El Gouna: The Green Star Of Egypt

Published in Identity Magazine. July 2011.


When I first heard about how “eco-friendly” and “green” El Gouna is, my honest first thought to myself was “what a typical cliché, its just another marketing scam”! But my thought was instantly corrected and changed during my interview with Sherife Abdel Messih, the Environmental Advisor of the Chairman of ‘Orascom Hotels and Development’ on renewable energy projects, and the founder and CEO of ‘Future Energy Corporation’, the leading company serving renewable energy industry in the Middle east and North Africa. El Gouna quite simply is an environmentally friendly, zero waste, energy saving, green, beachside resort, with no compromise on comfort or style.

Surviving A Terrible Relationship



By: Nevine A. Abaza
Published in Identity Magazine. February 2014

Relationships come in all shapes and sizes. No matter what the relationship is like there will be moments of bliss, pure happiness, and strong love, as well as moments of disenchantment, lack of passion, and disagreement; that doesn’t make the relationship bad, it makes it normal. A bad relationship is more intense, it takes the worst of all relationships, the struggle, frustration, disagreement, and makes all the very depressing and hurtful parts of relationships extended and more extreme, keeping the pain ongoing, continuously pulling you in and down, sucking the life out of you. In a bad relationship you can find yourself running out of work during working hours because you just had a fight so intense with your partner that you start breaking down at the office, and suddenly find yourself driving on the highway with a panic attack that almost kills you because you almost got sandwiched between two huge trucks during your unexpected first time panic attack. But this doesn’t stop here, its only a dot that leads you to a pool of dots, every dot an extreme incident just as disturbing, or even more so. A bad relationship will convince you that this is normal, that this is just because your love is stronger and so the pain is stronger, but thats not true. Strong love would never abuse you, hurt you, cheat on you, manipulate you, or physically terrify you. In order to move on from this nightmare relationship you have to start realizing that it is not the circumstances that caused this situation, you have to start seeing the pattern, and start understanding that this is in no way good for you, or for anyone.

How To Deal With The Loss Of A Parent

Written by: Nevine A. Abaza



No matter how close or far you were, how good or bad your relationship was, how old or young you are, losing a parent is never easy. Every last conversation you had keeps playing in your head, you have no clue how you will survive another second without them, how will life go on, and how will you ever be able to breath again. It hurts, like being continuously stabbed by a million knives at the very same time, trying to escape the pain but you simply can’t.

Do You Peel Vegetables? Don't throw them out! Here's what you can do with your vegetable peels...

Asses Yourself
Sit down with yourself. Jot down what you think are your pros and cons, dreams, life goals, write down everything, don’t limit yourself or holdback. Start setting a plan and figure out the changes you need to do.
“Everybody is a genius. But if you Judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Albert Einstein
Motivate Yourself
Constantly remind yourself of your dreams and goals. Stay strong and don’t wait for anyone else to motivate you or to believe in you. Push yourself forward, break your old habits, and move on to being who you want to be.

Hey Women! Do you find yourself blocking a guy you have a crush on? Here's how to get over your fears...


HEY WOMEN
YES, NOW I'M TALKING TO YOU!

Published: Identity magazine

You meet a guy and you think he’s cute. You day dream about him, talk to your friends about how attractive and smart he is. Your dreams come true and he finally starts doing those steps that show he is into you, and what do you do? You find yourself backing off, treating him differently, getting out of your way to avoid him, do your best to talk to other guys when he’s around, and when you find him talking to another girl you decide he’s not into you, and you will let her have him.
Wait a second, what happened there?! No wonder guys think we’re insane! Let me tell you exactly what happened...

Hey Men! Do you have a crush that doesn't know you exist?! Here's how to make her notice you...

HEY MEN

YES, I'M TALKING TO YOU!

Published in Identity magazine.

You meet a girl, and think she’s the one. You can’t stop thinking about her, yet she seems to have no clue, and you don’t know what to do to catch her attention. One thing for sure is that she is no psychic, and even if she is, it’s quite impossible to know that a guy likes you just cause he says, “Hi, how are you?” Do you have any idea how many people say that? We can’t walk the earth believing that every guy that ever says hi and asks how we are has a crush on us, secretly we are his one and only love, and the girl of his dreams.
If you love a girl you have to let her know.
