4 February 2014 www.womanthismonth.com In the February 2014 issue of Woman This Month, there’s something for everyone. Firstly, it’s hard to ignore the SS14 collections that have been seeping into some stores. So for the fashion forward amongst you, Fernanda has highlighted some of the trends to watch out for. She has also three exciting looks put together for the glamorous woman. And if you thought you knew your shoes, think again! Our 10 Tips page should give you a better idea of the must-haves and how to wear them best. We then focus on finding inner peace for the second instalment of our health and wellness campaign. And we’ve got Bhanumati Narasimhan from The Art of Living to lead the way. Behnaz speaks to experts across the Kingdom for a better understanding of meditation and its benefits. Thirdly, we take into consideration those who cannot seem to decide what to do for Valentine’s Day. Whether it’s a weekend getaway that you’re looking for or an intimate dinner at home, we’ve got it covered. Yes, there’s a gift guide too! In our new Ask the Doctor section, an expert from Royal Bahrain Hospital answers our queries about the need for ultrasound scans during pregnancy and its effects. Our home feature will have you painting everything white! In Beauty, we deal with a region that is often neglected — the neck! Happy reading!
