I am also totally & completely in love with Executive Towers! Honestly, couldn't be happier with the location and the convenience factor (for me) to everything I've needed so far! And my poor hubby must have looked at a MILLI places before we signed this lease! lol

Saw a bunch of heavy duty equipment being moved into Tazzina Cafe while we walked by earlier! Maybe that means they'll be opening soon -- hopefully! Has anyone seen Dr. Keya Rahul Shivadey (gynecologist) or Dr. Mohamed A. El Rabah (pediatrician) at the Aster Medical Centre around here??

Little Chefs Dubai is continuing through next week. I cannot say enough amazing things about Tina McFadzean. She is fabulous! It is, without a doubt, the BEST summer camp we've been to all season!!!!!!

Dark chocolate with Chili sounds aMOHzing. Is that another item you get here? I have a brownie recipe that's done with Chili and it's do die for......the Chili really warms up the chocolate -- kinds hard to describe unless you just say "mouth-watering!"

I haven't seen a chiro here, but I HIGHLY recommend seeing one - during pregnancy or any other time! I saw one regularly when I was pregnant, and I definitely believe it's one of the reasons I had such an easy delivery.

Greyhound by Steffan Piper -- I hope it's good! I've read so many books lately that were "eh" and I'm dying for something engrossing! I read "Tell the Wolves I'm Home" last month and it was absolutely fabulous -- one of the best books I've read recently.

You should contact a freight forwarder and see about an LCL shipment (Less Container Load). Freight forwarders book these with shipping companies all the time -- not all of their customers (retail or otherwise) always have orders that fill an entire container.

I read everything on my Kindle Fire (faboosh!) but just want to say, I have to recommend "Bared To You" -- it's v.similar to 50 Shades, but the writing is soooooooooooooooooooo much better!!!!!!!!

I've been thinking about looking for a PT job myself, once school starts, since I'll have some free time on my hands! My dream PT job would be @ Lush, because I am in love with practically every single one of their products. But after reading about everyone's difficulties trying to find PT work, maybe I just keep my current PT job of shopping at the mall????

I have a v.close girlfriend who hes worked at Universal for years and we go every summer! We even saw the "Victorious" concert in June. We love it! If you're into amusement parks and rides and shows, it is a great vacation. Sea World is also close by.

I sooooo cannot keep up with ya'll! You're much too intelligent & quick-witted for me. I certainly enjoy reading it, though! I much prefer gator in a shoe or handbag form. In my stomach ... I made about as big a scene as my 9 y/o when "sampling" it. Not v.mature of me.

I could drink about 50 glasses of grape right now! I could kick my husband for not getting his liquor license before we got here ... it's not like her didn't have enough time! Although, I've probably beaten him up enough over it ... lol

None of the Thai dishes, no -- we've tried several of the Chinese, though -- they were okay, nothing outstanding -- but pretty good! My hubby loves Chinese (and anything super spicy) so everything he ordered was on FIRE (like, I practically burned my lips off!) but that's just how he ordered it and just how he likes it! My daughter loves anything with fried rice or noodles -- so she was pleased. The spring rolls were really good -- we will definitely order from there again, I'm sure.

love, love, LOVE Rossovivo! Definitely the best pizza I've had since we've been here -- and my entire family could eat pizza pretty much every day (although I love it the most!). Haven't tried Feet Lounge but love the smell of the aromatherapy oils when I walk by! I must try it soon.

Loooooooove the Instyler! I have curly hair, as does my husband - my daughter is biracial, so she has SUPER curly hair. I don't straighten it much, since it's sooooo gorgeous, but when we do - the Instyler is a magic wand!!!! Don't know about the sweeper.

We were in Egpyt last summer for what was probably the most amazing vacation of my entire life! I have always, always wanted to go to Egypt. I booked several day excursions through a company called "Your Egypt Tours" and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They were amazing -- truly. Their customer service was beyond anything I've ever experienced, and they turned a great vacation into something unforgettable. We enjoyed everything so much I even left a review on Trip Advisor (which I never do!) I highly recommend contacting them to arrange something! http://www.youregypttours.com/egypt-tours/46-alexandria-excursions-alexandria-day-trips

Sidebar -- we tried Canteen tonight (simply because it's one of the only restaurants around here that we've yet to try). Not impressed! Don't think we'll be going back. But that's the only place we've found so far that's been less than fabulous!

BOO!! Didn't find the Maggi kabsa spices at Spinneys!!!! Didn't find it the kabsa mix either at the Union Coop. I did buy the shish tawook and shwarma spice mix and another one chicken garlic and ginger spice mix. I have to admit that the Maggi kabsa mix is one of those fly off the shelf products. I have struggled to find it at times myself, so usually when I do I stock up. Don't give up hope though, at least its locally produced so stocks get replenished sooner rather than later - it's a recipe worth waiting for. I'm not taking credit for this super recipe, it's all about the spices (but you will remember and thank me when you do find it :D )! Thanks for the tip, I will be sure to buy in BULK when I find it -- hopefully none of ya'll head to that particular store after me, whenever I manage to locate it! :-)

This kabseh recipe sounds soooo good! I may even have to make it this evening (if I can motivate myself enough to leave the apartment to head down to Spinneys for the necessary ingredients).
