BEAUTY | news THE MYSTERY OF AMOUAGE’S ROSE INCENSE Amouage is bringing another passion-fueled creation to perfume devotees worldwide. Rose Incense, which was previously available exclusively at Selfridges (UK), is now on the shelves at select Amouage boutiques around the world as well as on www.amouage.com. Inspired by the dramatic storytelling of Citizen Kane’s unsolved ‘Rosebud’ mystery, the fragrance skillfully combines soft rose and powerful incense to echo life’s most vivid and celebrated experiences.

Rose Incense is distinctively floral and unmistakably woody with unique and contemporary elements. With Rose at its heart along with Myrrh and Frankincense at its base, the fragrance evokes a complicated tale of epic proportion. The fresh, clean and citrusy undertones of its top note Elemi, bring the fragrance together with serenity. Available in 50ml Eau De Parfum, Rose Incense is housed in compact and contemporary luxurious livery inspired by the shape of a small book.

Available in Bahrain for BD 92.

With Les Épures de Parfum, Cartier is celebrating the original resonance and beauty of living nature with each fragrance capturing the trues essence of magnolia, citrus and lily, respectively.

THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

It is said that ‘Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder,’ but few can epitomise this saying as well as renowned Bahraini photographer, Sawsan Taher. Being enchanted by the world of photography and human emotions, Ms. Taher has travelled around the world – to the high mountains, secluded tribal villages and spaces in between to capture beautiful images of her awe-inspiring subjects. Woman This Month’s Farah Baig caught up with her to find out where her love for photography stems from, her most memorable photography experience and more.

Y

our pictures have quite the story to tell, but could you start by telling our readers a bit about yourself?

Sawsan Taher

I hold a Master’s degree in General Management and work as an IT Specialist at Shaikha Hessa Girls’ School. However, I am an avid photographer and have loved photography since I was a child. I pursued professional photography in 2012 and now hold the title of Excellence FIAP Gold (EFIAP/G) from the International Federation of Photographic Art, and Crown 2 title from the Global Photographic Union (GPU).

I have also participated in several local and international exhibitions and have been a member of the Bahrain Photography Club since 2014. I have been competing since 2013, with my first participation in an international competition being back in December 2014, having since won numerous awards and accolades. I’ve also held a solo photo exhibition entitled ‘Incredible India’ at the Indian Embassy complex in Bahrain on July 14, 2018. My photos have also been awarded and exhibited in many countries around the world.

That’s a wonderful journey so far, but what got you interested in photography in the first place?

www.womanthismonth.com

I grew up in a family that loves cameras and documenting moments and occasions as they are lived. My mother was keen on having a camera ready with the film inside to take pictures at any given moment. It was she who encouraged me and helped me use a camera.

When I was twelve, I borrowed her camera for the first time to photograph my friends at school and, since then, the camera has never left my side.

Aside from being inspired by my mother, my fondness for watching documentaries since my early childhood had a great impact on my future, as everything related to the human race has a great impact on directing my photographic lens. I bought a DSLR camera at the end of 2011, and began working hard to become a professional photographer.

You have visited several places around the world for your photography. Could you tell us a little bit about these experiences?

I have been traveling to capture people’s lives and meet some hidden tribes in remote areas like the Lower Omo Valley in Ethiopia. I’ve visited India a few times, starting with a visit to Leh and Turtuk in the Ladakh District in the Himalayas, located above the altitude of 10,000 September 2020

PEOPLE | interview feet in India. On another journey to India, I visited the Land of Maharajas, Rajasthan, and other areas like Varanasi and Agra. Finally, I visited Rangdum, an isolated region of the Suru Valley of Ladakh, India to meet the Tibetan Buddhist people who live there and also visited Kargil district to meet Muslim communities there.

Another interesting trip was one to South Korea to learn more about their contemporary culture which developed and was inspired by the traditional culture of Korea, while another notable adventure was a trip to Kyrgyzstan - one of the several routes for the Silk Road through the Tianshan and the Pamir-Altai Mountains.

PEOPLE | interview Sawsan’s Photography Trips to date 2013- Oman 2014- Oman 2015- Ethiopia Lower Omo Valley 2015- India (Ladakh & Turtuk) 2016- South Korea 2016- India (Rajasthan, Varanasi, Agra & en route villages) 2017-Saudi Arabia (Taif) 2017- Kyrgyzstan 2018- Liwa Abu Dhabi, UAE 2018- India (Kargil & Rangdum) 2019- Saudi Arabia (Qatif) Incredible! Is there a specific place you wish to visit and photograph?

