Rama Mourad, a UAE-based fashion and travel influencer, recently shared her best and worst picks across various topics, including travel, books, and concerts.
Best and Worst TV Shows/Films
Mourad named "Friends" as her all-time favorite TV show, describing it as timeless, comforting, and endlessly rewatchable. On the other hand, she considers horror films the worst, admitting they haunt her for days, yet she still ends up watching them.
Best and Worst Jobs
Her best job has been content creation, especially brand trips that allow her to experience countries in unique ways. The worst job involved a campaign lacking creativity, where every piece of content followed a rigid format with no room for personality, feeling robotic and unfulfilling.
Best and Worst Fashion Trends of 2026
Mourad loves the return of polka dots, a trend she has adored for years. Conversely, she dislikes Tabi shoes with their split-toe design.
Accessories for a Little Black Dress
She recommends statement gold jewelry and sleek black heels as the best accessories, while overly flashy items that detract from the dress's simplicity are the worst.
Best and Worst Advice
The best advice she received is: "Consistency will take you places motivation never can." The worst advice is: "Play it safe." She believes the best things in life come from taking risks.
Best and Worst Books
Her favorite book is "The 48 Laws of Power," which changed her understanding of human nature and relationships. The worst books are those that try too hard to sound deep without offering substance, often leading her to stop reading.
Best and Worst Things to Do When Feeling Low or Good
When feeling low, spending quality time with family and loved ones helps her reset. When feeling good, she avoids overcommitting, as making too many promises can become overwhelming.
Best and Worst Holiday Destinations
Mourad's top destinations are Japan and Italy. Japan feels magical with its peaceful, detail-oriented culture, while Italy is emotional and alive, embodying summer. She doesn't consider any destination truly bad but struggles with overcrowded, touristy places.
Best and Worst School Subjects
She loved history and literature for their insights into cultures and emotions. Math was her least favorite subject, as they never got along.
Best and Worst for a Productive Day
Starting the day with coffee and a workout while listening to music ensures productivity. Scrolling social media for "five minutes" is the worst, as it often leads to losing focus and comparing oneself to others.
Best and Worst Musicians/Concerts
Mourad connects with songs more than artists but has been enjoying Sabrina Carpenter lately. She doesn't believe in "worst" artists, as music is personal. The best concert she attended was Beyoncé, with unmatched energy and stage presence. A badly organized concert is the worst, as it ruins the experience.
