www.womanthismonth.com 39 June 2013 | Celebrity Lifestyle Everyone wants to know what you’re up to, where you’re going, what you’re eating, who you’re seeing. Who’s to tell you aren’t a celebrity? With the inescapable social media scene today, your life is everybody’s business. People are fascinated by how much you weigh, who you meet, what you wear and just generally like to stay aware of what you do. So why not make the most of it? Give the society reason to envy you. Woman this Month calls out your inner diva. We spend much of our lives wanting to be someone else. It’s why we sift through glossies, it’s why we catch up on gossip, it’s why we do almost anything we do in our spare time. We look at someone and we think: I want her hair, I want her shoes and I want her car. You basically want her life, not realising you are already that person and most probably better. We often forget to give ourselves credit for what we’re great at. We assume luxury is something set aside for another day, another life. Well, you’re wrong. Every now and then even you deserve to be treated like an A-lister and if someone isn’t spoiling you, feel free to pamper yourself. Eat Let’s face it; even the air of Bahrain is fattening. So numb those calorie counting genes in your system at least occasionally. Learn to enjoy the most luxurious thing under the sun — food! Fortunately, the Kingdom is replete with fine dining outlets. You could either hit the 338 dining district in Adliya for a great meal surrounded by works of art and a dose of culture. Zoe, Café Italia, Lanterns, Meisei, Block 338 and Camelot are worth a visit. Seef has a vast selection as well with standalone venues like Bushido, Trader Vic’s and Nino. Considered the ultimate destination for the cream of the crop, Moda Mall houses three noteworthy restaurants: Maki, Abd el Wahab and Bice. Of course, we can’t forget the array of exquisite dining outlets nestled within the fivestar hotels, especially the many speciality restaurants at The Gulf Hotel Bahrain, Sheraton Bahrain Hotel, Kempinski Grand & Ixir Hotel Bahrain City Centre, Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa and InterContinental Regency. Those who have resided in the country for a while are full of praise for the brunches at The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa, Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain, Golden Tulip, Crowne Plaza and The RitzCarlton Bahrain Hotel & Spa. Newer entrants into the fine dining scenario are the restaurants at The Domain Bahrain and Ramee Grand Hotel & Spa. Live To live the high life, you should do just that — live in it! Pack your bags and set out for a weekend of absolute luxury. You don’t even have to leave the city! It’s amazing what three carefree days can do for you. Believe it or not, ‘alone time’ is just as good a therapy. Staying away from all the hustle and bustle of work and family can actually cut out those noises in your head. If spending time alone isn’t your cup of tea, You’re a Star! By Elma Bartholomew
