Celebrating Four Years of Excellence: A Heartfelt Thank You to Our LLQ Lifestyle Family
Festivity is in the air as we celebrate the season. Amidst the vibrant hues and festive aura of Qatar, where every day is imbued with a sense of optimism and celebration, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. It is with pride and a heart full of thanks that I welcome you to this special edition of LLQ Lifestyle magazine.

A term that is often confused with financial values and or material possessions that an individual or a collective of people own.
Your self-worth is not determined by the people you surround yourself with nor is it determined by the colour of your skin , nationality and or religion. Though these elements are at times leaned into for benefits and advantages that advances the process that benefits an Individual or collective of persons that benefits equally in a selected environment.
Self-worth refers to the value and importance that we place on ourselves as individuals. It is how we perceive and assess our own worth, both in our own eyes and in relation to others which also closely linked to self-esteem and self-confidence. It is the belief and recognition of our own inherent value, regardless of external factors such as achievements, appearance, or opinions of others.
established in Dubai since 2006.
Lee Levy Dubai Life Coach Self-worth A Gift We Give Ourselves
In saying this, recently I was blessed to be invited to an Award Ceremony here in Doha | Qatar. The evening was riveting with class, elegance and sophistication in both people, the dress codes, foods, decor and the atmosphere precision and accuracy of the awards nominations.
One has to wonder the amount of energy and grit it took the Event Director who is also Editor in Chief Mr Elias Haddad, so congrats on an evening of splendor.
Alhamdulilah, unexpectedly I was awarded Qatar Life Coach of The Year Award which was by Editor Choice. This was after I withdrew as a nominee earlier in the nomination and voting processes. It’s actually unethical for any Medical Practitioner to participate in any awards competition.
In saying the above and considering I was not part of any voting process, I graciously and with great humility accepted.
To be clear, developing a healthy sense of self-worth is important for several reasons:
Our Positive self-perception:
When we have a healthy sense of self-worth, we have a positive self-perception. We believe in our own abilities and strengths, which allows us to take on challenges and pursue our goals with confidence.
Self-Emotional well-being:
Having a healthy sense of self-worth contributes to our emotional well-being. It assists in building resilience and coping with setbacks. We are less likely to be affected by negative criticism or judgment from others because we have a strong foundation of self-belief.
An abundance of healthy relationships:
Self-worth influences the quality of our relationships with others. When we have a healthy sense of self-worth, we are less likely to seek validation and approval from others. This allows us to establish and maintain healthy boundaries, communicate assertively, and engage in mutually respectful relationships.
Consistency at decision-making and assertiveness:
A healthy sense of self-worth empowers us to make decisions that align with our values and desires. We are more likely to advocate for ourselves, express our needs, and assert our boundaries in various situations.
Satisfied Overall life satisfaction: Developing a healthy sense of self-worth contributes to our overall life satisfaction. When we value ourselves and recognize our worth, we are more likely to engage in self-care, pursue meaningful goals, and cultivate a positive mindset.
In summary, developing a healthy sense of self-worth is important for our emotional well-being, relationships, decision-making, and overall life satisfaction. It allows us to navigate life with confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose at life to win and strive.
Though the winners of the rest of the evening were awarded based on a voting system conducted by the public. During the evening, there were a substantial amount of chatter about the evening being an Arab only event with 95% awards going to Arabs.
This I vehemently disagreed with and brings to question the theory of self-worth. One self-worth is not dependent on the opinions and values others find in us, it’s designed by the amount of love within ourselves for the persons we are and developing into.
And when you take that self-worth into a competing environment to compete whether it’s sports, events, career progressions and or industry recognition, you have to actively market, promote and brand yourself in a manner that you can receive the recognition of a nomination. You could also nominate yourself as indication of your self-confidence and this will be seen and acknowledged by your industry, followers and supporters. Effort reflects interest
When you do nothing,
nothing successful will ever happen in your lives. We do live in a society where individuals believe they are entitled to benefits and rewards based on religion, nationality, perceived status, job titles etc.
Release these illusions and focus with all your intelligence on finding greater reasons to love yourselves greater and deeper without a sense of entitlement. Work more on healing your childhood traumas that were created with the mindset of I am better than you because I say so and not supported by any other facts or truths.
Belief we should not compete to diminish any other, we should compete to complete one another which actually increases and environment of healthy sense of self-worth.
A healthy sense of self-worth influences our decision-making and assertiveness in the following ways:
Clarity of values and priorities:
When we have a healthy sense of self-worth, we have a clearer understanding of our values, priorities, and what truly matters to us. This clarity helps us make decisions that align with our authentic selves and what we believe in. We are less likely to be swayed by external pressures or seek validation from others when making important choices.
Confidence in decision-making: Having a healthy sense of selfworth boosts our confidence in decision-making. We trust ourselves and our judgment, which allows us to make choices without excessive self-doubt or fear of judgment. We are more likely to take calculated risks, pursue opportunities, and trust in our ability to handle the outcomes of our decisions.
Assertiveness in communication:
A healthy sense of selfworth enables us to assert ourselves effectively in various situations. We are more likely to express our desire, opinions, and boundaries assertively and respectfully. We value our own voice and believe that our thoughts and feelings are valid, which empowers us to communicate confidently and stand up for ourselves when necessary.
Boundary-setting:
Developing a healthy sense of self-worth helps us establish and maintain healthy boundaries in our relationships and interactions. We recognize our own worth and value, and we understand that it is essential to protect our well-being. This enables us to say no when needed & set limits on how others treat us.
Resilience in the face of challenges:
A healthy sense of self-worth provides us with the resilience to face challenges and setbacks. We believe in our own abilities and worth, which allows us to persevere and bounce back from difficult situations. This resilience assists in making decisions that may involve taking risks or stepping out of our comfort zones, knowing that we have the strength and worthiness to handle whatever comes our way. Also positively influences our decision-making by providing clarity, confidence, and the ability to assert ourselves. It allows us to make choices that align with our values and prioritize our well-being, leading to more authentic and fulfilling lives.

