Oxygen Bar Q8

Oxygen Bars started in Japan in the 1990's and spread to America where their popularity attracted global curiosity about what exactly an oxygen bar is and what it does.

Today Kuwait has its first oxygen bar located in the country's high-end salon,NSTYLE.

The way it works is that useres basically sit on a padded stool  faced with a contraption that looks something like an oversized,multicoloured respirator,and they then insert into their nostrils a personal breathing hose which extends from the bar's oxygen tubes.The bar is built to hold four separate tubes comprised of concentrated oxygen which comes in various flavours. One of the flavours,Tranquility is meant to relax the user's nerves;Zen stimulate the system,Purity cleanses it and Calming, the last choice on the menu is meant to relieve emotional stress.

The use of Oxygen Bar is meant to make clients feel more energized,uplifted and relieved of headaches and other common results of stress manifestation.
My friend who visited it was totally relaxed after using it. Actually she had gone for a hair cut and while waiting for her turn she decided to give it a try. Hope to visit it myself very soon.

Nstyle is located in Al Bustan Complex on Salim AL Mubarak Street in Salmiya. For more info can call 25719050

Weekends in Q8

My weekends here is a mix bag....extremely busy, lot of house work but also with loads of fun, travelling and exploration. Extremely busy with lot of house work as maids dont work for you during this time; it's no-work and rest time for them. So from morning tea to dinner everything you need to do without any help. Apart from the housework is Mehr and she wants more attention when you remain busy with work.

The best thing about Jeet my hubby is that he loves exploring new places. The last two weekends were awfull. Last weekend we tried marketing in the new Lulu Hypermarket that was opened in Qurain area. Just loved it.....so many variety from all over the world. Will write a separate post on this. We visited the Mirror House, a must-visit place in Kuwait. We tried exploring Salmiya. Every time we go to Salmiya with a mind of exploring this area, we see a new face. We had read about Qurain museum and went there. It was our first visit to this area but still Jeet could drive me there without any problem. The museum was close for Ramadan and we took note of the timings and came back.

This weekend we tried marketing in the new Geant supermarket which is opened in Salmiya. Found the first floor to be very crampy but the basement was good. Didnt really enjoy marketing here....not too much variety and also crampy. We visited the Kuwait House of National Works "Memorial Museum" in Kuwait City. The Iraqi invasion is nicely depicted here. As we couldnot visit the Qurain Museum we visited this weekend. Another place which depicts the martyrdom of Kuwaiti people during Iraqi invasion. We also went to Red Palace in Jahra area. This place is in the outskirts of the city and very far from the area we stay. But we enjoyed the drive and the Palace/ Fort which was part of many historic battle. Did some marketing at Mangaf Sultan Center.

Now back to normal housework and tutions till the next weekend!

Thakkar Restaurant, Q8




I was eagerly waiting for the weekend to go to Salmiya. Guess why? I wanted to have chat. And where can you find the perfect Indian taste in Kuwait, other than in Thakkar. It is a very popular fast food vegetarian Indian restaurant in Kuwait.During weekends there is so much rush that you will have to sit in your car or pack and bring home.I could not find a place to sit so decided to pack three varieties of chat and have them leisurely at home. The prices are reasonable and the quantity is satisfying. Next to Thakkar is another Indian fast food restaurant, Amman. The restaurants are in the Essa Al Katami Street, Salmiya.
