Gisele Bundchen Gave Birth Under Water… Ewww

Gisele tells a Brazilian magazine “I gave birth in the bathtub” She will be featured in a photo shoot, just six weeks after giving birth. I have a feeling she’s  going to look better post-baby than most of us who had never even had babies! Oh well, at least I know what a burger tastes like ;) Bisoux

Beirut: Sex And The City Meets South Beach.

This article posted in USA TODAY describes Beirut as the place where the “city’s young and beautiful are bellying up to the hottest night spot, the bohemian Gemmayzeh neighborhood. Model-chic Beiruti women, sporting skinny pants, stiletto boots and cascading tresses, cluster in groups or with dates inside the hip bars, pubs and restaurants that line this milder Middle East version Bourbon Street.”

It goes on to  describe it as ” Sex and The City Meets South Beach.”

“Beirut is like a Lebanese Babylon, where Arabs can dance on tabletops, swim in bikinis and kiss their girlfriends in public,” says British journalist Warren Singh-Bartlett, a 12-year resident. In summer, the famous beach clubs hold their own against the playgrounds of Greece and Spain.”

 

Mon Obsession Du Jour

Nutella Cake and Iced Capp

I went out with a colleague of mine who is a chocolate connoisseur after work last night.  We had this To-Die-For Nutella cake at Segafredo  ( Gemmayze). Soooo goood. You know what this means:  twenty extra minutes on the treadmill tonight. Totally worth it.  Bisoux

What’s interesting about this picture, is Arab Politicians rarely ever show any signs of public affection while out with their spouses let alone on an official trip.  Its pretty sweet that they’re holding hands!! I’d give Madame Hariri a 6/10 for her outfit she could’ve def done better, but she sure is rocking some serious Bling on that watch. Bisoux

Favorite Gossip Girl Quotes

Blair: "Whoever said that money doesn't buy happiness, didn't know where to shop."

Beyoncé Does Allure

 She says: “I grew up with my mother walking past, and you could smell the faint scent of her fragrance—it always gave me this sense of comfort. I just thought it was so beautiful that she would walk by and leave her scent”

“I definitely want to have a child,” she says. “But I know from my nephew it’s a lot. I hope that those things will just happen naturally. I still haven’t had time to relax.”

Ethiopian Airline Crash In Beirut

My heart goes out to every family who may have a loved one involved in the dreadful crash that happened this morning, 4 minutes after Ethiopian Airlines  Flight 409 bound to Addis Ababa plunged into the Mediterranean Sea.   The mood in Beirut is a  gloomy one but hopes of finding survivors are not abandoned.  I already know two people who know someone that was on that flight and are waiting to hear news on the fate of the passengers.  Stay Strong Lebanon.
