The Black and White

The challenge: How to look chic in an instant?

Everyone should have a blazer in his/her closet. It completes the look and make it look chic in an instant. 

The look below is very basic. It consists of only two shades which undoubtedly are the perfect combination and you wouldn't go wrong with it.

I hope you like this look guys!

Redemption of a Taurus

Challenge: How to make a colored necklace stand-out

Its been a long time since my last photoshoot that is because as you all know, the weather in the kingdom can be very hot and humid at the same time. 

There have been many things that happened to my life this whole summer and I'm thankful that I've passed through all of them ( resignation from work, recent break-up from a relation and adjusting to my new work) which I think is the very nature of a Taurus man. I want this look to be atleast expressive of my character being a Taurus (my Zodiac sign) that's why I chose this necklace which has a seemingly skull of a bull pendant. Being strong in times of adversity and determined with our goals aside from notably being materialistic are only few of our remarkable personalities. 

About the look: The necklace has a tinge of turquoise which I thought would be best to pair it on a completely contrasting color of shirt. It would be important to consider choosing a plain shirt to get the focus on the necklace. I wore a grey trouser to make the entire look chic.

I hope you like it guys.

The Best Dermatologist in Khobar, Saudi Arabia

The Challenge: To look for the best Dermatologist for a laser treatment

I miss blogging! Its been more than a month now of not being able to at least open my blog as I've been busy looking for a new job and a new home to move into and so many other stuffs (whew!). I'm happy to be back to the travel industry. Working for a new company definitely needs extreme beautification and a new approach to style to start anew and fresh.

I thought of undergoing a laser treatment for the second time around and Botox (yes! you heard it right!) this Eid Holiday. But the question was, where? I had my first laser treatment (Fraxel) with Dossary Hospital in Khobar. It was affordable at the cost of SR 500/session but the result wasn't what I expected it to be.

I've been very prone to having pimples and acne since high school and had breakouts in my first year in the kingdom. With so many dermatologists I have visited, only Elite Derma Care at Layla Onaizi Polyclinic was able to treat it. I may be enjoying a life of being pimple free after the treatment but I continue to struggle being conscious with the way I look with my acne scars. So this is when I decided to go through laser skin resurfacing.

For those who doesn't know, laser skin resurfacing also known as laser peel or laser vaporization and lasabrasion reduces and improves the appearance of wrinkles, scars and blemishes using beams of lights and Elite Derma Care, Layla Onaizi Polyclinic is definitely the place to go if you want to undergo such kind of treatment with their reputed resident dermatologist Dr. Saad Al Sogair.

There is more to this good looks (hehe! cant help it). Consultant Dermatologist, Dr. Saad Al Sogair,
 a Board certified Dermatologist and active speaking member of multiple international Aesthetic and Anti Aging societies and academies. Including the Saudi Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery, the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and the American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine. Dr. Sogair has quickly established himself as an expert in Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine and he is especially knowledgeable about Anti Aging practices and Preventative Medicine. 

Since obtaining his M.B.B.S. in 2003 he has attended over 20 training courses throughout Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Lebanon and as far away as the U.K., South Korea and the United States. These courses have covered every aspect of modern Dermatology including facial rejuvenation procedures, laser treatments, aesthetic dermatology and hair transplant procedures. In addition, he is viewed as a leading expert in the field of Dermatology and has been asked to speak and present at seminars and conferences throughout the world.

Dr. Sogair specializes in a wide variety of Dermatological practice areas including skin rejuvenation, laser resurfacing, BOTOX injections, soft tissue augmentation, skin peels, body contouring, acne treatment, hair removal, tattoo removal and the treatment of pigmented lesions, leg thread veins and vascular lesions as well as hair transplantation.

He takes pride in the quality care provided in his clinic; Elite Derma Care, where he currently resides in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

Here are some photos of the whole process of the Laser Skin Resurfacing.




On the first day, skin is red and swollen. It is advised to put an ice on the treated area. You will be prescribed with antibiotics and some creams.


On the fourth day, skin started to peel. Try to avoid sun exposure as much as possible.


On the fifth day, The old skin is almost gone.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the service.

Neutral Colors for Summer

In Summer, you may either go wild and crazy about wearing colorful bright colors or go neutral. I hope you like this look guys!

What are neautral colors? Neautral colors are colors without colors. They appear to be calm. According to About.com, neutral colors such as black, gray, and white appear to be without color. For example, gray can be worn with a larger number of colors than, say, green. Also neutral colors are often composed of two other neutral colors—gray is made up of black and white. Brown is a color that is often considered a neutral in fashion that isn’t made up of shades of black or white. Brown is often mixed with white to create neutral colors such as beige. So when you think of a neutral, thing of hues that can match at least 10 different colors from across the color spectrum . . .

A Day in Jubail, Saudi Arabia

It was weekend and my friend from work and I were simply seeking for a new place to go out to and we often hear about Jubail so we were curious to check it out and see what's in store for us over there. The city is around 78 kilometers away from Dammam, approximately an hour of travel by car.

Jubail is a city in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. It is largest industrical city in the Middle East. It comprises the old town of Al Jubail and the new Industrial Area.

The beautiful old city of Al Jubail greeted us  with taxi drivers calling for passengers to Dammam/Khobar including us who just stepped down from the car hehe!

The trip almost got spoiled when I found out that my DSLR was not charged so I was challenged to take nice photos using my Samsung Galaxy Note II and I was happy to see that the shots weren't so bad at all.

Here are some photos. Hope you like it guys!


I decided to go all black for this little trip to Jubail. Channeling a simple rock n' roll look.




Streets in Al Jubail.

This is the most exciting part of our trip. Riding on a boat and watching the sun set.
