Life is slowly getting back to normal after the complete annihilation of our daily routines that usually happens every year during Ramadan. And even though every year we say we won’t indulge in too many mosalsalat or qatayef and try to stick to an earlier sleep routine, we still fail, but without a single regret! We’re grateful for all the time we spent with loved ones and friends, but we’re also glad that we can now go back to normalcy. For a little while, anyways, because school is winding down and we can see the summer break light at the end of the tunnel.

We were busy all month creating this wonderful issue that we hope will delight you. We played a quick game of Truth or Dare with DJ Naz and learned more about his pivot from the structured world of engineering to turn tables and so much more. We got Up Close and Personal with aspiring astronaut, architect, Imagineer, film maker, and jack of oh-somany trades, Bader Al Moulah to learn more about his latest endeavor to literally reach for the stars. And just because we love a good story that starts in Kuwait, we spoke to Dareen Akkad, who started hers in Kuwait and was inspired by Solo Pizza to open her own Neapolitan Pizzeria in Cairo, What The Crust. And last but definitely not least, we asked Dr. Lujain Albenali, the Head of Dermatology at Kuwait Hospital about how we can practice safe sun exposure this summer as we find ourselves spending more time outdoors (no, we’re not jinxing the good weather!).

We were lucky enough to get behind the wheel of the new Porsche Cayenne to experience the comprehensive changes to the powertrain, chassis, design and equipment. Porsche have given us amazing on-road and off-road performance, and luxurious everyday comfort. Speaking of luxury and comfort, we checked out Waldorf Astoria Spa’s new exclusive membership programs that can help you relax and rejuvenate. The Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya is also ushering in an array of amazing spring experiences with a brand-new lunch Con Vista menu at Italian restaurant Dai Forni and delightful creations for afternoon tea at the magnificent Al Soor Lounge.

And, that’s barely scratching the surface of all the fun features that are just a couple of page flips away.

Happy Reading!
