I don’t have much first hand experience with PLEO, the new lifelike dinosaur on the market now, but I’ve been seeing advertisements everywhere and saw it in its package. And the PLEO looks adorable. According to the ads, Pleo is a “Life form, a one week old camarasaurus dinosaur engineered to mimic life. Pleo learns and evolves over time through owner interaction”. It eats, sleeps, hears and feels. There are many videos of Pleo on youtube for anyone interested in getting to know about it more. It’s also available at Yousefi in Kuwait if you are interested in seeing it firsthand.

I’ve been meaning to post about this Must Have product for a while. It’s been 7 months I’m using Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 25. And I can safely say that this is one of those “shouldn’t leave home without products”. The reasons I like it so much aside from the fact that its a high spf is the clean all day lasting smell (but I love that about all Clinique products) as well as the healthy shine it gives your face. More importantly, it has a tiny bit of color which gives the effect of foundation without being obvious. I would rate this product a 10/10 for day use. But keep in mind that it’s not a moisturizer so the best mix is to put on the moisturizer of your choice followed by a pea size of City block. No foundation required

Diet Fast Food

I had a breakthrough yesterday. Hanx and I were out shopping and he really felt like Johnny Rockets. My heart started beating because I had no idea what I could eat there aside from salad (because I ate salad for lunch). Plus, the burgers on the menu looked sooooooooo good. So as a compromise, since I’m not allowed to eat carbs, I asked them to get me the double burger with everything on it minus the bun. And surprisingly enough, it did the job, and then some. Lesson learned: Dieting isn’t really that bad, you just have to be a bit creative.
