True Hair Story





















So I have been trying to grow my hair for the longest time but had one of the most difficult cuts to grow out, the Pixie. I spent the whole of my holiday in France with hair envy but was determined to grow it. Having no style is like having no personality, in my case anyway. My hubby and daughter were begging me to let it grow. Dilemma. I tried and was pretty hair-miserable especially when I saw myself in a photo in a newspaper. Time for action. I thought I could have it cut into a bob but that still wasn't me and more work than I'm prepared to do every morning. So back to my trusted friend, Michelle, at Strands who then cut me a short, darn cute pixie which I adore. It's not really what others think is good for you, it is what you think is good for you. Surprisingly hubby loves it. And I am back!

Okay so the above photo is not of me but that colour is gorgeous or maybe some toffee highlights for Christmas. Loving my hair again.

Yay! Got mine, but that's because I hover over the keyboard waiting for the Box Office to open. You really, really shouldn't miss this. The amount of effort, enthusiasm, talent and sweat that goes into these shows is phenomenal.

See you there or be square, and super whiny because you missed it!

AWARE Diwaniya: LOVE LANGUAGES OF GOD
14.11.2017
By Iman Martin Graham Chapman, an American counselor wrote a book – Love languages of God. Written from the Christian point of view can it have any relevance in the Arab world and in particular for Muslims? In her 20 minute present Iman Martin will discuss these love languages, showing if and how they fit into Islam and for family relationships. All are welcome. Join us for a most engaging conversation.



AWARE Diwaniya: SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARABS AND WESTERNERS
21.11.2017
By Iman Martin Naturally we tend to look at the differences rather than similarities. Westerners coming to Kuwait / Middle East for the first time find many cultural differences and virtually all will go through culture shock to some degree. However, are there similarities between Arabs and Westerners? If so, what are they? Are we getting closer or more different? An opportunity to hear others opinion and voice your own. Join us for a most engaging conversation. Refreshments will be provided.

Is This Another Horror Story - More Dogs Die and Dying? Who Is To Blame?






A story is circulating that KLM has abandoned four Pit Bulls at Kuwait customs. Seeing as this breed of dog is banned in Kuwait it is presumed the dogs were held at the airport due to that reason.They have been there for more than a month. Three are still alive and one is dead through starvation. The others are extremely ill. 

Who is to blame? The owner who tried to bring them in? The airline for accepting them? The holding area for not making arrangements to feed them and/or inform KLM that they are refused entry?

Various organisations are trying to help as it seems the dogs are going to be euthanized - Pit Bulls are a banned breed in Kuwait - which is ironic as there are many that are trained and used for fighting in Kuwait. It's so sad and not the dogs' fault.
