Aldo Accessories

Posted on May 6, 2013 by swera

As I was shopping in Marina Mall last week, Aldo’s accessories caught my eyes from far away. I couldn’t help myself but go inside the store & check the collection displayed. I’ve never bought accessories from them, they looked boring (before), but now it’s full of colors & style.

I got me 2 necklaces & a matching bracelet. Ofcourse I’d have bought more but I thought to keep my buyings down til I finish my recruitment papers & then go WILD

P.S. The colors are a lil bit brighter. Dunno why they became like this.

Check them out;

Thank You F2O Designs

Posted on May 4, 2013 by swera

The lovely Fatima Al-Othman informed me that there’s something waiting for me at the store. I was in the area that day & couldn’t wait to check it out. Too bad I missed meeting Fatima & baby Essa. The lady at the store gave me an orangy bag. Couldn’t wait to get back home & see what’s inside the bag

Guess whaaaat? A customized coffee cup with an Owl & my current nickname “Om Juju” I couldn’t help but go around the store & show it to everyone, even to those who are out of the country, I sent them pictures of the cup through whatsapp with a huge smile on my face.

The notebook is so beautiful & creatively drawn. The colors, the faces, everything about it screams creativity. And it came just on time

Thank you F2o Designs for the lovely gift & may all your dreams come true & all your goals achieved.

The store is located in Burj Jassim.

L’Occitane April’s Beauty Box

Posted on May 3, 2013 by swera

I received April’s Beauty Box from L’Occitane to try the Almond Set to try & review. Now let’s see what’s inside my beauty box?

Almond Milk Concentrate: “Rich in almond oil & almond milk, this body cream nourishes and softens the skin. The blend of silicium and almond proteins, which are similar to collagen, effectively fights skin slackening by restoring skin’s support tissue.”

Almond Supple Skin Oil:”This body oil fights dry skin & lack of firmness. Concentrated in almond oil, rich in omega-6, and cameline oil, rich in omega-3. It helps to repair the hydro-lipidic barrierfor a more supple skin that no longer feels tight.”

Almond Shower Gel: “Enriched with almond oil. Leaves a subtle mouth watering scent of fresh almond for a delightful skin.”

Almond Soup: “Floral fragrance of almond blossoms and contains crushed almond shells to gently exfoliate the skin.”

Almond Slimmer Massager: “A massage accessory that stimulates microcirculation, ensures that the active ingredients penetrate the skin well in order to enhance and extend the effectiveness of the treatments.”

I’ve quoted for you what each product is supposed to do or achieve after a period of time. I’ve tried the products for 3 days now & here’s what I can say about few of them, others will definitely take time

Melenzane Experience @The_Avenues

Posted on May 1, 2013 by swera

I’ve heard alot of positive comments about this restaurant. So many people recommended the place for it’s delicious food & efficient service, even my sister tried it before me & told me to go & check it out (it should be the other way around).

Dad, Juju & I went to the avenues because Juju loves the place alot & feels very happy going around the place (Grand Avenues) because of the beautiful lights. When we got hungry, I asked Dad to go & check this restaurant & he didn’t object.

A Kuwaiti guy greeted us (probably the owner not sure though). Gave us the menu & took our order, he was really nice. The food arrived on time, didn’t take that long. The atmosphere was really beautiful, the location is just perfect (Soku). The place is big enough & the staff are very friendly & sweet, they kept playing & talking with Juju the whole time to keep her occupied so we can have our meal in peace The price was kinda reasonable & from my point of view totally worth it coz the food was really good & I can’t wait to go back again & try other dishes Didn’t eat that much because it was dinner & I’m on a diet

Take a look at what’ve ordered;

Retro Event at Luscious Designs

Posted on May 1, 2013 by swera

I received an invitation from the lovely Hala Abu AlHasan full of not-going-to-tell goodies to attend a retro night and check out the new collection & collaboration with another Kuwaiti brand.

The event took us back to the 60s. Some people came wearing retro & vintage clothes. Too bad I didn’t pay attention to that detail. The collaboration is with TheDrezz brand who are specialized in 3D Tees.

I loved the decoration, the setting, the food & the drinks, even the music! I tried to capture some photos for you but it was crowded mashallah.

You can check the collection at Luscious Desings Boutique located in AlTejariya Tower.

Best of luck to all

Super Mom

Posted on April 30, 2013 by swera

It’s been 2 weeks since Maya left to her home town to fix some problems she’s been having over there & she’s supposed to come back on the 1st of June, before Ramadan. I hope/pray that she will come back on time & won’t do the usual thing (ignoring us & staying home).

