It’s been a busy week – all of our team jet-setters have returned safely back at Emirates Woman HQ and we’re back planning and producing what is bound to be the biggest and best year of your favourite magazine! Luckily for us, we’ve also got a long weekend ahead and this is where you’ll find us…

BIG BAD WOLF

In our autumn/winter issue of Luxe we brought you the story of Jordan Belfort, the stoker broker that penned the memoir Wolf Of Wall Street, which is now a film of the same name. The movie is released in UAE cinemas today. We’ll be watching the massively talented (and still single) Leonardo DiCaprio very closely as he channels Belfort’s excessive life of fantasy and fraud, and how he tries to keeps it all together before it all comes crashing down.

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU

Unsurprisingly, when everyone came back to the office this week it was with a plan to make this their healthiest year to date. Surprisingly, everyone has managed to avoid the giant bowl of Patchi chocolate (for now). Since we’re all trying to detox our bodies from the inside, we decided that it would be a good idea to do it on the outside too. St Regis Abu Dhabi is offering a Bespoke New Year’s Cleanse at Remede Spa. This package offers everything you need to feel like a new person including an Arabian desert sand scrub and a lymphatic drainage massage.

The offer runs until the end of January. For bookings call (02) 6944100 or email remede.abudhabi@stregis.com

WE LOVE NEW WORK

There is nothing like seeing bold and expressive art to inspire you to get your own creative juices flowing for the year to come. We’ll be heading down to Alserkal Avenue this Saturday evening to see the openings of new exhibitions at Gallery Isabelle Van Den Eynde, Green Art Gallery, Carbon 12 and Lawrie Shabibi, as well as to catch a few of the shows we couldn’t get to during the holiday frenzy.

Exhibitions open at 5pm. Visit here for more information.
