Looking For Cookie Butter Spread Here In Dubai

Ever since that Trader Joe's Speculoos became famous, I have heard people rave about how good it tastes like. My husband was in New York recently and I have asked him to buy me some to see what the fuss was all about. It seems like you have to go to the Trader's Joe branch to get that cookie butter.

I have searched here in Dubai as well but I can't find any grocery carrying that kind of brand. I was really willing to try other brands just to get my hands on that cookie butter everyone is talking about. Hard to find items like that cookie butter spread is something Dubai has catch up with. Not only in food but also in arts and crafts supplies where there is just a handful of sellers. I just hope that while Dubai is getting over urbanized, I hope it can bring famous American brands to its store shelves soon.

Eid Sale

I just came home from the mall. I went straight to the mall after work to pass away the time and the traffic during Ramadan.

I am a bit surprised to see major boutiques with price reduction and major sale. Normally, the sale happens during Eid or at least few days leading to the holiday. The sale is rather early this time so the malls can get more shoppers.

The sale signs are just everywhere, from shoes to perfumes to clothing to electronics and supermarket. The cigar and magazine shops also carried best cigar deals signs that I don't usually see.

I didn't come home empty-handed. I bought some grocery stuff, dog food, gym ball, skipping rope and an office wear. I wanted to buy clothes for my daughter but I held the thought because next week is the announcement of Eid so more shops will eventually mark their prices down. I will probably wait for that.

Beauty Supplies for Me and My Daughter

It didn't strike me right away that one day, my daughter and I would share our beauty supplies with each other. I have enjoyed the freedom of buying beauty products for my personal consumption. Lately, she has been bugging me on the whereabouts of my lip glosses, hair clips, blemish concealer, blackhead removal astringent and even my hair styling products!

My daughter has recently turned 13 so I think the inevitable of sharing my beauty supplies will be sooner than I thought. I guess I have to spare extra budget for her beauty needs too in our next trip to the supermarket.
