Baby Radio

A recent app I've downloaded is Baby Music Radio. It has some wonderfully relaxing music for when you want to relax and wind down. There are some spa music channels, and some classical music channels. They really soothe you after a hectic or stressful day.

Add it to some of the list of tips and we've previously recommended here.

Feeling Blue

When you're sick with a runny nose, tissues can be extremely irritating to the skin on your nose. They usually leave them dry, red, and chapped.
A great solution are these soft tissues with lotion in them. They are really gentle to your skin. They'll be your best friend when you catch a cold.. Especially now with flu season.

Find them at Sultan Center and thank us later.

PS. Take extra Vitamin C these few days!

Q2

In business terms, we're in Q2; the second quarter of the year. Take a few moments to ponder whether you have completed 25% of your plans for 2012. Is that an alarming thought? It's amazing how time rushes by. Don't be a victim of being left behind! Get in the race and run while you're at it. Time waits for no one!

The Fun Theory

Don't you feel good about yourself when you do something good for your country, people or just for yourself? Well, I'm sure you all do. We need to work together to make the world a better place. 
The fun theory is an initiative of Volkswagen. This simple theory states that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people's behavior for the better. They started with simple ideas that gave people the motive to make the right decision. We need to implement such ideas in our lives. 
Here is one of their ideas:

بياع الخبل عباته

The weather these days is the season known as بياع الخبل عباته

Basically people may think its summer, and time for lighter clothing, then BAM! The cold bites you from behind again! This weekend most were ready for beach season as well. Yesterday the weather was particularly warm but today its cold again. Expect unpredictable weather this March in Kuwait. Although either warm or cool, March is definitely the month with the best weather in Kuwait.

Leap Day!

Today, Feb 29th, will only return after 4 years.

I like this day because it really feels like we have an extra day in the year, so live it to the fullest!

Inappropriate Valentine Gifts

Valentine's day is just around the corner... but before that we need to know more about this occasion and where it came from. Valentine's Day was named after Saint Valentine (Died on February the 14) back in the medieval period but there was no romantic link to him. Not until the 14th century that this day was marked as the romantic occasion it is nowadays. And this is why this date was removed from the Catholic calender because other than the name there is no connection to him. So for those who think its an occasion celebrated only by Catholics, you might need to check your facts.
It is a tradition on this day to express your love to the people who matter the most to you. It was basically to spread the love and gratitude around. So you can share this day with anyone who has a place in your heart ( Spouses, Family and Friends).
I have heard so many stories about the gifts people got on Valentine's day but since we are in the 21st century we need to stop this madness :)
Here is a list of things NOT to buy or give:

Teddy Bears

(Even kids are playing with their Ipads now)

CD ( mix)

 

(I love to use my ipod shuffle)

Stuffed Animals

 

 (Well that's just WEIRD)

Fake Flowers

 ( Come on !! Don't be that lazy, its just once a year)

Cake

(Is it my birthday? Is it ??!!!) 

Picture Frame

( oh ok and I'm suppose to put the picture too !!)

Fake Jewelry  

 (If you can't afford it then don't get it at all)

Nothing

( Now I REALLY know you care !!!)

PS: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just love and be loved in return. Be kind to each other !
