www.womanthismonth.com 77 August 2014 Whether it’s fun and games for the kids or a business enterprise, Riyadat is a family destination for every weekend this month. The mall introduced children to the tradition of a Ramadan evening during the first weekend with traditional decor in the lobby and free games, such as dominos, beta cards, Bahraini monopoly and Uno. Fun Packed Evenings Spend an evening with fun and games or test your hand at entrepreneurship at the Ramadan weekend market at Riyadat. showcase On the second weekend, young traders set up stalls in the lobby to sell homemade lemonade, cupcakes, crafts, greeting cards and paintings. It was also devoted to the Gergaoon, the tradition of children going around in groups collecting candy, fruits and sweets from the tenants. “Not many malls have hosted Gergaoon, which is a Ramadan tradition unique to Bahrain. With the kids' market, we're trying to encourage the spirit of entrepreneurship among children from a young age and plant a seed for the future,” says Shatha Al Jamaha, senior manager at Bahrain Development Bank, which owns Riyadat in collaboration with the Supreme Council for Women (SCW). Not forgetting the mothers, the third weekend at Riyadat was dedicated to a women’s market in the lobby, where female entrepreneurs were encouraged to put up stalls and sell their creations. Locally designed jalabiyas, abayas, cosmetics, accessories and costume jewellery went on sale at these stalls. “With active participation from women and children in our weekend markets, we expect to make Riyadat a popular family venue and increase the footfall of customers during the rest of the year,” says Shatha.

The key to clear skin, a smooth body and younger looks is easier than most people think. The treatments offered at the centre have no downtime. So a patient can walk in, get the procedure done and then head straight to the mall or to work. For physical shape management, The Royal Aesthetic Centre offers VelaSmooth Pro — a device that reduces cellulite and sucks away stubborn fat. It is the first clinically proven, non-invasive, class II device to receive the FDA clearance for circumferential reduction and cellulite reduction. As over 80 per cent of women, regardless of their weight, have cellulite, this procedure allows you to have the body you dream of. Another procedure for physical perfection is Thermage, which helps to tighten wrinkly or saggy skin, and contours the body. Anyone aiming to look younger without resorting to surgery should opt for this treatment. The greatest advantage is that Thermage is suitable for the face and body, and for any skin tone. Moving towards the face, Fraxel is another effective machine aside from Thermage to achieve wonderful results. Whether a person has sun damage, wrinkles or any other signs of ageing, Fraxel can fix it. The difference is noticeable after three sessions. Of course, the most well-known nonsurgical procedure is Botox. The process has been perfected so that getting an injection is completely safe as long as you’re with the right doctor.
