Lovin Meets

From a young age, Areej aspired to become a professional footballer and  succeeded in her ambitions as she is now a part of the UAE National Football Team. During the interview, she expressed how every time she steps out for the national anthem she feels major ‘butterflies’ and the feeling never gets old. When asked about her top two moments this is what Areej had to say,“My two moments is when you score or when your team scores for the national team, it’s such an amazing feeling! And national anthem, when you line up and start singing the national anthem, you get butterflies. I can’t explain the feeling, you get so excited and hyped up.”

An enlightening conversation with Anjaan, who described the REAL meaning of healing. He aims to bring balance and value to people's lives through his work.

The talented Shebani. During lockdown, she recorded, filmed and edited her new single, Higher. Now she's taking a much-needed break. Not *just* a beautiful voice, she's the manager, the admin, the PR.... the creative AND the business. Now, she's sitting back and taking time to concentrate on the music. Her new single Higher is out now. Give it a listen @ShebaniMusic

A strong voice promoting body-acceptance in the UAE, Danae Mercer is responsible for an Insta account with more than 1.2 million followers where she promotes self-love and body acceptance.

From meeting Jason Derulo to hobnobbing with Fazza, the UAE is an interesting place to be a magician. Magic Phil, one of the UAE's top magicians spilled the beans on his intriguing career, his new children's book and, most importantly, how to make a straw REALLY disappear 😊 #lovindubai @1magicphil
