THINGS I LOVE THURSDAYS

Sarah Bladen

*Recently I came across a handcrafted aromatherapy meditation roll on (made from essential oils like sesame, grape seed, lavender, holy basil and yalang-yalang) created with passion by a homegrown label called Saante. This cute meditation stick promotes an instant sense of zen and has a divine scent. To order one online go to www.saante.com

*As you know, I’m a big fan of the vegetarian restaurant, Sukh Sagar. My favourite lunchtime dish is Masala Dosa. With a spicy kick, this famous rice crepe is a staple dish in South India (everywhere from Karnataka to Kerala). There’s a long list of fresh juices on the menu, at the moment I’m loving the fresh sugar-free mocktail, Quantum Leap (apple, ginger, lime, mint and sparkling water). For branch locations click here.

*I’m excited about attending the Core Identity Healing workshop this Saturday 29th November – it helps to radically transform self-limiting patterns (thoughts, behaviours and feelings) so you can realise your own magnificence. Run by Andrea Anstiss (Psychotherapist & Hoffman Process Teacher) and Lisa Laws (Addiction Coach & Hypnotherapist), it allows participants to take away valuable tools. There are still a few places left. To book contact andrea.anstiss@gmail.com or call 050 856 6912.

*The other evening I went horse riding with my lovely friend Mira at Mushrif Park – there’s a real sense of freedom and adventure riding out in the desert and through the forest-like park. Just beware of some of the thorny branches! The next full moon ride is on 5th December. To book call 04 257 1256.

*At the end of a hectic week, I recommend heading down to De La Mer Spa, a beautiful calm oasis nestled off Jumeirah Beach Road (not far from Jumeirah Beach Hotel). Run by the lovely Moira, this place is designed with love and some of their scrubs include medicinal ingredients from their herb garden. I recommend the Hamman Ritual treatment – your body is covered with a natural black soap from Morocco and this is followed by a cleansing back treatment to eliminate toxins and relieve tensions. This 60-minute treatment (at only Dhs180) ends with a blissful neck, shoulder and back massage. To book call 04 328 27 75 or go to www.delamerspa.com

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love & Light,
