4 March 2015 www.womanthismonth.com After being part of the Woman This Month team for two years (and a couple of months) as fashion and beauty editor, from March onwards I step up to the editor’s desk (wish me luck!). The new position came as a joyful gift to celebrate this International Women’s Day. A big clap for all of us! Continuing the celebratory moment, we’ve prepared new pages for you! We have Ghada Salem from Mums in Bahrain writing regularly for us in our Parenting section (thank you Ghada for accepting the invitation!). We also have a new kids’ page in the same section with novelties and products for the little ones. Our Lifestyle section has two new pages complementing Home and Travel. The first brings a selection of must-have items and the second, five incredible escapes. I have great news for our food loving readers, our WTM Cookbook is out! And best of all? The signature dishes prepared by the fine chefs on the island (that you love so much and can’t get enough of) can be made in your own kitchen to impress your friends and family. Check out the yummy recipes! WTM supports any empowering women initiative and our interviewees are a perfect example of success in different areas of theirs lives. Our editorial director, Liz O’Reilly, spoke to Aziza Salman, the beautiful TV presenter who features on our cover. She also spoke to the lovely Irish colleen who won the Bahrain Rose competition and I had a nice chat with Roaya Saleh about her Villa Mamas restaurant. And last, but not least, our Shopping Feature brings an amazing selection of outlets that you must check next time you decide to invest in a new item or just get spoiled! Enjoy!

It may sound crazy (I know the weather on the island can get really harsh and I’ll probably be complaining about the heat in a couple of months), but I’m a summertime girl, so I’m definitely looking forward to it. These are some items from the spring and summer collections that I fell in love with! Tod's Kenzo Mango
