Dear readers,
The long summer is here, and it's pretty exciting at theCITY. We have several new pages to introduce. Anmar Al-Darmi will be introducing you to authentic Kuwaiti recipes. Nour Al-Nafisi will be doing theVISIT every month where she meets with successful entrepreneurs to talk about the challenges they have faced. The page I am most excited about is Asma Al-Mulla's page, in which she talks about the most luxurious spots around Kuwait. They Love Where They Live, another one of our latest additions talks about the experience of ex-pats in Kuwait and what makes them love where they live.
One thing to look forward to here in Kuwait is the way traf-fic and life in general become more relaxed. It's the perfect timing for you to tackle any projects you've left unattended. We wish you a fun summer if you're looking for run, a relaxed summer if you're longing for relaxation, and a productive summer if you're an aspiring workaholic. Kind regards,
Sincerely,
Khaled Al-Qahtani

Firstly, I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to the employer of choice—Zain—for choosing me as Zain’s Talent. Working with Zain has definitely added to my overall work experience as a pro-fessionally committed and motivated employee.
Tell us about your experience as an employee in Zain. How did that help you in your growth, career-wise?
Being part of a great, leading company such as Zain helps employees exert maximum efforts in order to escalate the career ladder. The com-pany continuously looks for ways to develop their employees’ skills and considers them the biggest assets. Employees drive overall success. It is honestly one of the best working environments to work in.

What have you learned from Zain?
As a Zain employee, I learned how to work hand-in-hand with other team members, but that’s not all. Zain employees are trained to be brand ambassadors who spread Zain values such as radiance, belonging, and heart. We spread these values among other team members to ensure that the expectations of such a huge organiza-tion are well-met.
What would you say are the most important things that define your work experience with Zain?
The most important elements that define my work experience at Zain would be: the endless support received from my superiors, and the encouragement to do more. This motivation factor acts as a cru-cial element in any employee’s life to go beyond boundaries and achieve great targets.
From your experience, what do you tell new graduates looking for a job in the private sector?
From my experience in one of the biggest economic organizations and a leader in Kuwait’s telecom industry, Zain provides great job opportunities to potential graduates and helps them gain the work experience they need to establish a solid career path.

Obesity as we know it, is excessive body fat that impairs health dramatically. If you step into any mall in Kuwait and engage in the popular activity of people watching, it won’t be long before you notice that obesity is the signature trend. It does not discriminate between men and women, or children and adults. The rise of obesity in Kuwait is attributed to the imbalance between the calories consumed and the ones burned. Overtime, when people increasingly eat high calorie foods, without exerting physical energy, the excess energy is stored as fat. As the body fat increases, the person’s general health begins to deteriorate.
Whether you’re trying to maintain your weight, or lose a few kilos, here are some quick and easy steps you can start taking towards a healthier you:
• Cut out fried food! Opt for baked and grilled foods instead.
• Dine out less, and be aware of your eating portions. Remember, balance is key!
• Increase fruit and vegetable consumption, as they are packed with vitamins and nutrients, and are low in calories
• Replace whole with skimmed dairy, or at least low-fat. Eat more yogurt, as it is rich in healthy bacteria which aids in digestion.
• Sit down less. Do not spend more than an hour at a time sitting down (this includes tv, laptop, aimless driving, etc.)
• Move more! Get at least 30-60 minutes of physical activity daily.
• Drink more water. Make sure you get at least 2 litres of water a day, especially in this summer heat!
• Choose healthier desserts and snacks. Our Sweet & Savory set is a delicious, yet low-calorie option!
Are You Obese?
Body mass index (BMI) measurement is the most accurate way to classify obesity for
both males and females.
Use this formula to calculate your BMI:
Where do you fall on the BMI scale?
Normal: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9Overweight: BMI between 25.0 and 29.9
Obese: BMI between 30.0 and 30.9Extremely obese: BMI of 40.0 +
risks related to obesity:
type I I diabetes, heart disease, asthma,
joint pain, sleep apnea, depression,
social discrimination
“Overweight
and obesity are
thefifthleadingrisk
for global deaths. At
least 2.8 million adults
die each year as a result
of being overweight or
obese. In addition, 44% of
the diabetes burdens are
attributable to overweight
and obesity”

Hello again dear readers! I am so happy to meet with you once again!
Ramadan is around the corner and here in Kuwait, and this month is the start of the wedding season. Weddings left and right, and love is in the air. Everyone is holly and jolly and getting prepped and prodded for these magical eve-nings.
The truth is, however, it’s not so holly and jolly for everyone. For single ladies, it can get stressful and a little depressing waiting for
your turn. Many of you may be thinking, where do I find “the one”? Where is he hiding? When is it my turn? Ladies, I feel you. I’d like to take a mo-ment and help you keep a few things in perspective and pro-vide a little guidance on a few points that
you may have overlooked.
1. Breathe! Have Faith and Enjoy the Journey. Ladies, remember to see things as they truly are. It’s important to keep things in perspective. Re-member, whatever is meant to be will be and if it’s not meant to be, it will never be. You can be per-fect and things may not work out and on the opposite side, you can be terribly wrong and have things work out. Ladies, please don’t waste your life away being sad and overanalyzing everything that happened or didn’t happen. It’s so sad seeing young women, full of potential, sitting at home, moping around, sad and depressed that their significant other hasn’t ar-rived. Things happen in their own time and in their own way, worry-ing and stressing about it will only make you annoying and stressed, so stop it. Enjoy your time and
think of it as a special window of opportunity to find yourself, de-velop skills, and enfulge all your heart's desires. Have faith in a higher power and trust that time is not your enemy, but a gift, en-joy it!
2. Be an Active Part in the Community.If you are reading this article then I am sure you are lucky. So tell me, as a lucky person, are you giv-ing back? Are you contributing to the community? Are you helping those who need you or are you being negative and complain-ing about what you don’t have? Remember, you have a lot to be grateful for and those who are grateful will attract more. So, what’s the next step? Choose an avenue you would like to con-tribute to and take the initiative to help. Community service cen-ters are everyone here in Kuwait and can be found on Instagram or online. There are amazing groups with amazing people who help in the areas of medical care, child care, labor workers, etc…
The people you will meet will also contribute to the change in your perspective and even your life. This select group will become part of your inner circle of friends, help you fill your time effectively, and who knows, one of them may be Mr. Right!
3. Participate in Family Gath-erings.Your family is home. Your family is your safety. For those of you who are avoiding family gather-ings, one question, why? No mat-ter how much you run away from them or hide from them, you are stuck to your family and they are stuck to you. Accept your family and embrace them. Participate in family gatherings and connect with them.
For those of you who are opposed to family marriages, don’t be so quick to judge. Many people find
great husbands through family marriages so give them a chance. Your family circle is a great group to “fish” in, and find your future husband. Keep an open mind, jump in, and don’t take yourself so seriously. Loosen up and enjoy!
4. Participate in Courses and Continue your Education.Knowledge is power. Expand your mind. I encourage you to partici-pate in courses, trainings, semi-nars, etc… where your horizons will expand and you can meet in-dividuals similar to yourself. Are you thinking of getting your mas-ters or PhD? Go for it! Don’t sit at home waiting, go out, educate yourself, and mix with different groups of people. Remember, people who join in your courses have similar interests as you and similar mindsets as you. Where you fish for a husband is as impor-tant as who you are fishing for. Males you meet at universities or courses are educated, and special. Go on! Don’t delay. Join a course as soon as possible.
5. Be Happy at Work.Work. The four letter word that causes so many people disdain. Al-though you may not think it’s the best place to mingle, believe it or not, many people find their signifi-cant others at work.
So, my question is, what’s your work demeanor? When you are at work, don’t close yourself off, avoid negativity. Enjoy your time at work and smile. Those who ra-diate happiness and enthusiasm are the most attractive. If you feel you can’t be happy at work and hate it, maybe it’s time to switch jobs. In all cases, having some-thing in common, like work, can be a plus. Smile, look good, and keep an open mind. Most importantly, if there is a special fish at work, give him a chance!Well dearest readers, I wish you all happy fishing and a happy wedding season. Good luck find-ing your Mr. Right!

