I was on the way home and my mom calls me up to go exchange the gas cylinder we have. I reach the place and to my surprise they were finally selling the new light weight gas cylinders. Here are the specs:

- Light weight steel cylinders
– Special Quality Stainless Steel
– More Environmentally friendly (made from recycled materials)
– Only 8 KG
– Safe
– Easy handling (thanks to plastic easy grip handles)
– Fits existing gas regulators
– Aesthetic shape and look
- Exchangeable with old cylinders but you have to pay a little extra (4.500 KD) but if you already have one, you only pay (.750 fils) to exchange the empty cylinder.

I recommend everyone to get one as it is much safer to use, and easier to handle around the house.

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic morning. I feel fabulous today and super energetic, and it’s all because of the juice! Usually it takes me at least an hour to get out of bed but today I got up right away, no hesitations, no hitting the snooze button! Regarding all the questions you have been having about the juices: I do not make the juice myself, I enrolled in Baking Tray’s 3 Day Juice Detox.

Baking Tray has recently launched the 1, 2, and 3 days Juice Detox Program. All juices are freshly made and delivered right to your doorstep early in the morning and what is amazing about this program is that they offer 24 hour support if you ever have any questions during your detox.

At first it might seem like you are giving up a lot but your body knows how to heal itself if you give it a vacation. After juice cleansing for a few days the gastrointestinal tract will begin to clear itself of the residue accumulated for your busy lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits. It’s so amazing that such simple actions can help you recharge quickly and greatly improve your life.

On that note, at 8 PM yesterday I finished off day 1 of my Detox with the “Master Cleanse.” It contains apples, cucumbers, red beets, spinach leaves, avocado, and parsley. Parsley keeps your immune system strong, tones your bones and heals the nervous system. It helps flush out excess fluid from the body, thus supporting kidney function. The folic acid in the herb is like a tonic for your heart. Use parsley daily, and you’ll feel relief from joint pain. That’s because the herb has anti-inflammatory properties.

“Master Cleanse,” contains Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, E, and K, magnesium, calcium, iron, folic acid, phosphorus, boron, beta-carotene, amino acids, silicon, chlorophyll, suplphur, and antioxidants.

Since some people are really interested in the detox and others are not so interested. I will be posting about Day 2 of my Detox at the end of today all in one post (timings, ingredients, nutrients, and more). If anyone is intrigued to detox contact Baking Tray on: 90029209.

Good morning Everyone! Hope you all had a good night’s sleep, I just wanted to clear something up before getting into this morning’s post. If anyone comments in an offensive manner or disrespects either myself, the blog  or other fellow readers then the comments will be deleted. You all have the freedom to feel free and express the way you want but within certain limits. I will not tolerate rude or offensive people and I am sure the readers won’t either so please try to keep the comments respectful; you can always get your point across without trashing anyone.

Now that I cleared that up, on Saturday June 15th at 12pm you can now officially change your mobile network without having to change your number! This can happen in a few easy steps:
1) Update your personal data at your current network operator
2) Pay your current balance (at the new network operator)
3) Fill in the required application form available at the operator you wish to switch too
4) Send a free sms with the word port to 7678
That’s it! The number will be switched free of charge within the next 24 hours!

So, what do you guys think? Is this a good thing or bad thing? I know that a lot of companies will probably lose a lot of clients because of this but at the same time I know that if a client is satisfied with his current operator he would never switch, any thoughts?

According to Torrent Freak, there has been a scam going around attacking internet users who download illegal movies/content from the internet. The people running the scam are impersonating Interpol informing users that they either pay fines for their illegal behavior or they will be thrown in jail. The page that comes up on the screen when the e-mail is opened is from the Kuwaiti Ministry and apparently, as soon as the mail is opened it takes over  your whole device leaving you with no other choice other than to reboot your whole PC. It’s ironic I came across this article since just today I posted about using and abusing technology. You can read the full article and view the video here.

