Editor’s Note

I know maintaining inner peace sometimes gets difficult, especially amidst such chaotic times. When you heard bad news, your inner peace gets disturbed. It happens, and it happens to anyone. The thing is to get back to your self-concord.

Here, I want to clarify that being happy and keeping your inner peace are two different things. When you experience painful or difficult things, you surely won’t feel happy. However, it doesn’t mean you have to lose your peace.

Underneath those tears and grief, you can still remain calm, uphold your steadiness, and hang in there –regardless of the circumstances.

Maintaining your inner peace while confronting with the testing situations means able to move on and let go. Getting caught in emotions is humane, but not holding on to that is what one should do –to keep yourself at peace.

Remember, tough times come, and then they pass. Just like a running water stream, let that pass away.

Being thankful for everything eventually attracts all the positive and good things towards yourself.

See, struggle is a recurrent feature of life. We strive to win our battles till the last breathe. But fighting your battles with a true sense of gratification for being able to do and strive what you wanted for is a blessing that isn’t available to all.

So, it calls for being thankful for everything you receive in life. (Blessings come in disguise!)

I’m beyond moved and honored to coming this far. A journey of great storytelling through LLQ Lifestyle, the support I received from my family, friends, and colleagues, and brands, and the love of my readers for my craft.

I’m also really excited about the direction I’ve taken LLQ Lifestyle. It’s been a long road. But, all those sleepless nights, long hours curating and crafting are truly something worth waiting for.

Creating a visual delight for LLQ Lifestyle audience is exactly what I strive to do.

I look forward to what’s coming next. Stay tuned for our upcoming spring and Ramadan issues –they’ll be something to treasure and sensational.

Sending everyone love and wishes always.

ALVEOLAR RIDGE AND SOCKET PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLANT THERAPY

An examination of tsignificance of alveolar ridge and socket preservation in implant therapy

Maintaining optimal alveolar ridge dimension and socket preservation following tooth extraction are key goals in implant therapy. Once the tooth is extracted, hard and soft tissue remodeling is part of the normal physiologic healing process that occurs to the remaining edentulous ridge. This remodeling negatively affects the ridge dimensions in the buccolingual and apicocoronal aspects.

For premolar and molar sites, Schropp et al report ridge width reductions up to 50% (an average loss of 6.1 mm) within the first year post-extraction. With respect to anterior and premolar sites, a systematic review described an average loss of 3.87 mm in ridge width, and 1.67 to 2.03 mm in ridge height. Considering these ridge alterations may hinder optimal implant placement, compromise esthetics, and create unfavorable

defects around neighboring teeth and prostheses, minimizing this bone-resorptive process has been extensively researched. For clinicians, the goal is to provide treatment that preserves the natural tissue contours of the ridge following tooth extraction.

Alveolar socket preservation has been used to describe “a technique in which completely contained extraction sockets are filled with a bone substitute material and/or sealed with membranes, whereas in alveolar ridge preservation, damaged extraction sockets are also included.” Conversely, some review articles consider the terms interchangeable and mainly use alveolar ridge preservation, which has been described as “any procedure developed to eliminate or limit the negative effect of postextraction resorption, maintain the soft and hard tissue

PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES

Ridge preservation techniques can be divided into the surgical aspect and material selection aspect.

Surgical Considerations:

These mainly relate to the extent of soft tissue manipulation surrounding the extracted tooth. A flapless approach generally means no soft tissue manipulation flapped approach usually involves vertical-releasing incisions, flap reflection and coronal advancement to achieve primary closure.

Material Selection:

Alveolar ridge preservation procedures have been extensively tested with numerous materials and combination of materials, such as:

• Bone grafting alone (including autografts, allografts, xenografts and alloplasts)

• Membrane alone (including resorbable or nonresorbable)

• Combinations of membrane and bone grafting

DIASTEMA DIASTEMA

By Dr. Nour Zourob

A space separating teeth of different functions, especially that between the biting teeth (incisors and canines).

What causes diastema?

1. The most prevalent cause of diastema is the size of the teeth relative to the size of the jawbone. Quite simply, if the teeth are too small for the mouth, gaps may appear between the teeth. The size of both the teeth and the jaw are usually genetic, which is why diastema may appear to run in families.

