1- What do you do?

I started my blog when I was working at an investment company. It was a creative outlet for me, one where I could express all the artistic sides of me and post inspiration from magazines, blogs and other sites as well. From there, I started getting writing commissions and also joined the team behind Khaleejesque. It is definitely not what I planned for, but I enjoy every minute of it.

I also cook & bake during my free time and am planning to start a food business (too early to say exactly what it is). I love it oh so much!

3- where do you do it? (online shop, buisness address, contact details and blog)

4- Best birthday cake memory? taste? from?

5- you have 30 kd and you need to feed 20 guests, what do you do? where do you go?

When the seating is comfortable, the people are relaxed, the music is nice (and not too loud!) and of course when the food is delicious.

A relative or a close friend’s wedding. If I personally know the bride, it makes all the difference!

The “yalwa”. I’d love it if more people did it.. I haven’t seen one in ages!

Call me boring, but I think the whole New Year celebration is so overrated. The last few years, I’ve been spent New Year’s Eve at home with my family gatherings chatting and having good food.

Beyonce is pretty fun! I also don’t want to admit that I’m having fun listening to Ke$ha! Recently, I’ve been listening to more Dance/Techno/House and DJ remixes like those by David Guetta, so I think those are fun to play in the background.

Nuts, candied nuts, chocolates, dried fruits, dried fruits dipped in chocolate.. Basically, something sweet, something salty. And nothing that can ruin your dress if you accidentally drop it!

It depends on the family. Some people feel uncomfortable at a mixed wedding. My ideal situation would be, a traditional women’s ceremony, but mixed during the dinner/buffet. Why should the groom be the only one there?

13- Cake or cupcakes?

For weddings, definitely cake.

English: Usher! Arabic: Anything by Mohammed Abdo I guess.

A seaside location with an ocean view.

Recently I’ve been having more fun at the latter, because it has less people – more relatives less strangers – and almost everyone knows everyone else. They’re more intimate and relaxed. Obviously, the downside is that people tend to stuff too many guests in a small area, so service gets messy and the seating is oh so uncomfortable! Ballrooms of course have the added advantage of being more glamorous and have better facilities.

I think you can find anything and everything in Kuwait. I can’t understand why people bring in chocolates from abroad, when I’ve tasted some of the best in Kuwait. Some print their cards in another country, when we have great printers and graphic designers here. Some also get cheap looking party favors that cost them a fortune abroad. I can’t name one place, but if you’re serious about it, you can find everything you want in this country.

I’d say the simpler the home, the easier it is to have a party in it. The more columns, furniture, stairways, and rooms, the harder it is to plan an event. For those who are going to build a home, I suggest going smaller on the building, and having a bigger garden/porch. If the house is too small for a party, then the garden won’t be.

I’m not any of the above, but everything I wrote above is exactly what I would do when the time comes. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity.

Flower shops and furniture & accessories stores.

21- and these are just for fun….what do you prefer?
challet or city? Both. I can never give up one or the other.
night owl or early bird? Early bird.
polka dots or stripes? Tough one. Stripes.
pastels or brights? Pastels.
morning fix? Vanilla latte.