When I come back to Kuwait, it feels like coming home. Such a phrase is very common coming from any Kuwaiti, but when it comes from an Australian who happens to have Middle Eastern roots--whose lived and worked across many cities worldwide, from Melbourne to London and from Dubai to Amman--it can be an odd sentiment and one worth thinking about.
You see, I am talking about myself. The truth is that I have nev-er ever imagined visiting Kuwait in my life. I never considered it as a tourist destination, let alone actually living, working and enjoying every minute in this warm and friendly state. Since first arriving to Kuwait 5 years ago, I was met with friendly and accommodating people from all sectors of the society. I managed to enrich my social life with many extremely nice and cultured groups of friends and colleagues at work. The social gatherings at the Diwaniya are quite a unique way in keeping social links alive and expanding friendly networks. This made me feel really at home amongst close friends. On the other hand, I welcomed all the social traditions, and I was eager to learn and know a lot about the local traditions and culture. I en-joy learning about how people managed to have this social link, which creates such an easy living environment. It feels as if you are amongst a huge extended family where everyone knows someone who is a friend of someone, and so on.
I guess this human effect is what makes a difference. This is the factor which makes me Kuwait feel like home whenever I fly back to it from my many travels. It all comes down to the hu-man effect. Kuwaitis are friendly, helpful, and they have gained a lot of experience and openness through the natural passion they have for travel. In my opinion, this has opened new dimen-sions to their social character and deepened their ability to en-rich their culture. With all the modern aspects of technology and science which Kuwaitis experience across the world and managed to bring back to their country, while preserving their unique cultural identity, they provide a wonderful, welcoming balance.
Such unique character in the social structure of Kuwait was never felt during the many years I spent in London and Aus-tralia. It is this strong human effect as I mentioned earlier that made all the difference. Kuwait is a young country with more than 50% of its population under 30 years old. Young genera-tions are dynamic and active, and eager to learn and develop. These are definitely signs of a bright future for any nation.
The Human Effect: Why Kuwait Has "It."

Your Villa: Your Self
It's easy to see the major shift in the role of women in our society today. In the fact, in the past few decades alone, the change has been significant. Women today are more aware of their design needs, they travel around often, and they stay in glamorous & chic hotels. In short: Women are exposed.
It is very important that a house has the touches of its owners. No matter how renowned the hired designer is, a house is never a real home until it reflects those who occupy it.
Women today are moving towards designing their own houses, host-ing, and planning their own events. If you examine them closer you might notice that some just leave subtle touches while others opt for more bold imprints. In both cases, the point is that they want every-thing to have their touchs and to reflect who they truly are.
The task of designing, though outwardly simple, can become chal-lenging if one is not conscious of what lies ahead. There are a few simple rules and lots of tricks that can make the whole task uncom-plicated and even inspiring! All you have to know is how to get there. That's why I designed a course called “Design Your Villa." This course is quiet essential to those with no background in design whatsoever or to those who plan to deal with their contractors directly. In this course I have elaborated on spaces, zoning, space allocations, furni-ture arrangements, color scheme and combination, materials, lighting and basic electrical information.
When one is aware of these basic issues, dealing with contractors be-comes unproblematic. To begin with they have a better understand-ing of the terminologies and this, in return, reduces the possibility for any miscommunications. They learn to differentiate between what they want and what the contractor proposes. Participants get in-structed on how to draw a basic plan, how to shop using this plan, and how to convey ideas to contractors through those plans. They are also instructed on how to read the plans of others. At th end of each day in our 3-day course order the participants form groups to complete assignments to help enhance and apply what they acquired in during the day. This step makes the information more tangible and compre-hensive.
So far we have provided only bimonthly introductory courses and very soon we will start adding on more advanced courses in addition to specialized courses such as materials, technical colors, lighting etc.
Testimonials from Participants:1. The workshop was amazing! I loved every minute! It was excellent and I learned a lot. Definitely time worthy. I can’t wait to redesign my room.BADRIYAH AL MUDHAF
2. The best course I've ever attended. I think I am finally ready to start renovating my house. Thank you Farah, we will miss it!JENAN AL SAAD
3. It was an inspiring course, as well as professionally & technically perfect.RANIA AL MUTAWA

Fine Living with Asma Al-MullaSafir Suite. Safir International Hotel & Residence.
27
Upon walking through the wide wooden door and stepping on the hardwood floor, my eyes caught the strong sunlight of the room. I was mesmerized.
The eighty-five square meters suite of Safir International Ho-tel has skylight windows with an exceptional view of the beach. You can enjoy the charming panoramic view of that beach from the burgundy-colored so-fas in the lavish living room. The view left me speechless. The light that came through those huge skylight windows took my breath away.
The large living room also has a 6-person mahogany dining table. The dining area is sur-rounded by mirrors and amaz-ing art pieces from Artist Ulla Al-Ayoubi, which I found myself admiring helplessly.
The second door in the execu-tive suite living room took me to the royal bedroom. A marvelous kingsize bed, with calm dusty-purple sheets and covers looks extremely cozy. Each side has a small nightstand with relaxing dimmed lights. A ceiling-high window, covered with a dark shade of satin purple curtains overlooks the blue Arabian Gulf. Another mahogany door took me to the spacious walk-in closet of the room, 'every girls’ dream,' I thought to myself.
A walk into the closet took me straight to the bathroom door. Luxurious Chopard products were lined on a wide marble sink. To the right, a comfortable jacuzzi, with an accompanying flat-screen TV and a walk-in shower with full massage jets comes on your left.
I had a unique experience at this Safir International Hotel suite. It is luxury combined with tradi-tion and it surely will leave you in awe. Truly, it is the legendary Arabian hospitality with a taste of the fine living.

Rare Company is a fairly new, aspiring business that aims to bring in-novative new technologies to the Kuwaiti consumer, especially in the field of home entertainment. Behind Rare and its sister companies is a young Kuwaiti man, Nawaf Al-Shamari. Here is our chitchat with Nawaf about his various business ventures, especially Rare.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.My name is Nawaf Al Shamari. I graduated from California State Uni-versity, majoring in Business Management. I worked in the US in the field of real estate for 7 years, and then moved back to Kuwait by the end of 2009. I decided to establish my own company in 2011.
What does Rare specialize in, and what are the specialties of its sister companies?Rare was established in 2011 as a supplier for new innovative digital displays and advanced high-technology solutions. In 2012 we estab-lished two more divisions under Rare: Acquante--which specializes in fountains, aquatic ballets and digital water curtains--and Geisha, which is our media and advertising venture.
What are the services offered by Rare? Rare offers a variety of up-to-date technologies in different lines of work and industry who are seeking International Innovative markets in order to bring the best to Kuwait and the GCC market as a whole. We own six exclusive distribution rights to sell products in the GCC, as well as Iraq. Some of our products are AV and digital signage for indoor/outdoor use, home theater screens, intelligent or switchable smart glass which transforms from being clear to frosted, where it can also be used as a surface to project video on, creating a high-def display. We also sell mirrorvision TV, Art Speakers, and even LED pe-rimeter systems for stadiums. The digital water curtains are also an in-novative element in urban design, which we distribute here in Kuwait. The curtain becomes an elegant water billboard that can be used as public information meeting point interacting with the people. It is also a playful element, refreshing & relaxing for consumers.
Rare deals with well-known and reputable suppliers from UK, Spain, Netherlands, and USA to bring the latest technologies and ideas to provide individuals and corporates with the best products in the glob-al market. Our product designs are simple, unique, and modern to target the high-end interior design companies, as well as media and advertising agencies. Our goal is to provide the best solutions to busi-nesses who wish to appear in a magnificent form and to become a bright establishment at a very competitive cost. I believe that we are the vision of tomorrow, with the technology of today.
What are the future plans for Rare? The future plans is to expand our services and find good distributors for our products and services in Kuwait and the GCC region overall.

