The Hiking Checklist: The 6 Things You Need for a Perfect Hike

hiking checklist

If you’re planning on heading out for a hike and exploring nature, you might need a few essentials to help you along the way. Whether you want to go deep into the mountains or discover Saint Katherine from Wadi to the Mountain tops, you might need crucial hiking gear. hiking checklist

To determine what you need to bring on a hike, think about three vital keys, how far you plan on hiking or staying, how remote the location is, and what the weather forecast has in store.

If you are new to hiking and unsure about what to bring with you, here are 6 items to add to your checklist.

By: Hana AbdelAziz

– Sleeping Bag

A sleeping bag is a primary piece on your checklist if you plan on spending the night. One that holds 11 to 20 liters of gear is about right for a short-distance simple hike. However, something bigger is highly assured for storing your belongings, such as water, food, and a first aid kit.

– Clothing & Footwear

An experienced hiker will expect the unexpected that’s why it is crucial to check the forecast and make sure to dress for the conditions. To be prepared for the unplanned, pack an extra layer of clothing for the trip. And don’t forget to bring SPF as Egypt’s boiling weather will keep you burned for days. For footwear, determine what to wear based on the trail you’ll be taking. But we recommend sturdy boots or sneakers.

– Navigation

Cliché as it may seem, but yes, a compass and a map of the area you are in is considered a piece of essential equipment to bring with you. Usually, on hiking trips, Tour guides assist you along the mountains. However, personal hikes are vital for anyone who needs to find their way back. This is where maps and compasses are there to guide you. Keep in mind there won’t be any cell phone services in most areas.  hiking checklist

– Emergency & First Aid Kit

To prevent having a horrible hiking experience, a first aid kit is a must. Nothing too crazy, but a prepackaged first-aid kit or a DIY kit is important to take with you. The first aid kit must include at least a few basic criteria’s such as Anti wipes (alcohol-based OK and BZK- Based wipes), wraps, splints, wound coverings, additional medications/ treatments, tools, and supplies.

– Health & Hygiene

To be prepared is a must also for the littlest things. In your hiking bag, items such as hand sanitizers (preferably ones that include alcohol in them), prescription medications, tissues, and menstrual products should be included in your carry-on. hiking checklist

– Hiking Extras

It is always great to be extra prepared, especially if you are spending the night. A few of the things you will need are simple tools such as a headlamp or flashlight (with extra batteries), camera, binoculars, and not to forget, your trusty personal items, passport or ID, cash, a cell phone, and portable chargers.

8 Ways to Keep Safe During New Year’s Eve Gatherings

Nearly two years into the pandemic, cases are resurging in some parts of the world, and with the holiday season approaching fast, it is useful to remind ourselves of ways to be safe.

Whether you are celebrating New Year’s Eve at a party or having a small get-together, here are 8 ways to keep you safe.

By: Hana Abdelaziz

Limit the number of guests

Limiting the number of guests makes a difference. As you are not only protecting yourself but also the people surrounding you. In some countries, like Canada, stated to only have 5 or 10 maximum aloud. Outdoor gatherings are a better option to keep yourself, your friends, and your family safe.

Wear your masks

It is frustrating, we know. But it makes a difference in the rapidity of contamination. So, consider styling or glamming your masks to match your outfits, which helps keep it on.

Open the windows for ventilation

Even with a mask on, opening a window is valid. Ventilation circulating the area you are in helps create fresh air coming in and out to breathe better. Remember that germs live in stuffy areas!

Sanitize surfaces and your hands

No matter how many times you have used any of the objects or things you have touched, it is crucial to keep a sanitizer with you at all times. A creative way to keep your sanitizer with you is to use a key chain and chain it to your handbag.

Wash your hands frequently

It seems that the virus has reminded everyone of basic hygiene.

You never know what was on surfaces you have touched or people you have shaken hands with. So, washing your hands just one time won’t be enough. You need to wash them frequently, please.

Don’t get too cozy with strangers

Whether you are celebrating the New Year at home or outside, smaller gatherings in spaces that allow you to keep physical distance are safer. But if you can’t, then at least stay close to the group you came with and try not to get too close to strangers.

Take vitamins before going out

Vitamins and immunity booster shots may just be the key to a better option from getting sick (it is for sure not the cure for covid-19 but will surely help the immunity system). They will most definitely give you the energy you need to help boost you up when feeling fatigued.

Don’t go out if feeling sick or unwell

Be honest with yourself and with others. If you are not feeling well, it is not worth a party or an outing, especially if you are putting yourself and others in danger. There will be more parties in the future but not you if you don’t have the proper rest that is needed.

7 Worst Christmas Songs of All Time: You’ll Be Running for The Hills

It’s that time of year again when you walk into a supermarket, and you hear the same old songs over and over again without getting ambushed by Jingle Bell Rock. Christmas songs

Our list of the worst Christmas songs includes psychotic butchering of beloved classics, horrific attempts at new standards, and hideous tunes. Here are 7 Christmas songs that will have you running for the hills!

