“I’m a city girl”

Rima Khoreibi, founder of Micaroon Makeup, on her love for dancing and the easygoing life... and being alive 24/7

The number one item on your lust list?

I’m a bit of a gadget geek, so I think it will have to be a 3-D printer!

Favourite vacation spot

I can’t choose one — it’s a tie between Tokyo and Istanbul. I’m very much a city girl, so my favourite vacation spots are in cities that are alive 24/7, and those two places definitely qualify.

Who would you like to be reborn as and why?

I don’t think I’d like to be reborn as anyone else. I’m very blessed and appreciate what I have in this life.

Your fitness mantra?

My fitness regime is very simple... walking. And when I want to add some cardio, I dance. I’m obsessed with dancing, but I’m not doing enough of it.

The first thing you think about when you wake up 
in the morning?

The first thing I think about when I wake up is usually the schedule for my day ahead.

The app on your smartphone you click on most often…

Instagram!

Favourite hangout in the UAE?

At the beach with family and friends.

A way in which you are trying to change your life this year?

With the launch of the Micaroon makeup brand, there’s already been a major change in my life this year, and it’s very busy and exciting. I would like to find more time for working out though.

Favourite movie character of all time and why?

My favourite all-time movie character is Baloo from 
The Jungle Book, which is also one of my favourite 
movies. I love Baloo because he has such a great outlook on life... so positive, friendly and easygoing. He never stresses out and, as a result, finds the best solutions. Plus, he’s a super loyal, fun friend!

Favourite cuisine and restaurant in Dubai

My favourite cuisine is Middle Eastern, which is best homemade. My favourite restaurants in Dubai — probably LPM for lunch and Qbara for dinner.