For the summer issue, I decided to visit some place many locals don't think of often. It's a place that is usually visited by tourists, al-though I can guarantee that even locals will appreciate its beauty and charm once they give it a try and pay this place a visit. It is Bait Dickson, or Dickson's House. Located on the Arabian Gulf Road, Bait Dickson is a true monument of what Kuwait used to be. I love how it still stands as a reminder of the essence of Kuwait. It is where a lot of interaction between Kuwaiti citizens and expatriate communi-ties took place in the past. The guide, Fayez Khan, who moved to Kuwait in the 70's told me all about it, and the way he told the stories about the place was so lively, I could almost picture the events taking place there.
When Fayez Khan arrived to Kuwait on Wednesday, the 12th of May 1976, he was received by a Yemeni driver and a Pakistani cook. Diverse expatriate citizenship was present all throughout Kuwait’s booming golden era in the 70’s, and and it is something that is quite admirable and worth noting. Fayez’s father worked in Harold Dickson’s house in the 40’s. Mr Dickson’s generosity extended to include Fayez and his siblings; he helped him find a job at several aviation companies in Kuwait. In 1999, Fayez retired and decided to be the cultural guide at Beit Dickson. He was, after all, quite close to the Dickson family.
The house, he noted, used to belong to Al-Asfoor family. It was acquired by the British colonial administrator Harold Dickson and his family. Mr Dickson’s relationship with the Kuwaiti people is something to admire. He was loved by the citizens of Kuwait, and his wife Violet was quite popular among the Kuwaiti women. She was visited by the wives of merchants and the wives of desert nomads, and formed strong bonds with them. She drove her Mercedes every afternoon to her friends who lived on the outskirts of Kuwait City or in other suburbs, and they had tea with biscuits, gossiped, and chitchatted.

Such close ties bonded Mr Dickson with the people of the Gulf, he even gave his kids Arabic names. His son is Saud, and it is said that he was named after a Saudi dig-nitary, and his daughter, Zah-ra, is named after a little Iraqi girl Mr Dickson met when he worked in Iraq.
We took a tour around the house with Mr Fayez, and he managed to bring every corner of the house to life with the stories he told. Mr Dickson truly loved Kuwait, and asked to be buried here in Kuwait. Such is the love that many expatriate citi-zens have for Kuwait and its people and culture. Visit Bait Dickson. You’ll have a great time, and Mr Fayez is quite a fun person to listen to.
Admission is free and the location is fantastic because it's close to several other so-cial hubs. It's not too far from some malls and it's close to the Seef coastal strip with its trendy restaurants, so pass by on your way to dinner one day. You won't regret it.

Are you looking to improve your physical appearance ? Are you dream-ing of a brighter smile ? A whiter set of teeth improves your smile, your look and, of course, increase your self confidence.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment; its main indication is elimination of discoloration, stains and natural pigmentation of the teeth. However, this procedure is not 100 percent predicable as the results are variable depending on many parameters related to each patient. In some cases, relapse is probable as fade may show up over time, especially if a person smokes or drinks a lot of coffee or tea. Unlike porcelain veneers, which are stain-resistant dental prosthetics, the natural teeth retain the ability to absorb stains, and a patient may need another whitening treatment in the future for better mainte-nance.
If you are interested in revitalizing your smile, there are two types of whitening available: in-office and at-home treatments. Regardless of which treatment option you choose, you can expect your teeth to be noticeably brighter after therapy. Teeth bleaching provides relatively quick results about an hour with in-office whitening, and a week or two with at-home whitening , it is possible that more than one treat-ment may be necessary to completely bleach the teeth.
In-office bleaching: The professional teeth whitening process be-gins with a minor cleaning and removal of any plaque along the gum line. Once this has been accomplished, the material (peroxide-based gel) is applied directly to the teeth. Also, the initiation of the active in-gredient is performed with heat, a special light, and/or a laser. Results are seen in only 30 to 60 minutes and whitens teeth by as many as 10 shades lighter. Costs for the procedure vary from dentist to dentist, but, typically the results are similar.
There are many kits in the market where manufacturers such as Rem-brandt®, Zoom® and BriteSmile® are very similar. In extreme cases, the laser teeth whitening procedure may need to be repeated to ad-dress deep stains caused by medications .
At-home bleaching: It is indicated for patients who don't have the time to schedule several dental appointments. The initial visit should be to the dentist for a check-up to ensure that they do not have any cavities or excess plaque buildup. This is a necessary stage as teeth whitening gel can cause damage to weak or decayed teeth. Once this
is completed, the dentist will take impressions to make customized whitening trays tailored to the patient's specific needs. In addition, they will provide a peroxide-based teeth whitening gel to use with the trays. The frequent use of this gel will depend on a patient's de-mand in terms of esthetic goals and sensitivity level. It is up to the patient to decide when, where, and how often to wear these trays. Many teeth whitening regimens are designed to be worn overnight, but the dentist may offer options for daytime use. It is recommended that the trays are worn daily to receive optimal results as quickly as possible. Typically, results can be seen within two weeks. The cost of at-home teeth bleaching kits can vary greatly depending on the spe-cific product.
Benefits: The teeth whitening procedure offers many benefits in-cluding the bright white smile whether you choose in-office or at-home teeth whitening, the results are amazing because whitening systems penetrate the outer layer of teeth. They are also controllable, allowing a cosmetic dentist to adjust the level of whitening to meet the patient's needs and goals and it is considered as non-invasive treatment for patients with dental anxiety and those who are seeking results without having to undergo cosmetic surgery such as porcelain veneers and dental crowns.
Side effects: There are some side effects and risks associated with the teeth whitening procedure such as gum sensitivity which is one of the most common problems with teeth whitening. Gum sensitivity can result if the whitening gel comes into contact with the gums causing irritation; however, it is temporary, and can be greatly mitigated with experience and a proper treatment plan. The degree of whiteness de-pends on several factors, including: patient's degree of discoloration, his lifestyle and dietary habits and whether the he wears the whiten-ing trays as directed (in cases of at-home teeth whitening).
Although, most teeth whitening systems minimize gum and tooth sen-sitivity, a person who normally has sensitive teeth and gums is more likely to experience irritation during or after professional bleaching. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, other alternatives include the placement of porcelain veneers or crowns are the choice of treat-ment.

