The story of four Devious Maids: A group of Latina maids working for the rich elite of Beverly Hills uncover their employers’ secrets, ranging from corruption and cheating to murder. Each season follows the same group of characters as they solve mysteries, navigate their dynamics with their odd employers, and — more often than not — find new romantic partners. The series is a perfect blend of genres, mixing comedy with drama and thriller, all wrapped in a group of charming protagonists that we can’t help but love despite their very questionable choices. The series stars Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Roselyn Sanchez, and Judy Reyes. All four seasons are available to stream on Disney+.

⚽ The Pharaohs will face off against Guinea today in Marrakesh at 9pm for matchday 5 of this year’s AfCON qualifiers.

The UEFA Nations’ League semi-final takes place tonight at 9:45pm, as the Netherlands will be playing against Croatia at the Dutch De Kuip stadium. The victor will qualify for the final and their opponent will be decided tomorrow after the match between Spain and Italy.

🥖 EAT THIS TONIGHT-

From the brains behind What the Crust, Daily Kneads caters to the rest of your doughy cravings: Sourdough bakeryDaily Kneads, located at The Nox in New Cairo, serves up freshly baked goods — all with a sourdough base. The menu includes the usual suspects when sourdough is involved — bread loaves of different shapes, sizes, and varieties, which you can buy by the loaf or use as the base of a sandwich. The sweet treats also fill the display windows at Daily Kneads, with options ranging from pain au chocolat to Danish pastries and pains aux raisins (also known as escargots). We particularly enjoyed the cinnamon roll, which has a soft, gooey center and perfectly made icing. The bakery is currently in its soft launch phase with a limited daily selection of baked goods.

💡 UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor andMiddle Class Do Nothas been a favorite among some of our readers, so we decided to explore the book ourselves. The premise of the book is that author Robert Kiyosaki observes the differences between his father — the “poor dad” — and his father’s friend — the “rich dad.” The author’s father is an academic: He’s highly educated, focused on academic success, and advocates job security and living within one’s income. However, he realized that he had no financial security. Meanwhile, his friend’s father, an entrepreneur who worked on cultivating his assets and making selective investment decisions, has financial security. This difference baffled him and from here he decided to explore why his friend’s dad had financial success. From the “rich dad” he begins to glean pearls of wisdom — all amounting to the importance of financial education. The lessons that he learns include how to drop liabilities such as debt and to focus on having assets that can generate income such as investing in businesses or in real estate. The book’s use of parables to explain how to have a healthy and positive relationship with money makes it a good read, even for those of us who dislike too much technical jargon.
