This year, Lush’s Eid Collection celebrates the beauty of togetherness, tradition, and the simple joys that make Ramadan and Eid so special. Now available in stores, the collection brings a touch of festivity to your shower routine with limited-edition products and gifts that embody the spirit of the season.

At the heart of the collection is a new range inspired by a fruity blackcurrant flavour beloved across the MENA region–a nod to the cherished moments spent with family and friends during Ramadan.
This collection was created through Lush’s “Co-Create” programme, a unique product creation initiative that amplifies authentic voices within Lush’s diverse community. In collaboration with Lush staff and a dedicated Muslim community focus group, the range was shaped by real stories and cultural traditions, ensuring that each product captures the essence of Eid and Ramadan in a meaningful way.

The Lush Eid Collection is now available in stores and online at lush.com.

lululemon, operated by Majid Al Futtaim in the Mid

lululemon, operated by Majid Al Futtaim in the Middle East, has launched its curated #Ramadancollection, 🌙🧘‍♀️🏃‍♀️designed to support individuals as they move through #Ramadan—embracing the challenge, resetting their rhythm, and finding strength in togetherness. The launch is backed by recent research revealing that 82% of UAE residents continue to stay active during Ramadan, with most adapting their routines to align with the month’s unique rhythm.

lululemon’s #Ramadanedit blends performance and mindfulness, offering elevated, #modest silhouettes in serene earth tones and neutral palettes. Designed to flow with the changing pace of Ramadan, the collection transitions seamlessly from gentle morning movement to pre-iftar training sessions and culminates in elevated travel essentials for the Eid holidays. Each piece integrates technical innovation with cultural awareness, empowering individuals to stay active, feel connected, and move with confidence throughout the month.

Top #tips to move through Ramadan from #lululemon Ambassador and Master Coach, Maitha Almatrooshi:

Before & Post Breaking Fast: Opt for low-impact, yoga, 🧘‍♀️ pilates and breathwork, 😮‍💨 rather than high-impact cardio, before breaking your fast to prevent exhaustion. Take a break for two to three hours post-iftar before engaging in high-intensity workouts and focus on weight-based exercises to aid muscle recovery.

Recovery: Choose protein-rich post-workout recovery meals to help muscle repair. Ice baths help in reducing inflammation and improving blood flow. Hydration is key: drink plenty of water between iftar and suhoor and eat hydrating foods like watermelon and salads.

Staying motivated: Shift your mindset and treat fitness as a lifestyle. Join group workouts to stay motivated and turn gym time into social time. Even if you’re not a fitness enthusiast, keep moving. Remember, small consistent efforts add up to big results.

When was the last time that you went to a doctor?

When was the last time that you went to a doctor? What about the last time that you had a mental health check-up? For many women in the UAE, there is quite a big difference between the last time we went to a medical doctor for a physical issue and the last time we checked in our mental health. While we know there is an undeniable and indivisible link between the body and the mind, the care for our minds, our mental health, often lags far behind our care for the physical.

Here are some actionable strategies that can help build mental health:

✔️Daily Check-Ins – Ask yourself: How am I feeling today? If stress or sadness lingers, address it before it escalates.
🤍Challenge Perfectionism – Accept that “good enough” is enough. Doing your best does NOT mean exhausting yourself. Doing your best involves understanding your demands, limitations, and resources. Avoid burnout by recognizing when striving for perfection becomes self-sabotaging.
🏃‍♀️Prioritise small daily enjoyments: Make space for things that bring delight or awe to your day —whether it’s music, nature, art, or movement. A cup of tea listening to your favourite song (if that is your thing) is a small, but meaningful way to reconnect to yourself.
🙅🏻‍♀️Sometimes, you need to say no – `We can’t be all things to all people. Sometimes we need to prioritize. Yes, this means sometimes disappointing others, but we can do this with love and respect (and then be there for them in return when our cup is fuller and there’s is not).
🗣️🫂Seek Support – Therapy is not a last resort, nor is it for people who cannot cope. Therapy is about growth, self-discovery, and self-worth. Even if you feel “functional,” having a mental health check-in can provide clarity and prevent future struggles.
Taken together, checking in on your mental health is not a one-and-done action. Rather, it is a dynamic and evolving process to help you stay connected to arguably one of the most important parts of the body - the mind.

You could start with a credible and reputable mental health screening questionnaire such as here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/tests/health/mental-health-assessment

This March, AURA Skypool is putting the spotlight

This March, AURA Skypool is putting the spotlight on women with two incredible experiences:

1. Ladies-Only Yin Yoga (March 6th, 13th & 20th): A serene Yin Yoga escape series with sound healing and deep relaxation. It’s the ultimate way for ladies to reset, recharge and engage in the superpower that is serenity. AURA invites women to immerse
themselves in Yin Yoga Sound Healing classes by their Resident Wellness Coach Emilse,
to slow down their mind and relax into a deeply restorative state. With the hustle of a city
like Dubai, it can be easy to forget to take a minute for yourself. AURA wants ladies to
take a whole hour to recharge and leave a lasting impact.
Yin Yoga is a passive practice that goes beyond the muscles to target fascia (deeper
connective tissues) where resistance is found, reversing the effects of stress while
encouraging guests to challenge the edge of their comfort by the holding of different
passive postures.
Sound Healing therapy activates the body’s self-healing system, soothing the nervous
system and encouraging the release of tension from the body. The healing vibrational
sounds frequencies will facilitate shifts in brainwaves to relax participants into a meditative
state.
These two elements together are the perfect combination to cultivate a harmonic space
to nourish the mind and body and let go of anything that doesn’t serve the individual.
What better way to practice mindfulness than 210m above sea level.
Each one-hour session includes a welcome wellness shot, an AURA yoga mat & towel (which can only be used during the class), an AURA water bottle with white bamboo iced tea, as souvenir of their experience and a reminder to prioritize their well-being throughout
the year with the simple act of staying hydrated.

