Thank You Smartee and Horizonmum2 for your reomendation. I did treatment by Aliza and very happy with the result. She has such an amazing personality and so knowledgeable. No wonder both of you spoke so high of her . I paid only 750 Dhs for blowout (definitely after bargain ) :party:;) Is this the same as " hair Botox "? You did the kera straight? For 750? How long is your hair ? Thank you

Excuse my ignorance but I have not gotten this letter and find it concerning. Why would an extra dose be required ( and at such a young age ) ? I was always told both doses were enough.

Apparently it is compulsory even if your child has had the 2 doses......we have had a letter saying that unless we have supporting documents from a doctor then they will be insisting on the vaccination, and it is the MMR. This is all schools ? If you had both doses why more ? Sorry, I'm confused

Lasix does work BUT from a vanity perspective your skin will be dehydrated and dull ( washed out look) And do not plan on drinking any alcoholic beverages at the dinner if you take it.

Absolutely there are opportunists and abuse of a system that is meant to aide and help those in dire and deadly circumstances. However I believe in the gamble of it all that it is much more humane and worthwhile to assist in any way possible. Because of the mere fact that the assistance will go to those in need no matter the sincere number. If you are posting on here you already won the random lottery in birth placement.

it's not that people don't want to help or don't want them at all. It's the way in which it's being done. There are laws that govern what happens as I have explained before. You can't just say 'I want to go to this country', and shun all the help offered to you. Each country can only take a certain number, which is why people are told which country then can go to. Otherwise you are going to have a massive imbalance of some countries taking on more than they can cope with and others who can take many but are getting few numbers because people 'don't want to go there' - which is exactly what is happening in Hungary right now. I really don't get why this is so difficult for people to understand. . I get that a fortune is being donated to camps but these refugees need another beginning ; a home Not camps

Hi ladies, just passing by to give my experience. I went to a clinic opposite burj al arab and wild wadi called oris center and met with Dr Munther Alherani ! he is very nice and super professional the reason why I am sharing this comment is because he gave me a very interesting deal while other dentists I had seen before where very high for the same services... I just finished my veneers and I was so worried it would not look naturally especially at the price I got them but thank God everyone falls in love with my smile and I feel so confident know and I really owe it this doctor. If you need a dentist don't hesitate to pay him a visit, so far he is to me the best ... check out his insta @drmuntheralherani good luck to all of you :) xx :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Oh dear

First I am so sad this is happening to you. But , you really need to report this. This has potential to have horrific consequences Also I am sure your daughter is not their only victim Yes, victim because that is what she is in this Please stop it at once because it will get worse and other young ones might take it much harder Google some past incidents and you will see how some teens reacted to this devastation

This is what worked for me :::: Hair Botox - beauty plus salon in Satwa Kera straight- Donna at Roots in Al Barsha ( it's relocating in July to sunset mall ) My hair is course , wavy , kinky and frizzy. I love that now I can wake up and just style the bangs. The rest is smooth , soft and no frizz !!! I second this, Aliza @ Beauty Plus Salon is best for hair treatments. Sadly, she has revised treatment prices and is no more "super cheap" option. But I don't think so she does home service. What were her prices? I read on here too that she was very cheap but found her prices comparable to most salons. Hair Botox was between 1000-1500

I haved used Dr.Allen and he is excellent! I would use him again but he is away and I wanted to get under eye fillers before I go back home for the summer. I have a few reunions and it has been over a year since I had the fillers. Dr. Khan is also wonderful but I can't get an appointment in time. When I did a search on here these were the consistent 3 names that came up for cosmetic procedures. I just can't find anything no surgical / eye filkers for Dr.Tahir. I have an appointment and am a bit nervous.

