Hello everyone, I hope everybody is doing well. Recently, I have received plenty of messages where you are asking me if I am doing well, what happened to me, why I am not posting anything since a long time. Thank you so much for your lovely post. We are doing fantastic. The simple reason why I was not on social media is the free time we took the past months. Free time is often hard to come by. With everything from work to appointments continually demanding your time, it can often feel like it’s been months since you were able to stop and take a breather. Then if you do get the chance to stop and take a deep breath, you should use it for something useful, something which makes you bigger and better. So we did consider this time now. No travelling, no going out, no events to be attended, no school, so what you want to do? We took it pretty seriously; we kept connection solely to the family and close friends, no social media, no news. Only us, no other influence from outside. We got fed up with the entire world telling us what to do because of the Corona. We disconnected with the Corona reality, and that was the best decision we could make. We simply didn’t allow this to get us. We are fortunate, because of our situation, we didn’t have to go out for work, so it was effortless to arrange our lives around. We stayed at home for weeks and enjoyed the beautiful weather and appreciated every day free of any responsibilities and activities, literally the heaven on earth. Finally, we managed the realisation of our big dream to produce our food, we transformed the rooftop of our house into a beautiful garden, we planted so many fruits and veggies, the list would be too long to mention them all. Everything is growing proudly, and there will be time to post some pictures, don’t worry. So we spend plenty of time on creating something useful and beautiful, and we educated our self, subscribed some online classes, we got even closer with our friends, spend so much time with them as we never did before. So this entire time we invested the best we could, I can’t complain, and I know, I got bigger and better than before. Kisses Henrieta 💋

Good Sunday to everyone, how are you? We have been very busy last days working on our new garden project, but also creating plenty of new toys and dresses, we also planted some new indoor plants. Here example of our new experiment, bunnies made of socks, we made one for our lovely friend as the birthday present, after we had to do one more for Estelle to play with. What do you think? All you need is a sock and rice . Wishing everyone lovely Sunday 💋. #diytoys #diytoysforkids #allyouneedisasock #coronatimes #whattodoathomewithkids #homealonewiththekids #playwithkidsathome #simpletoysarethebest #diypresent #bunnytoys #henrietaduffner #dubailifestyle #welovedubai❤️🇦🇪 #whattodoindubaiinramadan #whattodoindubai #neverboredathome

Good morning everyone, two days ago I went first time after a five long weeks of quarantine out for shopping. Dubai is still sleeping under the lockdown, I thought it will be refreshing for my head to go out to see other people, I came back with mixed feelings and I have to admit too, that I was crying in the car, cause seeing how our lifes changed so drastically made me quite emotional. But I know all will be good very soon and we going to have our lifes back. On Youtube I found a video about positive energy, in this video we all asked take a minute or longer, every day at 11 o’clock morning and evening to send to the universe our positive energy and love, positive energy is power to change things. We started yesterday with Marcus. I know it may be strange for some of you, but what else can we do from here to make the world better? It’s worth of trying. Here the link for the video, but there are many videos in web explaining the physic and the power of our own energy. https://youtu.be/zebLytI60PQ OH, and one little thing, I symbolically wearing this dress which I made in my quarantine time, I decided to wear it for my first trip out of the house after such long time. Have a lovely and very positive day. Sending you my love and positive energy 💋.

If you are asking what to do in your free time with your dog? I have the answer! Go to the desert for camping or just grilling! Since we have our dog Juliet, I always trying to plan our activities so she can join us in most cases. When we used to had our dog in Switzerland, the planing was a pretty easy task, in Switzerland is possible to take a dog almost everywhere, even to the shopping centre, I am not kidding. Here in Dubai, it might be a little tricky, but if you do your research, you will be surprised how many places actually allow dogs. But this in the next article. Today we went to the desert not far from where we live, to check Juliet, how she will be behaving free walking in nature, as we still do not know her that much every day is a trial. We thought she maybe runs away, and we have to search for her in dunes. But all went smooth, she was happily running and sniffing like she never been free before. That made me happy. We had a fantastic sunset, weather was perfect, such a lovely afternoon. From now, we take Juliet to next desert trips! She is desert fox anyway, at least looks like one, or? What do you think? See you soon in the desert! Kisses, Henrieta

