Event: International Autism Day

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them. People with autism have difficulties with everyday social interaction.

The 2nd of April marks International Autism Day and is recognized by the UN since 2008. The Autism Marathon was one of the events that took place on march this year to help support Autism this was organized by Kuwait Center for Autism, Kuwait Autism Society, and Reach Volunteer group. Reach Autism ribbons and booklets about autism will be distributed for free in 360 mall and Marina Mall.

You can support Autism by buying Awareness products online through Hadeya Station where all proceeds will go to Autistic children in Kuwait. The November Bakery will be supporting Autism as well, so pass by the bakery that day.

I love that there's such a great effort going towards raising awareness for Autism, in fact I was recently working on a dramatic piece about Autism.

Interesting. Did you publish that piece? It's important to highlight such issues to people so that they know how to deal with it.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit. After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the Altuzarra sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away. Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare. This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