Photography is my passion and I love adventure and exploration; therefore, I hope I get the opportunity to travel to different countries and be able to reach some of the remote areas and learn more about the people and their cultures. My dream is to visit Somalia and Yemen, mainly Socotra and Sana’a, among other areas I was planning to visit in 2020.

These trips sadly got canceled due to the outbreak of COVID-19 around the world.

www.womanthismonth.com

How would you describe your photographs?

I capture moments as I see them and love to show people’s emotions in their environment.

I seek spontaneous and honest feelings as I believe that every image has a story and a message to tell. We live in a small world and have to understand and respect things that are different and unfamiliar to us as it not necessary that they are then mistakes or flaws. We can learn from different people and cultures in accordance with our religion, customs and traditions. Humanity is the image with which I want to reach the world away

from religious or ethnic fanaticism. I hope I can speak to people’s heart to inform and educate them with my photography.

Your photography seems to be largely based on capturing human emotion, but what would you consider your favourite subjects?

I like Street, People, Portrait, Travel and Macro photography. Photographing people's lives is closest to my heart, as I get to talk to them before I take a photo. I am often affected by people and their lives, there is so much to learn from them.

PEOPLE | interview

Which is the most memorable photography experience you have had?

I have lived through some unforgettable moments during some of my trips, but the one that touched my heart and soul the most is the time I met a Mursi tribe woman in 2015 when I visited the Omo Valley in Ethiopia.

When I visited the Musri tribe, who are known to be the most aggressive people in the Lower Omo Valley, I walked around to understand their lifestyle. I saw a little boy standing near a hut, made mostly from mud and branches, with a curious smile. When I approached the little boy, he ran into the hut, so I peeked from what supposed to be a door and saw a woman breastfeeding her child. The woman glanced at me and looked so incredibly exhausted she broke my heart.

With a smile and sign language I asked if I could enter the hut and she nodded in

September 2020

agreement. I literally had to crawl on my knees to enter the hut which was likely less than 2x2 meters with a small window; I stood looking at everything in that little place that they called ‘home’. There was animal skin on the floor, some branches for making fire, a big bowl with milk and flies all around it, a pot for cooking and some remaining sorghum. In one of the corners, there was a bottle which I assumed was water since the water they drink is usually mixed with mud. There was also a calf, which I later found out stayed in the hut, especially at night, for protection.

down looking at this woman who chose to live an impossibly difficult life and couldn't stop myself from crying. I guess she probably thought I was a crazy person, sitting there in her house, looking at everything and crying. I still don't know if I empathise or envy the simplicity of their life. As time was running out, I had to pull myself together to take some shots and again I used basic sign language to make her understand I would need her to cover up so I could take a photo.

They live naked and proud and usually get offended if they are asked to cover up.

The place smelled so bad I could not catch a breath, and couldn’t help by wonder “How on earth do they live like that?”. I was overwhelmed with different feelings; I sat

www.womanthismonth.com

PEOPLE | interview Are you involved with any photography groups or associations in Bahrain or around the world? Tell us about the role you play.

I am a member in Bahrain photography club since 2014 and by end of 2018 I became a member in the club board of directors.

Internationally, am a member in the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP), and member in the Global Photographic Union (GPU) You mentioned your solo exhibition which was held at the Indian embassy. Has your work ever been showcased in any other exhibitions? Tell us about this experience.

Look Effortlessly Luscious with these 7 Tips!

Protecting your skin and getting that healthy glow can be tricky especially after a harsh summer and winter just around the corner. The constant change in temperatures, exposure to dust and UV rays can cause damage and make your skin lackluster. Fret not, though, because we have the best skincare solutions which will have you looking good all year round.

ADOPT A BEDSIDE SKINCARE REGIMEN

Too often we forget or avoid putting on a protective night cream or having a night skincare routine altogether just because we want to hit the sack quick. To make matters worse, we might even leave our makeup on overnight. It’s important to remember that a proper routine at night could be the key to having glowing skin. A night care routine allows your skin to rejuvenate and breathe. One of our pro-tips is to leave your skincare items on your bedside, possibly placing them in a pouch. This could include a night moisturizer, a lip balm and essential oils. This would be convenient enough for you to work on your skincare routine even after you’ve crawled into bed.

September 2020

ADD SKIN SAVERS TO YOUR DIET

Adding almonds, which is a good source of Vitamin E, to your breakfast could improve your complexion considerably. They also contain Omega 3s and reduce inflammation, which in turn prevents blotches and fine lines while promoting elasticity. Other skin saving foods include salmon, tuna and mixed berries.

