Well even Mesho enjoyed their fries. Our recommendation is to go for the Kuwait Burger with a side of Veggie Fritas. Well, that is actually Her recommendation. His recommendation is to add some Kuwait fries with it instead.

Well, I got to say that only Zain social media team can make social media day work. With #SMDay coming in 10 dys time Zain released a teaser for their celebration. They made a big impact last year and I am sure they will make a big one this year.

Separation Anxiety

Since before I had my baby I decided to stay home with him for a few years to be able to take care of him and watch him grow everyday, something I knew I wouldn’t be able to do if I stayed at my previous job.

I don’t regret this decision at all. I was there when he mumbled his first word, when he started trying to roll over and crawled. I watched every step he took trying to stand up on his own and was there when he took his first step. I knew these moments were priceless and I wouldn’t want to miss them for the world.

But this decision also had to come with, well I don’t want to call it a negative side, but it came with a package.

He got very attached to me, which is a normal thing, a child would always be attached too his care giver, but his fear of separation is not helping me get anything done sometimes. He would really get upset if I left without him or let him play in the playground with his nanny. he would cry and refuse to play.

It breaks my heart when I see him like that but I cant be around him 24/7 ! I want him to be social and not too attached to me or his dad.

It even got worse when his nanny left he got even more attached to us, me and his father, and now that the new nanny is here he really hates her and wont give her a chance. even though she is trying but he wont let her changes his clothes or feed him.I cant leave him with her anywhere he would cry non stop even if my parents were there to watch over him :(

I thought about getting him into a nursery but I just cant see that happening I wouldn’t bare leaving him crying for hours I’m afraid his fears would get even worse. He will be 2 years old in September so he cant talk or understand that I will be back if I left.

I read over the internet some articles about toddlers separation anxiety  and I hope the tips I got will do some good. I know for sure they will take time and a bit of a cold heart :((

I should have wrote this post a while ago but did not get the chance too. we have been really busy and I finally have the time and mood to blog…

William Sonoma opened their first store in the Middle East in The Grand Avenue on November 2012.

A while ago they invited us to announce that they  are now offering a wedding and gift service to their customers. It was my first visit to the store and certainly not last after seeing their kitchenware section. its a must visit !

The store is a lot more similar to Pottery Barn when it comes to quality and classic themes, you will notice that for sure when you first enter the store. only its more luxurious I think. Which makes a great place to get wedding gifts.

along with the furniture section there is a gorgeouse kitchenware section…

For the wedding gift service you can start by registering a dedicated wedding gift concierge that will help you creat a personalized list of the items you wish for. Friends and family can then select from that list to get you as a gift !

Even though its not a very familiar idea here in the Middle East, I think its a very smart way to help newlyweds to start up their lives with gifts that they actually want and picked up themselves.

 

They Try…We Laugh

The Kuwaiti football team for women had some pretty tough beatings from Jordan and Uzbekistan in the last few days and they will be facing Lebanon sometime today.

While people complain about politics, traffic, education, health and the list goes on. They thought that the Kuwaiti team is pretty entertaining and a place to laugh it off. Forgetting that those women represent the country no matter what you think.

The problem doesn’t come with the loss only, they talked about the way they looked and talked. As if this is the problem we face.

The problem we face is the lack we have in developing this country. While some people are wasting time (yes in my point of view) on if the one vote took their dignity away and others reached the parliament and proved that there is no one worthy of democracy in this country. We attack them and laugh at them.

Our problem? nothing really, we just enjoy watching bad things happen to Kuwait as long as our ways are not going through.

Sports is one of the main ways to represent your country, the Olympics is just an example on how good a country can be represented even we we do not lose. I say instead of protesting that one vote, protest about having better sport facilities for athletes. Protest to have proper laws for sports.

The girls don’t have a national league to play and train. While you sit back and laugh it off, remember they went out there to do something you don’t even think of doing.

Also, I do blame the football association for sending the team to play in the official qualifiers for the Asian cup before giving them time and proper attention for a few years.

Again …Beautylicious held an exciting event allowing us bloggerttes to meet up with the one and only Zoya and her lovely husband Michael Reyzis!

I have to say that after this event I will wear Zoya nail polish and Zoya only! here is why…

 

Did you know that Zoya nail polish helps keep your nails moisturized. It also protects and reinforce nails to reduce daily wear-and-tear that can lead to weakness!

They are free of toxin Which makes them safe for pregnant women to wear! they are completely free of harmful industrial chemicals that are known to cause cancer and birth defects that most nail polish has.

Now during the event Zoya and her husband talked about how they started the beauty empire in the US. She left her career as a pianist and got into the cosmetology industry then started her own salon Zoya in Cleveland. Then she collaborated with her husband who’s is an advanced chemist to create the world most known nail polish brand.

After  the interesting story we got a sneak peek of the fall polish colors, they asked us not to take picture though.

one of the bloggers shared her story with Zoya and how it became the only nail polish she could wear after suffering from really bad allergic reactions on her skin  from chemicals in other nail polish brands. Doctor recommended her Zoya nail polish! she gave Zoya her picture from the invitationand painted all the shades she owns from zoya :D

IMG_9818

And that was one real and eye opening story which convinced me to make that decision.

We left with a goody bag that contains 3 sets of Zoyas Summer colors to try out … and OH MY GOD was I happy! I was like a kid with lots of colorful yummy candies :-*

I will be sharing pictures of my favorite shades on instagram.

At the end I would like to Thank Beautylicious for bringing awesome beauty brands to our hands and spreading awareness about them.

Zoya Nail Polish is distributed by Beautylicious.
