condition is caused due to lack of melanin resulting in skin pigment. While some treatments have been developed, there’s no long-term solution.
    Affecting approximately 70 million people worldwide, many celebrities are known to have the condition.
    However, instead of trying to hide the condition, they proudly embrace it, becoming inspirations for many around the globe.
    Salama Mohammed

    One of the most vocal high-profile personalities to embrace her vitiligo is Emirati content creator Salama Mohamed. In a previous interview with Emirates Woman, she admitted it was difficult growing up with the condition. “It was a struggle growing up, when you feel you are different and don’t fit in it is easier to think there is something wrong with you,” she admitted. But today, she embraces her vitiligo “every inch” of her being, and even has the words “Blessed with vitiligo” in her Instagram bio. Through her journey, she was motivated to launch her own skincare brand, Peacefull.
    Winnie Harlow

    Winnie Harlow rose to stardom after appearing on America’s Next Top Model in 2014. As a strong advocate for breaking down conventional beauty standards, Harlow has used her platform to raise awareness for skin positivity. Having appeared in campaigns for big labels such as Nike, Victoria’s Secret, Marc Jacobs and more, she has broken the boundaries surrounding vitiligo. The supermodel was diagnosed with this chronic skin condition at the age of four and ever since a young age has been vocal about how this shouldn’t define her.
    Karen Wazen

    Content creator and Dubai-based entrepreneur Karen Wazen shared her journey with vitiligo back in June 2021. Opening up about her experience and her diagnosis, the mum-of-three encouraged everyone to accept themselves for who they are. “Accepting ourselves and bodies and differences is the biggest strength we can have, once we are in this state of mind nothing will affect the way we see ourselves,” she said.
    Shahad Salman

    Saudi fashion model Shahad Salman is breaking barriers in the modelling industry. The 25-year-old model embraces her vitiligo and continues to be motivated by her ambition to succeed in the industry. Born to challenge stereotypes, the model projects self-confidence in every project she takes on, including her latest role as an ambassador for Pantene.
    Holly Marie Combs

    Best known for her role in Pretty Little Liars, Holly Marie Combs has vitiligo, a condition that she has been open about over the years.
