We’re glad you enjoyed the fashion round-up and the wedding feature. Your responses opened our eyes to how many of you look forward to reading the magazine. So, we have started an Instagram page so you get regular updates on what our team is up to. Follow us on @woman_this_month to catch up on our likes, dislikes and opinions. That’s not all! We’re throwing in a contest so you can win exciting prizes from some of the best restaurants in the Kingdom. (Refer to page 52 for details.) In the May issue, we join the battle against the heat. Find out how to look stylish without compromising on comfort in Fernanda’s fashion and beauty pages. We also give you tips on what to add and delete from your diet plan. Our wellbeing feature showcases advice from experts on how to beat the heat, while our parenting article tackles the insightful topic of learning to let your children go. New parents can have a look at our review on Babble.com and why this website is your new best friend. We speak with award-winning women in Bahrain to understand what it takes to be a success.
