Stay Clean & Dry All The Time



Don’t you just hate it when you are all ready to go out and then you suddenly feel that dreadful dampness down there? There is no need to worry anymore, as the panty liners by Carefree will make sure you are fully protected, leaving you feeling clean and dry all day long.You’re probably thinking, are panty liners the same as sanitary napkins? Panty liners are the smaller, more comfortable version of sanitary napkins that should be used when you don’t have your period. They are so thin that you don’t even notice they are there. Their role is to protect your underwear, absorb unwanted odours and are convenient for light discharge. They are also great for before and after your period as they effectively absorb small amounts of blood, which is perfect for protecting your underwear from staining.
 Carefree panty liners are ideal for daily use due to their careful design that ensures one of the most sensitive parts of your body is protected. The top layer is made from a soft cotton-like material that absorbs dampness into the middle layer leaving you feeling dry and comfortable. The middle layer neutralises unpleasant odours leaving you feeling fresh. The back layer protects your underwear, making sure that no dampness leaks through.
 Remember, intimate hygiene is not an option; it is something that must be adhered to everyday. From panty liners, to intimate wipes and intimate washes, you’re not only maintaining your intimate hygiene for yourself, but also for your husbands or future husbands. Carefree panty liners are here to protect your intimate area and ensure you are always comfortable. Let Carefree take care of you.

Join The Tea Club

Founded by Naemah Matar and her son Fayad AlDossary in Baharian and expanded to Dubai, in the steps to open around 29 Tea Salons in the whole Gulf area. After traveling the world and staying in so many hotels and having tea there.They decided to open their first Tea Club back in Bahrain, bringing tea leaves from all over the world. They brought tea from cities you never saw on the map, when I met them over team, we spent hours talking about the benefits of drinking tea, and the weird and funny story of drinking tea traditions within different cultures. The tea club has a huge seating area just in front of the Dubai Mall dancing fountain, I must say it is the best location ever. They have outdoors and indoors section. Beside the unique collection of tea they serve, they also serve all kind of different desserts for tea time, and they serve fine dinner and fresh juices (highly recommended the fresh cucumber and mint smoothie). You can also buy different kind of teas from there by the weigh. There is a glass room in the middle of the restaurant where all the rare kind of teas are. I entered the room, where Mr. Fayad kindly explained to us how they preserve tea to optimize the taste the benefits of the ingredients inside. I saw a special tea leaves that comes from China ad served in the very traditional weddings where after guests drink their tea, the leftovers from leaves is recollected for the bride to scrub her body with, to protect her from the evil eye. How interesting?!











 I have tried the chocolate mint tea, it was my first time to try it, it tasted like after 8 chocolate, the soursop was delicious, it has a different taste that I had tasted before in a fresh juice containing Soursop. My ultimate favorite was the Lavender tea. it is a very relaxing infusion of fresh Lavander that helps you relax and sometimes sleep. I don't advise to drink quantities of it and drive after, but it will work miracles if you want to relax or have insomnia. For the food I had tasting of a lot of the menu items, the mini burgers was beyond delicious, the shrimp tampoura with almonds, the ravioli that is stuffed with mushrooms and pistachio were to die for. The staff is highly trained and know a lot of info. about all kinds of tea, they are so passionate as much as the owners are. They are not just tea shop owners they are passionate people and collectors who want to share their passion with everyone.

My Can't Leave The House Without Product

On a one good day I decided to go pamper myself a little bit in the spa, so I went to have an oxygen facial to deeply moisturize my face, as the last period I was noticing that my face has become dry at the last period of time. When the tough tempered Russian beautician started applying the cleanser on my face, she noticed how dry my face was, she kept on asking me a lot of questions
about my daily beauty routine, and my lifestyle. It turned out that I don’t drink enough water (you are supposed to drink at least 8 full glasses of water every day, seriously who could do that, whoever does that, I am sure he spends the other part of the day at the loo. Other thing that increases the dryness of the face, is staring to the laptops/TVs screens more than 8 hours a day, which I over exceed significantly. But when it came to the question do you apply a sunscreen before going out every day, hearing my answer, the beautician showed her aggressive Russian side, she was nearly shouting to me, hearing that

I never wear sun screen except by the beach or if I am wearing makeup already containing a protecting SPF. She said that the main reason behind my dry skin is not wearing SPF fortified cream every day and that the sun heat takes away all the moisture from my skin, and dries it out, and by time it has become sensitive that it turned red ,oh silly me I thought that was a natural blush. The beautician warned me that if I didn’t act immediately, and start taking care of my skin, some pre mature wrinkles will start on appearing starting from the area around the mouth then it will start increasing bit by bit over the years.

