Hi, Kolyoum Wear is participating in The Annual Holiday Bazaar this year and I am really looking forward to it. It will take place next Friday Nov 18th at Salwa Sabah AlAhmed Hall in Salmiya next to Marina and Hard Rock Cafe. This event will be only one day but a full one from morning to night without a break in the middle. I hope it turns out to be a successful one as it is organised by the creative K-Events. Wish me luck and hope to see you there. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=164377726984754
I just had another Open Day under the theme "Think Pink" as it is held in October. This time the Open Day was not in my place but rather at a friend called Asma. We were six exhibitors from different countries and with a variety of items that women really need daily such as clothes (imported from Europe and Egypt), accessories from Lebanon and Turkey, Makeup, face and body creams and natural products as well as fine jewellery (Gold, Silver and Diamonds). I did my advertisement for this event like every time through Facebook, Kuwaiti Forums, Sultan Centre and this time I added Twitter which was a MUST.
We had a great time and had Henna drawing and Free Facial.
Here are some photos of the day:
Last week we took the cat to be vaccinated and after coming back home it was soooo tired that it slept all day till dawn of the next day which was a Sunday. Kids know by now that they keep it in their room while they are at school and that what's happened all last week. Sunday came and the cat was in the room and I was free in my home to watch TV or even to surf the net without any interference, then the cat's mewing started to be more like crying or shouting and I thought that it would simply regain all its strength and open the door and come chasing me. I couldn't resist feeling sorry for it after the vaccination so I let it out on that day and till the time being. The Cat is now FREE and living with us as a new member of the family, but I don't let it come near my toes, just can't stand this thought.
Do you believe that the cat likes me, at least the kids think so. I guess they are right cause I am the one who feed it and maybe because I am at home all day and got used to me. But to tell you the truth, sometimes it annoys me when I am cooking or over the net. Anyway, they are all happy now and I am getting used to it with us day after day.
The name is Fluffy, Male - 4 months old.
You wouldn't believe what happened with the cat! As you know that I called my husband and told him that he has to take care of that cat and I meant that he should get rid of her and take it back to his friend. He came back from work and nothing happened, I had to go to my workshop again in the evening and in the middle of it I received a call from my daughter telling me that they returned the cat back and she sounded like crying. Do you believe that I wasn't happy to hear that? Or putting it in another way, I wasn't happy to hear and feel the sadness in my daughter's voice, even though I really don't want the cat. I was depressed and left the workshop though it was getting more interesting, but I lost interest in everything all of a sudden. I was driving like crazy and thinking at the same time. I went home safely thank God and I talked with my children about what happened. In the beginning they said they were OK, but deep inside they were sad and couldn't say it, though it showed. I knew that now they were thinking that I am the selfish Mum who is doing what is best for her and not caring about their needs. So, we made a deal that I will bring them back the cat on two conditions which were of course they should take care of it and its cleanliness and the second condition that they would keep it in their room until they return back from school and ofcourse they agreed and I took them and went to get back our CAT.
I was out yesterday evening attending a workshop at the Kuwait Economic Society from 5-8:30 pm. I got home to find out that my husband and kids bought a cat and even went shopping for the cat's food and toys. They simply got it without even telling me! They know that I don't like cats, even though I have to admit that it looks cute and fluffy. I started yelling at them, telling them that I don't want it in my house but then I saw sadness in my daughter's eyes. I know that they are so happy to have the cat at home, as they never had a pet before. I shut myself in my room yesterday and my husband slept in another room with the cat. Is this a living? Today I woke up and took the kids to school and returned back home thinking that everything will be ok, but it wasn't. The cat was chasing me all over the place, I couldn't even make a cup of tea. I locked myself in my room again and now I am going to fetch the kids finally so that they take care of their little new toy. I don't know what will happen next, but I am not feeling comfortable at all with it, especially that it is making strange sounds that I don't understand. I told my husband that I can't stand this and that he has to take care of it, but I don't know waht to do and I don't want my kids to be upset!!!! Puzzled.
It was 9:30 in the evening the day before yesterday when I thought that my phone rang. Yes cause it was such a quick missed call and if I wasn't really alert to it, I wouldn't have noticed it at all especially that it didn't show. I headed to the phone but I didn't find a missed call, I checked it out from the log and there it was, a missed call from Elma.
Elma was the Sales lady in my previous shop, I was just telling you recently how I get attached to places and people and then suddely I find her missed call.
For a minute, I thought maybe she was trying to call her new Employer and was mixed up and that's why she hung up so quickly. But I called her and as soon as I asked her how she was, she started complaining and telling me that she is not good at all. She wasn't happy with her new employer and wants to go to another shop. She asked me "why did you have to go?" At this time, I kept all my emotions inside cause I didn't want to show her my true feeling, but my heart was really broken and I can really feel her regret. I just told her to calm down and that it was the first day in a new job and that everything will get better as soon as you know her better and get adapted to her mood and way of thinking. She told me that she didn't allow her to go to the bathroom and that this is a " Ma yeseer thing" meaning "you can't do this". What the hell? Where is the Human Rights? I can't believe it!
I told her to go to the office and ask to work in another shop instead and she said that she will do this the following day.
I really wish you good luck Elma.
Eversince I was a child I had this wierd affection towards places and things. Whenever I visit a place and stay there for a week or more, then I get attached to it and it would be difficult leaving it. Also with things, like cars for example, the thought of buying a new car is always nice, but to think about leaving or selling the old one is always a hard feeling, it's like a bond. Not to mention the people of course, if I am moving to another job, it is always hard to leave my old colleagues even though I can easily and quickly make new friends. So it is the emotions, the memories, the good and bad times that we've shared together.
The worst was when they told me that they would evacuate my granny's villa and rent it to an embassy. I couldn't stand this, I wasn't even concerned about my stuff there, as much as the place itself. All my childhood memories are there in that place. I grew up and was brought up there, it was my home eversince I was a baby till I got married. Then right after my grand parents died, my mom and uncles thought of renting it. People, this is my home, this is my memories, my childhood, my teen-age, my youth, My LIFE. No body understands that I am attached to it, it is like a part of me and they are taking it away. I can't just imagine that there are other people there, staying in my room. Anyway, I still have this feeling though it's been a long time now.
But today, I have a new bad feeling, not as much as my granny's home, but it's also a new attachment "My Shop". I just closed it, I only had it for six months, but strangely I feel bad about leaving it. It will stay in my memory forever even when I get a new shop. What to say? Am I a weak person? Or is it nice to have emotions?
Unfortunately I am closing my shop at the end of this month. Ya3ni whoever wanted to buy any of my products and was planning to come over to the shop by next month, let me tell you to grab the opportunity and come this week.
In shaa Allah I will open a new Shop in another location soon and will be posting the new address here, but at the time being I will be receiving your queries and orders via What's App # 94096626.
Of course I have my reasons for closing the shop, but I am keeping them for me as I don't want any misunderstanding from some people.

Hi all, I am back from my looooong vacation, yes this time was the longest ever. I spent more than two months in Egypt this summer. Well, it was great anyway and we had fun except for some obstacles in the middle.
Actually I am here since last Saturday but had a lot to do before communicating. Now that I am settled down - kind of- I would be free and ready to take your orders and to have more open days Inshaa Allah in the near future, but give me some time until my children start their new school next Sunday and till I feel that they are fine and settled as well.
I have got new items in the shop, so please feel free to go have a look and give me your feedback and of course and as usual, just give me a call when you are at the shop to get your instant discount.
Wishing you all a successful year.
