Atharie Al Salem, the woman behind Instagram page @thebahrainivegan, shares some secrets.
Early bird or night owl?
Night owl for sure! Though I do wish I was an early bird, I love sunrises and yummy breakfasts.
What three things don’t you leave the house without?
My phone, wallet and my favorite pair of sunglasses.
Puppies or kittens?
Puppies, I have two dogs and love them to bits.
What’s your favourite pizza topping?
Mushrooms, they work so well with some vegan cheese.
Flats or heels?
Heels. Being a dancer, I like to be tall and light on my feet, and heels keep those legs toned!
Dream holiday destination (money no object)?
Spain for sure, such a beautiful country with even more beautiful people and music.
What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done?
Ziplining + Fear of heights = AHHHHHH!
Book that has most influenced your life?
Fallen by Lauren Kate. I read it as an adolescent and it really shaped my artistic views as the characters were angels and described so elegantly… my artistic aesthetic is based on Daniel’s violet iridescence!
Best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
You can do anything you set your mind to. If you are too scared to do something, count in your head or out loud: three, two, one – and then start. All the power you need is within you, you just need to START, everything will flow easily from then on. – Mai Al Umran.
