Yesterday we hosted the first Ramadan ghabga in our new apartment and we had so much fun! There is nothing better than a cosey home gathering with good food, good company, and laughter. The best thing is that it didn’t take much effort at all, just place
Insha2 Allah this time next week, it will be Ramadan, and we would all be thirsty and many many of us will be dreaming of drinking an icy cold glass of Vimto. I am not a Vimto addict like my fellow Kuwaitis, I drink it bel sena 7sena, but my husband is a big Vimto [...]
This is not a recipe per say, and its not even mine. My husband has the tendencie to go bersek at the fruit & vegetables section in the Co-op and buy things in bulk then we would be stuck. So we were contemplating what to do with one of the huge Honeydew
My favorite local Kuwait designer f2o whom I’ve always been dazzled by her designs has recently revamped her website and as of yesterday the recent updates were up and live on www.f2odesigns.com I like the new design so much. I especially liked the T-shirt designs section as it has a picture of the chwaiha hoodie worn [...]
We had guests over for dinner yesterday and I had a very short notice to prepare for it. I usually like to have 10+ days in order to pour over the menu and make my selection and purchase whatever is necessary. However, the food business is established in a way that you can have a [...]
Last week I wrote about the newest burger join in Kuwait Hashtag burger (post). The thing is being a vegetarian I didn’t try the burgers of course but
In a dark alley right besides Solo Pizza Neapolitan sits a little burger joint sporting a very hip identity of not having a name or a sign on the door, the name is
Love Ikea? Admire their beautiful kitchens? Thinking of getting yourself one? Read this before you do. A few years ago when I moved to my old apartment I had gone to Ikea and gotten the best service ever in fitting a small kitchen. I loved my kitchen so much I had to move it with [...]
I’ve recently got my hands on a new product from the UK’s markets: Cadbury Chocolate Flavored Philadelphia Cheese! At first I thought: Cadbury and Philadelphia cheese? Yuck! Of course I did not even think of trying it but my husband bravely took a slice of toast and spread it with a dollop of the concoction. He [...]
My Bu Tootee’s birthday falls right before the National Day & Liberation Day celebrations. This year however he wanted me to bake him a cake but since we still have no kitchen he refused to have a cake from any where else! Nevertheless I wasn’t going to let his birthday pass without anything so I [...]
A while back and while I was still in the UK I learned that f2o was selling hoodies! If you know me you would know that I am crazy about 3 things; Denim Jackets, T-Shirts, and Hoodies! I can never have enough of those three. Its like an addiction. A hoodie from f2o? A MUST [...]
A few years back as I had just finished my tea at the Yellow Cafe in Selfridges I saw a small ice cream place that was set up right opposite the Yellow Cafe. At first glance you wouldn’t think its an ice cream place as its styled in a funky gothic style with black and [...]
Our friend Meshary was in 52 Degrees the other day and took some pictures of the newest items they have in stock for me. I
My husband’s friend was recently in Dubai when he saw the new Nespresso capsule flavors so he very generously brought my husband all three new
We went a few days back to Milk Cafe after we heard so many positive reviews about it. It looked like a good spot to have breakfast -the name is Milk after all-. When I read my fellow
Remember my post where I asked for help in finding a place to make my Bu Tootee 7ajj giveaways (post)? I was running out of time and I was in the Avenues the other day with Ansam & Pink Girl having breakfast when we decided to go look for giveaways in either Pierre Marcolini or [...]
On 10 November there was suddenly a spur of attention regarding the date 11/11/2011 and there was an announcement that the newly completed Burj Al-Hamra will celebrate its completion on that date with a spectacular lights display starting from 7 PM till 12 AM. I predicted that it would be
Yesterday was a gloomy day. I was blue and sniffing and sad when I was asked if I had ordered a cake? I hadn’t and the driver had already dropped the cake off and left so I went to see the
A while ago I dropped my Butootee to the airport and watched him pass the gates on his way to 7ajj, leaving me alone with the feeling of someone squeezing my heart until I could no longer breathe. For a moment there I thought about running after him, clinging to his dishdasha and asking to [...]
When I was packing my husband’s bags for 7ajj I had this overwhelming feeling of wanting to surprise him with something when he unpacks. I thought about stuffing the No3man dolly but then I was afraid No3man would decide to stay in Mecca and never want to come back. I thought about writing him a [...]
Since Bu Tootee is going with a 7amla he must pack his bags and ship them before he travels. Yesterday we finally packed his bags and today he should drop it to the 7amla. I am listing what he -well I to be concise- packed for future reference and for anyone who might need ideas: [...]
The most important thing to buy for a man going to 7ajj is his e7ram. Butootee had already bought 3 normal e7rams but he heard that there is a certain type of e7ram that can hold itself up and doesn’t need a belt or pins. It has velcro strap that is stapled on and sticks [...]
I went to Kuwait’s book fair early this morning. Thankfully it wasn’t very crowded for people were still in their beds when we went. It took us around
I have a question for you. How many of you after watching a movie pick up their own empty boxes of popcorn and coke and dispose of them in the trash cans outside? Raise you hands please. Why is it whenever a movie ends, the cinema looks like a war zone? Empty coke cups flying [...]
