Did my one at Kmedi on Jumeirah road, Ask if they have a special offer on. The receptionist are a little bit like most of them here:) They had before a Philippine therapist but now the have an Emirati Dr ( lady) and she is very careful. Oh why I haven't done this not years ago, no planning anymore when to go to the beach I can now spontaneously decide to go.

Hi Starsouthern, you had given around a year ago really good advise on the different straightening treatments but would like to hear from you again:) Dear Starsouthern, sorry to bother you. I have ( European :)) straight long hair, oily on the scalp and dry in the lengths, I do root colour every two months but the point why I am so frustrated it is my very frizzy hair and yes I am too lazy to straighten my hair in the mornings. Due to the very oily scalp I mostly wash my hair every morning. I am using Kerastase , Inoa and L'oreal professional shampoo and conditioner in the length. I am afraid in case I would do a straightening treatment that the hair is poker straight and that there would be no life in it. Can you recommend a product treatment which would smooth the frizz and perhaps suggest even a hairdresser. I am also looking into getting quikkies tape in extensions:) to get a nicer ponytail and more volume... Thanks in advance for your reply and advise, I really liked your comments and opinions,

Thanks for your reply mannikat. Will make an appointment at a doctor. My orthopedist was away when i broke my toes and went to very useless person and when my doc came back he told me to rest which I didn't do and even before I walked more then I usually do/ I had five years back a thrombosis in this leg that most probably didn't help. the swelling is annoying and the blue patches even more, now that I lost weight and would be able to wear a skirt:)

Thank you ladies. Very nice recommendations! I need to get out and see something new and I am happy that my friend who is visiting me agreed to join me. It is very spontaneous especially as I am traveling a week later to Germany and Spain and the cats need a sitter too. That's why I am on a budget.

I heard rave reviews and bought one. To be honest it was too harsh on my skin (despite using the sensitive brush) and I developed a lot of spots that I never get. I was hoping that my skin would adjust but it never did so I gave up. Like I said though, it does have very good reviews so you may find it works well for you. Forever the Optimist do you still have it and want to sell it to me?

I have a company phone and I am not allowed and able to download Skype. I have a spare private phone which is laying in the drawer, I decided to save money and I thought to start with the telephone bill. I am most of the time speaking to my parents back home when I am not in front of laptop or ipad, usually the calls are short but regularly. Phone billl is around 400-600 AED a month What would be the best option Etisalat or Du and what for a package? I would need it only for skype and not a lot more as I would use otherwise my company phone. TIA Do you have any recommendation? Thanks

Thanks iveranodxb for your reply. I am too long in Dubai to remember how my skin was before but I start to get annoyed. I remember that i had 15years ago Clarins products and a facial and I had such bad allergy that since then I avoided this products but perhaps I should try it again. I liked Clinique always so perhaps should look into the wash

The Bin kitty collective has an official open facebook page https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/188028987947593/ Summer and holidays are approaching nevertheless we hope to help some cats to find their forever lovely home. BKC is holding every month an adoption day at the garden Centre. If you do not want to adopt a cat consider fostering a cat. If you plan to adopt a cat after your summer holidays please check the Facebook side and contact your favourite cats fosterer. You can meet your potential new family member at their home. If you plan to adopt a cat think about vetbills, next upcoming vacation or weekendtrip, who is taking care of the cat, if you relocate planned or unplanned whatwill you do with your friend. There are different cats with different characters and needs fostered certainly there is a cat which will suit you and your environment and will give you so much love back. Its fun to have cats in the household

mh, I asked for a very simple trouser and skirt to try him out and some alteration. Yep he had a very dry humour which is fine if i would have known him before but it couldvput people off and yes if price and tailoring is not as I expect then I gave him the first and last time business. The person in the other Coventry was very pleasant. I have a good tailor in Meena Bazar but I am too lazy to go there and felt his quality was after nine years not anymore as good as before and prices went high up too. price is fine if I get good quality for it. Can someone suggest an other tailor in Satwas who is good and has a better attitude.

I managed to go yesterday to Coventry, was first in the wrong coventry but then got to the right one. Wow after going to my tailor in Mina Bazar for 9 years it was a different and not good feeling with Ishwaq ( sp?). i felt that everything was too much and what ever I asked couldn't be done and that he was so not interested to help me or get me as a customer. as it was my first time I asked to get a normal trouser and skirt done and some alteration on other things. Hope he is a very good tailor as otherwise not sure if I will do this again to me. asking his opening timings and telno he asked me if I could read as it was standing there on his desk, mhhh could have been formulated in a different way. Asking for a price he told me I will come to know when I pick it up. Asking when i can pick it up telling me to try after 7th June. I think in a normal shop I would have started to shout at the salesperson... Thats me, and have been in a good mood yesterday.

My two smaller toes were broken and have been now the fourth time to the doc as my foot is still swelling and had a darker colour. Hopefully with a full bag of medication the swelling and colour will be gone soon. My small toe never got in shape, well I walked a lot on it when it was broken. Never imagined broken toes can be so pailful and be able to have a swollen foot for so long. Today is my first day of a higher heel and its no fun.

I have a super intelligent cat, she destroyed three times different nets which should safe her from jumping off the balcony. The fourth time she even bite through a kind of chicken wire I bought in Satwa.( the green mesh for the garden) Now I want to buy a metal mesh, similar to this. http://www.google.ae/imgres?q=metal+mesh&start=109&um=1&sa=N&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-SearchBox&hl=en&biw=1366&bih=572&tbm=isch&tbnid=67zwMzLD0uX6qM:&imgrefurl=http://depositphotos.com/4920883/stock-photo-Metal-mesh.html&docid=Zjmue1sERVHXFM&imgurl=http://static5.depositphotos.com/1003549/492/i/950/depositphotos_4920883-Metal-mesh.jpg&w=1024&h=768&ei=fVePUYSOJoKHrAe_04G4Ag&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=843&vpy=186&dur=1231&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=155&ty=142&page=5&tbnh=141&tbnw=188&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:100,i:49 Satwa can bring me one but its very expensive and has not the needed size. i would need to have a metal mesh ( length 3,50m x 2 m) of course the length could be split in smaller pieces. Where can I find it, checked Al Danube, ACE and a shop next to Oasis mall. People tell me I can get it in Deira but I do not know where there and I am bad to find anything in Deira.

EK is allowing pets as excess luggage 120 aed per kg to DE so think to UK too Only importing to DXB it has to go over cargo but thats for all airlines coming in. Paperwork here takes with vet visit and cargo village half day if you have all the papers together. I export and import my own cat twice a year..and believe its the same for a dog but again I have only experience with germany and cats and not with dogs to the UK.

I am 36 and somehow not feeling well how I look like so decided makeover time. I will never be slim but try to keep my weight at 80kg at 180cm which is a struggle due to hormonal issues. Other things needs to be worked on to have it balanced out::) and first thing is my frone line, I have it since ages as I am not good with sunglasses I read even in the sun without glasses but then pinch my eyes. I had this line since ages and I hate it. Otherwise thanks god not too many lines and they do not disturb me. So can you recommend a super experienced reliable Dr. and can you giveme a price idea. Can you even explain a bit the procedure and if I need to do something as aftercare:)