2. Hypodontia, or teeth that are missing due to genetic causes.

How does diastema affect my oral health?

Most of the time, diastema should not cause any oral health concerns. If the gap between your teeth is caused by periodontal disease, you may require gum disease treatment.

Treatment:

1. Braces.

2. Rubber bands. Dental bands are small rubber bands that are placed over the two teeth in order to squeeze them closer and get rid of the gap.

3. Dental veneers.

ASICS LAUNCHES THE GEL-NIMBUS™ 25, THE MOST COMFORTABLE RUNNING SHOES AS TESTED BY RUNNERS

Featuring new PureGEL™ technology for softer-than-ever landings and 20% more FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning for the most comfortable running experience

ASICS is announcing the launch of the GELNIMBUS™ 25 running shoes, the most comfortable running shoes*, designed to help everyone experience the uplifting power of running on the body and mind.

Rated by runners as the number 1 in comfort in an independent test by The Biomechanics Lab in South Australia, the GEL-NIMBUS™ 25 offers more cushioning and softer landings for the most comfortable running experience.

The GEL-NIMBUS™ 25 features new PureGEL™ technology which is softer than previous GEL™ technology, creating the softest landings to date. The PureGEL™ technology which is not visible from the outside is strategically integrated in the midsole to deliver enhanced shock absorption and smoother transitions.

Designed to provide improved underfoot comfort, the shoe comes with new lightweight and energetic FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning, featuring 20% more foam compared to previous iterations. The foam is made from at least 20% bio-based material from renewable sources such as leftover waste from sugar cane processing.

A new soft, yet breathable and stretchy knit tongue and collar construction deliver an easier step-in and a more adaptive fit, helping the shoe to feel like an extension of the foot and make each stride more comfortable and smooth.

Laura Bolgen, Senior Manager Global Product Line, Performance Running

Footwear at ASICS said: “Following ASICS design philosophy, we use athlete wear testing, biomechanical research, sustainable methods and decades of craftmanship to create products that feel best for both body and mind. For the development of the GELNIMBUS™ 25, we set the bar very high. We knew that our ambitious goal of ‘creating the most comfortable running shoe’ was one that would require even more design and development work as well as internal and external testing and consumer validation. As a team, we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish throughout the 18+ months of tireless development work, and we hope that every runner will feel the difference that this uniquely comfortable GEL-NIMBUS model has to offer.”

Ana Elisa Seixas, Marketing Manager at ASICS Arabia said: “We have been testing the new GEL-NIMBUS™ 25 with runners throughout the region, across UAE, KSA, Kuwait, and Qatar, and the feedback has been extremely positive.”

After five years of collaboration, Hublot and Richard Orlinski are unveiling the missing link of their shared collection: a series of watches adorned with a new metallic bracelet using the facets of the French artist’s famous sculptures.

hen Hublot unveiled the first watch sculpted by Richard Orlinski in Miami in December 2017, the public reaction was unanimous: this was the first ever Orlinski artwork to tell the time! Since the launch of the first model, the Swiss watchmaker and Richard Orlinski have given life to a collection of watches displaying the angular style typical of the French artist’s work.

Richard Orlinski is a member of the Hublot Loves Art family in the same way as Shepard Fairey, Maxime Plescia-Buchi, Marc Ferrero and Takashi

Murakami, and he can pride himself on being the bestselling contemporary French artist in the world.

Hublot and Richard Orlinski are now beginning a new phase in their partnership by presenting four versions of the Classic Fusion Orlinski Bracelet fitted with a new integrated metallic bracelet. Every watchmaker knows that it is a tremendous challenge to design this type of bracelet. You must ensure that the bracelet is correctly integrated mechanically and aesthetically to the watch case and that it can comfortably adapt to every morphology. Hublot’s engineers have displayed all their technical expertise in making a watch whose corners, bevelled edges and facets define the character of the case, bevel, crown, and a metallic bracelet whose architecture is bevelled and faceted in titanium and composed of 83 parts.

Inspired by Richard Orlinski’s sculptures, its chamfered forms play with the reflections of its mirror-polished facets. The Hshaped links recall the Hublot logo.