Once again, we are ushering in the summer. This is a special time in the Gulf region as it comes with a mix of welcomed, extended periods of daylight and, most times, arduous rises in tempera-ture. Nevertheless, we have be-come accustomed to these yearly changes, as it often affords us much desired beach time, evening picnics, and vacation travel. As you make plans for this upcoming period, allow me to make a few recommendations to encourage prudent, informed choices for your safety, your enjoyment and, most importantly, your health this summer!
Whether you decide to stay local or perhaps spend your summer at an international, exotic desti-nation, the following 4 remind-ers may be useful to you. Firstly, please remember to consult with your primary physician or health center. This is often a good pre-caution for those with existing conditions who plan to travel or engage in events (local and for-eign) that may pose potential health risks. This is also important if you are travelling to destina-tions that require precaution to would-be visitors. Such a process can clearly also benefit those without existing health concerns. Secondly, please allow me to re-mind you that, while you are on vacation from work, you are not on vacation from your health. As one who travels frequently, I know that it can be difficult to seek out healthy options in new places and airports. As such, you may be able to overcome this by packing a few snacks for your journeys. Some delicious and healthy options in-clude nuts, cereal and fruit. These carry well, and generally adhere to airport security checks. Never
mind about drinks, it is generally easy to acquire water and healthy fruit drinks void of high fructose corn syrup during your journey. This is highly important if you decide to stay within the Gulf as sweltering summer temperatures can quickly rob you of necessary nutrients. Thirdly, please respect the sun in all its glory! Sunblock is definitely a must if you and the kids are plan-ning on spending extended time outdoors. Please ignore the in-correct myth that darker skinned people do not require protection from the sun. So make sure you and the family are well prepared for the evening boat ride, the days willed with swimming, biking and walking, and even the great games of football, as excessive sun exposure can be detrimental to anyone’s health. Lastly, let me provide a note to as-sist you in preserving your mental health, by trying to prepare well for travel with kids. The last thing you would like to do is return from vacation more tired than when you left or to experience some unfortunate mishap while away. In order to reduce the chances of such outcomes, it would be use-ful to assemble a good first aid supply that includes sanitizers; cold, flu, food poisoning, indiges-tion medications, and vitamins (in particular vitamin C). Along with all of this, be sure to make provi-sions to overcome jetlag. If you are travelling across international time zones make sure to properly secure and discard medicines and possibly harmful agents from mi-nors. Beyond, these precautions, you can add you personal or family specific touches to make sure that this summer will be one to enjoy and remember!
Have a Healthy Summer!

"A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe." -Thomas Keller.
I was a very creative kid. I always had this desire to get my hands into some mess. Paint, chalk, markers, you name it! I took on painting and it was quite fun. After some time though, I still felt like I wasn't really fulfilled. I slowly start-ed to lose interest and felt like I needed to get my hands into something new, something that would open up new doors. I wanted to get lost in creativity. That’s when I found my path to the magical world of pots and pans. They be-come my paint buckets and paint brushes. Now, at 20, I'm lost in a world of new aromas and delicious flavors.
A while back, I decided to take on Kuwaiti cooking. Thanks to my loving mother, Kuwaiti cooking has made me fall in love with cooking even more. It’s not just a few spices thrown together, it’s experimenting and turning your dish into a work of art.
Stay tuned for some real Kuwaiti cooking here!

How much do you love your pets? Wouldn't you want to give them the love and care they deserve? Imagine your pets living a lifr with minimal (if any, at all!) health issues. Do you know how that can be achieved? With proper diet. Here we speak to Ku-wait's first pet food home-based business owner, Sumaya Cher-ri about her business Nature's Pets.
What is Nature's Pets?The name was derived from our main focus on bringing back what our domestic pets have been longing for: living a natural lifestyle the way Mother Nature intended. Since it was our choice to bring these animals into our homes and away from their natural habitat, it is also our responsibility to give them care in every aspect! Nature’s Pets is a local small business that produces the very finest all-natural nutri-tional formulas and treats for your beloved pets. The products are made with care and under individual control.
When did you start keeping cats?I have always had pets in my life growing up; everywhere I went I was a cat magnet. I connected very easily with them whether they were stray or domestic. Whenever an opportunity came to save, medicate or rehome a cat, I took it.
What made you start this business?Simply, my love for pets and their health. One day, I sat watching my cat Ruby eating his canned food and biscuits and I realized that some-thing is not right. Why is my cat eating some strong smelling food and dried up biscuits? I wanted to know more. I began researching day and night, intensively, about the nutritional requirements and how I can obtain them using natural fresh ingredients rather than supplement-ing them. As days passed by, I also began to notice so many pet food companies were removing their supplies off the market since 2007 due to the amounts of diseases that they have caused to pets. Finally, when I was in the U.S. which the home of pet food companies, I decid-ed to take the matter into my own hands and not rely on companies and created my own natural and healthy food for my pets. How many cats do you have? Currently, I own 9 cats, Ruby- a 2 year old Persian Male, his 7 month old son Tommy, which is a mix breed of Persian and Doll Face, a 2 year old Persian Chinchilla Um Khodood (Miss Cheeks), whom I was helping recover from fungus and ear mites, and her beautiful 6 little kittens! However, this number is never stable, as I always have cats coming and going.
What are the meals made up of?The meals follow a formulated 'prey model,' which, studies have shown, is the closest to what the prey content is. It consists mainly of proteins, organs and bones and all the vitamins come from the fresh
Mother Nature's WayGive Your Pets Real Love
49
ingredients them-selves. There is also the additional ome-gas (Omega 3 &6) for the meals to be bal-anced.
Where do you get the meats from? All meats are class ‘A’ meats that are made for human con-sumption. They are bought at supermar-kets, butchers and farms. Additional vitamins are bought from the United States.
What are the ben-efits of the food you provide?It is more of a dras-tic lifestyle change! Your pet will exhibit changes inside and out starting with a much softer natural hair coat and shine. The new diet will al-low themto regain energy due to the fact that now their digestive system is functioning the way it should be. Also a stronger immune system, resulting in less trips to the vet, and most important-
ly being on this diet adjusts your pets' weight and build muscle. Last but not least, ending your suffering from stinky bad breath and odor from the litter box.
Why is it consid-ered better than other brands?The current brands available at your stores and markets are loaded with chemical preserva-tives, added colors, flavor enhancers and artificial vita-mins. Wouldn’t you rather eat natural and healthy unpro-cessed food? Just as unhealthy foods af-fect every aspect of our life it also affects the life of your pets. The hair, the immu-nity to diseases, the digestive system, the strength and nature of your pet are all dependant on the food they consume. Our food is based on health and care rather than profit and processing. To give your pets back their health, vitality,
strength and care is what we offer. Nothing is more im-portant than that to your pets.
What are your plans for the fu-ture?My aim and vision for the future is be the first in Kuwait and the Gulf region to raise awareness about healthier pet food. I plan to es-tablish a business or rather a home where all pet owners can gather as a commu-nity to learn, share and educate each other, a place not only for products but also a platform for pet owners and pet health care provid-ers to discuss their pets health.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.My name is Ali Haider. I'm a single father of the most amazing 13-year old girl in the world. I have a several diplomas in field of me-chanical engineering. My ambition is to further my education in the field of photography.
When did your interest in photography begin?It started with my passion for cars. I love cars, their design and architecture is impressive to me. I start-ed as a photographer of cars as a hobby, and later started to expand little by little. In my opinion one should be specialized in a certain kind of photog-raphy. I don't believe in being a jack of all trades when it comes to photog-raphy. Of course in the beginning I was given a walkthrough in photography by some of the most experienced local photographers, es-pecially renowned pho-tographer Yousef Al-Kan-dari who was in charge of
Bayt Lothan's Photogra-phy Club.
The club includes some of Kuwait's best photogra-phers. I believe that being around them helped me polish my skills immense-ly.
What are the achieve-ments you are most proud of?I have been very fortu-nate lately. In the sports season 2011-2012 I cov-ered 34 local and interna-tional events, and that's one thing I am very proud of. One of the difficulties I faced was the fact that some of those events were held indoors with poor lighting, but I man-aged to get the pictures at the right angle.
I also covered the Moto-cross World Champion-ship in Qatar; Gymnas-ticsTrampoline in Aspire Academy also in Qatar; the Kuwait National Rally; Qatar International En-duro, and several other events.
How do you improve your skills as a photog-rapher?Improving skills is quite tough when you're try-ing to get into such a big realm as photography. I try to read and I get my-self engaged in fruitful discussion and conversa-tion with colleagues in the same field. I also believe that practice makes per-fect, so I try to practice as much as I can.
Who would you like to thank? Quite a lot of people in fact! Let's start with the-CITY Magazine, for their support of Kuwaiti talent. I especially thank them for giving me the opportunity to be the photographer of theCITY Runway, their successful fashion show in cooperation with Even-to. I would like to thank everyone in Bayt Lothan, and every single person who helped me whether by giving instructions or criticism for my work.

