Review: Fly High Kuwait

My 13 year old daughter was invited to an aerial yoga birthday party last night at JBMH other than the horrendous traffic trying to get in to the place (Thursday night) it was a great hit with the the girls. The mommies got to sit outside at this beautiful hotel and enjoy the weather and a peacefully quiet activity other than some squealing with delight as the instructors tried to encourage the girls into some pretzel-shaped moves.

The event was well organised and a fun, outdoor activity that I would highly recommend to anyone. For prices, more details of classes and party packages please see their website Fly High Kuwait .

They have other classes that look super fun too like the SUP yoga on the BOGA boards in the swimming pool - see below. Not so cheap but look out for any offers that might come up and have yourself some healthy fun.

Only because of the high price I give it a 9/10.

Review: Artspace Studio, Cafe and Gallery

Artspace is located on the 2nd floor (take the lift), Galleria Mall, Salem Al Mubarak Street, Salmiya. Tel. 9777 5273 Open daily from 11am-10pm except Friday 3pm-11pm.

Map

My dear friend and I went along for the morning today. A beautiful airy place, with a cute and very welcome coffee bar and a stunning collection of art on display by the incredibly talented Khalid Al Najdi.

We were given large canvases, easels, aprons, brushes, acrylics paints and our own instructor - excellent value so far for the KD 11 Mother's Day Special offer. We deviated slightly from the above schedule managing to convince Zaina to let us do one of her wonderful paintings instead, and because the other ladies who booked were really late, she gave in and let us do the painting that we both loved and had the perfect spot for at home.

Zaina gave us clear instructions at each stage. After drawing our outlines we got stuck in with the acrylic paints, copying the shapes, shading and finally highlighting. The initial outline I found quite easy to do, but the actual painting part was a bit trickier than I anticipated. Zaina was at hand all the way through to encourage, advise and even correct, if necessary. Both my friend and I were pretty happy with our efforts and we would definitely go back to Artspace again as we really enjoyed our experience.

My first attempt..

Thank you Artspace. It's a 9/10 from me for the whole experience but I'm sure if I get better I'll give it a 10/10.

Meanwhile, I shall be watching a few Youtube videos to 'brush' up my technique.

Happy Arabic Mothers' Day

Look Who Hopped Over The Fence to Take Pics With The Ducks at Boulevard, Salmiya

This made me mad. One of the ducks was hissing at the intruders but the parents of the kids were encouraging the young kids to get closer so they could take pics. And if the duck should peck, bite or hurt the kids, because he is protecting his duck family from these morons, then what?
