BIG NEWS: I'm moving...!

I'm moving to New York City

Dubai --> New York

Things have been busy and hectic lately! That's why the posting has been super light!

I will be updating the blog a lot more regularly now and with so many more fun posts and updates from life in 'the city'!

I love Dubai, but I'm so excited for this new experience and can't wait to share it with you!

More recipes, tips on how to live on a budget, restaurant reviews, pictures, all in addition to the regular posts! Get ready to add LVP to your browser homepage! (If it isn't already!!)

The next week or so will be super busy with moving and flying, furnishing, getting settled in, etc. 

I will try to update as much as I can, but forgive me if the normal posts don't start till end of August, early September! I will be updating my Facebook page regularly thought, so stay tuned for sure!

Love you guys for your support, and I'm excited for the next year!

Love, Ferwa

De-Bug

If you hate bugs and mosquitoes as much as I do, you'll love this idea.

Lemongrass

It's strong citrus odor keeps mosquitoes away.

Now this seems totally do-able and a great idea.

Plus it's a great alternative to using bug sprays and chemicals!

You know LVP always loves an au naturel alternative!

Apartment therapy also shared another way of keeping the bugs away.

Cross Body Bags

I love shoulder bags/cross body bags. They are so convenient, and hassle free. Perfect for shopping, traveling, running errands, even a night out. They're usually the perfect size in comparison to tote bags, which means you have all the essentials you need for a worry free outing. They come in so many patterns and colors, that a neutral, classic one can be a great basic to always have, while a neon or more edgier version is perfect for accessorizing your outfit the right way, or adding a pop of color. 

Below are some of my picks that seem like the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

The Cambridge Satchel and the Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C's are two of my personal all time favorites that so far have not seemed to disappoint in either practicality, quality, or design/aesthetics!

(great to have in a fun color, and neutral ones are great as well)

Laughter, It's the Best Kind of Medicine

Instead of the weekly quote, I decided to put up a few funny & relatable phrase this week! Something that 'someecards' is very good at doing! I love reading through them. Although I do think their often 'inappropriate word choices' could be swapped out for more 'appropriate' ones. However here's a list of some I found over the week that were too hilarious not to share. Enjoy, and hope this gives you the chance to see the lighter side of things, especially if you've had a busy or crazy week!

Style Crush: Olivia Palermo

There's something about each and every outfit she puts on. They always look perfect, and they're effortlessly yet perfectly coordinated and balanced. The key to her style is balancing simple with statement pieces, and making even a simple set of skinny jeans & sweater look great. 

She always compliments her outfit, with well made hair, even if that means a simple pin backed look, and accessories, even if that means a necklace or a couple bracelets. Those few additions can take your mundane look to a olivia-palermo-esque one. Keep your make up natural and minimal-looking on an everyday bases to accentuate and bring out your natural features & beauty. Never be afraid to wear a statement piece or pop of color!
