I really need this weekend. I. just. wanna. sleep…
But before you check out for the weekend, I gotta give you a dose of inspiration!
My Favorite Patio Tour: I totally love how Dubai-based blogger, Stella + the Stars, did up her amazing outdoor space in a super chic black and white theme! The IKEA outdoor RUNNEN black floor tiles are such a genius way of covering up outdated cement or tiles, and apparently hold up quite well in this desert heat. My favorite part of her yard has to be that plant feature wall though! It’s full of exotic plants that seem so appropriate for our side of the world – in a beachy but “we still live in a desert” kinda way! 🙂

My Favorite Recipe: I made this DIVINE cheesecake a couple of weeks ago, and it is some serious chocolaty goodness. This was totally inspired by my love for the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory, and luckily they posted their recipe!! It’s not exactly the same (obviously) but it still comes pretty damn close! I think having actual Godiva chocolate would be perfect, but the Lindt one I used was delish! I also substituted the wafer base with Oreos cuz… life is incomplete without Oreos……
Right before my cheesecake went into the fridge for a night. The longer you leave it in the fridge, the better!!
My Favorite Decor: Pottery Barn Bahrain and Saudi is having a massive Ramadan sale, and you’ll get 25% off ANYTHING in the store. Here are just a few of my favorite decorative accessories that are priced amazingly well – Marlowe Ceramics in white or blue, Booker Hurricanes, and the Lilian Vase!

My Favorite Pinterest Find: Try something new and different for your Ramadan table settings this year! What I sooo love about La Crema and I Suwannee’s table decor is that something as simple as a couple of white ornate lanterns can take this from pretty table setting to festive and totally appropriate for Ramadan or Eid! If you need some more table setting ideas, you can also check out some of the gorgeous decorative accessories I posted on my 30 Beautiful Ramadan Décor Items For Your Home post!
Have a beautiful weekend!
