Yummy cupcakes!

http://www.handycandyq8.com/ is an online gourmet store specialized in yummy cupcakes and pastries lovingly made for your enjoyment.

Handy Candy brings uniqueness into the world of cupcakes by offering fun and tasty icing flavors and the cutest sprinkels in different colors and themes.

What i like the most, is the display and packaging; you can have your cupcakes packaged in a cute gift box or displayed on a beautiful tray ideal for receptions, birthdays and special occassions.

A little creativity goes a long way!

Flower arrangements don't have to be expensive to look impressive. Sometimes, all it takes is a little creativity and imagination to create an attractive and charming flower arrangement.

I really liked what Martha Stewart did with these tin cans; they are so easy to create, they look sensational and they don't cost alot of money!


You can use this idea for a barbecue party, a beach party or any occassion that doesn't need elaborate decorations. You can also use those tin flower arrangements in your kitchen and around your home.

Now I have a reason to open all the neglected vegetable tins in my kitchen!

Cottage Style!

I was checking Better Homes & Gardens website and found out the most beautiful beach cottage! Suddenly i feel like turning my home into a cottage retreat!

As you can see in the photos, cottage style is all about simplicity and keeping things light, cozy and airy. With the right mix of pastel colors, soft floral fabrics, painted distressed furniture and fresh flowers, you can create a cheery and inviting cottage look that makes your guests want to stay for a while.

Gergaian!

In the past couple of years, a new trend emerged in Kuwait during the holy month of Ramadhan. Mother's would send out Gergaian bags and boxes to family members and friends by their children's names.


If you're a not-so-creative mom and looking for a cute Gergaian bag or basket for your child, visit http://www.rullart.com/about.asp and check out their beautiful Gergaian hand made creations.



The site also offers birthday give-aways, graduation and baby shower gifts.

The perfect color palette!

As i was sitting in my office having my regular cup of coffee, i came accross these amazing wedding photos taken by photographer Grey Bumatay and i just had to share them with you guys!

The whole setting was simply breathtaking; it's sophisticated, it's modern, it's fresh! I just love the idea of matching simple decorations with vibrant colors... maybe i should get married again so i can use this color combo hehe!

No-slip hair clip!

Are you looking for hair clips that actually stay in your baby's fine hair?

Well, i recently bought my daughter alot of pretty hair clips from http://www.lilsugarplum.com/ and they were all so cute, very well made and most importantly, they stay in place with only a few strands of hair!

They come in an assortment of colors, styles and designs. They are easy to put and take out and you don't have to worry about them tugging into your baby's fine hair.

If you want to give them out as gifts, don't worry about packaging and wrapping; they come in pretty pink boxes and tied with a nice ribbon.

The site also offers a collection of headbands, hats and other accessories for babies, toddlers and girls.

Be prepared!

When it's time to go give birth in hospital, every mom wants to be prepared. The last thing you want to worry about is whether you've forgotten your toothbrush or your baby's first outfit.

I know there are hundreds of hospital-bag checklists on the internet but this one is different because it is prepared especially for Kuwaiti moms; I know exactly what you need to pack for the big day ladies!

Below is a comprehensive list of items to pack for the hospital bag prepared by myself when i was pregnant. Please let me know if there's anything else i can add to this list.

For you:

Admission papers
Medium sized bag

I recommend that you pack your hospital bag by the end of your second trimester just incase you go into an early labor.
