So I got my second dose of Oxford yesterday and it was at the Abdulrahman Al-Zaid Clinic. My initial thought when I got the SMS was, where on earth!? I couldn't find the clinic on Google maps and had to ask around on Facebook (thank you Expat Mums in Kuwait) before I got the location. Wouldn't it be lovely if our vaccination appointments came with a location pin as well? Would certainly make life a lot easier. Anyway, thought I'd list the places I know of below and I'll keep adding to this.  Abdulrahman Al-Zaid Clinic aka West Mishref East Ahmadi Clinic aka Sharq Al Ahmadi Kuwait Vac ..read more

With the dine-in restrictions now in place in Kuwait, apart from takeaway and delivery, a lot of places have now started car dine-in. Though a handful of restaurants did offer car dine-in last year, (@frankies.kw was my first experience), they were few and far between.  Anyway, with the high number of COVID cases and dine-in being closed again, I can see more and more restaurants riding the car dine-in wave. Eating in the confines of your car might not sound very appealing, especially when it comes to a three course meal, but it isn't as fussy as you think. Most rest ..read more

We dined at Wahaj and were mesmerized by the beautiful interiors. However, I’m all about the food so let me tell you what we had:    The Endives Bites (KD 2.75) was quite the looker and certainly made for beautiful photos, however the simple Corn & Avocado (KD 3.5) was what won me over with corn, avocado, spinach and orange for a little tangy twist. For mains, we dined on the Tandoori Lamb Chops (KD 7.95). These were so succulent and I was so tempted to pick that bone clean. Loved the whole bulb of garlic served on the side too. The other w ..read more

My favourite place to grab steamed bao buns have now added dumplings to their menu! I'm talking about Bao, located in Kuwait City ad you know I immediately went to try said dumplings! There are four dishes on their menu and yes we tried them all.  First up, there are Pan-Fried Shitake Mushroom (KD 2.5) and Pan-Fried Veg (KD 2.25) Dumplings. All the dumplings are served with four different dipping sauces, Korean, hot garlic, homemade chili and peanut. The peanut is great if you like your food mild, however, my personal motto is, the spicier the better. I challenge you to make me sweat ..read more

B+F Burger Boutique have a brand new location at the Gate Mall and I’m here to hook you up with my must order list! First up is my favourite burger, the Bacon Swiss (KD 3.2) . It is juicy, meaty and has just the right number of fresh components to give you that ultimate burger experience.  And  my favourite appetizer? The Mushroom Poppers (KD 3). They’re little packets of flavour that explode in your mouth. I’ll definitely be ordering these every time I’m at Burger Boutique.  We also tried the Crispy Duck Salad (KD 4.5) which was a nice fresh number. I would love to have ..read more

With the long summer break ahead for the kids, you need to check out @mrteddytoys. They carry an extensive range of toys, board games, puzzles, lego, craft kits and even books for all ages. It's every child's dream come true and perfect for when you're trying to enforce a no-screen time. We picked up a My Little Pony book, an LOL OMG doll (which little girl isn't crazy about them?), the cutest Little Live Pet dragon, a Shimmer Art kit (think hours and hours of creative fun) and finally something that the whole family can get into, a Trolls edition Junior Monopoly board. We've been p ..read more

Take a walk with the @lifewithcacaokw dessert cups ❤ These cups are designed for you to have dessert on the go and would make a great window shopping companion. (They're also great to order and enjoy at home too!) We have eight amazing flavours: Milk Cake, Cacao Fondant, Banana Pudding, Cherry Forest, Apple Crumble, Tiramisu, Cheese Bomb and finally Choconutty. My favourite? This is so hard because I loved each one but the Tiramisu with its decadent and creamy layers just hits the spot! Or if you prefer something with more clean flavours, the Apple Crumble is beautiful wi ..read more

So here’s a little skin secret I can’t wait to share.  I’ve been using the @skindeva.kw Vitamin C serum for exactly 2 months now and over the course of this time, I can’t tell you the number of people who have asked what I’ve been using differently.  Though it can take up to 12 weeks for you to fully see results, I’ve been enjoying the improvements this serum is slowly doing to my skin and can’t wait to share.  Skin Deva is also cruelty free by the way!  Ok, so what does Vitamin C actually promise?  Even skin tone and a smoother and brighter appearance, both which ..read more

*It sure has been a while since I was last here, but hey, there's no time like the present to start again, right? I have something pretty big to share with you all!  Souk Safar (@souksafar) by Boodai Aviation, in collaboration with Atlantis, The Palm, has a really awesome campaign running at the moment. Starting January 3rd until the 5th (Saturday), Souk Safar have set up a display in the space in front of The Cheesecake Factory.  I passed by today afternoon and was met by all the festivities planned by Souk Safar and Atlantis.  There are lots of upgrades, free gifts and ..read more

I'm sure we've all seen vans and minibuses with the City Van logo emblazoned on the side driving around Kuwait.  I just assumed they were transporting staff and never really thought that they were for the public.  But a call from the lovely Marketing Manager over at City Van set me straight.  Did you know that City Van offers some pretty amazing services to the public?  Neither did I, hence this post. They have 3 very convenient and competitively priced services to choose from.  The laws here in Kuwait are constantly changing regarding just which expats are privi ..read more
