Spotted the newly-opened #findsalt truck just #aroundtheburj. I got try their Hook burgers at their Kite Beach before. The queue was insane but it was all worth it knowing you’ll get to eat wagyu grass-fed free range beef. 💯 halal certified too! #findsaltuae #AsPreciousAsSALT #burjkhalifa #dubaimall #wagyu . . . . . . . . . . #igersdubai #lovindubai #mydubai #mydxblife #bloggersdubai #dxbigers #dxbeach #beautifuldestinations #streetphotographers #thevisualvogue #lonelyplanetdubai #dubaibloggers #uaelife #expatwomendubai #uaebloggers #travelstoriesworld #dubaiblogger #alfresco #sky #bluesky #soukalbahar

Every fountain show at the Dubai Mall is a remarkable experience!🤩✨ I was able to appreciate it more this time. The wind was so strong, massive drops of water made its way to where I was standing that I had to put my phone down and stop taking pictures (yes my phone is not waterproof lol). That reminded me - actually all of us in that area - that sometimes you just gotta put your phone down (after taking a few snaps 😜) and enjoy living in the moment. #DubaiWaterFountainShow . . Does anyone know how often they change the songs used for these shows? @thedubaimall . Happy long weekend! Woohoo! 🙌 🎉 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #travelgram #wheretonext #bbctravel #huffpostgram #huffposttravel #vscocam #vscodaily #wheretonext✈️ #igersdubai #lovindubai #mydubai #mydxblife #bloggersdubai #dxbigers #dxbeach #beautifuldestinations #streetphotographers #thevisualvogue #lonelyplanetdubai #dubaibloggers #uaelife #expatwomendubai #uaebloggers #travelstoriesworld #dubaiblogger #aroundtheburj #burjkhalifa #soukalbahar #happynationaldayuae (at Burj Khalifa)

A couple of weeks ago, I had the dilemma of remembering that one music video by a female pop duo that has a futuristic vibe to it of some sort. I no longer remember the lyrics of the song, and I can’t remember anything from the video, so obviously I can’t Google it. Every single day for almost a week, I set aside a time for Googling about “90s female pop groups” “90s girl bands” “underrated female groups” etc to no avail. 

Anyone who’s had the same dilemma would understand how just fucking one tune and one frame of the music video can get stuck in your head and make you feel sick that no other thing would ever cure you except to know the title of this song! 

Lo and behold one day I was browsing through old pictures on my laptop and came across a Top of the Pops list which included names of female groups and started Googling and the rest is history! 

Other 90s songs that I rediscovered (not necessarily my favorites) but hearing these again instantly transported me back to the 90s:

Push It by Garbage

I am, I Feel by Alisha’s Attic  

Lift Me Up by Geri “Ginger  Spice” Halliwell

All The Things She Said by t.A.T.u.

Man, I Feel Like A Woman by Shania Twain 

C’est La Vie by B*Witched 

Crush - Jennifer Page

Erase & Rewind by The Cardigans

Everyday Is A Winding Road by Sheryl Crow

Thank you, self, for doing that one-week research! XD 

And if you want more, I have prepared the ultimate 90s playlist: ODE TO 90s POP and SOME!

Enjoy, you guys!

To Alanis Morisssette, who I admired a lot when I was younger - who inspired me to write journals and make gratitude lists, who made me play the guitar and harmonica, write songs, who influenced me to practice yoga and connect with my spiritual self; whose eloquence, authenticity, and simplicity I truly admire - happy happy birthday! 🌹🎉🎁🎈🎂❤️--- If my maths were correct, I printed this more than a decade ago and pinned it on my closet door; One of my favorites from @Alanis @Morissette's online journal/scrapbook which I frequented a lot when I was younger. #alanis #alanismorissette #afterlight #vscocam

I swear to every heaven ever imagined, if I hear one more dead-eyed hipster tell me that art is dead, I will personally summon Shakespeare from the grave so he can tell them every reason why he wishes he were born in a time where he could have a damn Gmail account. The day after I taught my mother how to send pictures over Iphone she texted me a blurry image of our cocker spaniel ten times in a row. Don’t you dare try to tell me that that is not beautiful. But whatever, go ahead and choose to stay in your backwards-hoping-all-inclusive club while the rest of us fall in love over Skype. Send angry letters to state representatives, as we record the years first sunrise so we can remember what beginning feels like when we are inches away from the trigger. Lock yourself away in your Antoinette castle while we eat cake and tweet to the whole universe that we did. Hashtag you’re a pretentious ass hole. Van Gogh would have taken 20 selflies a day. Sylvia Plath would have texted her lovers nothing but heart eyed emojis when she ran out of words. Andy Warhol would have had the worlds weirdest Vine account, and we all would have checked it every morning while we Snap Chat our coffee orders to the people we wish were pressed against our lips instead of lattes. This life is spilling over with 85 year olds rewatching JFK’s assassination and 7 year olds teaching themselves guitar over Youtube videos. Never again do I have to be afraid of forgetting what my fathers voice sounds like. No longer must we sneak into our families phonebook to look up an eating disorder hotline for our best friend. No more must I wonder what people in Australia sound like or how grasshoppers procreate. I will gleefully continue to take pictures of tulips in public parks on my cellphone and you will continue to scoff and that is okay. But I hope, I pray, that one day you will realize how blessed you are to be alive in a moment where you can google search how to say I love you in 164 different languages.