Nancy Jamaleddine came to Kuwait as a television director with an ambitious plan and a creative attitude to work with Al-Watan. As a woman in her field, the odds were stacked against her as the perception of powerful, female directors was still a relatively new idea which many people had issues with. However, with Nancy’s perseverance and with the support which Kuwait has given her, she helped change that perception for the better. Now she is the woman behind a top-rated TV show and she celebrates her achievements by giving other deserving women in Kuwait the platform they need to shine and grow.
Where are you from?I am from Beirut, Lebanon.
When did you come to Ku-wait?I came to Kuwait in April of 2007.
What do you do?I'm a TV director. I mainly run the two famous, Kuwaiti shows, ‘Banat w Bas’ with Hessa Al-Loughani, and I co-direct the famous late night show ‘Taw il Lail.’ I also have an upcoming show which will hopefully air during this Ramadan, on both Al-Watan & Funoon.
Why did you choose Kuwait as your home? Well, honestly, it was not planned. After graduating with a BA in Communication from Notre Dame University I started as an assistant director for Rotana TV, under Stu-dioVision in Lebanon. Two years later I started directing. At that point I met Mr. Ahmad Al Doghaji, and when they were recruiting for Al-Watan, Mr. Doghaji contacted me. What I had originally planned on was to work with them to help start a TV station and, by doing so, add plenty of valuable and special experience to my resume. Once I had done that I was definitely planning on going back to my beloved Beirut. Then we started prepping; working long hours; testing; and doing dry rehearsals for months. Then we went on air and I absolutely loved the result.
Eventually, months and years passed and my shows started to get bigger and more famous than I had ever expected. In time, Kuwait grew on me and it helped me build my name. Moreover, Al-Watan TV supported me in every way. All my crazy ideas; visions; filming in Ku-wait; abroad; covering things we dreamed of—they made it hap-pen. What I love about Al-Watan TV is that they allow creativity. Even when things don’t turn out great, they don't stop you from trying and learning. You rarely find people happy with their jobs—but I am! I have the most viewed show in the Gulf. Sometimes it even gets to number 1 in the ratings! At Al-Watan, nothing stops us from achieving our next big thing.
What do you love most about Kuwait?I'm a proud Lebanese, who never thought of moving out. Obviously, moving to Kuwait was hard, but at first it was all about work, proj-ects, and big dreams so the initial time flew by. Then I started min-gling and my best friend Hessa Al-Loughani—my presenter—had a big part in making me love Kuwait. In short: Kuwait has a lot of love to give. The people, the support, the family traditions are so close to where I come from, and the so-ciety is very friendly and open to new ideas. Everywhere I go they know me, and they are proud of my work. The compliments I hear from people—friends as well as
people I don't know—makes me love every bit of my work and makes me love Kuwait. I feel at home.
What do you think of the Ku-waiti lifestyle and culture?I come from a similar background. I am an Arab so most of the tra-ditions I was raised with are the same here. This makes it easier for me. As for the lifestyle, I’ve learned to create my own lifestyle in Kuwait in order to cope with ev-erything. Due to my job, I travel a lot. I also have good friends and I am very social. I love to interact with people, so you will see me out in plenty of social events here.
How much of an impact has Ku-wait had on your life?Kuwait has a big impact on my life. People go to the States to "live the American dream”—Well, I am living my dream out here. I achieved a lot here and I made a bigger name for myself in the in-dustry.
What have you gained from Kuwait and given Kuwait?One thing that I did in Kuwait and that I am so proud of is the way I helped change the perception of women in Arab television. Back when I started my show 'Banat w Bas,’ the first two years were a disaster. No Kuwaiti girl wanted to be on the show. It was a taboo. Their families disapproved and they thought it was a disgrace.
Hessa and I had a hard time, but we never lost faith in what we be-lieve in. Eventually, we proved to everyone that they were wrong and, with time, we changed the way people perceive television or any kind of media. Now we are proud to have the finest Kuwaiti ladies on our show and to shed light on the amazing things they do. Now my show is a leading show in Kuwait. We have become trendsetters for ladies: we bring them fashion, travel, pioneering women, film festivals, celebrities, and, most importantly, we encour-age them to stand out. Kuwait gave me all that I need in order to get to where I am now. Every time I get statistics about my show as a top rated show in the Middle East, my heart skips a beat! What does Kuwait mean to you on a personal level?Kuwait is where my best friends live and where my show is num-ber one. I don't feel like I am away from home. The love, apprecia-tion, and care everyone shows me here is indescribable.
What would you like to say to Kuwait if you could?I see lots of hidden talents and dreams in young Kuwaitis. From my side, I’m trying to shed a light on as much of that talent as I can through my shows in order to give them the chance to be recognized. Let's give Kuwait support and be-lieve in it, and it will shine!

An "every day" look is a look that has to be natural containing natural colors like tones of nude and brown and thats what the talented makeup artist Farah applied on Khadeija Alshimmiri.
The foundation I chose was Madly Yours with a tone that suits the complexion, and it was set with loose powder. The blush I chose was a warm peachy color from Nouba and Madly Yours to highlight the cheekbone and to make the blush stand out. The pallet used in this look was Urban Decay's 'Naked.' I chose this pallet because it has mostly warm natural tones. An everyday look does not want to be filled with colors or thick eyeliner, so what I did is only draw a small eyeliner angle in the inner corner of the eye while giving the outer corner the effect of an eyeliner look. It was finished off with lashes from Kiss. I added BeYu volume mascara on the lower and upper lashes. To finish up the look, a great natural peach lipstick will be perfect. @makeupbyfarah_kw

We're in love with the vibrant colors and chic designs
of Amani's outfits. We're hardcore supporters of all
creative females in Kuwait (girl power!) and Amani is
no exception. Take a look at those wonderful designs
and make sure you get in touch with Amani -- with
summer approaching and Ramadan followed by Eid,
you'll certainly need to dress to impress, and Amani's
got your back! Here is our little chitchat with her.
Give us some background information about you. I'm Amani Al-Terkait. By day I work as a radiology specialist, and after
work I enjoy my passion, which is fashion and photography. I fell in
love with colors and fabrics at an early age. Growing up, I watched my
mother cut and sew fabrics, which was her favorite hobby. You can say
I took after her. I started designing in 2004, mostly for myself and my
little daughter. I just wanted to create my own look and be different
than everybody else.
What makes your designs unique in your opinion?I guess my attention to detail. I spend a lot of time on each piece, and
my motto is quality over quantity -- so I only participate in 2 events
every year. I like the end result to be neat and clean, and of course
stylish. I like every detail to be polished and perfect.
What do you think of other designers here in Kuwait? Did
you have any collaborations?I haven't had the fortune to collaborate with any designers yet, but I
truly admire many of the talents we have here in Kuwait.
Do you have a store?Not yet. I'm currently only a home-business.
What are your future plans?My future plan is to open a fashion cafe or a salon concept, which is
hopefully going to be my next step once I'm established here as a de-
signer.

