FRESH COMEBACK: LOCATION BEIRUT CITY

My Dear Fellow Readers,

Afer opening this blog last year and trying to figure out what is it NEXT that I wanted to explore in my life between my love for travelling, then my love for shopping, then my constant confusion of WHAT is it that makes people happy, then the questions about quitting a job with a good pay but which you don't like, or keeping your job and doing side things that satisfies all your senses, I thought the best was to take a time out to clear all these confusions in my mind and focus on WHAT makes me happy rather HOW to be happy.

The thing is this, I found out to be an outgoing person who loves LIFE, who loves to SHARE, who loves to GIVE, and who loves to do that with people who DESERVE.

After thinking about it, I realized my passion is travelling, meeting new people and culture, explore other people's way of thinking, maybe writing also about my experiences and the places i'm visiting, and above all SHARE whatever experience, news, photos, fashion finds, restaurants, hotels, and others that come across along the way!! To wrap it up, I will be writing about everything and anything :)

Sharing is Caring, Caring is Believing, Believing is Achieving.

Thank you all for reading

MY WISHLIST FOR CHRISTMAS

Since this blog is called "MyPersonalFind" and it starts to share with people things that we love and appreciate in life through OUR Personal finds, lately I have browsing many blogs and looking at their christmas wishes, made me wonder a bit!!!! Well here you can see from the pictures that there is not
better than having PEACE, LOVE and JOY in life... and yeah for this year MY Personal WISH is
a cute little baby girl :) if God allows (of course first I need to find the man to produce one).

Girls and Boys, Rich and Poor, we all need LOVE in our lives... So please let us not forget that not
everything in life is material gifts or really expensive ones, BUT the love of sharing beautiful moments together.
HAPPY SHOPPING EVERYONE.

ROME nostalgia

Good morning world, sometimes it is look to just relax and look at photos that make you feel somewhere else. Even-though Rome is a very hectic city, but I love it. Happy Monday All! Hope you like some roman photos

Le Parfum ELIE SAAB

 ELIE SAAB.... a man of vision and success!!! Who in the world does not know yet ELIE SAAB, the infamous fashion designer. Being a Lebanese born myself, I can not be more proud to see this man gradually climb the stairs to reach stardom. I'm so happy for his success in everything and who embraces fame with glamour and class... Can't imagine that a young man who was my best friend's neighbour and I used to bump him and his sisters on the stairs everytime I visited them, can't believe how famous he is now (but can guarantee you that he's still down to earth and humble). On one of my trips to Rome/Italy he was actually with me on the same plane :) Love his dresses and now adooooooooooooore his new and first fragrance which suits every girl who is romantic and stylish. This perfume is a huge success in Europe at this moment... All the shops are selling it like crazy last time I was shopping in Rome :) Still shopping for Christmas????

STRIPES are my best friend... am totally in love with stripes for any season, i just love it and can't get enough of buying whichever color that I find. Here are some of my favourites that was found at www.anthropologie.com , grab those bikinis and start planning for Spring vacation maybe in Cannes, Monaco or St.Tropez????

Good morning world. As most of you who read my blog know that I've been on European trip in the past weeks, so after leaving Piran in Slovenia, passed by Trieste for a morning cappuccino with a friend of mine had to rush to the train station for the trip to Veneto and stay with another friend of mine. Am sharing with you some photos of my amazing days spent in Venice (a city like no other). Definitely it wasn't my first trip :) as by now I know Venice by heart and find my way out from any angle without even the map! pretty amazing as my Venetian friends tell me with a happy smile on their face... wow you've become a Venetian !!! I hope so, and hope you like the photos. Ciao ciao Bella Venezia, Part II in the coming days. stay tuned.