This new bracelet attaches to the watch case, on which the facets extend. With a 40 mm diameter, it suits all wrists and all genders.

Its polished titanium case encloses a HUB1100 movement, a self-winding calibre with a power reserve of 42 hours. Its dial comes in a choice of black or white ceramic and displays the angular facets so unique to Richard Orlinski.

Like a jewelled piece of art, a partially pave set version of the Classic Fusion Orlinski Bracelet watch is also available, adorned by its new matching bracelet. Playing with shade and light, certain facets on the case, bezel and bracelet are adorned with diamonds, totalling a weight of 3.79 carats.

MODEL: WIMA MEJRI – MAKEUP ARTIST: TATIANA – PRODUCTION: SHADI PANOSIAN

LOCATION: THE ST. REGIS DOHA

When Princess Elizabeth turned eighteen in 1944, she received a Boucheron aquamarine and diamond double clip brooch. She would continue to wear this sentimental design throughout her reign. In 2020, Claire Choisne, Creative Director of Boucheron, decided to take inspiration from this unique piece to create a High Jewelry collection reinterpreting the famous Art Deco design through eighteen contemporary new designs.

HISTOIRE DE STYLE HISTOIRE DE STYLE

“Histoire de Style, Like a Queen draws inspiration from an icon whose style transcended decades.”

LIKE A

Q UEEN

A Sentimental Piece

“Three years ago, when I started looking for inspirations for this collection in the Boucheron archives, I couldn’t get my mind off that Art Deco double clip brooch, explains Claire Choisne. The severity and geometry of the Art Deco design, tempered by the softness and light blue hue of the aquamarines, always fascinated me. I was also touched by the sentimental value of this double clip, which Queen Elizabeth II wore at pivotal moments in her reign.”

This piece of jewelry joined the British Royal Family on July 31, 1937, through Prince George, Duke of Kent, who purchased it from the Boucheron boutique in London.

Seven years later, the family gave it to Princess Elizabeth for her eighteenth birthday. Throughout her reign, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, wore it on a number of occasions, most notably including her Diamond Jubilee on June 5, 2012; on May 8, 2020, for the 75th anniversary of the speech by George VI announcing the end of World War II; and on the 70th anniversary of her coronation on February 6, 2022.

An Exercise In Creativity

Inspired by Queen Elizabeth’s distinctive style, formidable character and effervescent presence, Claire Choisne thought it most fitting to work with this particular design and to bring it up-to-date in a collection that surpasses all genres. “Being able to wear a piece in a number of ways, as well as the use of color, were central to our work on this collection, so that both men and women may wear these pieces. We wanted these eighteen variations to reflect the ease with which the original was worn, since the two clips may be attached in various ways, on their own or together. We also wanted this collection to convey the elegance distinctive of this Art Deco piece.”

Thus, each piece of this Histoire de Style line reflects the unique spirit of the two cerulean clips. “On certain jewelry sets, we broke down the original geometry of the design. On others, we took the opposite approach: we compacted the Art Deco design. And elsewhere, we brought in another dimension by playing on the colors of the gemstones.”

A cherry ruby necklace, a pink tourmaline brooch, an azure aquamarine cuff bracelet, earrings adorned with lush emeralds... Histoire de Style, Like a Queen stands out with its monochrome plays on joyful, intense colors, inspired by the spirit of the bright outfits that Queen Elizabeth famously wore.

Like a story told through eighteen chapters, Histoire de Style, Like a Queen transcends its initial objective – to construct a full High Jewelry collection inspired by a single piece – and offers a glimpse of the true genius behind its design.

Hypnotic Blue

The deep, hypnotic blue of a six-carat Ceylon sapphire – clasped within a double arc set with round and baguette diamonds – captures the eye and adorns an entire phalange.

This piece coordinates with a hyperbolic cuff bracelet in lacquered gold set with cabochon- and baguettecut diamonds and aquamarines. Although the design of this piece almost identically reflects that of the 1937 double clip brooch, the use of blue lacquer to emphasize the stones provides it with a very up-todate look.

Frosty White

In the great tradition of wearing High Jewelry in various ways, the Frosty White necklace in white gold, diamonds and rock crystal offers six different configurations. The piece is set with more than a thousand diamonds, and its sides are adorned with the two famous Art Deco designs which may be detached and worn as a single or double brooch. The draped lower portion of the necklace, composed of four radiant strands, is also independent. It may metamorphose into a jacket adornment or cape clasp.

