Do you want to speak to someone?
We all go through hard times in life and sometimes we feel like there's no solution in sight and no one to turn to. But we don't have to face our demons on our own. Sometimes, just talking to someone you trust can help. But there are times when a licensed therapist or a counsellor is needed. Below are three different platforms where you can find professionals to talk to. Some are free, some aren't. Check them out. You owe it to yourself to be happy and mentally healthy.

Speak English with Natives!
There's this really cool phone app called 'CAMBLY' which allows users to practice and improve their spoken English. You register and they connect you with native speakers of English from different parts of the world.
You can try it for free first but then you pay if you wish to continue. I saw the app in action (one of my students had it on her phone) and all I can say is WOW! It's unique, educational, fun and you get to speak to real people any time you wish. Check it out [here]

Why You Should Buy A Kindle
If you are a book-lover like me, then I strongly recommend you buy a Kindle Paperwhite. A Kindle is an electronic device built specifically for reading. Unlike other tablets, you can look at the screen for hours without hurting your eyes thanks to the e-ink technology in it that makes it similar to reading a physical book. It will change your life, seriously. It's the one item I always have on me (with my wallet and phone). Wherever I go, you will find my Kindle on me.
Some of the reasons that make it such a wonderful device are the following:
+ Device is small, compact and lightweight (perfect for travelling)
+ Electronic ink display (read for hours without causing eyestrain)
+ Built in light (read comfortably at night)
+ Stores over 1400 books (2GB version)
+ Built in dictionary
+ Read in English and Arabic
+ Supports PDF & DOC formats
+ eBooks are cheaper (lots of free eBooks available online as well)
+ Allows you to highlight your favorite sentences/passages
+ Allows you to write notes on your eBook
+ Long battery life (I charge my device once every month)
+ Reasonably priced (30KD straight to your door from Xcite)
