QUARANTINE DAY… ?

It’s the third week of quarantine here in Dubai, and we are now on a 24 hour lock down.

FOR ANY GIRL WHO’S NOT FELT ENOUGH

We were at the gym, before breakfast doing fasted cardio in a bid to lose some weight, slogging it out on the treadmill that overlooked the swimming pool when I felt a familiar lurch. She was right in our line of sight; all tanned, long dark hair, body like a fitness model, petite stature, and … Continue reading FOR ANY GIRL WHO’S NOT FELT ENOUGH
