Thank you Ladies for your reply and sorry for not responding sooner .. i did a research about En Vogue salon here in the forum and i decided not to buy as they had dozens of terrible reviews .. and i missed the Life optic deal :( so maybe i'll get it next time .. Never go for any deals with EnVogue. They are seriously so bad..poor customer service, they are not even bothered to give u proper appointments and if by chance u get the appointements then u r not properly been attended at the salon..Just a waste of my 99AED voucher about 4 months back :( *highly NOT recommended*

A camels toe is when your trousers is too tight and you can see (very well!) the shape of your bits in the front. I have learned this on here,and really(embarrased!!!)i went to the bathroom,pulled my trousers really high up my waist to have a look,low and behold it does look like a camels toe!!!!!(lol,blushing etc) The 'Whale tail' is also a new one to me. Thanks ladies,learning a lot on here:)) Hahahaha :D Same here, I am so enjoying these new terms.. -------&gt; 2 new words added in: *camel toes* and *whale tail*... :)

I just fail to understand Why its always written in malls*to dress decently*, when no one(the mall authorities/security) even stop or Point out those who don't get this point when they walk out to malls. And seriously, there are so shameless dressings done by some females out there in the malls that I being a woman is also embarrassed sometimes to see those *sights* ;)

Just leave a bottle of Masafi in your shower. Less than two dirhams for nice hair again is well worth it. edited by dogcatcher on 12/03/2013 **Super Like** :)

I am back with the feedback about my dandruff and hair fall.. I started using Ginger shampoo from Body shop and Mineral water for the last wash..Yes, its been 2 weeks and believe u me, i am quite relieved as dandruff is not there and hair fall has reduced too, not stopped though(wondering will they ever stop :-/ ) Thank you all for the lovely advice and I am hoping to have healthy hair soon :) edited by sJVC on 12/03/2013 <em>edited by sJVC on 12/03/2013</em>

Did not know, lovingmum but I'm so excited now .. Following them on youtube is not the same thing :) I think they both finished recently but I really loved Bari Apa and Na Kaho Tum Mere Nahin True, na kaho tume mere nahi was good...apart from "zindagi gulzar hai" being the best, heard that the new sitcom "Dil-e-muztar"(spellings) is good too.

Is your hair long? Probably this won't be easy to do if you have luscious long locks, but when I first came here I had unruly hair past my shoulder and I lost it by the handful in the first 3-4 years or so. I could literally put my hand through it and my hand would be full of hair, my floor was full of hair and after a shower the plug was blocked with my hair, I was afraid of washing it. I really thought it was down to the water quality, heat etc. (I go out in the sun a lot, so not due to lack of sun on my hair). However in the last year I have taken the plunge and had it cut in a short layered bob and now I lose hardly any, and am sure it's down to the fact that it's short now, before it was heavier and put more stress on the roots. Having it cut short made all the difference and it's become much thicker. edited by Alismum on 22/02/2013 My hair comes till my chest so yes pretty much long. Ohh seems to be my story of hair fall and now so much dandruff, it seems like having a snow fall,lol.My hand is always full of hair and same is the case with floor..I am so scared :(

I am in the same situation..I am in the apartment building too and apart from this barking, the dog just roams around without being tied and he was running in the corridor day before and when i came out of the apartment he just started running to jump on me..Oh Goshhh..it was so scary I made the complaint in the building management, and they have asked the lady that she will be fined if this happens again. : - ))))

Sorry to say but an MBA does not mean she's overqualified. I've seen CV's from "Asians" with MBA's, engineers in fact, applying for receptionist jobs, and believe me, they were not qualified to do anything more than that. edited by Sakhifa on 19/02/2013 Oh Really!! I have seen most of the Asian married females opting for Admin/low profile jobs only because they can just continue something in a working environment apart of being a wife but didnt hear about any male doing so, WHY would he go for a receptionist job after doing an Engineering degree,lol and I highly doubt about what you said "they were not qualified to do anything more than that"... :o Look around you, office boys, low-level admin staff, etc. Do they only have high school degrees? Not necessarily, some have gone to universities and have graduate degrees. Does that mean they should be CEO? No, you have to consider other factors, a degree on a piece of paper is not enough to warrant someone "overqualified". Ohh please..u r comparing and saying that an office boy will be having an MBA or engineering degree,,haha Obviously He will be having some paper qualification but helloo he is an office boy because he doesnt have the qualification to apply for even better things.

Hi Has your friend any reason for not wanting to see dr malpani? I actually went to see him for advise on another urologist who was going to operate on me, I really liked dr malpani The urologist who was in my operation was dr shameer who works at IMH, my main surgery was done by dr hafeez but dr shameer was present, I've no complaints about him Thanks :) Not really I guess, but she wants just a second opinion before she proceeds with the treatment.

I have also had nightmares with them this week, culminating in 2 no-show taxis that were pre-booked to take 8 guests to airport this morning. Dubai Taxi cannot claim that Friday at 7 AM is a peak time! Huge panic and limited help from "customer service agents". I have definitely seen a decline in service since arrival in Dubai in 2011. If people would like to post details of terrible experiences (specifically relating to huge delays and no-shows, to keep the focus) I could write them up into a story and submit to 7 Days-- perhaps more effective than letters? They could print it as a "citizen reporter" piece or use it as a basis for further investigation. If it could bring some change, I am definitely up for it...
