Breast cancer can affect anyone- regardless of who you are or where you're from," said Dr. Nouralhuda Karmani, head of Breast Imaging Unit at Al-Sabah Hospital in Kuwait, and founder of www.breastcarekuwait.org. "People fighting against breast cancer today are mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends- they are people who need our support and acceptance as they battle to regain their health. And we honour their fight when we embrace and share the message that breast cancer screening is vital for all women."

Just a Thought said…

Good on them! My heart goes out to all those affected by it. And also spare a thought to the unfortunate bloke who comes down with a cancer of the breast ever so rarely - it is sure as hell signing on a death warrant for guys where the disease spreads directly to the chest wall due to a lack of supporting fibrofatty connective tissue subjacent to the breast, in men.
The Avenues is a very good nodal for dissemination of public health information in Kwt: in the past we've seen campaigns on blood donations and now on breast cancer. They should do more of these with a focus on cervical PAP smear testings, prostate cancer, pre-marital counselings for thalassemias and sexual problems as well as for mental health.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
