www.womanthismonth.com August 2016 6 As we send this month’s magazine to press, we’re all enjoying the long Eid weekend and looking forward to our summer break. To get you in the mood we’ve got pages of fabulous summer fashion, including celebrity styles to steal, and a special beauty feature in which we meet the region’s favourite bloggers, scout out the latest beauty treatments (one of which is actually pretty scary) and come up with a bunch of products to help you save the environment at the same time as saving your skin. Our interviewees this month are a trio of truly inspiring women. Actress Jacqueline Fernandez tells us why she’s involved with Project Everyone which is remaking the Spice Girls’ Wannabe video to tell world leaders what women really, really want in order to achieve the UN’s Global Goals. We catch up with Laura Jefferson, the woman behind the Female Expats in Bahrain Facebook page, which gained hundreds of members in its first month. And game designer Noof Abdulla talks about representing Bahrain at the world finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup. In the wellbeing section, endodontist Dr Komal Sharma looks as some common oral problems and how to deal with them and we have tips on how to shift the holiday kilos. As the temperatures reach boiling point, our thoughts turn to escaping the desert heat and, in this month’s travel section, Puja Tiwari takes us to the frozen North to see the sights in Norway, Sweden and Alaska, brrr! And our revamped Parenting section is all about heading Back to School with top tips to make the first day go smoothly, expert advice from both counsellor Lamar Kanafani and Dr Jinan Harith Darwish and a whole host of homework helpers to give your youngsters a welcome boost. From homes to food to things to do, see, try and buy, this month’s issue is packed with loads of info and tips. Hope you enjoy it! chairman & publisher GEORGE F MIDDLETON editorial director LIZ O'REILLY marketing & electronic media director DEEPA SIVA fashion & beauty editor FERNANDA LANGHAMMER contributors APPLE SHARMA BEHNAZ SANJANA PUJA TIWARI DR JINAN DARWISH RAPHAEL LAMAR KANAFANI print production manager SABU SEBASTIAN layout & graphics ROMEO SAN MIGUEL GOPAL NAMBIAR media coordinator SARAH ANSARI media managers FARHEEN AHMED PEARLYN D MEHTA circulation KADAMBARI S photography editor MONA ABDUL JABBAR photographers RANJITH MOHAN SUBEESH KUMAR NS printing press UNION PRESS, BAHRAIN Contents copyrighted 2016© Reproduction in whole or in part by any means without the express written consent of the publisher is prohibited.
