When you walk in Regents Street you will see a knot of crowd gawking at Ted Baker’s window display. Last year they had a Santa showing his suspenders Marilyn Monroe style. This year its a turkey with bugging eyes with a crazy look about them and the fella is just so funny! I wonder if Ted Baker’s [...]
London’s shop window’s are interesting year round and are especially more interesting during Xmas time. For example in Apple Store’s window you see two tiny elves clad in green and one of them is on top of each other’s shoulders watching something on an over sized white iPhone. Quite cute actually and very festive indeed!
Shopping the high street in London is great, there is no denying that. However every year there is one high street store that stands out and when you enter you want to buy it all. Three years ago it was Dorothy Perkins. For the past two years it was River Island. This year it is [...]
As a big fan of hot chocolate and chocolate dippers I was ecstatic when I found a big collection of chocolate dippers in one of the German Xmas markets held in the UK every winter -which I will post about later-. Check out the wacky flavors they have: Strawberry & Pink Pepper, Almond Raspberry, Cappucino Orange, [...]
A few months back I read a tweet about a new bakery that was going to open soon called “Firin Bakery” that specializes in Gluten Free baked goods! Needless to say I followed them immediately and even drove all the way to their branch in Hawali to check them out but they weren’t open yet. [...]
I was invited last week to attend a new exhibition called “Pretty Little Things”. The organizer Ms. Noaf Hussein seemed very sweet and even though I couldn’t attend on the first days she contacted
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
I will ask five questions in the end of this post. The answers should be derived from this posts contents and should be easy and straightforward. The commentors who get all five answers right will enter a draw today at midnight which will determine the winner. I will not approve comments on this post until [...]
Two years ago as I was browsing Boots aisles in the UK I stumbled upon a new product called “Philips Lumea”. A compact handheld light emitting device that can be used at home to remove excess hair once and for all. At first I was skeptic. It must be a sham or something like it. [...]
You know I am really not a fan of local designers artistic creations which in 80% of the time are nothing but mere khalajeen. I don’t even own a dara3a nor have I waited for any dara3a “collection” to come out. But the other day I saw something that caught my eye and made me [...]
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
Yesterday evening the door bell rang and something was delivered. A gift basket from
I know its a bit too early for new year’s resolutions but somehow its all I can think of lately so I thought I would write it down on my blog and keep it as a reference. Publish The Chronicles of Dathra Volume II. Try the Aviation Simulator thing in 360. Might do it in [...]
Finding a decent cup of hot chocolate in Kuwait is not an easy task especially for someone who is as crazy about hot chocolate as yours truly. However I have compiled a list of the best 10 perfect hot chocolate cups you may find in Kuwait. There is nothing better in this weather than a [...]
One of the things we enjoy doing is taking long car drives, exploring new things and finding absurd things. Last weekend after breakfast in Ayyame in the Village we drove around f7a7eel and Mahboula and reached the famous Mecca street which is equivalent to share3 el ma6a3em in Salmiya. I saw many
All year round whenever we drive in residential areas we always see a pickup parked on the pavement selling some sort of fruit. Sometimes watermelons. Sometimes mini baby bananas, sometimes mangoes. Apparently what looks like tomatoes are being sold in Surra these days b3d. I never wanted to buy from them but once I saw [...]
As you read this post I was supposed to be sitting in 7leeb o Hail’s cafe in Mubarkiya enjoying one hell of a breakfast: A platter of freshly made mixed fatayer, fresh Iranian bread with qaymar o Jeben gla9, Balalee6 o Baith, Qer9 3qaili, elSan elthoor, Darabeel, and chai fa7am simmering over hot coals while [...]
Ever since I’ve seen the first Monopoly board in my aunt’s house in the early 80′s I became a huge Monopoly fan and it became my favorite board game (post). When I heard about the Monopoly Deal card game and how its a big habba now I so wanted to own one and play with [...]
I don’t know if you’ve been following the new TV series PAN AM but I am a big fan. I love the story line, the clothes, the fifties era and I am glued to my seat every Sunday to watch it. I began noticing this travel bag held by the plane stewardesses as they walked [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday I was shopping for things to entertain me in this long vacation in Virgin Media when I saw the above Angry Birds hoodie! A fan of the color brown, angry birds, and hoodies I couldn’t resist it! Price tag? 17 KD. I might as well add that they have a LOT of new funny [...]
When we were in high school we got into the habit of collecting shopping bags and taking them to school with us. The stranger and more expensive the bags the better. Unfortunately now that high school is eons away I still have that habit. I do not throw away good looking shopping bags. I still [...]
I took this picture when I was photographing the Danderma perfume (post). The spray of perfume is not that clear but I like the over all effect of the picture plus it reminds me of the lovely scent that lingered while I was taking the picture
As a vegetarian I don’t particularly enjoy sheep and meat based lunches. I’ve never liked mechabees o qowazee or their smell so I avoid them like the plaque. Also I am a breakfast person and I sleep in during the Eid so its always breakfast that’s the highlight of my Eid day! My breakfast yesterday [...]
