You better have your Mean Girls meme ready on October 3 (if you know, you know) to go with your box of themed mini cupcakes from Sugargram. The sweet destination has unveiled a Burn Book box with 25 tiny cupcakes to share with your gang of “Plastics” as you recite all of the famous quotes from the movie splashed across the front of the box. Whether you’re all for the ‘Red-Gina George’ red velvet cupcake that’s just as fiery as the character or ‘Candy Heron’ mini treat that packs in some festive flavours, there are plenty of unique combinations to enjoy while re-watching the much-loved flick. The Sugargram’s Burn Book box is priced at Dhs125 and you can get an additional “I’m not a regular cupcake, I’m a Sugargram cupcake” T-shirt for Dhs50.

Kick-off your weekend with a happy hour at Dubai’s ultimate chill-out spot QD’s – located at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. The venue has reopened with all the usual dining and shisha options to enjoy while marvelling at the spectacular views of Dubai Creek. The happy hour runs from 6pm to 8pm with drinks available for as little as Dhs28. We suggest staying for dinner to enjoy a diverse menu that features Middle Eastern, Indian and Mediterranean dishes.

Looking for a unique yoga experience? LAH LAH at Zabeel House, The Greens, is launching DEEP HOUSE YOGA DXB on Friday, October 2 that merges the practice with music. Held outdoors on the grass area, Yoga instructor Jes Body and DJ Charl Chaka are working closely together to create a unique musical deep house yoga flow. Priced at Dhs100 per person, the practice begins with a 15-minute warm-up following by an opening yoga circle for an hour before finishing with a meditation. The doors will open from 10.45am and as there are limited spaces you have to pre-register. Remember to bring your own yoga mat, water bottle, towel and mask.

Something ‘oddly satisfying’

Adidas pop-up

For something “oddly satisfying” visit the pop-up sensory experience which is being hosted by adidas Originals to celebrate the launch of the new ZX 2K BOOST silhouettes. The museum pop up includes installations and elements that will take guests through an experience where every touchpoint activates different senses. Guests will see different stations in the museum that give them a unique and oddly satisfying experience of familiar things such as slime, kinetic sand, ASMR sound, magnetic pulls and art, allowing them to interact and fully immerse themselves with their surroundings. The Oddly ZXatisfying Museum pop up will be open to the public on October 2 and 3 from 2pm until 10pm and will be located in Building 6, Ground Floor, Dubai Design District.
