A client didn’t show up, our spontaneous Abu Dhabi location was closed, and the sunrise we woke at 4 a.m. to catch never appeared. Somehow, all of that became a brand campaign—and a reminder of why real people and original creativity remain part of the MYLITTLEWHITESPACE story.

They said Lion’s Gate Portal is opening and for 18 days from July 26th until the 12th and its when the cosmic energies are open to stronger manifestations so I decided to begin a small daily practice around the Lion’s Gate season (although I must admit I don’t really know it works 🙈)

Nothing particularly complicated so I can make sure I can stick through it.

What happens when you stop feeding the algorithm for seven days? I joined the August social media fast to find out, and discovered just how much life had been waiting beyond the scroll.

Check out what I’ve been up to :)

Wow, who else get the wrath of the Mercury retrograde? Goodness gracious me - I kinda wanna cry! Oh wait I think I did - only pretty much almost everyday! But then again I wasn’t too sure if I’m also just emotionally heightened as it’s also around my red days.

Oh to be a woman!

Here’s a quick recap of week 2. On most days, I noticed a drop on my step counts - but it didn’t matter as the goal is different entirely for now. It’s not about how many steps, it’s about building a habit.

This was very much on a whim of a challenge that I decided to take on.

Firstly, because I have been really trying to add more out of screen activities. Secondly, my birthday is coming up in less than two months and hey, what better way to tone up a little before then 😝. Lastly, I’ve been building new habits to add on to my routine - so here goes nothing! Fingers cross for me I can stick the 30-days out!

While we source from many parts of the city, today come with mylittlewhitespace as we explore the heart of Old Dubai to discover heritage botanicals for our skinbar. The spice market is a favorite slow stroll part of my work as I take time to smell the freshness of the florals & resins and knowing whose hands weighed your herbs and the organic process they are milled.

In traditional astrology, every day is governed by a planet. While Monday is for discipline and Wednesday for endurance, Friday is for the soul. Named after the Old English Frīgedæg—associated with the goddesses Frigg and Freyja (the Norse equivalents of Venus)—Friday is officially Venus Day.

Much like Wadi Al Amardi, our mission at MYLITTLEWHITESPACE is to create a destination you would want to intentionally discover. Our quaint shop in Jebel Ali is a place that brings you to a sensorial experience where rediscovering the analog world makes worth of the drive and your stay with us. The tactile joy of creating your own selfcare rituals, the grainy texture of salt scrubs, the aroma of dried herbs — we aren't just a shop; we are a destination for those looking to swap screen time for 'making' time."

Discover your "slow saturday" with us.

Last week I could not change my top without wincing on my left shoulder… then my right foot has me limping on one foot and well.. my fingers decided why not make a triple treat and join the “Shyrell Pain Club” too!

Just my luck! What a week to be so disabled right when there were news of heavy storm, potential tornado and on top of the war 🤦‍♀️

We are moving our “life lately”series right over here on the blog!

Where did we left off? I remembered being so excited with the Lunar New Year and new energy the year of the fire horse was to bring.. 👀 - they said it’s a good year for the decisive and the ones who’s got plans! That it’s a year to push forward… is it really though??? 😅 Because judging by what I didn’t know what was to come at the time - I really wish we can turn back the time. 😬
