Spa Aquatonic

I've been wanting to try Spa Aquatonic at Crown Plaza since i've head about it .. so last weekend i went there with the hubby for a massage..





i like the way the place looked it was really nice..







and for once, i was able to understand every single word the therapist said unlike the usual! ;p .. bs the therapist was chatty! ya3ni i was just done with my treatment oo still on the bed when she stands yam rasy o tsolif!!

as for the treatment itself, it was average.. i still rank Spa time at the top and 2nd comes Elements spa at Royal Hayat.. but this is worth trying..

Amaaaazing!

This brush works magic!!
oo the funny thing is that i was buying it o ana mo 3ajibni o magh9oobah!
i was abroad o ektishaft enni nasya my sephora ceramic brush ili kint amoooot 3alaiha.. so i went to not one but 5 sephoras o all of them didn't have it.

Customer service? What customer service?!

I've noticed these days the increase of posts complaining about customer service her in Kuwait. it's like every other day someone has gone through a very bad experience o when they speak to the management about it it's either they don't get a respond or get a respond yiirfa3 il thagh6 illi il wa7id egool law 7agreeni yimkin a7san!

at a restaurant a couple of days ago at the avenues, we complained to the manager about something. bs ma 3a6ana wayd waih fa later on when we were paying the bill we told the waiter to call him again. 10 min later o the manager didn't come!

we called the waiter and asked him if he did call his manager and he told us that he did. so we asked him to call him again, just as he was about to yana il manager yitmakh6ar.. sa2alnah ma nadak il waiter 9arlina mudda na6reen.. chan egool la2.. good thing the waiter was still standing there so we asked him jidamah etha he did o he said yes!!!

il manager tuwahag oo gam egool "haa laa ma sima3t madry sorry"!!

Experimenting with Kuwaiti cuisine

I did a huge thing. something not everyone can do.. something sooooo difficult and way out of my league.. sawaait machboos deyaay! ee ya jama3a u've read that right.. ana Journal Entries made a machboos deyay!

oo it was very good - putting aside the fact that the taste of maay ward o za3faran was a bit stronger than it should have been - the outcome was great! il deyay ma 6ala3 zafir mithil ma kint a7ati.. oo il 3aish was cooked to perfection!

i know il pics of my machboos deyay doesn't compare to Marzouq's.. bs u must see proof of machboosy's existence by urselves, plus this needs to be documented le2ana hatha 7adath tareekhy! ;p