When summer is here, all that we think about is how to get that golden tanned color! Are you wondering which outfits and accessories would go with your tanned color?
When I think about summer, al-ways the neon colors pop into my head! Any simple outifit/dress will pop more with your tanned colors and a simple or maybe statement pieces of bright ac-cessory, with a different color of a bright pair of sandals. Summer is all about mixing and matching colorful shades.
Turquoise is a summer jewelry staple. The bright hue instantly perks up any outfit and adds the right dose of bohemian-cool to it!
And next to the turquoise, there is the coral that we cannot get enough of. The colors of sea wa-ters and desert sunsets, these bright summer hues find their way into any piece as the temper-
ature rises. A classic coupling in jewellery and nature, turquoise and coral complement each oth-er beautifully. Warm coral paired with cool turquoise just feels refreshing, like swimming in the sea after soaking up the sun.
Pastels never really go out of fashion, especially in summer. They are a wonderful way of cre-ating a look that is girly, summery and stylish. Pastels fall back in and out of fashion depending on the time of year, but they always tend to work well as a failsafe summer accessories color when you need them.
And as I mentioned, we are ready to show off our tanned colour so you may show your tanned feet also! As for foot accessories, just choose the right nail color and the right sandals to compliment your feet, and put on some an-klets, a cute toe ring or even both to make them look sexier!
Hello Summer!

It's rare today to see a window display that really stops you in your tracks. It just doesn't happen very often. Walking down the boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes, France is a journey through an exciting and interesting show of mannequins. It isn't how much money you spend on a display; it is how clever and imaginative a display designer or a visual merchandiser can be, and how they can translate ideas into re-ality using a modest budget. Mannequins, lights, and ordinary things are used to create wonders through the magic of display, and make retailing a form of entertainment.
Display is an art form, not a show of figures and torsos backed up by a monsterous photograph. Retailers should know and understand the value of display, and know how to target their customers with pre-sentations that enhance the products. Famous designer shops, bou-tiques, and department stores in major cities feature spectacular and innovative window displays all year long. But have you ever wondered what the window displays in the relaxed south of France look like? Let me tell you.
Hermés window display, Cannes 2013. At Hermés the display designers created an underwater life display. The didn't use mannequins, but formed sculptures of a female and a male wild swimmers out of hundreds of shiny blue acrylic fish diving for high luxury Hermés merchandise in the turquoise waters of the Cote d'azure. Vital and exciting display composition. A unique treat for the eyes.
Hugo Boss window display, Cannes 2013.Hugo boss is all set to set sail on the cool blue waters with a series of sea-going summertime vignettes. The clever use of glowing neon sky/sea background adds great kinetic energy to the look. A brilliant impact of light against silver mannequins. A strong vertical statement in an elegant yacht somewhere off the coast of France.
Dior window display, Cannes 2013.Dior believes in repetition in theses windows. Repetition can be bor-ing- or it can be a reinforcement of an idea. The designers created a display that has a timeless and unique philosophical approach re-lated to the inspiration behind the collection. And what goes inside the mind of lady Dior. Breaking the repetition of interior doors using a lady Dior bag in red leather or a Barbie doll all dressed in Dior is a total attention- getter.
Dolce&Gabbana window display, Cannes 2013.Sometimes you don't need to see a window filled with panels and shiny stuff to back up the merchandise. D&G classically presented their Sicilian inspired collection against a red velvet curtain. The dis-play team believed that just using effective lighting will help empha-size the exquisite details on the dress forms.
Chanel window display, Cannes 2013.Chanel window display always takes and uses the concept of its sea-sonal fashion show both ready-to-wear or haute couture shows. The sliding shoji door used to create a mood of ultra-sophisticated sky-scrapers of downtown Singapore. The positioning of the mannequins is tying the composition together and leading the viewers' eye to a colonial style mixed with Parisian riviera chic.

Making Waves
Mohammad Burabia is a young national champion in the sport of jet ski racing. With several titles under his belt, Burabia is a true inspiration for Kuwaiti youth. Here is our conversation with him.
Can you tell us a little bit about the sport that you play and when your passion for it started?
The sport I play is jet ski racing. I started in 2006 when I was 17. My role model is my older brother. We used to practice together whenever we went to the chalet.
Where do you usually practice now? I still practice mostly at our chalet and also I practice in Kuwait Sea Club. I practice three times a week, on Friday, Saturday and on Tuesday.
What are your achievements so far? Now many compe-titions did you win?I won 15 times the World Championship within 6 years in the USA. I also won 3 times in the UAE championship, 5 times in local tournaments, and I won the second place in the Asia Beach Games Tournament in Oman. Today I am the 3rd person in the world have 15 titles, and next October I will compete again in an international champi-onship. My gaol is to get the biggest number of awards worldwide.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?I am 24 years old. I have a job, but this is my passion. I spend most of my free time if not jet skiing then fish-ing, swimming, or traveling. I have a work station where I spend time working on jet skis.
Do you get enough support from people about the sport that you love?Yes, I get quite a lot of support from my family. Both my parents are supportive, as well as my older brother who helped me take the first steps towards this ambition.
What is your advise to other sports enthusiasts?Safety. I cannot stress this enough. Taking safety precau-tions is vital. Wear your life suit, helmet, gloves and com-plete safety gear. I also advise enthusiasts to never give up. If it's your passion and you think you can do some-thing big, then do it.
Who would you like to thank?I would like to especially thank theCITY Magazine for its support. It's really good to see that a magazine is focus-ing on Kuwaiti talent like this. I also like to thank my spon-sors Marco Marine and PrioriderKW, Kuwait Sea Club and the Public Authority for Youth and Sports. I also would like to thank Alshaya Marine for sponsoring me for the year 2013.

The Stunning Mercedes SLS
To many automobile enthusiasts, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL was the pinnacle of sports car design. With its low-slung stance and distinctive gullwing doors, the 300SL was the first gasoline-powered car equipped with fuel injection directly into the combustion chamber, and it solidified the German carmaker's reputation for crafting highly desirable, slick sports cars.Now, more than 50 years later, Mercedes is revisiting the legendary Gullwing with the all-new 2011 SLS AMG. The first car developed from scratch by their in-house performance arm AMG, the new Gullwing is proof that Mercedes-Benz can still manufacture true high-end sports cars. This one is sure to become a classic.
the AUTO By Hisham