LLQ- SUMMER MAKEUP TREND FORECAST ‘24/ TOP 8 SUMMER MAKEUP TRENDS
As a professional makeup artist and beauty advisor, Nabilah Harron enjoys and always researching the latest seasonal beauty and makeup trends. With summer upon us, the heat and humidity need to be taken into consideration when choosing and applying makeup while still keeping up with the everchanging beauty trends.
With many people travelling or planning their summer vacations, it can get very confusing which essential makeup products to pack in for your trip, while still staying on tend at the same time. To make it easier for you, I’ve scoured the internet, red carpet appearances, the latest fashion weeks, and viral online sensations to compile a list of my top 8 Makeup Trends you may want to consider trying out this summer.
1. Subtle Base/ Pearl Skin
This summer there is an emphasis on healthy, effortless glowing skin. Full coverage, matte foundations are being replaced by lightweight formulas and textures that still provide light to medium coverage and gives a secondskin lit-from within effect. 2-in-1 concealer and
foundations infused with skincare benefits will be a popular choice this summer. Used only where necessary to spot conceal blemishes and used under the eyes for brightening.
2. Refined Contouring
With foundation becoming more lightweight and ‘barely there’ this summer, precise contouring will bring shape and structure back to your face. Applied just under the cheekbones, temples, top of the forehead if necessary, sides of the nose and along the jawline. I prefer using a cooler toned cream based contour stick as it melts into the skin to give a more natural appearance. After blending any harsh edges with a beauty blender or foundation brush, I set the cream contour in place with a slightly warmer toned bronzing powder.
3. Sunset blush
The most popular makeup trend online that seems to be universally popular this summer is blusher. Shades of orange, ‘peach fuzz’ a light coral toned shade, and baby doll pinks applied in a soft gradient on the apples of the cheeks and blended along the cheekbones to create an orange/ pink gradient.
Multi-purpose cream colour sticks in orange, terracotta and pink that can be used on the lips, eyes and cheeks, and airy liquid blushers will be a handbag staple this summer.
4. Wet Look highlighting
The full faced glossy/ skin glow look of last summer has been replaced with highlighting only where necessary and where the sun would naturally highlight your face. Liquid highlighters or highlighting balms worn on its own, or layered underneath tinted and holographic powder highlighters
to give the ultimate glow on the high points of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupids bow, and inner corners of the eyes.
5. Glossy Lips
Tinted lip oils and glossy lipstick balms were very popular on the runways and online. Worn alone or with a brown, honey, or pinkish toned lipliner, it gives the lips a modern 90’s edge. Soft matte neutral lips will still be popular, but tinted glossy lips will reign supreme this summer.
6. Clean and Natural Brows
Over filled dark brows are out, and full, shaped natural brows are in. Keep them neat and tidy this summer by brushing them upwards and slightly outwards with a clear or tinted eye brow gel to create a natural brow lift effect.
7. Monochromatic
Single toned colour palletes have become increasing popular with online viral trends such as the ‘strawberry and cherry girl’ makeup looks. Dewy, light berry tones are used on the the eyes, lips and cheeks to create a healthy flushed look. 1 colour mood with a shift in tonal opacity between the lips and the face are the trend this summer. The 90’s monochromatic colour pallete trend of neutral shades such as taupes and earthy matte tones will also remain popular throughout this summer.
8. Pop of colour
With the minimal makeup trend taking over this summer, colour mascara or eyeliner are a great way to emphasize your eyes, and particularly a fun look to try while on your summer vacation. Blue toned mascara or eyeliner would look great on brown or blue eyes and violet shades would make green and hazel eyes pop.

Reflections on the LLQ Lifestyle Choice Awards 2024

Achieving milestones, overcoming challenges, and seeing our efforts bear fruit are not merely moments of triumph but also reflections of our resilience and dedication. These rewards inspire us to push further, dream bigger, and embrace the journey towards realizing our aspirations.
As I sit down to reflect on the phenomenal success of the LLQ Lifestyle Choice Awards 2024, held on May 27th, at the exquisite JW Marriott Marquis, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude. This event, which brought together Qatar’s foremost lifestyle and hospitality leaders alongside influencers from across the region, was a testament to the power of dedication and passion in achieving excellence. To be honest, for me, this event was more than just a glamorous evening—it was the culmination of months of tireless planning, coordination, and unwavering commitment from our entire team. From the inception of the idea to the final applause of the night, every detail was meticulously crafted to ensure a memorable and impactful experience. The journey to the LLQ Lifestyle Choice Awards 2024 began with a vision to recognize and celebrate excellence in various lifestyle categories that shape our community.