By: Hana Abdelaziz

1- Twinkle Twinkle Little Me- Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder is an all-time legend, no doubt about that. However, in 1967 he released his eighth album in five years, “Someday at Christmas.” While the music of Twinkle Twinkle Little Me is as calm as a lullaby, but the song barely made any headlines. We still love Stevie Wonder, just poor choice of a song.

2- Funky Funky Xmas– New Kids on the Block

So, the NKOTB decided to switch things up a bit with Funky Funky Xmas and were inspired by James Brown’s soulful tunes. Christmas songs

Christmas SongsUnfortunately, making a Christmas song for them means a repetitive singalong chorus that is utterly joyless, with lyrics that sing, “He said you left the fire burning and I burnt my butt, so now I’ve learned you’ve got to turn the fireplace down so Santa won’t get burned”. They tried to make it fun, but the song screams just screams: We are trying too hard!

I think we have heard better to help us stay happy during the holidays!

3- Mistletoe- Justin Bieber

Christmas SongsBieber fans don’t come for us as Justin has had some cringe moments over the years, and this song is the definition. We won’t even go into the details of the music video, but sending a Christmas card to his girlfriend signing it “Justine Bieber“? Really?

4- I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus– The Jackson 5

How disturbing is it to have this song on your Christmas music list, I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus? The children need a lot of therapy from listening to that. The title even says it all. Christmas songs

Let’s set the scene: A child awakes by the sound of reindeer clippity-clopping on the roof. There’s a rustling in the chimney. Could it be? Leaping out of bed, the little sprite rushes into the living room, and yes! Yes! It’s true! He’s real! Santa is really … hey, wait a minute! Get your hands off my mom! It is one of those bitter-sweet and horrific lifetimes of trauma.

5- I Never Knew the Meaning of Christmas- NSYNC

Christmas SongsIf you are a fan of NYSNC cover your ears. NYSNC is known for its personality, music, and relationship with a past girlfriend, Britney Spears. However, the lyrics of this song are confusing, “That I never knew the meaning of Christmas ’till you came into my life. “How many times do we have to hear that, we get it. This song shouldn’t have existed in the first place.

6- Don’t Shoot Me Santa– The Killers

The Killers 2007 Christmas single could have been so much better. Instead, they wrote a tragedy song that admits shooting children on the block. We need more Christmas cheer songs, not Santa gunning us down. What strikes us the most, all the proceeds of this song went to a benefited Bono’s Product Red AIDS charity. This is insanity!

7- Santa Baby- The Pussycat Dolls

We stand the girl band. However, we mind singers butchering a classic song sung by many successfully. PCD was the worst one. We can only say two things: it was not needed, and we don’t like the repetition.

Know Yourself… A Glimpse on the Enneagram

Enneagram

Did you know that any behavior is just a façade for a huge internal interaction happening underneath? Have you asked yourself what really lies below those behaviors we tend to sometimes repeat? Why do we act the way we do?

Some of the answers lie in 2 very simple words: Patterns & Motivators. It is exactly here where the Enneagram can become handy. This famous model called Ennea (9), and Gram (illustration), maps 9 distinct main personality profiles, with their own unique mental patterns, emotional patterns, characteristics, challenges and gifts, as well as a specific path for each of these types towards more awareness and growth.

Written By: Alia Saleh & Maggie Balbaa

Brene Brown, the famous motivational speaker and author says

“The Enneagram…has changed how I understand myself and the people around me. It has brought me closer to myself and my true essence, and it’s brought me closer to God who dwells fully within that essence-alongside my imperfections and vulnerabilities”

The Enneagram’s known roots go back to the beginning of the 1900s, with a young man born in what is now Greek Armenia, then a part of Russia. George Ivanovich Gurdjieff was obsessed with esoteric knowledge and religions from a young age.

To satisfy his thirst, he travelled far and wide from India, to Egypt to Persia, studying the many faiths and rituals, and began to teach a secret discipline for awakening and consciousness, to a carefully chosen group of disciples, which he called “The Fourth Way”. Gurdjieff established the foundation of the Enneagram through the symbol but did not formulate the personality model we know today.

In the late 1940s another man, a psycho-spiritual teacher called Oscar Ichazo, began to lay the foundations for what we know today as the Enneagram of Personality. Together with a group of enthusiasts, he formed Arica School in the late 1960s.

One of his students, Claudio Naranjo, a Chilean psychiatrist, took these teachings and developed them further, comparing and validating them with psychology. His model was passed on to many of today’s Enneagram teachers we know presently.

Today, many psychologists confirm the validity of the Enneagram and its correspondence to Psychoanalysis and see it as a useful tool in therapy. The Enneagram is used commonly for personal development, relationship, career, teaching and corporate therapy and coaching.

There are endless definitions of what the Enneagram is, and as with other disciplines, some of these definitions fall short of the true purpose and wisdom. You do not learn your type to stick to it, you learn your type to develop an inner observer that would help you to have a choice outside of that type autopilot.