Adding to the wrinkles she said that those harmful sun rays can cause also dark blemishes and spots that can easily ruin your skin colour, or God forbid can cause in some cases skin cancer, which has spread abundantly in our time, and it main factors is exposing to sun without protection between the time of 10 am till 3 pm. And to be honest unless you are a vampire, no one can really obliged to stay home away from the sun during that time, it’s crucial time during the middle of any working day, and even on a day off you will still have to go out for any reason, if not for the beach which is even more dangerous, since the sea waters reflect the sunrays and can cause severe damage.

Horrified from what I heard, I rushed home running for the nearest laptop – ignoring what she told me about the harmful screen rays whatsoever- I can live with one small wrinkle but I can’t live without my internet. I stayed for hours reading review about the best sunscreen that you can wear with or without make up and won’t show or bother you with its smell all the day long. I came across the Chanel UV essential sunscreen and anti-pollution lotion; I read a lot of reviews saying it’s one of the best products in this category. So I purchased, it is of course a little expensive for sunscreen but it has a lot of benefits that makes you not feel guilty after purchasing. First it’s so light weighted, its smell is really good, matte and not greasy, can be worn alone or with makeup, it won’t make your foundation cake. And it has some anti-bacterial functions so it will help your face stay fresh all day long, perfect if you suffer from acne or pimples, yes it won’t help but it won’t make it worse, as it won’t break you out or increase sebum secretion. Plus all of that the bottle looks really luxurious and after all it’s CHANEL.

Lose weight without Diet or Excersie

So for all of my life I was a sportive girl, my parents made sure to engage me in sports, and I used to dance ballet as well, I was that thin very tall girl all my life, till I had the baby. My problem was weight wasn't the baby weight I lost all the weight  after just two weeks from giving birth. My problem was that when pregnant I was eating very healthy and was trying to eat organic as well, so after delivery I was eating a lot of junk, and was so busy with the baby, and didn't have time to cook healthy, so was ordering food a lot of the time, so I put on few pounds.

Because I never dieted in my whole life, I had no intention of doing so, and going to the gym with a baby, was a bit tough, so I could go only once a week, this problem came to end, when I tried the EFT program for losing weight. To be more correct it is for  releasing the weight, because when you lose the weight you never gain it back.


With EFT program I learned that the problem is in the unconscious mind, it controls more than 90% of over actions, and if you succeeded in controlling it, you can lose weight, gain more money or do a lot of things, you never knew u could do. You know the saying that we use 10% only of our brain capabilities, yes it is true.

The EFT is the emotional free technique. I tried the weight release program, presented by Taller Than A Palm Tree. Taller Than A Palm Tree is the leading self development foundation providing Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) in Egypt and Dubai.
The sessions are conducted by Myrette El Sokkari, who is a certified AAMET Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner, and Matrix Re-imprinting coach. She is also a member of the U.S. based Experts Industry Association (EIA). You can go to her office, do the sessions over the phone or through Skype. In 2008 her own illness, healed by alternative medicine, led to an eye and heart opener of what can be achieved by non conventional medicine. It was in searching the net about the Law of Attraction that she discovered Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and from the first astonished moment there was a gravitational pull to find out more. This hunger for more knowledge has led to extensive continuous self and structured study.

The technique is so easy mainly done through tapping and through easy ways to let you control your appetite without even noticing or doing any physical thing. I will write another post to tell you more, as if I started the post will be very long  for you to read ;)



Meanwhile make sure to visit Taller Than Palm Tree page to know more about the program .

Mother's Day Gift from LUSH

As a young mom to a 3 years toddler if you have asked me what the thing I wished for, especially during the first couple of years, I would reply without hesitation "an indulging bath".
I remember having a shower for 5 min. felt like having a luxurious Cleopatra bath. I would leave the baby for my husband and get into the shower, than I would hear Hassan scream, and then I would panic and get out with the unwashed shampoo over my hair.

From that moment I really appreciated it having a proper bath time, and felt sorry for my mom having to go through all this when me and my siblings were young. That's why I was so happy with LUSH's mother's day gift boxes.

The amazingly wrapped LUSH gift boxes are a special way to say thank you for your mother, for that so many unfinished showers you have prevented her from enjoying, and for letting her now indulge in a luxurious bath and long showers.
For my mum I am getting her a bag that I know she wants and will pass by LUSH to pick her a gift box and place it inside it. What do you girls are getting for your moms ?


Happy Mother's day for all of us.




