The 2010 Challenge

2010 is about to end, I'm about to turn 30 and I feel like I have nothing to show for. So, in the middle of a mid life crisis (since I am only living until I'm 65) I have resolved to do 3 big things before 2010 ends.

1 - LOVE SOMETHING ABOUT DUBAI
It is no secret that I have taken a great dislike to Dubai the moment I moved here. As our Dubai days draw to an end (we see ourselves moving back to Asia by 2011), and to give my poor husband's ears some relief to my whining - I have resolved to 'try' and love something about Dubai.

2 - FINALLY GET MY YOGA TEACHER TRAINING CERTIFICTAE IN INDIA
Take the plunge, save my leaves and forget about selling soap for 1 month to pursue my dream of having a health and welness center, complete with a breakfast place, yoga studio and food take out place. If I do not do it now - when will I ever do it? Unilever will live without me for a month won't it?

3 - SEE THIS PART OF THE WORLD SPENDING MINIMAL AMOUNTS OF MONEY
My job takes me to insanely exotic places, and since I am there, I might as well invest a day to see the place - even if it means not sleeping. On my list - Istanbul, Turkey. Casablanca, Morocco. Algeria. Cairo, Egypt. The beaches of South Africa.

To document all this, I will be using my camera - my trusty Nikon D90 which is furstraingly just used for food photos.

Meet the Inked. Cupcakemaker

My photo
Dubai, UAE
A marketeer, yoga enthusiast, with a penchant for baking, skateboarding and thinking of adding 1 more to her 4 tattoos. I was in Thailand 3 1/2 years ago when the baking bug got to me, for a long stretch (aided by insomnia) I would invent and bake cookies and cupcakes for friends. Most of my baked goodies I could only eat sparingly as I was wary of it being too unhealthy - so the baking stopped. I have recently turned vegetarian and realized that healthy food can be super yummy...why not baking? There are loads of inspiring journalling from friends (love Lyan's blogs on cooking and Shane's) that I was inspired to journal my own! So here's to an exploration of healthy sweet treats you and I can enjoy...guilt-free!
