Sheikha Speaks Dear Lulua Team, This month has been very good for our lovely publications. They have started and, rightly so, to be recognised by many many people. The readership has increased many folds and we have many loyal followers in all our online media platforms. I put a picture of me holding both Good Health Arabia and V&TA and the number of comments praising our magazines filled my heart with joy. Thank you all for all your hard work and efforts to make a difference in the Arab world. The fruits of your labour has started to ripen and it is time to reap what was sowed.
Congratulations all This month at Alnowair we are all about mindfulness of colours, and as you can see both our titles are befitting this month's theme. Enjoy looking at the wonderful colours of life today and everyday. Have a wonderful colourful beautiful day

It was an amazing Saturday afternoon, as the entire Lulua team gathered at Sheikha’s residence "Mitha", where a host of fun activities were waiting for them. They rode camels, danced under the open sky to pulsating music, which was followed by delicious lunch. The fun continued with more dancing and the team ended the the fun day by digging up fresh potatoes right from the garden.

Wreck This App With Wreck This App, you'll tap into your creative side in an entirely new way: by exploring your best mess-making and destructive abilities. Guided by more than 50 prompts and using a spectrum of drawing tools, you can tap “holes” through the screen, “Drip” different inks, and then smear them all together, deface your least favorite picture of yourself, scribble furiously, color outside of the lines! And when you’ve wrecked your app, you can post evidence of your creative destruction on Facebook or Flickr!
Think Over Keep food on your desk. Glucose help your brain focus. Turn off the phone. Most phone calls are not urgent. Get a good chair. There is a reason- bosses don’t seat on cheap chairs. Time yourself and see how much you did in 1 hour. Shut off everything that you are not really using. Clear your desk completely. Put on headphones. Classical music or no music is best for focusing. Make a list. Make it short. Reward yourself. If you get focused, be proud of yourself. Frame a picture of your goal. And look at it every morning before work. Bring your pet with you. They help you focus
This is how investors recognize successful startups early on: Good Team, Market Opportunity, Product. Many will tell you that to do a startup you need to be a developer or get capital right away. Tune out these people. Those things are just noise that prevents others from focusing on what will make your startup survive. There is 3 key components, that we know investors use. We recently heard Jeff Clavier and Marc Andreessen say it again. The way they tell a successful startup early on is by looking whether the startup has those 3 things: Good Team, Market Opportunity, Product.
