Foodstagram 101: How to Take Better Foodfies

Wednesday, June 28, 2017 / BY Ashe
I must confess: As someone who has trouble remembering what she had for breakfast, immortalizing my happy moments is quite important to me. Taking pictures is one of the fastest and most convenient ways for me to tuck away that lasting memory into a digital copy I can look back on at any time, so I shamelessly whip out my phone whenever I can. And out of all the things I take pictures of, food...

The Sunday Currently | One More for the Road

Sunday, June 25, 2017 / BY Ashe
For the first time since I started working, I'm home on a Sunday.

So far, so good, I'd say.  Since it's quite rare for all three of us to be home at the same time, we've all decided...

So here we are at the 3rd week of June - we're 3 months and a few weeks into our life in Dubai and I'm happy to report that we're slowly getting our rhythm down pat. There are minor lapses here and there (like forgetting to do the groceries), but overall I'm quite happy we've got a budding system in the works. For someone like me who thrives in having (some sort of semblance of)...

The Sunday Currently | Falling Up

Sunday, June 04, 2017 / BY Ashe
Guess who didn't get enough sleep last night? Lol. Evidently I made a mistake on the header of this blog entry, I lost the .psd file so I couldn't edit the number anymore, and I didn't want to start over just because I messed up one character, so I improvised.  How's your Sunday going so far? ...
