hello there!
Welcome to That Girl Blog!

I’m Mima, the voice behind this lifestyle blog, where I embrace the “that girl” ethos—confident, mindful, and dedicated to slow living while exploring the world.
Here, I share my passion for travel, wellness, yoga, and the art of slow living, all while soaking up the vibrant culture of Dubai.
Slow Living Lifestyle:
My journey to a slow living lifestyle began 10 years ago when my husband and I moved from Brazil to Australia. It was in Western Australia, where we lived for over a year, that I truly learned to slow down. Tending to my own veggie garden, learning to cook from scratch, and meditating daily at secluded beaches laid a strong foundation for embracing a slower pace. These experiences have empowered me to maintain that balance amidst the bustling life of Dubai, savoring every moment along the way.
Exploring the World:
Living for over six years in Dubai Marina, a testament to big city life, I’ve also visited over 15 countries and lived in four others. Travel has broadened my perspective, teaching me diverse approaches to life’s challenges. Working with people from around the globe has also been a valuable and sometimes challenging experience, enriching my understanding and constantly providing new insights.
Whether it’s finding the perfect yoga retreat or enjoying a quiet moment with a good book, my blog aims to inspire you to embrace every aspect of life—not just as “that girl,” but as the best version of yourself.
Through my travels, I’ve learned the beauty of discovering new places and cultures, and I’m excited to share tips and itineraries to help you explore with intention, traveling slowly whenever possible.

- Travel guides packed with insider tips for exploring Dubai and beyond.