Thank You LUSH for the amazing gift








Bunch of Carrots re-usable bubble bars …back from last year, this time as a bunch of three smaller carrots, so each one can be used quicker when it’s at its freshest.  As a re-usable bubble bar, place under the running taps to create lots of bubbles, then pop it on the side for another time.  Fragranced with the same fruity oils as the Carrot soap, there’s also a little bit of nutritious carrot oil in each one, which is rich in vitamins and an extraordinary skin soother and rejuvenator. 





Brightside bubble bar … back this year and this time to stay, as it joins our all year round range after Easter!  A bright and cheerful swirl of a bubble bar to give you a fresh and cheerful perspective.  Scented with a trio of uplifting and invigorating oils, there’s: Sicilian mandarin, tangerine and bergamot oil and just a squeeze of lemon.  All are energizing and also incredibly toning oils that will lift the spirits and clear the mind.  Crumble under the running taps and watch as the water turns into a hazy red and orange sunset with frothy white clouds of bubbles.




The orange part is made with carrot oil to moisturize; while the white bunny inside is made with cocoa butter to soften.  The fragrance smells nothing like carrots however, as we’ve used fruity essential oils such as buchu, lemon and bergamot to really make your mouth water. 


NEW Golden Egg bath melt ballistic … a brand new invention, this egg is a bath bomb coated in bath melt mixture. It will unexpectedly sink to the bottom of the bathtub while the outer layer dissolves, popping to the surface as the fizzing center is revealed.  The outer bath melt mix is made using our beautiful fair trade, organic, Colombian Peace Village cocoa butter and olive oil from a brand new permaculture project that LUSH is working with in Palestine. Scented with the best selling and my favourite  LUSH soap Honey I Washed the Kids fragrance, it’s coated with PET free golden luster. 
Inspired by chocolate cream eggs, we reverse it and coated the hard bath bomb center with a creamy bath melt shell.





Inhale Exhale bath bomb … Intensely soothing

A new bath bomb with two halves, each lightly scented with one half of the two-part Gorilla Perfume fragrance, Breath of God. The Inhale half fizzes quickly, allowing mum to breathe in the light and fruity neroli and rose to relax.  She can then lie back, breathe out and enjoy the grounding effect of the Exhale fragrance, with notes of smoky cedarwood and revitalizing lemon and grapefruit. This half fizzes more slowly to give mum an even longer lasting soak.





Tulip... as well as being a beautiful flower, tulips are also an emblem of International Women’s Day in Russia… so the perfect choice really. This one shares the same fragrance as our best selling Sex Bomb bath bomb, a heady scent that will revive and clear her mind.
 


Wonder Woohoo bubble bar … Recharge and rejuvenate

Inspired by Wonder Woman and created for wonder women! Mums can channel their inner superhero when using this bubble bar, covered in gold sparkle to replicate Wonder Woman’s gold tiara!

 Packed full of sandalwood and Brazilian orange oil from our best selling Gorilla Perfume, The Sun, Wonder Woohoo is ideal for overworked super mums in need of a little time to recharge and rejuvenate.
 



Rose bubble bar … Sweet and uplifting

This beautifully crafted bubble bar will instantly transform mum’s bath time experience into a rose filled voyage through a mountain of skin softening bubbles.  Rosehip oil and cocoa butter grated into the mixture provide the softening properties; while rose and lemon provide the fragrance.

 This bubble bar has a brand new formula … cornstarch has been added to the mix to limit the rising effect of our other bubble bars.  This means you get a more condensed bar that can be broken in half and used over two baths.  Or you can use the whole things for masses of creamy, softening bubbles.
Picked at dawn by local villagers and Roma Gypsies, in Senir, Turkey, our rose absolute is the best we can get.  We are one of the largest users of Rose absolute in the world.  Not only is it a great smelling treat but the premium we pay on every kilogram of oil goes towards the running of (and the initial building of), a local primary school.

Stay Fit with Special K

New research released today by Special K reveals that ‘fat talk’ – the negative comments we make criticising our bodies and others’ – is wreaking havoc with our relationships. It's no secret that thinking positively is important to getting in shape, yet more than two thirds (70%) of British women admit they ‘fat talk’ and criticise their body with their partners at least once a day.

A third (37%) would be prepared to end a relationship over jibes directed at them by a partner, whilst more than half (54%) said they feel too insecure about their bodies to be intimate with partners who ‘fat talk’ incessantly. The study of 1,001 UK adults was commissioned by Special K to highlight the impact of size jibes and shift the conversation around weight to a more positive one.

