Hookah Not Understood? Hide it in Plain Sight With this Decorator’s Tip

The On-Going Controversy Over Shisha Safety
It seems not a week goes by without someone or some organisation trying to tell us that hookah is dangerous, kids are all at it, and it should be banned outright.

Celebrate World Human Spirit Day with a relaxing Shisha!
Today is World Human Spirit day, and I guess you’ve never heard of it, but it’s a day of celebration, hope and understanding that what we know about our world is limited and superficial. We all crave after the latest “stuff” and want the best in life, even if that’s a bigger screen or faster…… Continue Reading
