Ladies, I am so embarrassed to even discuss my issue. Despite regular cleaning and professional teeth cleaning every 6 months, my teeth are getting stains and yellowish. I am so scared to go for whitening as I heard it can cause sensitivity. Any of you tried and happy with experience? Can you recommend a dentist and how about charges?

Hi Sarah, I have gone to a hairdresser Aliza as per recommendations on this website. She is excellent and knowledgeable about hair treatments. Not sure if she does home service, or how much she will charge. You can contact her

I'm so sad today :( It's my birthday this coming weekend and I'd been planning a brunch with some "friends" on Friday and this morning when I called to confirm one of them said they couldn't find a babysitter and the other said they had a wedding to attend - this despite us taking about it over 4 weeks ago and confirming it. So instead I'm all alone on my birthday with no one to go out with. They keep letting me down for various reasons. I agree Dubai is expensive and therefore sometimes its not possible to go to certain events because tickets are expensive, especially if they're not earning much. But even for dinner they're either too busy. I wasted 4 days last week because we were meant to go to the 7s but a day before they decided they didn't want to. It just feels like I'm always making the effort but no one returns it, which makes me think maybe I'm just not a nice person! Just so sad as I really want to enjoy things in Dubai but it feels like the people I thought were my good friends really aren't. Just very sad and lonely today. Hi Bob2015, I have felt the same here. I am sure you will be feeling bad. I don't know how you would think about meeting a stranger on your birthday but I can celebrate with you. I feel same loneliness and became friends with even my hairdresser here ?

Or............if you are going to be so precious..........why don't you take your hand made eco friendly shopping basket down to the local market and buy your own produce and cook it yourself? They say, if you don't have anything nice to say.... Don't say anything at all. Specially if you had a bad day, don't let it make you say stupid things... When you didn't even know what I meant in my post.

For the people who took offense of my post, I don't care how many containers they use for food packaging. I meant to say it's dangerous to serve hot food in plastic containers as it causes cancer.

Hi all, Thank you everyone to give me good tips. I spent last 2-3 days out doors (again indoor malls) and doing activities, I feel better. May be things will turn out to be tolerable for me. My work place is near trade center, this I chose to live close to metro and commute to office is not a problem for now. I am not a confident driver and don't think can drive here. So options outside the city or the other side of city without metro are not workable for me. I am here to support my family and very young school/college going siblings. When I calculated a studio for 50-60k , it comes to around 6k per month with bills. With my other expenses I think I will be spending 10k per month only for my own expense, while saving/sending 8k to my home. I am disappointed to know with this salary I won't be able to save much. Currently I am paying half of what I calculated, inclusive all the bills. Room is furnished and is located near metro. It's just too small. Rent and My other expenses (food, transport, grooming) are coming up to only 7k/month for now, which is 3k more than what I will be spending on independent studio. Btw, I was dubizziling ... Most of the studios are same size 300-400 sqft only. Only about a few sqft bigger than my existing room. I will just skip this option for now.

It is astonishing for me to know how expensive it is in Dubai. What I found is around 230-330 Dhs. Anyone knows less expensive place for Gel extension or overlay? Moat people use gelish less harsh on the nails and quicker to do I have been doing it for really long time & find it much better than gelish it self. It's very pricy here though.

Thank you ms. Silvestet for your efforts to help me. I tried finding sharing apartments but failed. One thing, they want mostly western as mentioned in adds and secondly they are ridiculously expensive. My salary is around 18k, while checking the prices of even studio, I feel like I won't be able to afford an independent apartment in a good area. Honestly, it doesn't make sense to me to pay 5000-7000 Dhs only for a room :\: I am currently using metro and ok with it. I have been driving in my country for year but here when I see people"s driving, I don't think that I can drive here. I don't know if 18k is a good salaru for a single lady in late 20's.

I am living in Al Nahda for now on temporary basis. I was looking to shift to some place on a contract but rents are so so high. One bedroom is nowhere less than 75-85 in reasonable areas. :cry:

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 Hi blondie007 I did Brazilian blowout treatment. My hair length is medium, like few inches below my shoulder blades. :)

Good Day I am looking to share a flat or rent a room with someone. I am a Westerner, very easy going and a busy most of the time. I work in education and my budget is 3000 aed a month. If you know of anyone please let me know. I am afraid you will not be able to find an independent room in this budget. We recently leased our apartments and rents are ridiculous. Why don't you look into Dubizzle options?

Thanks for the recommendations. I am also new and need all these info. Can anyone recommend a good place for anti frizz treatment like keratin or blowout ? Most of the places coming in Google search or expat woman recommendations are very Expensive. Starting from 1500 Dhs ? Can anyone please recommend a place with reasonable price and good results?. I am not looking for groupon like deals. Thank you.