The research revealed that celebrities can have a positive influence on our perception of body image. Adele, Beyoncé and Kelly Brook are held up as the most inspirational women when it comes to banishing ‘fat talk’ and embracing a positive state of mind about their body shapes. Other celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Karl Lagerfeld –who famously criticised Adele’s weight - were named by respondents as the most negative

Positivity Psychology Coach Miriam Akhtar explained the need to break the cycle of fat talk:“As many of us head into the New Year carrying a few extra pounds, it is natural to feel extra sensitive about our appearance. At this time of year it’s important to remind ourselves and our loved ones that a positive approach can pay dividends when it comes to getting in Social media was highlighted as helping ‘fat talk’ to thrive. Two thirds (63%) of Brits believe social networks exacerbate the problem, and one in five (22%) de-tag themselves in photos for fear of sizeist comments. Some Brits are embracing the #belfie however - a #selfie of the bottom popularized by Kim Kardashian - with a third (29%) prepared to post one free from “Our brains are naturally wired to focus more on the negative than the positive, so we need to work that bit harder to train our minds to appreciate our best assets”, Miriam continued. To help, Special K has commissioned Miriam to create a Positivity Plan which reveals the simple steps for a life free from negativity. Special K also offers a variety of delicious food options for a balanced diet including cereal, porridge, cereal bars and cracker crisps.






SPECIAL K POSITIVITY PLAN:


Developed by Miriam Akhtar, MSc in Applied Positive Psychology. We all know that having a positive mental attitude is beneficial for our well-being. It is all too easy, however, to allow negative thoughts to cloud our judgement. Here, acclaimed positivity expert Miriam Akhtar reveals the 10 simple steps for a healthy, happier state of mind free

1. Train your brain: Your brain has a negativity bias, so it’s crucial to focus on your positive assets– great sense of humour, lovely smile – to help you aim for success every day.

2. Stay kind: When you perform an act of kindness for someone, both you and the recipient feel good which leads to positivity bouncing back and forth between you.

3. Be an optimist: Recognise that temporary set backs are just that – temporary. Thinking this way helps build a more positive state of mind.

4. Think small: Build confidence by making small goals and recognizing every single

5. Live your life purpose: Look ahead and make plans. Making progress towards your vision will give you a sense of satisfaction and boost your positivity.

6. Get perspective: Think about life in more flexible terms. Negative beliefs can turn into monsters, so do your best to put them in perspective and think of what action you can

7. Cherish love: Love is the queen of positive emotions, but for a relationship to truly flourish you need a ratio of 5:1 positive to negative emotions. Boost your well-being by being as social as you can and nurturing your life-affirming relationships.

8. Thank-you Therapy: Take some time at the end of every day to think about what’s gone well, what’s good in your life and what you are grateful for.

9. Bring the Fun Factor: Do what you love - the fun, enjoyable and healthy things in life maximise the joy in your positivity machine.

10. Do it for you: Having positive motivations for success maximises your chances. ‘Intrinsic motivation’ is where you’re motivated to do something for its own sake and is more likely to work than an extrinsic motivation.

Dove will Take Care of You

Since as far as I can remember I used to borrow/steal my mum's Dove signature white and blue cream and use it up, and leave it on her dresser empty, so when she comes to do her daily night beauty regime, she finds out that her cream has finished up, and looks to me with suspecting eyes, and I answer the cat must have confused it with yoghurt and ate it up LOL

I remember I used to put a drop of the cream on my nose trying to imitate that girl in the TV ad. I remember getting the first Dove Shampoo bottle exported from Port Said, when it wasn't really available in all the supermarkets and pharmacy like it's now. For me Dove is an endless love story, it may seems like I am writing an ad. script but I am not, I really grow up liking this brand, and I guess it is really a very good one that deserves better words.

Three products of Dove I can never leave without them are the Dove hair oil replacements "the best oil replacement ever", the dove soap bar and the Dove hair serum.
And because I love to change my shampoo and conditioner frequently I switch with Dove some other brands, but I really like the Dove shampoo for damaged and dry hair, that I am using right this moment, and loving it.

Here are some of the must have Dove products for all year long, no matter what the season is, Dove will take care of you.


Spring  
The Legs   
Revive your skin with Dove Cream Oil Nourishing Body Wash. Exfoliate prior to shaving to help avoid irritation, and smooth petroleum jelly on crack-prone areas, like knees, immediately afterward. Throw on a pair of heels or wedges to create a slimming, elongated effect and wear your spring skirt confidently.

Summer 
All Over 

Feeling extra-parched? Switch to a beauty bar specifically suited for sensitive skin, like Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar, to soothe dryness from sun and wind. Prefer a body wash? Try Dove Nourishing Fresh Touch Body Wash and experience the soothing scent of cucumber and green tea. Sip on ultra-hydrating and electrolyte rich coconut water for an overall glow, protect delicate facial skin with an over-sized beach and as always, don’t forget your sunscreen!


