Book I read: نساء "م" رجال "م". for @Suha_AlAwadhi

    One of the Books I owned during the time of Kuwait BookFair(2012) is Suha Alawadhi's Book ( نساء Ù… - رجال Ù…) .. This book is Suha's 1st release which was back at 2006. and to be honest, I didn't buy it from the fair.
I got it from an outside source. (Thank U!)

It's the kind of book that says, Quality over quantity. when I 1st handled the book, I had in mind that I will finish this book in one night. gonna be light and a sweet read.

but I was half wrong.


Front cover

this book is not only light and sweet, it holds deep meanings and true stories in each segment you read.
whether you are a lady or a gentelman. you will find at least one page in this book that reflects your image in it. a mirror image.

If not. each segment you read or each chapter you go through makes you wonder, if this is a closure to a long struggled story, or the begining to an unknown adventure.

Suha made me go though her pages more than twice, her words make you open up your imaginative self. and  make you  look between the pages to find which (woman/man) reflect you or part of you.

Though the book is devided into 2 main segments. one talking from woman point of view and the other part, from man point of view. you will find both "feelings" in each page. you may even find a man side that reflects you even if you are a woman urself. and vice versa. cuz feelings and heart doesn't know a gender.


back cover


Now I know what to call this book. It's a book of feelings. Thats the way I see it. thats the way I read it, and enjoyed it.

Thank you Suha for the catchy writings. Thanks for the dedication.
Thanks for your Free second release I read and also loved back in 2010. - (البوصلة).

Feng Shui your Life! Ruby experiment.

What is Feng Shui ?
receiving positive energy by following certain rules of heaven and earth .. or we can say .. earth main elements and colors. that would make you feel and be better in life. by attracting as much positive energy as you want.
for more info. about the definition click Here

who follow me on instagram, know that in the previous week, I had a small work shop about Feng Shui at work with 5 other girls. (my work friends). one of them ( the one who lead the workshop) was interested about this topic, she read books and attended lectures about it. she actually applied it to her office, home, and basically most of her life aspects. always saying that good stuff keep coming to her and it has nothing to do with the Feng Shui rules. cuz she did not want to be accused of not believing in god.

but we told her we are kinda intrested in doing this at least to work ... why?
we spen a lot of time at work .... 6-8 hours daily ... setting at our cubical s and staring at the PC screen ,, with all the negative energy coming out from it. many papers here and there .. I personally thought i had a tidy cubical ,,, I was SO WRONG .. LOL

anyways ,,, it's a whole world by itself ,, so in this post I'm just gonna mention what do you need to do in order to make a room/house/desk Feng Shui-ed righ.

we simply followed the picture below :


if you are applying the rules to a room .. black square is where ppl 1st enter the room. you should then arrange ur stuff and colors regarding the diagram above,
if its an office/desk.cubical .. red is what (who comes towords ur cubical) see first ,, say if you boss is coming to you,, from where he will come.. ur back? ur face? .. 1st rule is he shoulf face the red square 1st ,, then arrange the rest of squares after setting where the red should be.
easy way is to have this full diagram as a print ,, tilt and rotate to ur rule and then u will know where to put what ...

There is a lot of diagrams out there that can help you Feng Shui ur office ..
I used the one below .. also recommended by my friend.


But, instead of arranging the elements regarding where I set ( as the picture above) I rotate it so the red part is what my boss faces when she comes to me. 

tips about each element :

Career: Black the sign of strength ,, place the most expensive piece in the black corner, and preferably it is black colored too ( PC ) in our case. if your PC is not black.. you can skin in with a black pc/laptop skin.

Helpful people: grey-white-black : the sign of helpful people or travel. either put a white paper of the employees u call often along with their numbers. the paper should be white. or for a travel , place a picture of the country you wish to travel to, if you have a place in ur mind. or as a main rule. have a water element in this section to have a enjoyable trips. (small water fountains for example).

knowledge: any item that is  black - blue - green : the section where all positive energy for self-cultivation is attracted, it gives others an impression of you as a knowledgeable person who is great at work and know a lot.

Children / creativity : white - any item that is white and have a child thing in it .. lets say a picture of a swan, becuase .. swans are white and always known for carrying children , you can also use pictures of pacifiers, baby bibs, or toys. anything that resembles children will do.

Family : green item - any green item .. living plant or green container with perfume ( none flamed ). also a family picture with green frame will do. this attract the positive energy for family 

Health : yellow  - make the place for this colored element empty and wide. place a yellow mat or orange one to attract positive energy for health and well being. use the color intense you prefer to see.