Under the HoodThis slick vehicle uses the same hand-built 6.3-liter V8 engine that powers other AMG products. In the SLS, it produces 571 horse-power at 6800 rpm and 479 lb-ft of torque at 4750 rpm. Compared with other versions of this engine, which make 525 horses, the SLS engine has a reworked valve train and camshafts, flow-optimized tu-bular headers, a better-breathing intake system and a less-restric-tive exhaust system.
To optimize balance, the SLS has a front mid-engine design and a rear transaxle. The engine sits behind the front axle in an alumi-num spaceframe. It is linked to the 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission by a carbon-fiber composite driveshaft. The re-sult is a near-perfect 47/53 front/rear weight balance. Thanks to a dry sump oiling system with an ex-ternal oil reservoir, the engine sits
lower than it would with a taller oil pan, thus lowering the car's center of gravity.
With a dual-clutch design, the transmission uses one clutch to hold the current gear and one to ready the next. Gear shifts are in-stantaneous, with almost no loss of tractive power. The transmis-sion can be left in Drive to shift like an automatic, or drivers can shift manually via the gearshift or a pair of steering-wheel paddles. The transmission also has Com-fort, Sport and Sport Plus settings that change the shift schedule. EPA fuel-economy numbers are not yet available.
On the RoadFrom behind the wheel, the SLS AMG feels solid — like it's been carved from marble — but light and tossable. Those are the quali-ties of a stiff body structure at work. Turn the wheel, stab the throttle or push the brake pedal,
and the car reacts immediately. The steering feels firm and direct, and the car turns in quickly with little to no lean. The ride, predict-ably, is firmer than most would prefer, especially with the option-al Performance Suspension.
All the effort AMG has put into op-timizing the balance of the SLS has really paid off. With more weight over the rear wheels and tons of power on tap, you might think that the SLS would be a beast to drive, with a nasty tendency for the rear end to come around if you get on the throttle too early coming out of a turn. While some of that char-acter is certainly there, we found the SLS surprisingly easy to drive. Goose the throttle midturn and the rear end will start to kick out, but it's easy to catch, and a really good driver can drift and power over-steer the car through joyous arcs.
The power is monstrous, with will-ing response through all rev rang-
es. Floor it from a stop, and the 6.3-liter V8 engine barks like a big dog as it vaults the car to 60 mph in only 3.7 seconds. If you let off the throttle at that point, the engine crackles, pops and burbles like a stock car slowing for a pit stop. AMG calls it "controlled backfire." We call it cool. If you hold your foot to the floor, the SLS AMG just keeps accelerating all the way up to an electronically limited 197 mph. But if you just want to take it easy, the car is perfectly willing to amble slowly along the boulevard, with only the droning engine note detracting from a relaxed cruise.
The engine is well-matched to the new 7-speed dual-clutch auto-mated manual transmission. In the Comfort setting, the transmission shifts at lower rpm to improve fuel economy. In the Sport and Sport Plus settings, the shifts are later, making power more readily avail-able. -MSNAuto

SportsCrazy!
Sports have played an important role in my life ever since I was very young. My interest be-gan since my first walking stages. I loved walking! I'm not sure if all kids do love that, but I was quite addicted to walking as a kid. I loved the excitement that I felt when football matches started, espe-cially when the scores were close until the very end of the game--not forgetting the happiness that overcame me when my favorite team won. I started playing football at the age of 5, and started professionally when I was at the age of 11. I believe playing sports has helped develop and change me into the person I am to-day. Unlike many people's relationship with sports, I feel that it is something I truly can't live without.
One of my most memo-rable moments was at my first football match. I scored the last goal, bring-ing our team to a win. The July heat in Kuwait was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. We were drenched in sweat as we ran back and forth to get the ball. “Get the ball!” The coach yelled. We were down by one score in the last minutes. I was running towards the ball and had no teammates next to me, but I tried my best and snatched the ball from the attacker. I was ready for this moment; this is why I stayed late after every practice; this is why I was the captain
of the team; this was my moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a scorer and my ability to be a leader under pressure. I stepped up and ran to the other team’s goal and passed by all the attackers and the coach screamed, “Ali, shoot! Let’s go num-ber 17!” That made me even more nervous, but now I was more deter-mined than ever to kick the ball. I knew that I had to find a way to lead my team to victory. All of my hard work and dedication should pay off now! The goalkeeper went through his motions and just stood there like a wall. He was staring at me, daring me to shoot! I ran for the goal, and when I was near I kicked the ball with all my strength. I made it! My coach and teammates leaped with joy because we had just won the semi-final game!
I believe my strength gave me the ability to kick the ball. My teammates and I would always joke around about who had the big-gest muscles, who could bench the most weight and who could run the fastest. I was the stron-gest that day!
I feel like being a part of this team and other teams, taught me a lot about getting along with people. It taught me that you had to get along with everyone on the team because each player has his job to do. I did my job
by scoring when my team
needed me most. When
my coach selected me to
be team captain of Al-Ara-
bi team, I felt like it was
because I had gained the
respect of my coaches and
teammates. As team cap-
tain, I remember the time
I had to give a speech to
my team because we had
lost an important game.
“We played a great game.
You shouldn’t hang your
heads. We gave it our best
and that is all I can ask
from you. We ran, threw,
and hit our hardest until
the game was over. All
the hard work paid off.
We should be proud of
our effort and the way we
played the game.” I was
nervous, but knew it was
my responsibility to cheer
my team up when they
were down. This experi-
ence has helped me be-
come more independent.
I’m obtaining the ability to
talk like a leader in front
of my team and a group.
Sports helped me realize
that you can’t win at ev-
erything in life until you
work hard for it. Through
sports, I have learned to
cope with losing and win-
ning. I have a special sign
in my room that says: “You
can learn little from vic-
tory. You can learn every-
thing from defeat.”

It's that time of the year again. We are left with the same question one again: What are we going to do this summer? Which country are we going to visit? What will our sleepovers schedule look like?
Well, let me tell you how I like to plan my summer. The first thing I do is hit the beach with my best friends. We need some time to relax and release the tension from all the hard work we did throughout the year for our grades, right? I mean, we all need some relaxation from time to time, and what better time than the beginning of the holiday? I’m sure I'm not alone in this; a lot of people go to the beach after the finals. The heat of the summer, tanning, jet skis, banana boats and even yacht trips is what summer's all about!
Each person starts his summer in his own way, but here are some suggestions I have for your summer.
I know it's hot, but you know what beats the heat in my opinion? A bicycle ride. Get into your shorts, put on a tank top and take a bike ride around your neighbourhood. Simply enjoy the hot fresh air with your friends. The more the bikes, the better it's going to be. But don't forget your bottle of water and a hat to protect your head from the sun!
How about playing other games outdoors? Outdoor games are extremely fun, and since the summer is going to be really hot then maybe you should include water in your outdoor games. For example, water balloons, water guns, or do something more useful and actually wash the cars of your parents and neighbours. A car wash is ALWAYS fun; it's a chance to spray your friends or brothers/sisters with water freely! Be unique in your outdoor activities by just adding water to your games to avoid the summer heat.
What about at night? Stay up as late as you like. Yes! It’s the best summer activity! Sleeping late or in the morning is the most amazing experience you’re going to go through. Movies, yummy food, and good company! Isn't that the best thing?
If you're staying up late with a group of friends, take a walk late in the evening or early in the morning. The weather then is excellent and it's very safe in Kuwait, thank God. Or you can sleep outside. I mean actually outside, in the garden, if you can. It should be quite fun!With all this free time, you still have one thing left.. Take this time to achieve your goals in life.
You have three months to have lots of fun, so enjoy your time but make sure you get some work done. Achieve some goals, and if you have any pending projects, this is the perfect time to tackle them. Have a lovely summer. Enjoy and be happy!

