Better now than later (maybe)

I grimaced as I drove into the city. Could see the tall buildings half hidden by the smog. Though ridiculous, I quickly thought about holding my breath. Thought about rolling up the windows but knew I would smolder by the heat trapped inside the car.

It wasnt long before I knew something was off. A smell that smelled like chemicals in the air. Then warm air. Then a noise. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO". I took it all in stride. Was glad that I was at least on my way into Dubai to get my braces tightened for the first time since they were put on.

I didnt sweat too badly from the heat. Sprayed my Evian water on before going into the AC of the office to get freshened up. Thankfully, I was on my way back to Abu Dhabi as the sun went down. It wasnt too bad. Felt like a typical summer day in Gawga minus the humidity. I cant help but laugh to myself when they talk about humidity here.

So my car is in the shop. They cant do anything without holding your car for days it seems. I hope they finish quickly. Casper just got her shades and Im ready to drive!

Moroccanoil Soap

If youve read this blog for any length of time, Im sure youve gotten your laughs off my Moroccan bath experience. As crazy as that was for me, i believe I will be going to get one again, though at a much better establishment! Today, I ran across this product  And while waiting in line for a price, an Arabic lady gave it the once over, looked inside, and nodded her head in approval of what was inside. After seeing it was only 9.50 dhm, I got another. Once I try it, I will certainly give a review! In the meantime, here is information about the product-or products like this: Moroccan Black Soap and How To Use It The black soap is part of the traditional hammam ritual. It is the first treatment in oriental public bath. With a texture of butter, this natural vegetable paste based with black olives is rich in vitamin E.

Braces in the UAE

This has been a long time coming. Ive wanted braces since forever. At home it wasnt in the budget.Here, the first year went by and I decided that if I didnt get them this year, I would probably keep putting it off. So I start the process of looking. Requirements? clean,efficient,KNOWLEDGEABLE, affordable. That was pretty much what I wanted. After some searching, I realized that I couldn't pay 25000 dirham...didn't really want to pay 14000 but would if I had to...and then I came across an  ortho place  in Dubai. hmmmmmm. Dubai? Perks were: no down payment,500 dh each visit, retainer included. I was in. So I called and went hoping against all hope that it would be more than the regular consultation because Id driven from Abu Dhabi! Fortunately, they xrayed me and told me about the process a bit. I didn't know what to ask so I took my  papers after signing to the "deal" and went home with the biggest grin ever on my face. I WAS GETTING BRACES! And then I...
