Bound no.82
We are Amanda & Amanda (we know, it confuses us too!), two friends who bonded over a love for home décor, home styling and perhaps most importantly, a shared interest in the creative skills needed to produce outstanding hand-made items. We both have creative backgrounds; one of us in interior & retail styling and the other in textile design, both have a love for photography, so creating Bound No.82 came naturally to us. As mothers of three independent, fun-loving and confident daughters, it was important to us that the direction we took set an example to our girls and it makes us proud that the work we do contributes to the empowerment of women to earn an independent living and to celebrate their skilled heritage.

Feel Good Tea Co.
Mohammad Alhawari founded The Feel Good Tea Company in Dubai in September 2019 by pure coincidence. Depression hit him hard after losing his executive job in the corporate world. After months of therapy, and of course binging on Netflix while snuggling under a blanket sipping on a warm mug of tea, he realised how much joy that freshly brewed tea made him feel. Be it a morning cup, a midday pick me up or an inspirational brew, tea brings us a profound healing, comfort and warmth. And so a light bulb struck! After a deep dive into the industry, he was shocked to learn about all the health benefits that came from teas and more specifically Chinese herbal teas. And so he began his journey to travel the world to find best feel-good ingredients blended in cup. His favourite tea, Mango Cranberry Fruit Punch tea brewed using the Feel Good Tea Monroe Glass Cup infuser, yum! 🙂

Lokal of the month
Mleiha
Mleiha, a UNESCO-nominated World Heritage Site in the Central Region of the Sharjah map, is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs and pre-Islamic forts. Fascinating artifacts and fossils were discovered here, including pottery, iron tools and camel skeletons. The Mleiha Archaeological Centre, which opened in 2016, houses these discoveries and even more artifacts that uncover ancient UAE history.
The centre also offers a range of tours and activities. You can explore the archaeological sites or venture into the sand dunes with a desert safari. Alternatively, you can also try other desert adventures like riding a quad bike or dune buggy over the sand. If you prefer to go on foot, consider trekking to Camel Rock for an expansive view of the desert. The surrounding area is a beautiful location for a desert camp on soft dunes and under glittering night stars.
