R I W A Y A , So far

While you read this, take a look at your hands for a second. Grab the earrings you are wearing or touch the necklace dangling from your neck. You are touching stories, stories only you can tell. It starts from the moment you buy or receive each piece and it never quite ends, because anecdotes and memories keep on adding up and shaping the tale as you wear it day after day.This exact notion combined with our passion for jewelry (we have been making it for over 9 years) and the stories we share here (when we travel and when we stay), gave way to R I W A Y A.

Pretty Little Surprise

When it comes to beauty products, we are constantly looking for the newest of the new, the best of the good, the hippest of the trend, or simply just what works for us, sometimes just to know more about it and more than often to try it and see if our search yielded our new favorite thing. So it feels really good when someone helps you do the homework. Last week we met up with the team behind a new concept in Lebanon, Pretty Little Box, and we instantly felt that the needed backup had just arrived. Continue reading “Pretty Little Surprise” →

The Speed of Scent

It is no surprise that the sense of smell can awaken our deepest memories in just an instant. Vivid images start overflowing our minds as we smell the Turkish coffee we use to drink back home, the softener that our mom dutifully poured into our school uniforms and the perfume you were wearing when you had your first kiss.

House of Rings

When the brain half rejects all the images going through your eyes but is still able to spot and engrave deep in your memory a ring worn by a random stranger as she walks past you in Starbucks, you know you have an obsession. It is a fixation to which you have dedicated yourself for so long, you no longer remember how it began. Continue reading “House of Rings” →

It Can Always be New Year’s

It’s 2016 and so much has already changed. It’s not even mid-January and we grieved, celebrated and grieved again. The Man Who Sold The World left it at 69, DiCaprio won a Golden Globe making the Oscar feel so close while Messi picked up his fifth Ballon d’Or, untouchably changing history once more. On a smaller scale that does not include legends or gold but highly affects our day to day, Netflix was legally welcomed in our homes but with limited access that might ruin it for all.