In keeping with this spirit, Boucheron has created a shape-shifting ring in diamonds and rock crystal. Adorning three fingers, this model is set with an emerald-cut central diamond (DFL II A) of 3.08 carats that may also be worn as a solitaire.

This piece is completed by a pair of ear pendants in diamonds and rock crystal that are also transformable.

Green Garden

When considered horizontally, the double Art Deco design inspires a platinum ring paved with emeralds and diamonds that is simply enhanced by a fine line of green lacquer.

The piece may be worn in two ways: with or without its diamond surround. Thus, the piece becomes a solitaire which highlights a cushion-cut Zambian emerald of 6.25 carats.

As a complement, Boucheron proposes a pair of coordinating earrings which feature two detachable pear-cut emeralds of 4.04 and 3.99 carats. The remaining designs may be clipped onto the lobe or higher up along the cartilage of the ear.

Color Block

Lemon yellow, fuchsia pink, turquoise blue... This pop High Jewelry trio is truly in step with the times. For these three diamond-studded pieces of ear jewelry, the jeweler alludes to The Queen’s wardrobe with multicolored sapphires in vivid tones.

The scaled-down Art Deco design and the choice of pure colors create opportunities to wear the Color Blocks in unstructured ways. The Color Blocks may be worn alone or grouped in various ways on different parts of the ear.

Rolling Red

Borne by 34 uniquely paired Mozambique rubies and nearly 1,300 round and baguette diamonds, this set includes a necklace, a pair of earrings, and a ring that asserts ultracontemporary elegance. On these models, the royal brooch design – stretched along a carpet of flamboyant gems – takes on a new dimension, revealing a totally modern approach.

The Boucheron style is present in the streamlined design of the necklace, featuring a central ornament that may be detached and transformed into a brooch. Meanwhile, a fully diamondset choker emerges. Its links are structured and articulated like a snakeskin molting in the 21st century, leaving behind the flourishes of the past.

Lemon Slice

In a compact, monochrome version with white diamonds on white gold, the 1937 model metamorphoses into a sophisticated piece that may be worn as a barrette or brooch. Thanks to leather ribbons –available in six colors including fluorescent yellow –, the diamond design may also be clipped in various ways to be worn as a choker or bracelet. The contrast among materials is a way to update the High Jewelry genre, propelling it into the 21st century.

Moon White

Combining daintiness and strength, this transformable jewelry set juxtaposes the soft iridescence of Akoya pearls with the intense sparkle of diamonds. Featuring 175 Akoya pearls and diamond-set links, the three-strand necklace features a detachable Art Deco clasp paved with diamonds. This may become a hair ornament or a pair of brooches that brings inimitable elegance to a tuxedo lapel or turtleneck.

Following the same principle, Claire Choisne created a pair of earrings, each featuring a lower section adorned with an Akoya pearl that may be removed in order to wear the principal portion of the piece on a different part of the ear.

The Queen’s double clip brooch also inspired a pair of index rings with a contemporary design. Streamlined to the extreme, shaped in white gold paved with mother-of-pearl and diamonds, the Art Deco design leaves an impression in the mind’s eye like a sparkling print in eternal snow.

Mega Pink

These two brooches may be worn in various ways, together or separately. Either way, Mega Pink stands out for its bright pink tourmalines. Cut into cabochons and baguettes, the colored stones are highlighted by channel-set diamonds while pink lacquer areas heighten their intensity. This pair of brooches is suitable for men and women.

In 2015, the original Papillon boutique opened in Doha. As the first Qatari female designer to open, manage and oversee the operation of her jewelry Boutique, Noora inspired many women to take the lead and she herself became a mentor for local designers.

However, Papillon is much more than a jewelry brand. “Papillon” is the French word for the butterfly, which is the emblem of the boutique’s logo. Noora Al Ansari, the creative force behind this unique Qatari brand, reveals the reason for her choice:

“I chose the name ‘papillon’, as a butterfly expresses the happiness, beauty, freedom, and confidence of any woman buying a special piece of jewelry. This is what I wanted to share, and why a butterfly became our symbol.”

