Organic Body polishing

Hello Ladies,

How often do you pamper yourself? It’s imperative to take care of yourself atleast once every month, owing to the busy stressful life that we so lead.  We are so used to the exposure to pollution and UV rays on a daily basis, that we overlook how dull our body becomes over time.

It’s vital to slough away the dead skins and reveal supple smooth skin. The best way to do so is through Organic Body polishing at Queen Beauty Lounge.

The first thing I did notice about Queens Beauty Lounge is that it’s so easy to locate!  It’s a 2 min walk from the metro and is located on the mezzanine floor of Trident Marinascape. The name is so apt, as that is how every woman would feel when you visit the lounge. They also offer various treatments ranging from face, body, hair, nail & eyelash extensions and professional make up.
I was invited to Queens Beauty Lounge in Marina, to try their Organic Body polishing. I had heard so much about Queens, but had never been there myself.  Jasmine, was my first point of communication with Queens and she was so friendly and accommodating with my erratic schedules and timings. I finally made it, and I’m so glad I did. I’m sure you will too post reading my experience with them.

Queens beauty lounge pampers you from the moment you step into the salon. From a cold compress to Detox water, they ensure you are well taken care of. Post filling in a form with essential personal and medical details they whisk you off to your chosen service.



Body polish is a mechanical way of removing dead skin from the surface, and leaving behind new skin (cells) to get healthy, glowing skin. Body polishing offers many advantages such as skin firming, cell regeneration and renewal, elimination of toxins from the body, and deep moisturization.

Organic body polishing at Queens involves a 3 step process:


Step One (Scrub): After ensuring I was comfortable, my therapist Tulip promptly explained the procedure. She started off with the Himalayan and Rose petal scrub.  A bit of warm water was used before applying scrub all over my body. Tulip scrubbed every nook and cranny of my body.  It took her a good 20-30 mins to scrub my entire body. She ensured that the scrub was not too harsh and that the pressure applied was as per my level of tolerance. The combination of Himalayan sea salt and rose petals ensured deep exfoliation without leaving my skin dry.



Note: It’s advisable to not try Organic Body polishing right after waxing or shaving your skin, wait at least 2 days for your skin to heal or the salt in the scrub will give you slight discomfort.
Step Two (Pack): The scrub is then wiped off your body with a towel soaked in warm water. Post which an organic brightening mask made up of white clay and rose petals is applied generously all over the body. Then your body is wrapped in a sheet and was further covered by two big towels. The mask is left to dry for 15-20 mins. The wrap ensured that my pores opened up and benefited completely with the mask. I asked for the lights to be a switched off and fell into lull with the soothing music that was being played.


Once the pack dries off, you are asked to wash it off.

P: S – look at those cute disposable pink flippies.

Step Three (Massage): The third step is my favorite. I’ m a sucker for massages. I was taken to a different room where Tulip gave me a deep tissue massage with Frangipani infused oil. The massage was rejuvenating and I just didn’t want it to get over. She targeted specific areas in order to stimulate the pressure points, which help strengthen the tissue and eliminate toxins. The oil smells wonderful and is very moisturizing. I have dry skin and it left my skin smooth and supple the next day too. It’s also available on sale at AED 160.

Honestly I am in love with their service. It not just removes your dead skin but also helps with those pesky in-growths. This 3 step process ensure that your skin is refreshed and replenished. To maintain the results it is advised to book in for Skin Polishing once a month.

Italian cuisine,

Little italy

14:54 UrbanModish 0 Comments

Hello Foodies,

I had an opportunity to visit Little Italy in Sharjah, and I have contemplating since then as to whether or not I should write a review of that place. If you are wondering why – read on.

I have been reading such amazing reviews of Little Italy, that I had the restaurant on my list of vegetarian restaurants to eat at during Lent.

Little Italy is easily locatable in Safeer mall. We reached at 8:30 p.m., and walked in to a dimly lit empty restaurant. They have tried to get an Italianesque ambiance with the tiny window sills decorated with flowers and the artificial vineyard etc.





The major turn off when we walked in were sticky floors, personally it isn’t something that I’m comfortable with. I pushed that aside and headed over to our table, expecting a good dinner.

We started off with minestrone soup, which was more of thin clear soup with few vegetables in it as opposed to authentic Italian minestrone soup which is thick and includes loads of vegetables often with the addition of rice or pasta.  The soup was a major let down for me.


We were served water in glasses that was unclean and had visible fingerprints on it.

Soup was accompanied with garlic bread, It was topped with oodles of cheese and tasted amazing, but it didn’t have any garlic flavor.


The only saving grace was the Pasta Barbaresca. It was served with luscious creamy sauce topped with broccoli, tomato, parmesan cheese and chilli flakes. It was super flavorsome and palatable. I dived in for a second serving almost immediately.


Pasta was followed by Pizza Meloni with exotic vegetables. It looked amazing and when we were served I could see the amount of cheese in the pizza which made my mouth water. However, the first bite was disheartening and I didn’t enjoy the Pizza as much as I did the pasta. Moreso, the server dropped cheese in my glass and didn’t bother to replace it.


For dessert, we opted for Tiramisu and Panacotta.  Tiramisu was just perfect – imagine your fork sliding through a cloud of mascarpone and whipped cream, softened by liquer spiked espresson and then settling on cocoa sprinkled on the plate – absolute heaven. Tiramisu was dessert heaven, and was much needed post the main course that failed to excite my palate.





Panacotta was served with thin slices of apple and was just the perfect end to my dinner.

Little Italy is more of an Indianised Italian cuisine. Probably we let the manager decide our dinner and hence had a bad experience. However, It would definitely take me a lot more than convincing to go back to Little Italy.