Fall 
Hands  

Give your hands the extra nourishment they crave with Dove Hand Cream, which contains the Deep Care Complex, which includes natural skin nutrients and rich essential oils to deeply nourish your skin. Dab a little olive oil into each cuticle to avoid hangnails.
Winter 
Arms  

Skin loses up to 25% of its ability to hold moisture in winter months. Get your arms party-dress-ready with a moisture-packed beauty bar like Dove Beauty Cream Bar. Or try Dove Deeply Nourishing Body Wash to heal dry skin and minimize roughness and flaking. Smooth and lighten dry elbows with lemon halves, layer on body lotion and finish with a dust of shimmer powder.

The little device that will entirely change your life.

I think women's biggest problem, no matter from where they came from, how they look like, is hair removing. Despite having many ways to do so, nothing has worked 100% , for every methods its pro and cons. for example with the traditional ways and waxing, sometimes the pain is unbearable, and if you have sensitive skin, you can break out or suffer from redness and itchiness,  as for shaving it's very inconvenient as hair grows back immediately and seriously no one wants the coarse hair and the ingrown hairs under the skin.The hair removal creams are the worst ever, it literally damages your skin, and can cause skin pigmentation in some cases, Needless to mention the mess and the long time you take to remove the hair using all this methods.

Finally someone heard women's prayers and decided to do something about. Braun has recently another miraculous devices which can be defined better as a fist size skin spa than just an epilation device. The Braun Silk Epil is not new to the scene, but I really love the fact that Braun keeps on updating the Silk Epil functions to make it suitable for the modern life. The new Silk Epil 7 "the skin spa" has many changeable heads, the first is of course the epilator head, that can work on dry and wet, and YES you can definitely use it in the shower, it can removes the tiniest hairs ever, and it also have light to show where are some little hairs hide. the second one which is the new concept is the exfoliator head, that removes all the dead skin, 4 times more gentle than all the chemical scrubs but we the same and even better effect. the other heads are the trimmer, that trims long hair, and the other is the shaver that gives you a very close gentle shave  way better than normal razors, and also works on dry or wet.




Braun has thrown up a very beautiful feminine party and invited me to attend, the party was held on the private villas overlooking the beautiful Red Sea at the Moveinpick hotel in Jeddah, where guests were lectured by dermatologist consultant Dr. Shazia Ali, where she simply explained to us step by step how to use the Braun Silk Epil, answered our endless questions and guided us how to get the perfect skin, afterwards we were entertained  to a delicious lunch, followed by an indulging hand and foot massage, finally followed by a joyful and fun photo session for each guest.



One of the many questions that Dr. Shazia was asked, is why we get red inflamed pimples after epilation, she replied that after the hair has been removed, few days and it's start to grow again under the epidermis  so if the skin above is not so smooth that the hair can penetrate, the pore will get inflamed, making the skin red and itchy, and that what makes the hair grow under the skin and make your skin looks and feels coarse. So Braun acknowledged that fact and worked on developing the exfoliator head, that allows you to get rid of the dead skin, so when the hair regrow, you want suffer at all from the ingrown hair problem. Dr. Shazia said that we can exfoliate up to 2 times a week, the exfoliator head is very gentle yet very effective, it can be used on face as well, hearing that was music to my ears, as I was looking everywhere for the clarisonic face exfoliator, and now I am using the Braun Silk Epil exfoliator on my face, and man it never felt so soft, as it does now.

There were a significant difference, even from the first time.
Dr. Shazia used a model suffering from keratosis pilaris and showed how a person with such  a sever skin medical case, can have a noticeable smooth skin in matter of few months, if used the exfoliator and epilation frequently. Another thing the Dr. highlighted, is a step that most of us forgot " moisturizing". Always moisturize after exfoliating, it's the golden rule, exfoliating without moisturizing makes the skin even drier: it's a very important steps that can be missed.
Dr. Shazia showing us how to change the heads.

The Braun Silk Epil is such a fantastic device, it's a revolution in the derma world. I can see all the dermatologist rave about such product, it's fast, convenient  for traveling you can basically throw it inside your handbag and take it with you everywhere.

Thank You Braun for always working so hard to develop your products and make it adjustable to women's constant needs, I have always loved Braun products, and they never fail to impress and surprise me with this Skin Spa and with the Braun 7 satin hair, read my review about it HERE, and as promised I will be doing a special post showing you how to style your hair with it so soon.