This vision of the butterfly is expressed in every detail of the boutique: the color green represents a peaceful garden that invites clients to relax under the sunlight – the gold accents. In her inspiration, Noora invites clients to walk in her garden of jewels and to experience the enchantment of her glittering collection. Each piece of jewelry becomes a flower and each client a butterfly, flying freely from one gorgeous blossom to another. And when a butterfly selects her flower, she reveals a facet of her own secret self... in her secret garden.

In 2022, Papillon finally opened in the one and only, Place Vendome, to complete this luxurious journey for its butterflies. To experience this magic and reveal the unique connection between you and their creations, visit their boutique in Gate Opera 3 on the first floor.

A Refreshing Experience at

MAYSAN DOHA

February sun is calming. After having the coldest winters in the Middle-Eastern region, I wanted guaranteed sunshine. Especially as keeping too busy with work lately.

Yes, this is my workaholic self! As much as I’d like to get indulge in my work routine, there always came a point where I want some timeout, get a break, get away from my usual routine, and spend quality time with my family.

And what’s better than building lifelong memories with a family staycation? It is also proven that it’s even good for your health as people return from staycations happier and more relaxed. No surprise there, but study also found these same folks get more productive and maintain closer family bonding.

Good enough to convince me for a family staycation, I started searching for exclusive and luxury escapes in Doha and Maysan Doha ended my search with its bespoke concierge services and immersive 5-star experiences.

I booked a 2 bedroom villa for my family staycation at this luxurious resort. Here’s what my experience with Maysan Doha was so far.

An Exotic Location Nestled in Doha

The undisputed protagonist of these exclusive timepieces, of which only a thousand numbered pieces have been made, is the Medusa head floating between two crystals. After its debut with the La Medusa spring collection, this feature was reprised for the F/W season in the Medusa Infinite, which features a twotier dial with a radial Greca pattern cut out of the top level.

In this Limited Edition, on the other hand, the Greca pattern remains on the inner ring of the skeleton dial, but without the radials. The parts of the automatic movement can therefore be seen clearly from both the front and the back of the 40 mm case.

The Mediterranean Décor with Luxury Fusion

As we entered the lobby, the interiors of Maysan Doha inspired me with all its power.

The comfortable yet luxurious emphasis on outdoor-indoor living while maximizing natural light and the views of outdoors created the most stimulating interiors of this beautiful resort.

Wall-length windows, vaulted doors, arched casings with warm lights, and roof with exposed beams brought natural light making it breezy interior space.

This is exactly what I wanted to spend my next days, soaking in good amount of February sun and enjoying the comfortable weather under a highly luxurious vicinity.

I booked the 2-bedroom villa for my staycation, we checked in swiftly as the staff was extremely helpful and provided complete indetail guidance.

The Luxurious 2 Bedroom Villa

My 2 bedroom villa is a spacious 230 sq.m entity. Besides large cozy bedrooms, it also featured a living room, a garden with comfy seating, and sunbeds. The suite also has access to the patio covered with pavilion and pool from both bedrooms.

The living room is a stylish open social unit that thoughtfully combines dining table with chairs, lounge with king-sized pullout sofa bed right in front of a 65 inches HDTV. My kids are addicted to lounging and watching their favorite movie, so they loved it!

Moreover, to my delightful surprise, there was also a kitchenette with microwave, minibar, and coffee/ tea corner with an expresso machine and tea kettle.

The 2 bedrooms are perfect for a couple and their kids. One kingsized bed with complimentary drink was waiting for us. We took the advantage to sip in while kids were lounging in watching TV.

The other bedroom featured 2 double beds where kids kept their stuff and luggage. There is a separate bath tub, shower and toilet area. There are high-quality amenities provided that include bathrobes, slippers, hair dryer, blackout curtains, and night lights.

This ultra-luxurious Maysan villa is also equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, USB ports, a security safe, and iron with board.

With all these amenities, it can easily accommodate 6 people.

Zero Privacy Concerns

One of the best features of Maysan at Hilton Hotel is having utter privacy throughout the staycation. You can fully enjoy with your family and never need a “do not disturb” card to hang on your door. Your privacy is taken care of by the hotel staff and management.

