One of the absolute best things about working in a magazine office is The Conversation. Chewing over the daily news,<br />
the revelations, the empathetic confessions, the sometimes-random beauty and style tips that spill out of meetings are<br />
a daily tradition. I often leave most meetings armed with a list of dieticians, beauticians, restaurants, ice cream parlors<br />
and more, all of which are “a must try” in Cairo. The monthly cover is always the highlight of our meetings. It consumes<br />
my mind every single month. This month’s cover was inspired by a couple of plates that I recently acquired in the U.K.<br />
Coming back home after a blissful holiday I didn’t want to put them away with the rest of my crockery and just laid<br />
them on my kitchen top for a couple of days. They were too beautiful, too colorful a sight and it was a reminder of a<br />
perfect holiday. Do you ever come back from a holiday with a prized object that sums up your trip?<br />
For <strong>June</strong>, the Cairo West team took some time away from the desk to think about the pages of the magazine. Putting<br />
together the <strong>June</strong> issue is a campaign played out on many fronts, with scores of meetings among our team to review<br />
story lineups and contenders. This month we bring to you a Ramadan series listing. We also report on swimming pools,<br />
and how the use of new materials has made it easier to install on, and in many cases, more affordable. And to help you<br />
get the most out of the outdoors, we look into landscaping to see how you can maximize the use of your garden space.<br />
A really big cooking trend this season is everything and anything vegan, we delve into it by looking at recipes, its pros<br />
and cons, and where to buy your fresh produce. We have plenty of thoughts on the topics of looking good and feeling<br />
good this <strong>June</strong>. Natalia Baryshnikova swung by our office to offer her tips for staying fit, while Flow Wellness Centre<br />
showed us baby yoga moves for our little ones. There is so much more to read this issue.<br />
Oh, and one last thing, I hope you all have a lovely <strong>June</strong>.<br />
