1. Charity done right in the UAE
A group of orphan kids had an amazing time at the movies, thanks to the initiative of UAE resident Hassan Sajwan, who tweeted to local telephone company Du. He never imagined that they would respond this way. He started out with this tweet.

2. Unicorn Frappuccino
Everyone is obsessing over this new pink drink from Starbucks. Little do they know that this drink contains 50g of sugar. That is more than twice the recommended sugar intake per person per day!
3. Another crazy eyebrow trend
As if feather brows weren’t stupid enough, the next trend is the barbed wire eye brow.
4. This Dutch mother who sounds exactly like Whitney Houston
People are in awe of this amazing 41-year-old mother, whose voice sounds just like the late Houston's. She is on her way to becoming an internet sensation!