OK, now you're confused, asking what's that for a joke? How comes we celebrate Octoberfest in Dubai. No, it is not a joke. Indeed Dubai celebrates Octoberfest and that at many locations, especially hotels organizing beautiful Octoberfest events. As I love to say,"in Dubai everything is possible." This year we picked JA Beach Resort, we have chosen this location because we were allowed to take the kids with us. JA Beach resort made a great effort and decorated the entire location in Munchen design and colours. We all had a blast, especially our girls. We are looking forward to the next event. Kisses, Henrieta

Here I am, back from summer holiday, the weather in Dubai is fantastic, and I am not alone. Not that I would ever be alone, but I have a new foxy friend joining our family pack. Before the summer started, I decided to be active in animal welfare. At my birthday, I collected little financial sum for the pets rescue organization. I also helped the lovely little kitten Nacho to get over his traumatic experience and helped to save at least one of his eyes. Now was the time for a big thing. Some of you know that I had my big dog friend, the Great Dane Ortega, for over ten years, our friendship was indescribable, we were team, when I had to say goodbye to him, I promised myself not to get another dog again. I was very broken and thinking or writing about it now, makes me cry, he was my family and Tudor. Thanks to him, I am who I am. Sounds strange for some people but the ones having dogs will know what I am talking about. To have a good dog is a miracle and makes your life much happier. So here I am, coming back from the summer holidays, with my big plans to contribute to the better wealth of animals in Dubai. Yes, I am trying to take part as a rescuer, visiting events as cleaning the beaches, but I wanted more. I wanted to foster a dog for some time to make his life more cheerful while sitting in the kennel and waiting to be selected by some loving family. So I did it. To make the story short, I fostered a dog. Her name is Juliet; she is seven years old lady, looking like a fox. To be precise, not exactly the type of dog I would ever go for, but...... There is a big but, once you get to know her, once you find out how loving and a smart patient dog is she, how gentle and sometimes very frightened she is, you can't resist her beauty. Not maybe love on the first sight ( because I was used to have a much larger dog, like our darling Ortega), but after a very little time I knew, she is it. I fostered Juliet for four weeks, and the entire four weeks, I was nervous about how I am going to present Marcus the idea that we will keep her. Lucky me! Marcus had nothing against the adoption and our Estelle?! What a question, she was very brave keeping our little adopting secret for such a long time. Now we are here, Juliet is adopted, I am a very proud owner of such a lovely dog friend. I am proud of myself and Juliet, she might have some difficult time in the past, but now we are here, one for another, going towards to begin this amazing dog human friendship. My old friend Ortega is looking at me from the dogs heaven and he is proud that I finally put myself together and made this step. I know it is not just friendship, but also a big commitment and responsibility, but are we all not here to take some responsibilities? I am not buying a property or car, I am helping and supporting animal to live a life which all animals deserve to live. This is the most beautiful and fulfilling commitment, and responsibility human can have. So, guys, not everyone can adopt an animal, but please take a second to think what can You do, how can You contribute to make someone's life little happier. Little tip which probably most of the dogs owner in Dubai already know: In Jebel Ali next to the JA beach resort is a lovely dogs beach, we are very often here, especially mornings, dogs runs, swim and enjoy fun time with humans! Kisses, Henrieta

