Like really, honestly, beaming-from-the-inside happy? Spending time with family? Pouring your energy into a lifelong passion? Ticking off a bucket list travel destination? For me, it's all of those. But it's not just the grand, life-altering stuff. Over time, I've realised that there are so many little things that have the power to bring big joy into my everyday life. Gratitude journaling, switching-off with a sound healing session, and listening to Andrea Bocelli (whose Abu Dhabi gig last month was nothing short of spellbinding) are just three of them.
Now more than ever, it feels as though we could all use a little uplifting. So this month felt like the perfect time to present our happiness issue. From p15, you'll find 25 wonderful ways to make you feel good. Whether it's getting creative with a pottery class, giving back by volunteering at a dog shelter, or heading out into nature for a weekend of glamping, this issue is here to inspire you to find your own slice of happiness by doing something different. And you never know, you might just find a new passion along the way.
We couldn't present the February issue without a sprinkling of romance, so in this issue we've also date-nighted our way around Abu Dhabi's most romantic restaurants. From cosy pizzerias to haute Japanese hangouts with sweeping city vistas, start making Valentine's Day plans from p23.
Enjoy the issue,
