Latte Art
A latte (from the Italian caffelatte, meaning “coffee and milk”) is a type of coffee drink made with hot milk.You know art is everywhere and with the help of your imagination you can create amazing things as you can see below.Well,i never tried this but i really want to do something like these.
I did a quick search how this art is made and i learnt that you have to pour some steamed milk into espresso and just swirl the milk. (WIKIHOW)
At the end of the post you can watch a video of latte art example

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
Whenever you visit any respectful Arab family, friend, or even in a casual meeting, you will be attacked with a cup of Turkish coffee.
It’s a very important ritual in the Arab society, and don’t you dare to refuse it ! It’s a very sacred ritual. If you are a man and you don’t like it, then it degrades the level of your manhood in the society; because it’s really manish to drink and actually love Turkish coffee !
If you are an Arab woman, then you love it anyway, because it is one of the very basic building blocks of any time-wasting chatting session.
So try to love your Turkish Coffee ! you will be drinking it anyway.
Morning without coffee or Fairuz is like sleep click to listen

Quote of the day
You can’t lose what you never had. You can’t keep what’s not yours and you can’t hold onto something that doesn’t want to stay.

Over 60 years of occupation has put the livelihood and culture of Palestinians at serious risk. The vast majority of Palestinians live abroad, a significant number in refugee camps, where conditions are crowded, unstable and frustrating. Among a myriad of other problems they face, many professionals there often find themselves unemployed, living hand to mouth. A certain young Palestinian woman became increasingly distressed by what was happening to her people, and decided to do something about it: thus Palestyle was born.
The company aims to relieve some suffering in the refugee camps by employing women to design and decorate a comprehensive range of fashion. Not only are these embroiderers, seamstresses, pattern cutters and designers well paid for their work, but the founder of the company, 28 year old Zeina Abou Chaaban, donates 5% of her profits to projects run by social organizations supporting Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine itself.
She recently hired Ahmed Abou Chaaban as her Partner and Creative Director. Mr. Chaaban brings several years of fashion industry experience, abundant energy, and a tirelessly positive outlook to Palestyle. “If I have learned one thing in life it’s that the impossible is nothing, especially when working with our amazing refugee women,” he enthused. Although Palestyle is essentially a charity, there is nothing “granola” about its clothing and accessories: only the finest silk, cotton, wool, leather and crystal are used to create stylish tops, bags, shawls, jewellery and belts, and the high prices of the goods reflect the craftsmanship and quality.
Yet, the elephant in the room is still there: no matter how many purses are sold, no matter how many shawls are bought, Palestine is still an occupied territory, and its people are essentially stateless. Saod, a Palestyle embroider summed up the sentiments of many when she said: “I constantly dream of returning to my homeland, my olive trees, my people. Sometimes I feel there is nothing I can do, but now [with this job], I am fighting with my needle and thread.”
