Take a walk in the mall
If you want to go on a walk but avoid the treadmill, the RWG Community is organising indoor walking at the Cenomi Mall of Arabia. Walking is widely held to be one of the most beneficial forms of basic exercise, and step-counting is a great motivational tactic for achieving fitness goals. But we think it’s also a brilliant way to keep an eye out for the summer sales while burning calories.
Location: Mall of Arabia, An Nuzhah, Jeddah 23532
Timings: Aug 18, 10am to 11am

Not your average sweet treats
While we’re personally a bit overwhelmed by the Labubu craze, it’s hard to ignore the buzz. And this time, we’re shining the spotlight on Leybubu, a limited-edition of irresistibly mischievous treats, created by the renowned Leylaty Group, which blend playful charm with indulgent flavour. Inspired by cheeky, wide-eyed characters wrapped in costumes, the Leybubu cakes are handcrafted with precision and personality. These edible collectibles come in two rich flavour combos – white chocolate marshmallow and raspberry and milk chocolate marshmallow and lotus, making every bite a decadent delight. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Sweets by Leylaty also introduces the Leybubu cookies – a bite-sized take on the beloved characters, stamped with expressive faces and sandwiched with velvety peanut butter, and a smooth raspberry jam centre. They’re also fully customisable with edible trinkets of your choosing. Simply share an image, and the team transforms it into a bespoke work of art.
