April 2018 www.womanthismonth.com news 6 Letters I absolutely loved, loved, loved your wedding issue in March. You seemed to have thought of all the most important things, like the venue, make-up, and, of course, the dress! It makes me happy that you have featured dresses for all kinds of brides. Also, the checklist for every brideto-be before her big day is just perfect. I’m saving this issue for my sister, whose wedding is on the cards. Isabel, Seef It’s great that Woman This Month has shed light on bullying, which is sadly a very common happening in schools and peer groups. Kudos to the Naseem Foundation for taking up the cause and spreading awareness about the dangers of this socially unacceptable behaviour. Parents must be in tune with their children, especially adolescents, and pick up on the warning signs of them bullying or being bullied. After all, being on either side of the fence is dangerous. Tina, Hamala I have been doing my research on hair Botox but have got mixed reviews from others. I was a little sceptical as to whether it will damage my already stressed-out hair, like other chemical treatments. Thanks to Woman This Month’s article on what the procedure is all about, and where to go for it, I am confident it is the thing for me this summer. Vicky, Busaiteen Dubai-based modest fashion brand, Desert Cove, offers the modern modest woman the long-awaited opportunity to express herself in the latest trends without compromising her modest needs. The brand aims to bridge the gap between mainstream fashion and modesty, asserting both can be achieved beautifully. Every collection that Desert Cove features has an extraordinary amount of hard work behind it, from the valuable feedback of the customers to the complex trial and test method the founder, Mosika Zeid, undertakes with each design. Lawyer, entrepreneur and mother, Mosika, relocated to Dubai from her native Australia and found it difficult to find modest on-trend basics in the UAE. She realised there was a gap in the market and Desert Cove was born, revolving around a minimalist yet modern aesthetic. Having closed the show at Dubai Modest Fashion Week, the brand is now coming to Bahrain and will be available at the Milk Concept Store in Riyadat Mall, A'ali. To celebrate, readers have the chance to win two pieces from the latest collection. Keep an eye on our social media pages for details on how to participate. Win,Win,Win!

The journalist, from Naperville, Illinois, is a news reporter for WHBF-TV. Tahera, 27, has vied for the on-air position for several years and, even after working at the station as a producer for two years, she was overlooked for the job. But not losing sight of her dream of stepping in front of the camera, Tahera persisted, even when a colleague told her America wasn’t ready for a hijabi TV reporter. Thankfully, she still applied and her reel proved to be the best of all the applicants. Tahera is now hoping that her talent and work will be the main story and not her headscarf. “I am where I belong. And you have to deal with it because this is my America, too,” she says. www.metro.co.uk # Trending What’s caught our eye in the news this month Doll Power Mattel, the maker of the everpopular Barbie, has announced the new ‘Inspiring Women’ Barbie collection.
