We all love pizza, right? The gooey cheese, the fluffy crust, the delicious toppings…I bet you’re hunrgy now, right? I got hungry just typing that sentence. This isn’t a pizza appreciation post, well, sorta. I wanted to share with you something fun that Dominoes UAE launched today: I love the retro vibe of the video and how it invites engagement by making the video seem … Continue reading Spotted: Dominos UAE Vaccination Drive Campaign
June 30 is World Social Media Day! It was established by Mashable in 2010 to celebrate how social media has impacted the way we communicate with each other. What better way to commemorate this fine occasion than with a round up of the best thing ever to come out of the internet – the meme? Here’s a selection of fun COVID-19 related-ones to brighten up … Continue reading World Social Media Day
Quarantine life is a double-edged sword. I’m a natural introvert so I’m very comfortable with having a home-based routine. The problem is having enough work to keep me distracted so that the dark clouds are forced back. I’ve worked on a few projects over the past four month. While each project was fun, motivating, and fulfilling in its own way, the fact that I haven’t … Continue reading Reflections in Kindness
Quarantine has disrupted our lives in many ways to the point where it seems as though we’ve entered the predicted “new normal” phase. One thing that book lovers, me included, have done to deal with this is to turn to our beloved books from treasured favourites to newly discovered tales – whether fictional or not – to finally tackling the ever-growing pile of To Be … Continue reading The Quarantine Reading Renaissance
Quarantine’s turned all of our lives upside-down. It’s also flipped our social media habits on their heads and impacted the way we use each platform. Since I’m a Twitter and Instagram user, I’m going to stick to my observation about these platforms. Feel free to add your impressions / observations on any other platform. TWITTER Despite having the opportunity to write posts that are 280 … Continue reading Emerging Social Media Trends
Social media users (which, if we’re being honest is most of us) tend to be a rather curious bunch. We’ve taken it for granted that platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and now TikTok, have become a natural extension of our lives that not being on any of the platforms – whether as users or consumers – causes phantom FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). It’s … Continue reading Digital Marketing During COVID-19
Last night, I was once again scrolling mindlessly through my twitter feed in the middle of the night because I’ve developed insomnia since the pandemic began when I came across a post that stilled my mind. I remembered that I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Yo Yo Ma three years ago ahead of his performance in Abu Dhabi. He was warm, humble, and full … Continue reading Play On, Maestro
If you’re like me, you don’t mind having a couple of days off to relax but any more free time then you get antsy and start looking for things to do. Throw in COVID-19 isolation and you’ll find yourself re-arranging your bookshelf three times in four days (well, if you’re me that is). I quickly figured out that I need to keep my mind busy … Continue reading Maintaining a Quarantine Routine
Like the majority of people, I’ve taken steps to start self-isolating as a precaution against the Coronavirus. It was fun at first, spending most of the time binge-watching Netflix shows that I’d been meaning to catch up on for months but I started getting antsy after a few days. While “spring cleaning” my home as a way to pass the time, I stumbled upon a … Continue reading COVID 19, My Notebook, and Me
If you’re on Twitter, chances are that you’ve seen some (or a lot) of these pop up on your timelines. They’ve probably brought a smile to your face or caused you to hum your favourite song. I started seeing several of these pop up on my timeline and loved how each version revealed a different side – or was perfectly “on brand” – for the … Continue reading Coronavirus Singalongs