The audible alarms, electronic locks, emergency call on phone, security safe, and thumb dead bolt –all of these confidence amenities were provided to ensure security along with privacy.

Highly Dedicated Customer Service

I and my family were astounded at how genuinely caring the staff at Maysan Doha is. From considerate greetings upon entering the lobby and checking in to personally following up on custom requests like activities recommendations –the Maysan staff feel more like warm friends than just employees.

The Lip-smacking Food at La Casa

We have been provided with all-day dining facility at La Casa. And yes, we availed that opportunity to the full and kept enjoying late hour brunches at La Casa and also in-room dining on other days.

Our experience at La Casa was the best. We were always greeted by friendly staff. The atmosphere was comfy and filled with live music, and happy chirps of the people enjoying their food. We stick around for a while after having our meals just to enjoy the music. (Yes, it was that good!)

If you are a foodie and like to have Italian cuisine more often –then La Casa is the go-to place for you. Well, all that fits me in so I thoroughly enjoyed their Italian food that was served with on-point presentation.

We ordered Black Angus Tomahawk Steak at first –it was served with baked potatoes with a dip. Next we ordered Red Tangliolini Pasta with spicy pepperoncino and fresh burrata cheese.

The drops of Italian spices encased in olive oil breaks open in my mouth superficially to delight me up. Desserts showed off delightful effects of temperature and weightlessness that would only be achievable through mastery of Italian desserts.

For drinks, we selected their wellness juices and they did compliment well with our meal.

And of course, who can miss the original oven fresh Italian pizza? Kids ordered one smoked pepperoni for themselves -and we were all good to dig in.

We also had their breakfast and that freshly baked croissant and coffee is just out of this world. From breakfast to dinner, the La Casa menu is novel enough to fill our staycation with new flavors every time. We will be their curious diners for several upcoming months.

Leisure We Tried

Apart from having a full pool day at Maysan’s outdoor swimming pools, my wife and I also enjoyed luxury spa treatments while our kids had a fun-filled blast at the fully supervised kids club. We also tried their Hammam treatment, it was an ultimately relaxing experience.

While my wife enjoyed spa day and kids at the club, The Cigar lounge was for me to unwind from my work stress and get some dopamine boost.

Pool Day is a MUST at Maysan Staycation

The most appealing attraction of Maysan Doha is the private pool for each villa. So, the next day we got our sunscreen on for full pool day. The pool deck at Maysan is designed to perfection. It’s really refreshing and indulging for a perfect pool picnic. My kids didn’t wait for us and just dived in to the kids’ pool. We were served with refreshing drinks, fresh juices, and fruits. The hygiene, privacy, and service –all were worth 5-stars, to be honest.

The Verdict

The staycation at Maysan totally refreshed me up for my upcoming projects. It was one of the best experiences to have with my family to just relax, unwind, and enjoy quality time. From checking in to checking out, there wasn’t a single moment where my wife and kids were not cheering up. And you know that’s the first priority of a family man –keeping your tribe happy!

My experience was 10/10 overall.

I’ll definitely recommend my LLQ Lifestyle family to blindly pick Maysan for your next family staycation –and yes, thank me later!

Is marketing more about imagination or innovation?

Is the marketer more artist or entrepreneur? As marketers need to master data analytics, product design, and customer experience, that requires a new way to think about creativity in marketing.

CREATIVITY IN MARKETING

First of all, costumers today are not just costumers. They are creators and influencers on your marketing plans and platforms. They can help you develop the content and the ideas by using their experiences to expand your company’s reach. To be creative in marketing, you should work with the customers, not just for them.

Moreover, every marketer should invest in the end-to-end experience, not just the part that is under their control. That includes the product or service, the selling process, the customer care service, and the after-sale service. That takes time and effort but brings creative thinking to any unfamiliar problem.

Nowadays, people are the new platform for marketing. Person-to-person marketing is the most important and effective tool you can use. So being creative at this point requires you to turn everyone into an advocate for your business. This will bring you new recruitment opportunities.

The most important issue is to bring your creativity to measurements, which means that you need to know exactly what works and what doesn’t work. That allows you to be creative while not wasting time on plans that cannot be completed.
