Dare to move

Stuff that has everyone all agog with excitement

Swatch has always tried to create a stir with bold new collections - the aim has always been to 'stand out from the crowd'. Well, they've done it again with their new SKIN collection aka their thinnest watch line. Introducing 11 minimalist styles in two new case sizes for men and women, the new line employs a distinct wave element that encourages its wearer to embrace movement and the freedom that comes with it.
Watch their social media channels, on which they will tell stories of transformation under the hashtag #YOURMOVE. The watches are available at all Hour Choice stores in the UAE.
COOKING FEVER
If cooking is a life skill you believe your kids should be well acquainted with, Italian restaurant Ricetta, at Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai, has opened its kitchen doors this month to help your kids whip up a storm.
Taking place every Saturday of the month till May 20, the restaurant is inviting children between the ages of six and 12 years to pick up their spatulas and learn to create pizzas, pastas, and crostata cakes with the help of their head chef Alex Sebastianutti.
"Cooking is such a wonderful skill to give your kids. If they can rustle up wholesome home cooked food, it'll always keep them healthy and creative. And as they grow up, it's a great skill to share with hungry housemates and make friends too!" he says. Call 04-3977444 for more info.
