I’ve always had a thing for greeting cards and stationary stores. One of my sheer joys when going abroad is spending an hour or so in stationary stores, looking at different quirky greeting cards and gift wrapping supplies. I always stock up when
Dear fellow Kuwaitis, there is no need to lug tins of Garrett’s Popcorn on the plane home from Dubai for their first branch in Kuwait is now open in The Grand Avenues! I tried to take enough pictures but many
We were invited by M. H. Al-Shaya Company yesterday to attend the bloggers & media tour of the newly opened Grand Avenue, or what else is known as the Avenues Phase III extention. The tour was due to begin an hour before the official opening of the
I’ve just returned home from a trip to the UK and in my bags were a multitude of new and old Cadbury’s chocolate bars. There are three new Cadbury’s Dairy Milk flavors and they are all very
Celebrating the occasion of Eid Al-Adha I received a nice Eid gift from Diet Center. Inside was 3 boxes of Arabian sweets usually devoured during Eid, all of which are diet friendly and
Around three weeks ago I was invited to attend a new weekly event held in Napket Kuwait every Wednesday night which is the Jazz night. Every Wednesday Napket in the Avenues transforms so its guests can enjoy their meal in an
I’ve been away from my beloved blog so long I feel like I’m about to dust cobwebs off the wordpress panel. I am putting together this post now while watching Halloween III and with the rain pounding on the window. The mood couldn’t have been any creepier I suppose so
The year was 2003. I had just gotten my new car then and I looked for the perfect thing to hang from its rear view mirror. Then I was in Swaroviski, I remember clearly it was the Salhiya branch, when I saw the crystal snowflake Xmas ornament. I knew right then and there that this [...]
Ever since I saw the movie Julie & Julia I was itching to know more about Julia Child, the American culinary legend. I got myself the book that was partially responsible for inspiring the movie, My Life in France, and a while ago I began reading. The book, published in 2006, describes a period of [...]
L’occitane’ branch in the Avenues has re-opened its doors after renovations a few weeks ago and L’Occitane threw a nice event to celebrate the re-opning. I couldn’t make it on the opening day but I did pass by the branch to
The other day I received a beautiful invitation from a newly opened nail parlor in Kuwait, Candy Nails. The design and color theme of
A while ago I wrote a post about visiting a therapist in Kuwait and whether that is still considered a social No-No (post). Almost every response I got was “It was OK” and “There is nothing to it”. My question still stands though, is it? God knows many of us need therapy in different phases [...]
I received an email yesterday and the sender was “Kuwaitna Government“. A tad confused, I was skeptical at first. Its not every day that you get an email from your government on your personal email. However, it was indeed an email from our government with a personal message from the Minister of Commerce! [tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNPrzfqbihQ[\tube] A personal invitation from [...]
To continue my post regarding what should a tourist in Kuwait do and visit when they arrive, this post is about what I think is the most popular places of interest in Kuwait. Not shopping -previous post- and not restaurants and where to eat -upcoming post-. Since I’m writing this post because one of my [...]
Yesterday I was invited by Al-Shayaa company to rediscover the recently re-opened Dean & Deluca store in the Avenues. Being a fan of D&D who missed the place badly when they closed down for renovation meant I
Ever since I moved to my new apartment and began redecorating I’ve gone into a frenzy of a supressed obsession of mine: buying tea sets and tableware. I don’t seem to be able to stop searching around for delicious designs and wanting to buy them. One of my favorite shopping destinations is
Is not following someone on Instagram -or any social media application- considered as a personal insult? Should we read too much into it? I’m not really sure how to answer the above question for I myself have conflicting feelings towards it. Do we expect people to follow us in the virtual world if they knew [...]
Last week I had a movie night gathering in my place that I will post about soon and if you follow me on instagram you probably have seen it. One of my guests was the fabulous Um 3zooz who arrived bearing
A while ago I received a very cute invitation for a VIP treatment at a newly opened Express Hair Blow Dry Salon located in
A week after I returned from my vacation in the UK I received a package from Mada company with the words “Danderma’s Blog Office Line”. As I was in the middle of unpacking and
Old traditional Kuwaiti boxes like the one above come in a variety of sizes and designs. I realized recently that I have a few of this box too many. I wonder what am supposed to hide inside them though. Then it got me wondering: what did Kuwaitis use them for in the olden days? Cooking? [...]
I keep getting asked about my iPhone cover so I will post about it once and for all. Around a month ago during Ramadan I was reading Confashion’s blog (post) when she posted about a booth in an expo of a local business, Circus Maximos, selling fabulous
