Think UP!

We had bumped into this lovely video discussing a new initiative about to take place in Dubai, UAE. Saleh Al Braik aka @Fearless in Dubai is the creator of Think UP; a new platform to support the younger generation and community in various means. Full of inspirational thoughts Saleh explains what Think UP will tackle in the community and how he plans to grow this lovely initiative!
We will keep an eye on this new platform/website and will wish Saleh and the team all the best!

[Eye Candy] : b for bonnie

We don't usually blog about other blogs, not for any specific reason but there's a lot of lovely blogs out there and if we start we'll probably never finish! However, today we bumped into a very irresistible one, we were fascinated by its minimal layout, breathtaking images and interesting content. The style and topics shout 'Love Me' or rather 'blog about me'! I guess we enjoyed it a lot.
Take a look, hope you like it too..
