The centre exclusively offers the Carrier Genetic Test (CGT) – a simple blood test that’s carried out when planning a family to prevent the risk of having a baby with genetic disorders. The CGT is highly recommended to all couples who are attempting a pregnancy by natural or IVF means. # The UAE consumes 18.4 tons of CO2 per capita per year – nearly four times higher than the global average. But the nation is moving away from crude solutions and swapping them for ones of the eco variety. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and UAE vice president, has announced a new energy strategy and USD163 billion of investment in alternative energy over the next three decades. These macro-level changes will gradually transform Dubai. Heads up, dining enthusiasts! We’re giving away two vouchers worth BD25 from Al Areen Palace & Spa’s Rimal and Saffron restaurants.

Your Shout I’m excited to know of the Organicare range of skincare and cosmetics. My skin is very sensitive and doesn’t react well to the harsh ingredients in conventional creams and lotions. Besides, the fact that there’s a woman spearheading organic personal care products, all which are made here in Bahrain, that makes me happier. Also, as Fehmina rightly points out, we consumers of this day and age need to ask questions about what’s in the bottles and boxes we buy. I’m going to gift myself some organic, vegan lipsticks and cheek stains to start off with. Diandra, Adliya. I really appreciate that your magazine is always tuned in with the social times. The June issue was filled with pointers for Ramadan – the best places to go to, what to wear and how to bring the essence of the blessed month in to our homes, as well as fresh ideas for a quick Eid getaway. I also liked that you encourage women to know their wheels and are giving safety on the roads its due. I highly recommend that lady drivers know the basics of their cars, so they don’t end up as absolute damsels in distress in the event of a breakdown. Thank you WTM for being truly local with a global appeal. Amal, Sanad.
