this shop has any kind of light that suit to any taste...the most important is that their products (especially lamps) look very sophisticated and elegant, yet not too classy, and it can fit in any home...last time i bought beautiful tall lamp made from wood that can be used indoors as a decoration, as well as outdoors...and it was cheaper as it was on sale...

Approximate cost: $150

great shop with all imaginable hair care and styling products...i bought here GHD hairstyler and could notice they have wigs, hair extensions...what i liked the most were lovely staff that even started styling my hair in order to show me what i can do with my GHD...that was fun and my hair really looked different and better than it was...

Approximate cost: $300

it is very unique shop with handmade home decoration item Moroccan and other styles, however next time i would think twice before buying something here... sales person that is owner of shop as well wasn't helpful at all, very dismissive when asked any questions and generally makes you feel like you have to buy something...it is very pricy shop and i did buy quite few items from there, but certainly didn't like shop owner...and mistake bying wooden boxes with metal additions as they don't look pretty as they did in shop..funny thing was after i bought quite few things , she was even trying to make me buy more...i don't think that's gonna happen any time soon..however, i would recommend nice Morrocan theme platers as they look beautiful on coffe table (or even dinning table) and tea glasses that can be used for drinking tea or decoration...

Approximate cost: $25-$300

really unusual shop as it sells beautifull pices of gold with simultaneous diamonds...if you are not into diamonds this is the shop...you can find beautiful 14 carat gold jewellery with large, sparkly stones that are not diamonds...prices are like in any other jewellery shop (without precious stones)...i bought tear diamond like earrings in white gold-price $200...ring $660 and they really go well if you want to make an effect when going out at night...no one would notice diamonds unless you have large piece on your neck, but these ones are easilly noticable and everyone makes comments on them...

staff here are very nice and polite and always there if you need any assistance...they provide personal trainers that franchise with them and you can choose and book trainer at the times that suits you...the more classes you choose the cost of training decreases and also depends on type of exercise you want (cardio, muscle tonning, boxing, etc.)...i have done some muscle tonning for a few months although had membership for a year...gym membership cost (around $800 per year) doesn't involve personal training cost, but only provides you with use of facility and equipment..trainers are paid separatelly on your own (approx. $42-45.00 per 45 minutes lots...my trainer was Julia B. and she was amazing and helpful in every way...you can learn a lot of exercises with trainer until you are able to continue on your own (i would usually do lifting weights with her and gradually increase weight on equipment and bells. includes exerciose with ball). i could see that some people exercise boxing and it looks like hard work...gym provides boot camps too...and they alsdo have nice dressing rooms and showers...