There we are, this is our new lovely and curious patient kitty cat Nacho. This little boy has been found in the garbage in Nacho chips bag, that's why the name Nacho. He had both eyes infected and could not open it, thanks to our neighbour Ryan we could take care of this little wonder, and we managed to save one eye with treatment which had to be applied every 4 hours even at night. But why not, every little patient is worthy of proper treatment, and this little angel got it. Voilà, here we are, very fit, one eye is saved, and this little creature can start his new life which I very much hope will be kind to him. Unfortunately, I can not keep him because of our two cats which took over our house and will not allow another cat to stay here. I think Nacho would have a hard time to cope with those two security guys not allowing any other cat just to come closer to our door. Anyway, we are leaving soon to Europe for some time, with very broken hart to give him back to Ryan, but I soo much hope he will have a good life as he deserves. Nacho was very much fighting to survive, so people lets show him that it was worth it. Kisses, Henrieta

I love white color not only in my interior but also to wear. Here is one of my outfits which I actually not wear that often. Asking myself, why not? I have too much cloth, sometimes I loosing myself, I also most of the time tend to pick the same outfits over and over again. Which is absolutely normal, I believe I am not the only one, but I am trying my best to change that. Today is one of those days, I have a time so lets try something new. This combination of long hight waist skirt and shoulder free blouse is so beautiful and comfortable. It looks so feminine and shows my pure soul, haha OK, forget about the pure soul, but I look so innocent I had to make those pictures. Silver armband and neckless are from Moonstone and my beloved crocodile earrings from Patrik Mavros. Our little Nacho was playing around, so I had to take some pictures of him too. This little boy is doing well, recovering from his dramatical experience. I hope he will forget everything soon and start his new life somewhere very happy soon. Now he is still with us, and we are taking care of him like a baby. Now is time to go out to show the world my innocence and pure soul! Enjoy your day. Kisses, Henrieta.

Ufff today is my birthday! It feels like we just finished my 40ties celebration and now shall I celebrate 41? OK, I will take it as it is. I will accept the fact that I am not getting younger, at least I will pretend. This time I will not write any smart and positive messages about being a mature woman. I genuinely believe that age is a funny number which from now till my last day will probably annoy me. I can not change that fact, so I will play the game. I know I feel amazing, I am happier than ever, so why bother about the age. Today will be a fun pool party celebration with my charming and very close friends. Nothing huge but with people I love. I wear my black and white stripy swimsuit from Seafolly and my favorite stripy hat, all fits to my garden furniture and decoration. Let's not forget, it might be a small party, but always stylish ;-). My wish: I wish to myself to be healthy, active and strong. To be always there for my loving family if they need me. I wish to continue my life as it is. To be every day with my beautiful daughter Estelle, because I just can't get enough of her. To be good wife and friend to my husband Marcus. Keep the most amazing and genuine friendship with my wonderful mum and brother. Keep in touch with all my dear friends. Last but not least, to contribute this planet in a positive way, my mission to help animal welfare has been my passion since ever, I love to be stronger and never give up. To all of you turning 40, ladies heads up! Don't believe there is something tragical happening, maybe we need more makeup than before, but you know what? At this age, we can afford it! I remember when I was 20, I didn't need makeup at all, lucky me, because I didn't even have the money to buy it! So all is OK! Enjoy life and never forget to be stylish on any occasion; maybe someone is watching you? Likes you? Want you? Every day is full of surprises ;-). Friends, for today it is all, now I will enjoy my birthday party and eat tons of my delicious cake! Kisses, Henrieta

In Dubai it is summer, and it is pretty hot, but we have to keep up with that what we have, so today is beach time. Styled like always, my old bikini from Italy bought in 2016, OMG they are still in good condition, maybe because my bikini repertoire is so extensive I barely worn them last years. Anyway, they fit perfect, my black hat from Switzerland, don't ask which brand, it's too long to remember. Are you asking about my jewellery? Yes, I need them, yes I go swimming with my jewellery. Look, it's simple; you buy yourself jewellery, where you would like to wear them? Are you waiting for a special occasion? Hmm, by some of you this occasion might be just a couple of time a year, you really want to wait that long? Not me, life is fun every day, so my jewellery goes out of the box, voilà let's go on the beach. Kisses, Henrieta