Real Name: Catarina BarbosaHome Country: PortugalAge: 17 Height: 168 cmWeight: 71 kg Eye Color: Black Hair Color: Black Base of Operation: THE 99 Steps Foundation, Seville, Spain
Character Profile:
Catarina Barbosa was a runaway teen that lived on the streets and fought for everything she ever had. She traveled from country to country, often as a stowaway. And along the way, she became an ex-pert fighter.
When Catarina reached the UAE, she entered the Abu Dhabi Grappling Championship by pretending to be a boy. She won several matches before her ruse was discovered. Booted out, Catarina was approached by operators of an illegal fighting ring based in Cairo. Catarina became a champion fighter for the organization, still disguising her gender.
Nawaf—known to THE 99 as Jabbar—convinced Catarina to join Dr. Ramzi’s cause after he fought her in a grueling arena battle.
Mumita wears her gem in a custom-designed combat gauntlet. She retains many of her rough edges; she’s often sarcastic, particularly to Noora, whom she regards as a spoiled rich girl. But since joining THE 99, Mumita has tackled her studies with a vengeance and discovered she has a hidden talent for chess. Dr. Ramzi has reminded her more than once that she must learn when not to be the Destroyer, as well as when to embrace her power.
Perhaps Dr. Ramzi sees Mumita as a possible successor to him one day, if she can master her violent nature. This causes further friction with Noora, who, as one of the most senior members, see herself as the natural leader.
Powers:Enhanced speed, strength, agility, and reflexes.Nearly invulnerable.

Aloha readers! It’s summertime! And as they say, in summer hair gets lighter, skin gets darker, water gets warmer, drinks get colder, music gets louder, nights get longer, and life gets better!
There is no way better to start off your summer than being next to the beach, tanning and setting your mind free from everything! Personally summer is our favorite season, the ocean breeze with salty air and sun-kissed skin makes it perfect.
And, of course, let’s not forget the secret of having the hottest tan! We both favor Banana Boat over any product, just because it gives an amazing color after tanning, but we tend to mix more than one product together. First we start off by applying Banana Boat, and after 30 minutes we add the Carrot Coppertone. It’s also one of our favorite products to use for tanning!
We like trying out new places to spend in summer, but we always end up in tropical places which we love the most! Places with pools, beaches and hot weather give summer its meaning. Just when we're done from school, on top of our to-do list is to go summer shopping. Our favorite summer pieces are floral dresses, light flowy shirts, and a pair of Havianas
Summer basically is: No school. Sleepovers. Tanning. Beaches. Water fights. Tank tops. Flip flops. Lemonade. Sunglasses. Taking pictures. Late nights. Bikinis. Ice-cream. Memories. Warm air. Camps. Short shorts. Sleeping in. Summer Breeze. Tan lines. Sand castles. Long hair. Mud fights. Bonfires. Slushies. Pool parties. Sun-kissed hair. Palm trees. Barbques. Blue skies. Concerts. Make it count!

The show was quite a success; the room filled with roaring laughter at the comedians' jokes. Sayyood demonstrated to the audience how Kuwaitis from every different background have their unique way of saying 'hello.' Faisal Al-Basri pro-posed ideas that will help the audience in showing up late to work if they ever feel like doing that. Shaikha explained what Kaifan means to her, in full definition. Ibrahim Missisipi showed the pure and real hilari-ous sense of humor with his jokes. Ibrahim Al-Khairallah talked about how he's in fact quite different from a crocodile.

GRASSE FROM L`OCCITANE
PERFUMER IN PROVENCETHE SCHOOL OF GRASSETHE TRUE STORY OF COLLECTION DE GRASSEA PLACE THAT UNITES PRECIOUS INGREDIENTS FROM NEAR AND FAR
The story began quite by chance, with the creation of a pair of scented gloves. A guild of glove makes and perfumers emerged, prompting a development in the cultivation of fragrant plants from the Grasse region.Local growers learned to cultivate jasmine, rose and orange blossom. The most adventurous perfumers headed to the Far Eat in search of magnolia, or to Madagascar, in search of vanilla. At the end of the 18th century, it wa san undeniable fact: Europe drew its essence from Grasse.It is the world capital of perfumery. The greatest perfumers in the world learned their skills in the laboratories of Grasse.
“I Was Born With This Garden In My Head’’Karine Dubreuil, Perfumer For L’occitane A Love Of Provence And A Taste For SimplicityKarine Dubreuil shares a love of Provence and a taste for simplicity with Olivier Baussan, founder of the brand. Karine Dubreuil trained at the Roure school of perfumery in Grasse has already created one beautiful compositions for L’OCCITANE. Now, further strengthening the bond with L’OCCITANE, she has created La Collection de Grasse – a fragrance collection inspired by the town of her childhood.
PRECIOUS EXRACTSFROM CLOSE & DISTANT LANDSTWO BY TOW, THE IN-GREDIENTS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER
Magnolia from the Far East, blackberry from the south of France, green tea from Japan, bitter orange from Tunisia, jasmine from Grasse and Egypt, berga-mot from Italy, vanilla from Madagascar, narcissus from France… The list of ex-tracts chosen for this col-lection already takes you on a wonderful journey…Karine Dubreiul spontane-ously chose a figurative style. For a fragrance to have a true transparency, you must make no conces-sions when choosing your ingredients. Two by two, the ingredients have been brought together, using the ampersand, symbol to link the raw materials and give a name to each of the four Eaux de Toilette in La Collection de Grasse.

HOROSCOPESARIES (March 21 - April 20)Now is the time to consider taking a rest from your labors. Like many of your sign, you may have burned yourself out without once getting away for a few days of real rest. If you can manage to do so now, your health — and future productivity — would benefit immensely.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)Academic pursuits and/or specialized learning ac-tivities go well for you now. This could be a good time to take up the study of that musical instru-mennt you have been threatening to learn for many years. You could also run into some financial problems now.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22)Catch up with the world and try to stay out of dreamland. Your biggest fault is talking about grandiose plans and never getting off the dime to do something concrete about them. Your talents are virtually endless, but your love of ease and sloth can be your undoing.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)Upward and onward should be your cry now. Your abilities have never been tested so much as they are likely to be in a short time — but if you react with one-tenth of your capability, you could rise to the top of the pack with scarcely a feather ruffled. Speak seriously with an employer about your situ-ation
VIRGO (August 23 - September 23)An interesting new romantic situation could open up for you at this point — and it may well be with someone you already know and least suspect. Correct behaviour is important to you now, how-ever, as many eyes are on you. If you are already in a mate situation.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)Playing things safe might seem the wiser course, but it won’t bring that sweet knowledge of hav-ing stayed in the game to the end. Losing isn’t the worst thing that could happen. It could seem far worse at a later date not to have tried at all. And the chances might just be about 50-50 that you could win.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)Use every effort to get in touch with a close friend whom you have let slide into oblivion. There could be something truly amazing and exciting in it for you if you do. Social activities should be soft-pedaled for awhile until you find out more about a certain situation.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)Set up some intricate safeguards to protect your-self and your property, especially if you are deal-ing with a financial project of some size. Risking personal debt on an unproven project could bind you up for some time to come — but if it seems right, there is no reason why you shouldn’t take a solid position with savings or personal leverage.
CAPRICION (December 22 - January 19)Try turning yourself around by making an honest effort to look at both sides of a situation before sounding off. There is an excellent chance for you to improve your present financial or career position, but you may have to take the bull by the horns and move as quickly as an Olympic sprinter to do so.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)Stealing a kiss may seem like enormous fun at the time, but such simple pleasures could de-velop into big problems if the proper safeguards are not taken into consideration. Steer clear of fast-money schemes.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)Strongly consider rewarding your co-workers for the successful completion of a project for which you have received the lion’s share of credit. This could insure future loyalty and it might take no more than a simple pat on the back, although something more concrete might not be amiss.
TAURUS (April 21 - MAY 21)The knowledge you have in special areas has long been virtually wasted. Consider seriously baking advantage of your knowledge and your skills to make money for yourself for a change, instead of adding to the coffers of others. but not at a cheap price.
