A lot of us, ladies, think of the wedding day as the BIG day! A day where everything must go according to plans, and nothing is supposed to go wrong, right? What comes along with it? Panic! Yeah… the organizing of the event from flowers, caterers, music, the cake, cards, setting, the dress… YOU NAME IT!
Well, luckily for you… “hannayome” is here!
Hannayome, which happend to mean “bride” in Japanese, is a bridal magazine and brainchild of Mariam AlSuwailem and Haya AlKholaifi who packed everything for you -everything you can think of and need- to plan the BIG day. Think of it as THE little handy guide! Now that will save you the time, effort, and headache!
The magazine will be free of charge and will be found in salons, clinics, confectioneries, jewelers, flower shops, and any other locations that would commonly serve a Bride on her big day. All advertisers are reference and not commercial, so you’ll have all the information you need from the first page to the last.
‘Hannayome’ was launched under Rassill Publishing & Distribution Co., Mariam and Haya’s mother company. For more information, you can contact Mariam Al-Suwailem or Haya Al-Kholaifi at info@rassillinfo.com, or go to www.rassillinfo.com.

I saw this video, which I loved, on Blushberry! Enjoy 😉

Whats your favorite mushroom soup?
Mine is definitley is Riccardo’s, but I am not a big fan of hotel restaurants…. Well, they are -to me- for special occasions with family or significant others. One of my friend suggested I try Nino’s, as he thinks its the best in town.
I posted that question last year on Kuwait & Food and got some interesting answers. Since then I have been trying out different soups at different restaurants. Le Notre’s soup was suggested by a couple of people… so I tried it and it didnt meet expectations, it was just okay (I remember trying years back and it was way better)! I tried Saso’s and did not like it. Lorenzo’s wasnt bad… and it hasnt changed for years! Nice! So now I have Paul and Napket on my list…. Or any other suggestions you have?
Last week, during my lunch break, I tried Casper & Gambini’s.
The soup is not bad at all, but it did not beat Riccardo’s! It was a bit oily at the top! I also ordered iced tea in citron flavor
Well, not recommended… their other iced teas are way better. I like the mint iced tea, the one with cinnamon sticks in and a lemon wedge! And the organic iced tea, which I happen to have a picture of as well 😉
Well back to the main topic… Mushroom soups!!! Any recommendations?
My sister sometimes make herself anise tea using star anise. I tried one with her… it smells really good, with a spicy scent tingle!
She started drinking it when she heard/read somewhere about its health benefit and how it works on boosting the immune system (specially with the swine flu craze) – (read about its health benefits here)
Of course! Its Belgium, we just had to go around and eat chocolate while we can! We passed by few stores here and there
Oh gotta ❤ neuhaus! I bough chocolate for my chocolate lovers loved ones! Oh and I will review ChocoSpresso in a later post (picture below)!
After lunch, we walked around the city… it was so cold. We came across a store called VALROHNA.
The store owner/partner asked us to come in. His name was Anthony, and he was really nice and friendly 🙂
He was generous enough to make us all taste whatever chocolates we wanted. My sisters ended up buying a set of tin boxes with different flavors! Below is one of which.
After long conversations and lots of chocolate browsing he asked where we’re from, and when we told him Kuwait… he started to talk in Arabic! He was hilarious! As he explained, he is taking classes, and then invited us to his other store CHOCOPOLIS 🙂
The idea came when he was studying the Acropolis of Athens. He said while they have the Acropolis in Athens, he wanted to have Chocoplis (City of Chocolate) in Belgium! And that when he first opened his store a couple of years back
We were given a mini tour in his store and were told that we can taste anything we wanted 😀
It was really hard for us to pick! Everything looked really good and the aroma was mind blowing!
And check this out….
Their own Chocolaterie where they make chocolates!
In shorts, Anthony was super nice and very friendly. He showered us with all kinds of chocolates from both stores, gave us souvenirs too! And he said, they dont mind shipping to Kuwait when arranged.