Thank you [Mark Lorenz]

In the presence of prominent marine dealers in Kuwait, PH7 Events represented by the Managing Director, Zeina Mokaddam, and Nouf Al Hajri, PH7 Events General Manager, has announced the start of the preparations for the second edition of Kuwait Yacht Show 2014 which will be held under the patronage of H.H Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al- Hamad Al- Sabah, Prime Minister of the state of Kuwait. The second edition comes to confirm the overwhelming success of the first edition and establish KYS as a yearly, awaited event. Intensive preparations have started to insure that next year’s show will be on a higher level, offering a wide range of yachts, boats and marine equipment from local, regional and international dealers. It will also shed light on the local boat builders and local water sports teams.

“Following the great success of the first edition of the Kuwait Yacht Show, PH7 Events is preparing for a bigger and more encompassing show for 2014,” Zeina Mokaddam stated. “The support we received during during the first show was tremendous. From Government bodies, to sponsors, exhibitors and visitors, it truly felt like the whole of Kuwait participated in the success of the show.”

Kuwait Yacht Show 2014 is set to attract larger boats and yachts, and PH7 Events have booked two pontoons to cater for these noting that for 2014 in-water and on-land exhibits will be gathered in one area.

“Kuwaitis’ love for their country emulates their love to the sea and our clients are dedicated to bringing their heritage to the forefront.” - Khalid Al Muhanna, Marina Yacht Club Manager.

*The Kuwait Yacht Show 2014 will be held at Marina Crescent from the February 2nd – 7th.

A friend of mine was recently supposed to undergo surgery for gastric bypass but she recently got a call from the doctor cancelling the surgery. The cause is that the Ministry of Health stopped all weight-loss surgeries (in public and private sectors, and medical centers) due to the fact that Kuwait is not following proper global surgery standards. As much as I hate to say this, but I agree 100%, it seems like nowadays everyone who is a doctor suddenly seems qualified to give surgeries that are not even within their field! I followed up this issue by reading about it in Kuwait Times and I was shocked that patients who did not meet the international weight standard for the procedure were undergoing surgery JUST because the doctor wanted some extra cash and one of the main reasons for the issue of this decree is that the equipment used in the procedures were NOT approved by the food and drug association (FDA). I am glad that the Ministry of Health took this step, but at the same time I feel bad for the doctors who ARE actually qualified and had to stop their surgeries due to this Ministerial Decree; but hopefully now the Ministry of Health will implement the proper global standards and patients can undergo the surgery without fear of complications.

The Body Shop, one of the 21st Century’s most iconic and pioneering brands, is launching an aspirational new beauty movement that will inspire and engage customers for generations to come and transform the boundaries of beauty. Called Beauty With Heart, this new beauty movement will mobilize new generations of consumers to join forces as a community of activist-minded beauty devotees.

Beauty With Heart places unprecedented emphasis on a beauty experience that is much more than skin-deep. Through its Beauty with Heart Movement, The Body Shop is putting a very human stamp on beauty, empowering consumers the world over to not only look good but to feel good and do good through using the brand’s products. How do you look good, feel good, and do good you might ask?

Look Good: As a result of products that are powered by nature and rich in the highest quality ingredients that deliver true beauty innovation and efficacy to our customers.

Feel Good: As a result of the rich sensual textures that burst out of our products onto the skin and because these products come from an inherently ethical brand that cares about people, the planet, and animal welfare.

Do Good: Through engaging with a brand that encourages and takes concrete actions to help others, through its community Fair Trade program; through its campaigns; through its commitment to animal welfare; and through its endeavor to protect the planet.

Look Good+Feel Good+Do Good = This powerful combination gives consumers the confidence to express themselves with attitude and infectious energy.

Beauty With Heart will spring to life through a new and highly innovative store experience called Pulse, as well as through the support of Lily Cole, the embodiment of the brand’s strong values and the first of a community of inspiring young activists.

“We know that our brand delivers more than beauty; our products truly contain heart as well. Today, we’re looking to a future where our vision of beauty can be experienced by new generations for whom it is all about looking good, feeling good and doing good, too.” – Sophie Gasperment, Executive Chairman.
