I saw the new Datsun ad featuring Wissam Kamal and his father a couple of days ago and totally loved it! Knowing that Datsun was phased out in 1986 before launching again in 2013, they totally nailed it with their reference to the 80s.
On another note, I think it’s cool to see brands collaborating this way with people who got famous through social media such as Wissam. Kudos to that!
Valentine’s day is in less than a week, and to those looking to get their significant other a self pampering product, Feel22 is a new Lebanese e-commerce website to help you with gift ideas of that spirit.
From make up, to skincare, perfumes, and other beauty products, Feel22 has it all, and the reason I’m posting about it is mainly because my wife was quite impressed with their products selection, in addition to the fact that they have some brands that are pretty rare to find in the Lebanese market such as Sephora, so their catalogue is definitely worth a look.
I personally tried ordering from Feel22 and found the website to be very responsive. At checkout, you only need half a minute to create an account before you place your order, and they offer free shipping all over Lebanon within a day or two. You can also order items through a WhatsApp number if you like to with a cash on delivery option, and there’s a live chat support available throughout the day if you have any inquiries.
For those interested in trying their service, the awesome people at Feel22 were kind enough to provide me with a promo code for the blog readers to benefit from a 10% off any order. All you have to do is input the code PLUS961FEEL22 to get your instant discount.
Happy shopping!
Here are my picks from Lebtivity for this week. They’re all related to Valentine’s day this time, so if you are single just pass on this one! 😛

I have to admit, this is both genius and cringy at the same time! I’m guessing it started as an internal joke among their employees and somebody just decided to post it on their instagram! (they later removed it)

I’m a bit surprised this isn’t advertised much by “touch” so I thought it’s worth sharing with you.
Touch recently announced a partnership with accommodation booking website booking.com in order to let their subscribers benefit from 4% cashback of the reservation value on their touch lines whether prepaid or postpaid.
To benefit from the offer, all you have to do is to make your next reservations via booking.touch.com.lb or through touch’s mobile app.
Note that booking.com offers you a “Genius” status after booking 5 trips with them, which makes you eligible for a 10% off on selected hotels. That along with the 4% in cashback would save you some good money especially for long trips!
I personally make all my booking online and would definitely consider using this service when planning my next trip since I have a touch line.
Here are my picks from Lebtivity for this week. Once again, I highly recommend you check the 23rd European film festival.

I just spotted a tweet by Ronaldinho posted a few hours ago stating he’s in Beirut with a photo of himself in Zaitunay Bay.
I didn’t find any accurate details about the purpose of his visit anywhere on the web, but let’s hope he’s negotiating playing a game in Lebanon along with other football legends like the one that took place at Fouad Chehab stadium last summer.
P.S: I hope people stop posting jokes about him signing for Al Ahed because they’re so lame!
Update:
Here are some more photos courtesy of a friend of mine.
Dalia Freyfer just broke the Guinness world record for the longest TV talk-show this morning by going live for 24 continuous hours and hosting more than 90 guests on Télé Liban.
The show started yesterday morning at 8AM and ended exactly 24 hours later today. And as it shows in the above photo, she immediately got her world record certificate .
For those who don’t know her, Dalia performs religious hymns in addition to occupying two jobs at Télé Lumière and Alfa Telecommunications. What makes her special though is that she lost her eyesight at a young age but insisted on pursuing her goals in life by obtaining a degree in psychology and attending the conservatroire.
Out of curiosity, I googled similar record breaking attempts and noticed that presenters from Ukraine and Nepal hosted 52 and 62 hour talk shows in the last few years. This is definitely not to doubt Dalia’s accomplishment since Guinness already approved it, but it would be good if Télé Liban clears out the criteria she satisfied to break the record.
Anyway, congratulations to both of Dalia Freyfer and our national TV channel!

Update:
It turned out Dalia actually got the certificate for the first 12 hours of her show in which she interviewed 43 people, but she continued for another 12 hours and interviewed even more people.
This is one hilarious story! Barbar’s chicken shawarma is worth some trouble, but things went a bit extreme for this guy as he got himself confused for a terrorist while trying to keep his sandwich from getting wet!
Here are my picks fro Lebtivity for this week. I highly recommend you check the European Film Festival program for some “non-commercial” movies. It is taking place as usual at Empire Sofil from January 26th till February 6th.