I usually get manicures once or twice a month, remove polish after a week , let them breathe a bit and than use OPI nail envy. My diet has not changed either. I just found it odd ( and annoying) that now 8 of my nails are broken and very short within days of a manicure. I have removed my polish and the natural nail color is normal. Just stubby fingers now. Thank you for the feedback and I will try Vitry and Jessica

I went alone with my daughter when she was 5. She loved it! We only had a few days and went to clock tower, the Toy Museum, and enjoyed all the street performers we came across. We had a lovely time picking out puppets (Pinocchio was the favorite). To this day she still talks about the cultural show we watched. We booked through a hotel and went to this quant old Czech building style building where there were dancers and live music wearing traditional garb. There was also a gorgeous restaurant ( I think "imperial ") that had a children's play area near the tables while dining. I would recommend Prague ! One of my top favorite cities

I guess they are dealing with many customers on "Dubai time" or no shows. However since you are a repeat customer out of respect I find it off putting that they are asking for anything !

I couldn't understand why people got so upset by the thumbs down ?! This is a public forum and not everyone will agree. Yes it could be misused but really ? I remember posters requesting thumbs up / thumbs down I can see that without the option more posting may occur Either way it is nice to see that Admin took into account that many posters were bothered by it and asked for it to be taken off.

I just go this email from illuminations We will be holding a very special meditation dedicated to all the victims and casualties of the Nepal Earthquake that happened last Saturday, April 25th. We had 16 participants stuck there for an Illuminations retreat. Luckily they are on their way back home. However there are others who do not have the privilege to evacuate from such a disaster and will be greatly affected. They will require a lot of supplies to rebuild their lives. This event is at no cost at all but you can choose to donate what you like money or goods. You can donate used clothes, shoes, slippers, blankets, etc. We will donate all items to a team here in UAE to support earthquake victims in Nepal. We have arranged free cargo service to Nepal so need your small effort to fill up the package. Thank you! Meditation for Nepal Date: Wednesday, April 29th Timings: 7:30pm-8:30pm To Register & For more Details, Please Contact: -- Illuminations Well-Being Center p. +971 (4) 4487043 e. customerhappiness@illuminationsworld.com <em>edited by blondie007 on 27/04/2015</em>

Please do not get a horrible sick feeling. As I said it does nothing positive for anyone. You cannot stress and lose happiness that you have today over things you cannot control. What you can do and what you have done is reach out. Now you have different enough viewpoints to see it is different for each child. Your ahead of it! Your child is blessed because you truly think of all aspects about his happiness. You are lucky to have each other and that is what really matters

A good makeup remover is MAC cleanse off oil. It is pretty effortless so I don't have to rub the delicate eye area to get all the makeup off.

Not want you want to hear but honest I hated being an only child and struggle with it more now that I'm middle age and my mother is not well. It's all on me and I wish I had a sibling who knew exactly what I was going thru and was with me during the hospital visits. I have wonderful friends but its not the same. I have met other only children who although during youth felt a bit isolated said until they were much older -that's when it struck them. What I can tell you is that you cannot worry over something you can't control. It does nothing positive, only negative and our children pick up on this. Also, I find more and more families just having one child lately by choice. When I was young I was the only only I knew. It is much more common now therefore only children do not feel it as much as we did years ago. Focus on the gift you have been blessed with and now you have so much insight with this thread. Your child is lucky to have such a loving concerned mother as you

An odd original post indeed knowing the overall sentiment(right one at that) on EW in regards to pet mills and animals in desperate need of homes. A friend of mine was not a "cat person " at all and was considering a dog when at the urging of another she came across an Arabian Mau. It was love. She could not believe how playful and adoring the cat is. They really "rescued" each other in a sense as I have seen her completely destress and laugh so much when together. My point here is that she expanded her openness and now cannot imagine choosing differently. You should to. It is the right thing to do and at least get to know an animal in need first before going out and seeking one based on your notions of what is pretty. If you do decide to look Into abandoned / homeless cats and feel like you cannot provide for them and care for them than ok. It would be more upsetting for the cat if you took one in and than returned it. I'm posting this in the hope that others read this and give it a go

I responded as I did because a similar situation happened to me in a parking lot - as soon as I took out the phone and held it out to take photos of the license plate and record her she could not leave fast enough I know it seems ridiculous but you should not feel like you cannot notify the police in these situations <em>edited by blondie007 on 08/03/2015</em>

There really is not one positive reason in your favor with her doing this and certainly not a positive outcome. It's crossing the line for all involved and you are not getting the full story. She knows better and is playing all ends. Careful. When it doesn't feel right ; it isn't
