World of Colour
In case you haven't already enrolled for the 'Happiest 5k on the Planet', this is your last chance to get early bird tickets! The Color Run, presented by Daman's ActiveLife, will take place at Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, on March 12, and tickets are still available to buy at Adventure HQ stores and online.
The popular event that saw more than 12,000 participants in last year's Dubai race is expecting an equally impressive crowd this time around, all of whom will be showered in vibrant coloured powder as they pass through the course's five colour stations. Perfect for first-time runners and those looking to lead a healthier lifestyle, The Color Run provides an untimed and family-friendly exercise environment.
Early Bird tickets are priced at Dh140 each, and kids aged four and below run for free.

Happy homes 
Tired of the kids scribbling on the walls? Scared to take your eyes off them if they've got a marker in their hand? Window fashion brand Sedar have introduced a whiteboard wallpaper - and it may just be the answer to your toddler-inspired impromptu wall art woes.
Plastic and magnetic, the wallpaper - from Dh150/metre - allows your child to play and hang their favourite drawings on the wall. It is durable, easy to install, and comes in rolls - just like wallpaper. Place it in a frame or across an entire wall - it's your call.

Batting for Tissot
Ace cricketer Virat Kohli was recently announced as the brand ambassador for Tissot in Mumbai. In a release, the Swiss brand stated that the cricketer not only "mirrors the Swiss brand's mastery for breaking new ground and its uncompromising commitment to excellence", but also oozes style and confidence that makes him a youth icon.
President of Tissot, François Thiébaud, said, "Tissot is a brand with strong heritage, just like Indian culture. In addition, we have a deep connection with sports. Therefore, Virat, who is one of the best cricketers in the world, is the perfect ambassador for us."
In the brand's first-ever campaign with the sportsman, Virat is seen in his cricketing gear flaunting Tissot's latest T-Touch Expert Solar, the first tactile watch to be powered by solar energy. An iconic watch for an iconic man.