Remember to also hydrate and drink plenty of water during the rest of the day to plump and moisture your skin from the inside out.

www.womanthismonth.com

BEAUTY | tips

CLEAR UP YOUR PORES AND DEAD SKIN REGULARLY

Bubbling clay masks have been all the rage lately and it’s for a good reason. These masks are said to draw out dirt and excess oils from deep within your pores.

Alternatively, you can occasionally steam your skin to release toxins and use a toner to gently clean your skin.

To get rid of dead skin on your lips, face and neck, use a gently exfoliator.

This will prevent flakiness and the buildup of dull, lifeless skin.

LOAD UP ON VITAMIN C

A detox can do wonders for your skin and one of the easiest ways of doing this is by consuming citrus fruit.

Lemon supports your liver and kidneys and there’s a clear connection between healthy organs and healthy skin. Other foods that are rich in vitamin c are grapefruit, oranges, papaya and bell peppers.

GO BARE

The best way to get your skin in its best shape is to wear less makeup or none at all. This will allow your skin to breathe and prevent the clogging of pores. We know it’s not always easy to go for a completely bare face, but you could opt for just the essentials on days when you don’t feel the need to apply a full face of makeup. Our essentials are mascara, a dab of concealer and a protective lipbalm with SPF.

MASSAGE IN YOUR MOISTURIZER

One of the best things that you can do for your skin is regularly massage it. We’re not talking about a quick 10 seconds of aggressively rubbing in creams and lotions, but rather giving your skin a gently massage in soothing circular motions and with just a gentle pressure. This simple trick will improve your blood circulation and keep your skin glowing.

GET SOME REST

“You look tired.” We’ve all heard it, and frankly while it can be frustrating at times it is often the truth. A look of sleep can result in puffiness and eyebags while preventing your skin from repairing and rejuvenating itself. Make sure you get seven to eight hours of sleep and you’re sure to get rid of puffiness and unde- eye bags.

Sleep offers your skin a solution that no magic potion can!

Books to the Rescue

By Ouiam Charkani El Hassani

his summer has probably been your longest ever, especially if you haven’t left your house, except for those very few and very precious trips to the supermarket. Your summer plans were probably all ruined, because of you know who (Thank you, Corona!) and you are probably wishing you lived on a tropical island, instead of an island in the middle of the desert. It would have been all easy and doable, except you have a little rascal, who is running around exhausting every ounce of patience you have, opening every drawer there is, making gigantic forts in your living room -not that you are expecting to host anyone right now.

After a good 6 months of depleting your creativity looking for ways to entertain that wild child, you are now battling boredom with nothing but a fragile prayer to the almighty, to get you out of your misery and bring bedtime a tad earlier.

Well your prayer may have been answered today! Nothing says goodbye to boredom, like a good book, not for you though, but for that wild child of yours.

Other than fighting boredom, books will give your kids’ brain a gentle wake-up call after this very long break. There has been chitchats in the kids’ psychology world, that kids’ brains are suffering greatly from what they have been experiencing lately, from quarantine, to social-distancing and online learning. So, sneaking in some reading material could be the best thing you do for your child right now.

(yours, not your child’s). Such a beautiful read. The story of a girl who develops a beautiful relationship, with the animals of the barn, and then you start watching their friendship unfold.

Here are some of the best chapter books, that could add so much value to your days.

These books are suitable for kids aged from 6-9 years old.

The Mouse and The Motorcycle, by Beverly Cleary: Another interesting series, filled with exciting adventures of a very particular mouse, while he takes us on his journey of self-discovery and courage.

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll: Obviously we can’t talk about literature without mentioning Lewis Carroll. Everyone knows the story thanks to Disneyland, but reading Alice’s adventures in the book, takes you to another world -literally! The book is pure joy, you and your child will enjoy it greatly. You can either have it on paper, on kindle, or just get it as an audiobook.

Adventures with Waffle, by Maria Parr: This book is perfect as a summer read, as it talks about beautiful Danish summers, and the adventures of a young boy and his friend.

So much to enjoy once you dive in.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum: This wonderful book is a must read.

Beautiful language full of new and enticing words. There are plenty of lessons in the book to learn too, from the real meaning of courage, and kindness, to the true meaning of friendship.

Charlotte’s Web, by E. B. White: I must warn you, there might be tears involved

16

July 2020

The Geronimo Stilton series, by the Italian author Elizabetta Dami: Very funny and witty. A wise mouse and his entertaining adventures, takes you all over Mouse city.

Dog Diaries, by Steven Butlerand & James Patterson: I must say this is the funniest book ever! You will hear your child giggle throughout your reading sessions. A very funny dog living his best dog life.
