Today, one can see 4-5 year old children running around in pampers. They talk a mile a minute, yet they refuse to communicate their need to evacuate. They lack the discipline necessary to go and use the toilet or to ask somebody to take them to nearest bathroom.

The children, whose brains are developing and their life knowledge is minimal, are not to be blamed. I blame the parents, who are too lazy and not willing to take the time to educate their children, to discipline them and teach the first basic activities that will mark their children for the rest of their lives.

I want to share with my readers my mothers old fashion potty training method.

Most pediatricians say that timing is everything. Every authority on potty training claim that the child must be able to hold the urine and stay dry for at least 3 hours before training should start.

Here comes into effect the mothers devotion, love, commitment and patience. Instead of waiting for the child to give signals, the mother knows how to anticipate the event and to prepare the child for it.

When I was just 6 months old, as soon as I could sit, my mother made for me a harness. Such a thing was not available, nor could be bought in a store, in the old country, at that time. Immediately after feeding, or every 2.5-3 hours, she would put the harness on me and tie it to the crib, to keep me stabilized and would plop me on a glass potty. She would also give me a book with color pictures of animals, to look at. Mom would sit next to me, show me the animals and imitate for me the sounds which each animal made, encouraging me to do the same. From time to time, she would also whisper: pee-pee, pee-pee, or caca-caca. When she saw through the potty glass that I was doing my duty, she would repeat those magical words and tell me what a good job I was doing.

As my parents loved me very much, they kept my baby bed in their bedroom, so that they could keep a constant eye on me.

Very soon, while in my bed, I would whisper: pee-pee, pee-pee… My mother would hear me and put me on the potty. At night, my father was on potty duty. He would hear my whisper, wake up and bring the potty for me, in the crib.

When we were going out, to visit friends, when I felt the need, I would whisper either in my mothers or fathers ear my special words and they would take me to the bathroom.

As I grew and learned to walk, my mother put a small stool next to the toilet and I learned to climb alone on the seat.

There is no frustration in this method. Just a great time spent by the mother and child and a great opportunity to bond, leading to extremely strong, life long love ties.

I wish that all the parents will try this loving method, which will create new generations of disciplined, adapted, clean and obedient children, who will mature into productive and unconflicted adults.

In a world of sumptuousness and vogue you can find one brand that shines in the group and that company name is Gucci, the name is connected to several renowned designs, one of which is considered to be Flora, commissioned for Princess Grace of Monaco after the Princess shopped at Gucci, Milan.

After the Princess made the purchase of a handbag, Rodolfo Gucci wanted the Princess to select a gift from the shop to accompany the tote, a scarf was the selection so Rodolfo chose to have one crafted and required Vittorio Accornero to carry out the honours. It was not long before the Flora model was created to be incorporated on the scarf for Princess Grace, this was not the last anyone recognised of the style and design, it finished up being an icon associated with the high-end products and solutions of Gucci.

European ladies appreciated the Flora name, it had become an element that was handed over from mother to child, and Caroline of Monaco used a blouse in the Flora print of the scarf given to her mother in addition to Frida Giannini whose mother also fell deeply in love with the Flora art print while in Rome. In the the summer months of 2005 the Flora print was carried back to life when the print premiered on canvas handbags, the bags an instantaneous success, sparked adaptations, the design being rescaled, abstracted or re-colored and was seen on print garments in 2006 as well as on jewelry and evening bags, evidence of a Gucci image carrying on 40 years. A further image in the world of Gucci was the bag that presented life to Flora, with its handle of bamboo it was specially designed when the globe was at war and conditions had been really hard. Even though the bamboo handbag that spawned Flora was designed under duress, the standard of style and design from Gucci never ever faltered, the travelling bag would exceed all expectations in fame and continue on to become best-known as part of the history of the Gucci brand name and the bamboo print would be witnessed on various deluxe products.

Gucci is a term that is definitely connected with extravagance relating to fashion, there have been many bogus Gucci goods, yet genuine style gurus fully understand there is respect to owing the real thing, all things considered there is simply one Gucci.

It is important to keep the body as cool as possible during the summer months, which can be sometimes an -uphill task- for Muslim women that wear hijabs. The obvious tip is to suggest thinner and cooler fabrics in hotter weather – but it is also important to stick to absorbent materials as well. Fabrics such as georgette, chiffon and lace are therefore obviously great choices for the summer months.

Clothing with -air holes- – which allows more air to flow – are great in summer, with lace undercaps and loose crocheted caps both being very effective. Scarf headbands have become with the modern young Muslim and are a useful alternative to undercaps as they provide almost the same coverage but with a lot less material – as they just cover the forehead.

*Band Wool Bone
*Crochet Hats

Reducing the amount of material wrapped around the neck and top of the head is a wonderful relief on hot days – as this is where a lot of body heat leaves the body. Experiment with styles and how you pin your khimars. For the cooler summer days, a hat (should never substitute a khimar) could be a stylish addition to your wardrobe and they can be great play on style during the summer months.

Al-Amira hijabs are always worth a recommendation. The translation of the name means -princess scarf’ and it’s a slip over hijab style comes in two pieces; one piece of which serves as a hair cover while the other piece as a slip over from the same or near matching colour. Al-Amira hijabs are ideally suited for hotter climates as most of them are made out of light and absorbent materials.

Al-Amira Regular Plain Hijabs No Lace

Sarongs are a huge length of fabric that is very versatile and there is nothing stopping you from using one as a summary khimar. They are traditionally wrapped around the waist as a skirt by women and are usually made of very absorbent materials. They also come in a variety of stylish colours, patterns, and various sizes that would add some flair to anyone’s summer wardrobe.

Although not specifically designed for Muslim women – maxi dresses can be practically perfect for Islamic women after a slight moderation -just add a long sleeve shirt or jacket to make them more Muslim friendly. These light, modest and informal dresses usually reach the floor and provide excellent light and cool coverage.

Wearing clothes like this should make summer 2010 a much cooler experience for Muslim women everywhere!
