After her trip to Kuwait last weekend [here and here], Kim Kardashian moved on to Bahrain, also to open a new Millions of Milkshakes branch there.
Her trip to Bahrain was very organized and there was a party feel to her reception there, which included dance sequences, a stage, and a meet and greet. Plus, she also got to do some other unique things, making her gush that she loves Bahrain. She went to the desert, played with camels, and drank their milk (not sure if she actually drank it).
However, not the whole trip was successful and great. The Washington Post has a insightful article about Kim’s trip and the riots that broke over her being there. As much as people complained at how disorganized her event in Kuwait was, at least it was a pure business one. Watch the following ABC vid, you can’t help get the feeling there definitely was some political promotion behind her super love for Bahrain.

Saudi Telecom co., Mobily, just announced that it will offer free data roaming in Egypt and the UAE for its data plan subscribers. Prices are very cheap compared to Kuwait: 1 Gb for kd 8, 5 GB for kd 17, and unlimited data usage for just kd 30. These packages are the local plan packages, with the added benefit of using them abroad.
When will be getting this in Kuwait? All of our local telecom companies operate in neighboring countries, so we should at least get GCC and Sham area coverages with Zain (Bahrain, Jordan & Saudi), VIVA (Saudi), and Wataniya (Qatar).

Boxed is a new online furniture store. Their story is:
Boxed is an online store showcasing a great collection of modern furniture and accessories created by independent designers. We connect you with the designers and offer you the chance to customise all your orders and receive them in 3-weeks!
We are not fond of mass productions; instead carry a one of a kind modern collection that no other store has. Every item is selected carefully and quality factors come at our top priorities.
Not only that, but we also love to give back; we promote emerging designers and artisans in developing countries and offer them a free retail space to sell their merchandise. Please continue to support our talents and help spread the word!
The Idea:
Back in 2008, while I was working as a Wedding Planner at a renowned Events Company in Dubai, UAE, I was always on the hunt to find a one stop shop for modern and custom-made products. Unfortunately that wish never came true even in the glamorous city of Dubai.
When I moved to live in Bahrain, and being away from the ever busy city of Dubai, I had the time to come up with this exciting store concept and help join many designers under one roof. And as I kept going I sensed the enthusiasm of the designers and the need for such a platform.
‘Boxed’ now is on a mission to support independent designers from around the globe, and offer a hand to all artisans working in developing countries to help sustain their livelihoods and increase their earnings!
We love what we started and hope to grow gradually in this field.
Boxed is located in Bahrain and do deliver to Kuwait and other countries, check out their site here.
