Us girls consider shopping as a cure to our most common sicknesses (depression, stress, heartache, PMS, mood swings or even topak) - with no approved therapeutic claim. As I can consider myself (feelingera) an ambassadress of style, shopping and great deals, I would like to share my crazy and fun moments in one of the ultimate shopping festivals here in Dubai - Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF).
DSF started on Feb. 15, 1996 which is committed to vivify retail trade in Dubai, thus encouraging tourists to come and visit the country. This month long event for this year started in January 20th and will end on February 20th. DSF is topped with bonggang happenings and surprises. The parades, daily evening shows, fireworks display, concerts, gold and car raffle draws, desert camp and night souqs await the shoppers. Who can ever resist 75% sales and discounts at over 6,000 retail outlets in 50 shopping malls? In this exploit you can find the best deals on tax free products.
Al Seef Street Celebration (EAT)
This DSF, I discovered true nourishment by EATING in the streets of Al Seef; the power of PLAYING in Al Rigga and the inner peace and balance by SHOPPING!! (Parang Eat Pray Love lang talaga). We have our own reasons to shop - to socialize, for status, for necessities, to escape this cruel world or to use it for therapy. Whatever it is, we should always bargain hunt and "Thou shalt not overspend" (ahem..ahem..). To my fellow shopaholics, we have about 2 more weeks to deal with this madness and to those peeps not in Dubai, lipad na and shop your heart out.
