She grew up in the capital city of Abu Dhabi. She graduated from the College of Art and Science and embarked on her career as an interior designer. But her heart was marching to its own beat from a very young age.

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! 🙂

Story of Source
Story’s story (no pun intended) has been long in the making, but it was a trip to Guatemala in October 2018 where Story of Source was born. Guatemala gave our intent color, our dreams shape and further fueled our desire to preserve and nourish indigenous craft in a fair and sustainable manner.
It is our hope that with every collection, Story will help sustain indigenous craftsmanship and encourage artisanry, a dying art in many parts of the world.

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.
