Really! :( Thanks for the feedback... Ladies...would be great to get a second opinion?? Also...anything on the facials? Haven't heard of those places sorry. I thought the prices were quite high until I converted it to our currency and then what I'd pay back home for a photographer. At Christmas we got pictures at a store photographer back home and they were very basic. And it still ended up costing us with conversion to dirhams we paid about AED 1200.

I've tried the face mask... It does deep clean pretty well... Also made my face look brighter afterwards. Great! Any idea of whether the serum's any good? Looking at picking that up with the moisturiser...

Hey ladies! I'm a self-proclaimed deal-a-holic...keep checking the websites cobone, gonabit, groupon, moosavings and dealgobbler for deals. Have gotten some pretty good experiences with them (save a bad spa experience with cobone!)...but need a bit of help here. dealgobbler's running a deal today for a range of products called nutriganics from the bodyshop. Want to know if any of you ladies have used the products from this range and if it's got the benefits it claims! Let me know! Cheers.

Just picked up the deal today on dealgobbler for the stay for 2 adults with iceland tickets. Me and my girls are heading over for the next weekend. Any of you ladies gonna be heading over too? Let me know!! :) Just a word of warning the Groupon offer that is currently on for Iceland Waterpark. Kids enter according to height, when we went my kid (6yr old) had to have an adult ticket as she was not short enough. P.S. check height requirement before you purchase.

Try the photo booth place that prints pictures on canvas. It is behind the ship in China court in Ibn Battuta Mall. They have some lovely shots of Old Dubai. Thanks KKS. Could try that out. Looking for something that has old prints though...a bit more authentic kinda feel. But if I don't find anything else till then...will look it up...! :)

We found their deliveries to be a lot of sauce and not much substance although the flavours were good. We had a brunch there once and the food was very good though. Thanks!Just went through their menu and the seafood section seems good and a little different from the usual "prawn in green curry" and fish in red curry cliches. If delievry was'nt good for you then will ask DH to pick up the food..as dining anywhere with the little one is always a nightmare. edited by mishmash on 07/06/2011 Hey! Just ate there yesterday night. Was actually impressed with the service and food choice. My boyfriend and I tried the spring rolls, seabass and coco ocean thai curry...was great! And the people serving us were really very pleasant. Just some advice though, if you don't like sugar too much, tell them in advance when ordering your fresh juices that you'd like it without sugar. :) <em>edited by sam.jane31 on 12/06/2011</em>

Hey...some good ideas for Father's day: - Hire a great car (you get sports cars and luxury cars for 2 hour hires in Dubai at competitive rates...try Xclusive Cars...or something like that @ Dubai Marina) and take him out for a feast..great places to go would be Jumeirah Beach Hotel (there's a great place called La Veranda) or even Jamie's Italian at DFC - Take him for a Yacht Trip with dinner - A spa day for fathers...check the websites like cobone, groupon, dealgobbler, gonabit...i'm sure you'll find some deals there... - Pick up a pair of cufflinks - Customize something for him that he'll find memorable...some great ideas are things like a few dolls, crystal engraving, etc that this company here called Precise does... Not sure if this is what you're looking for but hope this helps!

Hey...you can check with the 3M authorized distributor called Apex Gulf Enterprises (AGE). They have more competitive rates than the other branches. If you're ok with other brands...there's a pretty good brand called Madico...my friend's just purchased it...there's a deal running for it on www.dealgobbler.com...not sure if it's still on...but you get a AED 300 odd discount on the car tint value...and the product's supposed to be an award winning patented product. Anyway...she's going to be taking her car to Solar Shield Emirates (that's the showroom where the vouchers valid) at Oasis Mall this weekend...will let you guys know how it worked out! <em>edited by sam.jane31 on 30/05/2011</em>
