Hello my beautiful readers. Ramadan Kareem to all of you! May this holiday bring some more light, love, prosperity, health, wealth, joy and success.

This holy month is all about giving. We live in a world filled with chaos and worries, and now more than ever we need to be kind with one another. If everyone ends up doing a small gesture of kindness every day, I believe the world will become a better place.

In this column I am going to share few amazing things with you.

Everyone that knows me, knows that I never wear flats or sneakers. I was born in my heels. When I was pregnant, I didn’t have a choice but to start wearing sneakers. It was very difficult for me to find sneakers that are chic and comfortable at the same time.

But one day a miracle happened to me: I was in Sweden and I walked by an ultra-luxury shoe store, and in the window, I saw a beautiful pair of simple yet fashionable sneakers. Just to me luck, the owner of the boutique happened to be there, and I immediately felt welcomed.

My miracle, aka the shoe brand, is called Stinaa.J, and the sneakers that I wanted and tried on were the most comfortable shoes ever. I was floating on air! They explained to me that the soles of their shoes rely on materials developed for NASA. The foam that they use is an orthopaedic foam that models after the shape of your feet for maximum comfort.

Peter Hedström is the orthopaedic engineer that created these amazing soles which are only used in Stinaa.J shoes. Their heels are unbelievable: you can wear them for 12 hours straight without feeling any sort of discomfort. This brand is by far every woman’s dream come true.

These shoes are designed to correct your posture and avoid any pain in your knees, feet, hips and back, which means you will not develop any future problem with your back, one of the most common areas of pain for women around the world. 

Stinaa.J does ship to the Middle East and you can visit them on: stinaaj.com

I also wanted to share with you this amazing jewellery brand, Jude Jewels, designed by 10-years-old Jude Adnan and her beautiful mother Josette.

The jewellery pieces are so special, as Jude draws inspiration from her mother and God to create the unique designs. She believes in magic and grew up with a mother that been surrounded by medallions and art.

Gold and precious stones frame the breath-taking hand-painted pieces, and just like the two ladies behind this line, the jewellery is classy and timeless. It is the perfect gift for both mothers and daughters. You can visit their Instagram page: @judejewelslb.

Wishing you all a lovely week ahead filled with love, light and prosperity.

Xoxo