With large Iftar spreads and increased shopping, h

With large Iftar spreads and increased shopping, households often end up buying more than they need. The UAE generates nearly 197kg of food waste per person annually, with a significant increase during Ramadan.🌙 Menna Shahin, co-founder of eJaby, a UAE e-commerce platform focused on sustainable shopping and positive shopping practices, shares practical ways to embrace sustainability this season:

1. Before heading to the store or placing an order online, create a plan, 📝 whether it’s for your meals, gifts, or household products.

2. Opt for bulk shopping when it makes sense—such as staple items like rice, flour, and lentils—but avoid over-purchasing perishable goods.

3. Proper storage can significantly extend the shelf life of fresh produce, 🥬 dairy, 🥛 and meats. Keep fruits and vegetables in breathable bags, store dairy at a consistent cool temperature,and freeze extra portions of cooked meals for later use.

4. Transform surplus food into new dishes instead of discarding it. Leftover roasted vegetables 🥕 can be blended into soups,while extra rice can be repurposed into delicious rice 🍚 puddings or stir-fries for Suhoor.

5. Opt for organic or responsibly sourced products when possible. Make small choices, such as selecting products with minimal packaging or choosing items from suppliers that promote sustainability.

6. Beyond food, consider sustainability in household purchases.Eco-friendly cleaning products, reusable ♻️ storage and decoration solutions,and minimal-packaging items and can help reduce environmental impact while keeping homes 🏡#Ramadanready.

Choose smart shopping retailers, like eJaby, that connect consumers directly to suppliers, ensuring fresh, high-quality products while preventing overstock from being discarded.

Share a post or reel about what you can do to help the environment, tagging eJaby for a chance to win rewards. The initiative aims to inspire simple yet meaningful actions, such as reducing waste, repurposing leftovers, and making mindful purchases. Winners announcement on Feb29, with the top entry receiving an AED5000 eJaby voucher and 5 others winning AED1000 vouchers each. Check out ejaby.io for their Ramadan offers.

The ‘Unbreakable Her’ collection is inspired by the remarkable women who inspire, support, and guide us through life’s many chapters—mothers, sisters, friends, and mentors. Each ring is a contemporary statement of empowerment and beauty, crafted to honor the timeless connections that shape us. Much like a diamond, the strength of these relationships is unbreakable, with the collection serving as a radiant reminder of their significance.

Tala Samman describes the collection as a tribute to the incredible women who shape lives with strength and grace. “The pinky ring, a symbol of individuality and empowerment, represents the unwavering bonds that connect us.”

Crafted in 18K gold and set with #ethicallysourced #labgrowndiamonds, the collection reflects Etika Jewels’ commitment to sustainable luxury. The rings will be available exclusively on etikajewels.com and at the Etika Jewels showroom throughout the month of March, inviting all to celebrate the women who make a difference every day.

To make this collection even more meaningful, the ‘Unbreakable Her’ rings offer the option for engraving, allowing customers to dedicate their piece to a strong woman in their life. Whether honoring oneself, a mother, a sister, or a friend, each ring becomes a personalized tribute to feminine strength and resilience.

Love the feel of freshly cleaned makeup brushes 🖌️ but don’t have the time to a actually clean them? Well, send your makeup brushes to The Brush Spa! 🛁

The Brush Spa offers a convenient and eco-friendly solution to clean and sanitize makeup brushes using premium, non-comedogenic solutions and UV technology. With pick-ups available in Dubai and surrounding areas, customers can schedule a service and enjoy a quick turnaround starting at just AED 44.

WHY you need to be serious about keeping your makeup brushes clean:
• Clean and Reuse ♻️ instead of discarding your brushes
• In a humid region like the UAE, the risk of bacteria 🦠 buildup on makeup brushes is significantly higher
• According to experts, acne and skin irritation often arise from the transfer of dirt, oils, and bacteria onto the skin, which can be exacerbated by unclean brushes.

So no need to keep using dirty brushes or throw them away when they get too dirty to use. Booking a brush cleaning service with The Brush Spa is easy and convenient. Customers can visit the website, choose from a variety of packages, and schedule a pick-up for their brushes. The service offers a 24-hour turnaround for an additional fee, or a standard 48-hour cleaning process.

Brushes are carefully cleaned using a non-comedogenic solution to ensure no product stains and are then sanitized with UV rays to eliminate harmful bacteria, especially in those hard-to-reach areas between the bristles.

Premium solutions 🧫 and ingredients are used to properly break down everything from heavy foundations to thick gel liners and waterproof mascara residues on makeup tools. This ensures that bristles remain soft and clean, without scratching the skin. The non-comedogenic formulas used in their cleaning process won’t leave harmful residues on the tools, which in turn helps minimize the formation of acne-causing bacteria. 🦠 Whether the makeup bag is made of PU, real leather, canvas, or any other material, The Brush Spa has the proper cleaning solutions to maintain both the tools and makeup storage in top condition.
