Vittoria...The Unique Taste

I'm going to tell you about one of my favourite fast food restaurants called "Vittoria" , it's Italian word means victory.

One day I was talking with my friend about the dinner ,he told me there is a new restaurant called Vittoria located in Abu Saib'a village on Budday'a Avenue, and it has Instagram account @vittorya_bh, I went to their account for the first time and I saw different of delicious meals and sandwiches and even salad with a special Zaffaran and lemon juice and fries which actually made me hungry.

In their menu they have :

-Greek Salad and meals or sandwiches like Vitalita (chees cubes, American lettuce, tomato and special bread of Italian taste) , Special Vittoria (crispy fried chicken,  American lettuce, tomato, special sauce and bread), Zenger (crispy spicy fried chicken),Speciel Ta'amya for vegetarians people, sandwiches like egg omelet, sausage, burger...etc.

-There prices are cheap and affordable between 600 fills to 1.500 BD.

The most thing that encouraged me to go was the attractive of Special Vittoria picture and the customers reviews of this meal. I went to the restaurant with my friend and we ordered chicken Special Vittoria meal included fries and Zaffaran juice and its price 1.200 BD, they took few minutes and then when we ate it we found the real taste, I really like it even after that I'm going to this restaurant each month one to two times till now and I checked everything they provide but the best one was Special Victoria , Speciel Ta'amya, Greek Salad.

Advantages:
- Best deal.
- Less time waiting.
- Fresh food.
- Clean and healthy environment.
- New ideas of different delicious food.
- They give a sponsorship to excellent students of University of Bahrain. 

Disadvantages:
- There's delivery available to nearest areas only but they promised their customers to reach every areas in Bahrain as possible in the future.
- Small place and one table outside, because I think the restaurant is a small business and new.
- Located in a village away from the main street so in the first time we were lost.

At the end, I like the restaurant and their food, if you want to go I encourage you to check Special Vittoria meal and this is their name on Instagram @vittorya_bh go and visit it if you interested.

Ritz Carlton's SPA!!

The Ritz Carlton's Spa is my favorite place to relax in BAHRAIN!
Its the perfect get away from all you're problems, stress, studies, work...etc

Let me tell you about this amazing experience..
You get to choose from a variety of treatment choices, my favorite is the aroma massage thearapy.

Your experience starts in the meditation room to get in the mood for youre massage, an amazing quiet dark room with soothing sounds and a healthy green tea..

After that you start with your massage in the most relaxing room you can imagine, lavishing oils, trained professionals,  complete pure relief of all stress by top trained staff!

Believe it or not the experience is not yet over! The real relaxing fun starts after the massage, you get to use the amazing facilities that the spa offers.

Specially for the ladies:
A pool made specially for you to relax filled with sea water and massaging beds inside the pool! The design of this pool is fascinating, beautiful see through ceiling which gives the view of the clear sky while lying down in the pool massage bed keeping in mind that the sea water in this pool is very beneficial for the skin!

Mixed section:

1- turkish bath: this bath is an experience by it self, you will get mesmarised by how its designed and how good it is for the health, skin and the relaxing mood youre looking for.
Four pools each pool has a different temperature and different fragranced beneficial oils.
You should enter each pool for ten minutes, the water temperature increases in each pool, after the third pool you get to choose between the Sauna or the steam room once youre ten minutes are over you have to jump in the last freezing pool and jump out! The feeling after this bath is so refreshing that will make you wanna do it all over again, keeping in mind that there isnt anything like it in any other spa in bahrain.

2- Indoors and outdoors pool with cold and hot jacuzzi.

3- Beach

Over all this experience is really remarkable, the best way to spend a whole day in total relaxation in one of the best 5 stars hotels in the kingdom for only 45BD if you still didnt try it, then youre surely missing out!

In this post am going to review a website I was introduced to by a friend for books, this website is called GoodReads. It has many options to search for books for free and you don't even have to sign up or create an account for that matter.  Here are the reasons to why I like it :
  • Layout & Design: The layout and the design of the website is very simple and user friendly, you will know your way around it in no time.
  • Classification: The way they classify the books by specific categories makes it easier for you to search for books as well as providing a list of top books for each category.  
  • Recommendation: Once you choose a book it will automatically recommends related and similar books for you to look at that might interests you.
  • Book's Information: It also provides description about the book and as well as details like the edition and language of the book.
  • Community Reviews: Under each selected book there is a section dedicated for rating and writing reviews about the book, you can read many reviews from different readers before buying the book.
  • Where to Buy: The site offers you links from where you can buy a copy of the book you chose with their price listed as well.

These features don't only save you time but efforts as well, instead of opening many links and searching in many websites and getting lost while doing that. So if you like reading and you need to find some interesting new books that aren't available in here I recommend you to check this website.

Am rating this site 5/5

I bought this item for 80BD, and I used it for 8 months almost. I wondered if it is water resistant so I searched online for people reviews and I found that most of them agreed that it is  , but I found out after a while it’s not when it’s disrupted because of the water! And there is no way to fix it so I returned it to the box like a new and keep it in the locker.

It is not only for those who are interested in fitness, because its look very fashioned and I have seen many people wearing it and consider it like a regular watch. It’s available with 3 colors before (Black - Ice Black - Ice White). In the end of 2013 they come with new models and called it Nike+ FuelBand SE and provide new colors for it (Pink - Red - Silver - Yellow).


I highly recommended of purchasing it and I am planning to buy the new model very soon. ^_^
 

Miroir des Voluptes Thierry Mugler for women

 
 
Des Voluptes is my favorite perfume out of the Miroir collection. The first time I smelled it, Its stunned me and I knew that I must have it and thanks to my sister that she give it to me as a gift, Its an amazing combination of pure Oud and Taif rose, Musk, And Tobacco leaf. Its so velvety, Elegant, Long lasting. The smell remain strong even after a long day and after getting back from the Gym.

 Its made specially for middle east. So if you don't have the Arabian mood I don't recommend  you to buy it.
It will cost you BD55  if you get it from duty free but BD65 from Debenhams.
The bottle was made for only 50 ml, So you may think that its expensive to pay BD 65 for 50 ml bottle but in my opinion its worth every Fils although Iam not a Thierry Mugler fun but Iam in love with this perfume and for sure I will repurchase it.

The best makeup remover ever!

The Bioderma Créaline H2O has been out there in the market for quite a while, and so many YouTube gurus where raving about it, so I decided to give it a try!
The first impression was that It felt like water but better! It was very gentle on my skin, and removed every single bit of makeup. It cleanses, soothes, and leaves you with a soft feeling skin. Being a person who has sensitive skin, I'm picky when it comes to skincare products, because so many of them tend to aggravate my skin, especially the makeup remover wipes where a big No No for me.
  • How to use it: shake the bottle to create a foam then wet a cotton pad with few drops then press it on the eyes for few seconds (don't rub), and then flip the cotton pad over to wipe the rest of the face. Repeat if necessary.
  • How much to pay for it:  very affordable price BD6.505 (250 ml) at Boots pharmacy
  • Where to get it: it's available at Boots pharmacy (Seef Mall/City Center), and at most pharmacies in Bahrain.
  • Formulas: Combination to Oily Skin (green lid) / Dry and Sensitive Skin (pink lid)
  • Rating: 5.00/5.00
This makeup remover/cleanser lasts for ages! This is my second bottle of it, and definitely would be repurchasing it! It's one of the skincare essentials that should be in every lady's kit.