Red: the Fame color .. use RED element in this space ,, use candles ,, very important and let them lite while your are at work working at ur desk. very helpful to use a picture of stairs as an illustration of fame acceding.

Wealth : purple or gold element .. that Looks worthy as swarovski or diamonds decorated container (does not have to be real diamonds) most important that it Looks worthy :)

Marrige : red - pink element also use a candle in this corner .. very important to let it lite while you are seated at ur office.


we enjoyed the workshop very much! and did applied the rules to my cubical ,,
important tips for me was :

get rid of all what you don't use on daily bases and keep them locked in drawers. 
do not use more than one calender ... i had 3 calenders on my desk ... kept one and removed the other 2.
keep the desk and stuff as lean as possible. 



maybe I'll show you how my cubical looks like now ,,, maybe :p

My purchases from Zooghaq8 online Store


Good morning dear readers,
It's weekend time! And for me it's already started, with a lazy sweet morning of my favorite daily coffee mug.

Spending most of my online time in instagram lately. I found out about alot of local business through them. I'd say instagram is a big huge da3aya helper. Cuz of the great idea of sharing pictures and having a picture profile.

One of the new local stores that got my attention is ZooghaQ8.




Love their Jessica Simpson shoe collection and their accessories ! I added The number on what's app. As soon as I saw the one and only nail ring I was looking for . Woohooo, thank got I ordered it as she said that she have limited quantities from each item she offered, she also shared with me other accessories not yet featured in the instagram profile.
Anyways, check what I got.




Love them !! The quality of the Accessories are so good! And my total bill payment was 28 KD! Talking about reasonable :)

I'm really looking forward my next purchase from ZooghaQ8. Great start and wish her all the best.

Ruby Likes: The Kiss Painting By Shurooq Amin.


There are so many meanings behind this painting that caputred my heart!
Loved it.

check her website Here

Update:

Here is How I see the painting, My own personal understanding.

It is holding a mixture between the tradition rules and regulations along with the want to be loved. A kiss on the hand always means respect. the way the man is seated is modern and sexy. including ghutra as a traditional part. the way the women is seated shows how she is passionate about her man. while dressed traditionally head to before her feet, cuz her feet is dressed with modern sexy heels. the way they are holding hands. Mixing their fingers is So sweet and shows a real Strong Connection. And they are sitting in a living room which  represent society or a place where you socialize with other people. That shows the Want to Open Up about those feelings and the want to live a Love Story in such a hard Society.

That could be completely different that what the owner of the painter had in her mind. But, this is the way I personally see it.

Calling all shiny faces ;) Ruby to the rescue!

Ruby would love to share .... cuz sharing is part of caring :P

My followers know already that I had a face problem during last summer. that was diagnosed as ACNE .. then turned out it was allergy, then at the end it was a kind of Eczema .. finally having the right treatment in my hands. My problem is 90% Gone. and al7imdellah I am happy.

anyways, During the last 6 months I saw 4 dermatology Doctors.  I will not say that some of them were bad and others were good. I'd sum it up that I have recieved a useful information from each one of them.

Giving credits to only 2 of them. who knew that my face had allergy. and disapointed in the other 2 who said it was Acne. eeh kaifi I'm judging here.


now this is totally not related to why I'm posting right now .... so lets get to the point.

One of the Drs. ( the 4 of them were Ladies, #justSaying ) recommended a medical face morning routine that reduces excess face shine and grease. in order to always have a fresh look. and protect your face from the heat and sun.

I've been using these products for over a month now. and I am Very Happy with them.

The brand called 2L (Tuel). you can find it in pharmacies.

Product 1 ..

Purifying Cleaning Gel: 

Removes make-up ! for heavy make-up you will need to wash your face twice! although this is not the purpose of it. it's a wash. not make up remover. but It does it pretty much very well! result is a FRESH face! not dry ! just CLEAN.


Product 2 ..


Absorb:

This is step 2 of the morning routine, its a serum. that feels a bit dry after applying it to the face. but it is suppose to feel like this. cuz this guy is what gonna keep your face shine free all day long.! you don't need a make up primer when using it. thats another plus to it.



Product 3 ..

Oil Free Essential Protection:

A moisturizer with SPF 30. Oil Free but very very moisturizing ! and makes a good make up base as well. I have nothing against it.

Beening on those 3 products for over a month now. my make up stays Fresh for longer time.
 I use them EVERY Morning. Highly recommend. Upon my personal usage ;P

note that I have mixed face type. oily at the T zone and dry everywhere else.

Last but not least, They hold very reasonable prices.

Thats it.
