adidas Originals launched its brand-new footwear concept, H3LIUM in December 2011 which is a
structural, protective, lightweight & comfortable athletic lifestyle shoe.
Representing the iconic sportswear label for the street, adidas Originals draws on its rich heritage in sport and
ground-breaking technologies. Elements from historical and current adidas footwear were used to help develop H3LIUM. The sole of the shoe pays homage to the ZX8000, an adidas running
shoe known for its comfort. Techniques from F50 cleat were used to simplify the shoes structure making the model the lighter, while maintaining its structural integrity. As a
result H3LIUM is lightweight, breathable and made with a simple construction that provides comfort and support.
The footwear was inspired by seam sealed wind-wear and tech fabrics, designed to be worn in varying climates and environmental conditions. Taking on an architectural influence, the triangle
pattern design used on the shoe adds structure.

I was invited last week with some other tweeps to the opening of the Chocolate display at the Boulevard
in Four Seasons Hotel, Beirut.
It was like entering the Chocolate Kingdom... There was over 20 types of chocolate to chose from at this display, from chocolate tarts, to truffles and
macaroons, mini eclairs, mini choux, chocolate baba, black forest, and many others...
Four seasons Hotel had also prepared a BIG SURPRISE for us 
We were able to see and taste how their chef does the supreme Hot Chocolate... We also could add several flavours to it which made it
tastier...

I had a dentist visit last Friday and It wasn't so cheerful, I took of one tooth with
stitches 
But thank God I didn't look like a swollen fish, nor I had sever pain
Until after three days, pain hit me and really hard, that's when my sister told me to use
Cinnamon oil that she had brought it with her from SriLanka. I used it, and it was like magic...The pain disappeared right away!
So I searched about this magical effect of Cinammon and it turned out that it does not only taste good, it also contains many health benefits such as: Anti-Clotting and Anti-Microbial actions, Blood Sugar Control, it boosts Brain Function, it's
Calcium and Fiber protect against Heart Disease and improve Colon Health, among other things.
Medicinal Uses of Cinnamon Essential Oil
A few of the many uses of the cinnamon essential oil are as
follows:
-
Cinnamon essential oil
is extremely useful in combating anxiety. Whenever you feel anxious, simply
smell the cinnamon oil for a few seconds. It has a very soothing effect, and it also improves brain functioning. Smelling this oil can also cure nausea and help in preventing vomiting.

Pour a few drops of cinnamon oil in a
glass of warm water and use it as a mouth wash. You will feel very fresh. This will also help to prevent tooth decay as the bacteria present in the mouth are killed by the cinnamon oil. It can

Cinnamon oil has
excellent analgesic properties. Therefore, it finds usage as a pain reliever. For pain in the joints, or even arthritis, pour a few drops of cinnamon oil on a warm compress and press against
the affected area. Repeat the process three to four times. You will get immediate relief from the pain and inflammation.

Benchmark hosted the first open house of 2012 for all its project owners on Thursday January 5, 2012, at the Wadi Hills
Residences, Downtown Beirut. This event was held in one of the beautiful and spacious duplexes, where all home owners were invited to meet and greet their neighbors and the Benchmark development
team. The evening was a social gathering, where the owners were also invited to visit a fully furnished simplex apartment, to visualize and start planning the look and feel of their new
homes.
Benchmark is a visionary developer that considers projects as more than just a product of architectural and engineering
feats. At the core of Benchmark’s philosophy is social responsibility. Benchmark actively seeks to contribute to the improvement of quality of life of the residents in each of its projects. Its
first offering is through Wadi Hills Residences, Benchmark’s first project in Lebanon that provides a luxury gated community covering nearly 8000 square meters of land. Made up of 7 low-rise
apartment buildings, with intensively landscaped gardens, the project offers an outdoor safe environment and exclusive private living in downtown Beirut.
This standout project offers its residents a unique urban community very much represented during the event. Guests
mingled and socialized as they discussed their new homes over canapes & cocktails, and the jazz band on hand accompanied the night with a soothing soulful vibe. The charming setting and the
exquisite design of the apartment combined to deliver a friendly convivial atmosphere, worthy of any real open house for a residential community.
"We felt it was important for Benchmark to introduce itself to all the future residents and owners of Wadi Hills, and
introduce them to their neighbors" stated Zina Dajani, Managing Director of Benchmark Development. "Wadi Hills aims to be a beacon of community living in the real estate sector, allowing people
to live in a luxurious gated residential community, that was designed with inspirational care and developed with the highest standards and quality" added Mr. Bassim Halaby, CEO. "It was also very
pleasant to finally be able to meet everyone and have the owners all say such wonderful things about the project. Wadi Hills promises to be a vibrant community, offering a new lifestyle to its
residents, their friends and family.”
Wadi Hills Residences is a project managed by Benchmark. There are still several apartment sizes available
(250/350/480m2) and our helpful sales team are at your service if you might have any questions. For more information please visit www.wadihills.com

It's getting really cold lately, and the most part of the body that gets affected by the bad weather is THE
HANDS, since they are continuously exposed to the
environment!
I found this Hand and
Nail Balm at the pharmacy by Sebamed.
This ideal care for stressed hands and nails, strengthens nails with keratin and pnathenol, Soothes irritated skin with allantoin and bisabolol.
Sebamed Hand and Nail Balm offers excellent care for sensitive and strained hands. Allantoin supports the skin's
regeneration and smoothes its surface. Bisabolol, the active ingredient from Camomile, alleviates inflammation. Keratin, a natural protein component of the nails and skin sustains their
smoothness, firmness and elasticity, increasing moisture retention.
Sebamed Hand and Nail Balm is adapted to the pH value of 5.5 of the skin and stabilizes its natural barrier function. The
balm is absorbed quickly, leaving no greasy residue and is very economical in use.
Directions for use:
After cleansing the hands thouroughly, massage Sebamed Hand and Nail Balm gently into the skin, paying particular attention to the cuticles.
I try to use it everyday before sleeping, and its giving good resluts, it dries quickly and it doesn't get sticky!
Which cream are you using during winter days? Is it effective?