I know I don’t work but taking care of Baby Jana is a 24/7 job,literally. I don’t let Maya touch her at all (well, only if she wants to play with her while she’s on the ground or in her bed). I do everything, feed her, change, bathe her, play with her & keep an eye on her all the time. no one can really comprehend the stress & energy babies cause to their mothers unless you’re a real mother & by that I mean taking care of your baby all by yourself without relying on your maid (if you’re a stay home mom).

I’m trying to manage house chores (cleaning, ironing, washing the dishes & clothes, etc) but thank god I’m living at my dad’s house because our house help is doing all the cooking. I can’t even imagine what would I’ve done if I didn’t have someone cooking for us. I’d let my husband starve

I’m also trying to manage my blogging life (YES, I LOVE BLOGGING, ATTENDING EVENTS & SO. Leave your hateful comment to yourself haters coz they won’t affect me & I will continue blogging until I decide to stop, NOT YOU). Blogging has become an addiction to me. It’s fun, gives more experience in life & how to handle/deal with people/things. It’s making me more social & it’s showing me the good people from the bad. I’m loving it.

But the thing is, when the night comes, I become very exhausted. Even when I stay home & don’t go out or do anything at all (yup, on gloomy days I ignore some chores). And sometimes I don’t feel like getting out of bed & that becomes more stressful when Juju wants to play & have fun. She’s becoming more active these days mashallah & wants to move all around the place or go outside just to look at the cars passing by.

The Horror movie I may face the next week or so is when I start working. Yes, I may (not sure) start work within few days. That wasn’t expected at all but suddenly the Ministry of Education wants to recruit me now when they’ve told me more than once that I will start work on September *cries*. I’m a bit excited (Hello Salary) but at the same time stressed & worried. What will I do without Maya? How will I handle Juju & the house at the same time? I know it will be for a short period of time but it’s gonna be really hectic.

GOD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL

Wedding Bells-My Lil’ Brotha

Posted on April 29, 2013 by swera

The day we have all been waiting for

Last week was my little brother’s wedding. We (the whole family) couldn’t wait for this day to come & when it came, we became very stressed & worried that something might go wrong. Nothing went wrong el7mdellah. The day came & ended safely.

On Friday 19th of April 2013. I woke up around 8 am, took a shower, prepared Baby Jana’s bag, prepared my bag, organized my things & left home with my sister around 11:15 am. Dropped Juju at my Grandmother’s house & we went to The Regency Hotel where we dropped our clothes, bag & other things. My aunt was there waiting for us. We finished from the hotel & went straigh to the makeup artist Noor Albader (Instagram:@noormakeup). I can’t stop talking about this lady, how talented she’s, amazing & very sweet. She understands what you want & knows what’s best for your face. My aunt’s eyes are small & difficult to apply party makeup to, but when I saw what she did to her face, I became more relaxed because I was worried, this is the 1st time we try her makeup & nobody told us about her before, we found her on instagram & trusted our guts. After that she did my sister’s makeup & I was last. Everybody kept on talking about our makeup & how beautiful we looked etc. Even the people who couldn’t make it to the wedding called me to ask about who did our makeup because they’ve heard people talking

My sister & I went to the hairdresser after we finished from our makeup around 4pm. Our appointment at Betty Boop Salon was at 5pm with Nazi. This was also the 1st time we try this salon but this time, some of our relatives kept on recommending Nazi & how great & fast she is. You won’t believe it when I tell you that my hairstyle took only 10 minutes. I myself couldn’t believe it, and it stayed the same the whole night.

We arrived to the hotel around 6pm. There I saw my lil pie Juju waiting to be changed & dressed My aunts & grandmother were all there done with their makeup & hairstyles. We started changing our clothes, putting on our jewelries, & finally the shoes. It was around 7:30pm when we finished & got out to the wedding hall & guess what? Ladies started arriving around 7:50pm, my grandma’s friends

The night started beautifully & ended crazily We had so much fun, the best night of my life when I saw my lil brother coming from the door with my Dad, granfather, uncles & my lovely husband It was a night to remember. Overwhelmed with many feelings. Wished my mom was there to see her naughty boy get married, settle down & have a family. Of course we shed some tears (laaazm ba3ad).

We are blessed el7mdellah … Thank you Allah.

Wagamama Experience-Kuwait

Posted on April 28, 2013 by swera

I’ve been wanting to try this place for ages but no one was willing to & ofcourse I won’t go & dine alone there. But last Friday, I managed to convince my dad to give it a try & off we went.

The place is really big & spacious, the staff were very friendly & the service was pretty good. Food arrived on time except the Seafood Ramen took a while. What I loved was the portion of each dish, it was really big & more than enough. Yes, it’s a lil bit pricey but totally worth it, because as I said the portion is big & the food is delicious.

Their baby chairs are so cute. They can be attached to the table, so your baby’s feet will be hanging in the air

Let’s check our order;
