Bath & Body Works opens in Doha!!!!

When I read about this online, I just couldn't believe it.... So V and I went to check it out for ourselves in the new mall, Dar Al Salam. I almost cried when I saw the shop!!! Also I totally converted V into liking this place... It really is soooo much better than Body Shop.

Now if only Bath & Body Works will bring back the HandiBac lotion.... :)

Magnolia Bakery in Dar Al Salam Mall

Also saw Magnolia Bakery in Dar Al Salam Mall! This is my brother's favorite cupcake place but I still like Georgetown Cupcake better. I think the cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery are just too sweet!

They do have some date cupcakes though...

Payless opens as well!!!

It was also exciting to find Payless in Dar Al Salam Mall, too! They had a great selection of cute shoes and the prices weren't too bad. Looks like there's another location in Al Khor...
