Travel: Etihad Museum
The Etihad Museum is a must see if you’re in Dubai. And, if you’re Canadian (like us!), then it’s extra special since it was designed by Moriyama and Teshima Architects, incredible Canadian architects. The design was a manuscript being held by seven columns. The seven columns represent the seven pens that signed the original deceleration – neat, eh? Okay, let’s checkout the inside. Etihad Museum First up, the museum will take you about an hour to 90 minutes. It was a short walk from our…

Travel: Dubai Fountain
The Dubai Fountain – it’s magical and a spectacle worth checking out. If you’re in the Dubai Mall area, visiting the Burj Khalifa, or the Dubai Aquarium, then time your visit and watch this water show! There aren’t any seats or tickets (well, I think you can pay and have a spot on a bridge), yet do ensure you arrive early-ish to get a good view. The walkway will fill up fast. We stood behind an older couple that was short, so we go some…

Travel: Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo
The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo – it’s a must do if you’re in Dubai. Don’t be fooled if you’re in the mall, there is way more to this aquarium than meets the eye. After touring the Burj Khalifa, we headed over to the aquarium and spent about 90 minutes checking out all the creatures. We bought package tickets, so if you plan on seeing both sights, I suggest you do the same. Saved us a total of $55 Canadian. The At The Top tickets…

Travel: Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa in Dubai – it’s currently the worlds tallest structure and has held the title since 2009. Wild, eh? We visited on our first day in Dubai – getting a sense of the city from way up high is quite cool. At The Top is located in the Dubai Mall and it’s a little tricky to find, so be sure to give yourself a few extra moments if you’ve bought a time entry ticket. Okay, let’s check out some photos! Burj Khalifa We defiantly…

Projects: January Intentions
January intentions!? Do you have any this month? For me, it’s reading more, getting back into yoga, and drinking more water (who doesn’t need more water?!). It’s been years and years since I’ve done an intentions post – the last time was in November 2017. I think I had yoga on there, too. Ah, now that I look at that post, all three of my intentions overlap with the past ones – that’s funny! Why the reading? Well, I joined my local library back in…