So what is the Enneagram of Personality?

The basic idea behind the Enneagram is:

  • There are 9 major personality types. We are all born with a temperament that makes us ready to absorb the persona of one of the types.
  • The types are strategies that are learnt from a young age to cope with the world
  • These strategies, while they served a purpose in early childhood, now become an obstacle in adult life, but they are unconsciously and rigidly held onto
  • Once we find our type, we begin to see these strategies in a more conscious way. We then begin a lifelong journey of work, to become more conscious of our habitual thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and this constant work is the aim of using the Enneagram
  • As we do this necessary work, we begin to clear the path towards a higher spiritual connection, which has always been there but was masked by our unconscious personality

EnneagramOne key element that distinguishes the Enneagram from any other personality typology is its focus on motivation as the factor that distinguishes between people, rather than behaviour. We can all feel the same emotion, do the same thing but the “why” behind it will be completely different.

We all get angry, sad, and anxious and we can all show it (behaviourally). What characterises our personality is the motivation behind this behaviour. A type 6 and a type 8 can both get angry, but according to the Enneagram, they will have different motives, that are a characteristic of their type. It is these motives that deserve focus, and not the behaviour, because deep down into them lies the first step of change, Awareness.

By now, you are probably eager to find your own type. The process of typing is complex one, and it is best to be done by a qualified professional in a ‘typing interview’. However, here is a very basic look at just one of many aspects that distinguish types: Focus of Attention

Type 1 Focus on what is wrong and how to correct it both in the world and in themselves

Type 2 Focus on others and their needs, and how they can help satisfy them for others

Type 3 Focus on goals and achievements, and how to maintain an image of success

Type 4 Focus on what is missing in themselves or in life, which springs from a constant feeling of not being enough

Type 5 Focus on knowledge and how to get it, and how to protect their own energy, which they perceive as scarce, from intrusions

Type 6 Focus on potential future dangers, what could go wrong, and how to secure themselves from them

Type 7 Focus on multiple exciting future possibilities, and planning for fun

Type 8 Focus on injustice and protecting themselves from being betrayed and vulnerable

Type 9 Focus on maintaining harmony and peace with others, and avoiding conflict

A major Regional Enneagram Event, organized by the International Enneagram Association Egypt Affiliate, is happening right here in Cairo, 28th to 30th January 2022. Many of the world’s renowned teachers are present face to face! The conference is a series of parallel experiential sessions.

You get to attend 1 session face to face and take access to the rest of them via their recordings after the event. It is made for ALL LEVELS from beginners to experts! This year there is a discovery track specially designed for people who want to get introduced to the world of the Enneagram of personality. This track has a special discounted ticket and is exactly 5 sessions, for 1 day and a half.

3. Ask for someone’s opinion on something small

You will be fascinated with some of the things you learn from people’s opinions. They will weigh up the pros and cons for you, from their perspective which can definitely teach you a thing or two! Conversation Starters

7 Things You Should Do To Prepare Yourself to Love Again

love again

Being in a relationship requires a lot of energy and commitment. Relationships truly are hard work and if you haven’t yet healed from a previous one it can be hard to jump into something new without messing it up. Here are 7 things you could do to prepare yourself for a new relationship and be ready to fall in love again.

By Mariam Elhamy

Learn to Love Yourself

It goes without saying that loving yourself first is how other people can love you too. God knows it’s hard to love and treat yourself right after a breakup, especially if your ex didn’t treat you right but you can start by taking care of yourself and your needs.

Could be as simple as getting a new haircut or exercising more regularly. Spend some quality time alone with yourself and learn to realize it’s not a bad thing.

Think About What You Want

Consider your past issues, what went wrong with your past relationship? How do you think you deserve to be treated? What did you do wrong that you would do differently this time? In order to start something new you need to fully know what to expect and what is expected of you and to see if you can live with it.

Don’t Be Afraid To Ask for What You Want

Knowing exactly what you want is one thing and asking for it is something else entirely. So you’ve thought about what you want out of a relationship now it’s time to put it into words. This will make it so much easier when you’re dating someone new.

Don’t Wait for Love to Come To You

Love happens when you least expect it. Trust me it has happened to all of us and one day it will happen to you. You just need to stop putting all your energy into finding someone and trusting that they will come at the right time. If you’ve already found them but are not feeling ready for something yet, follow these steps.

Do The Things You Always Wanted to Do 

Remember that course you’ve always wanted to take but always found a reason to put it off? Well, it’s time you do them! Busying yourself with the things you love will not only make you feel accomplished, but it will also make you widen your interests and help you meet new people.

Learn To Be Vulnerable 

This might sound easy but it’s really not. You might not even realize you’re closed off but it’s hard to accept love and give in return if you don’t open up. Your whole life you’ve been taught not to show emotions because showing emotions is a weakness. Imagine the relief you’ll feel when you finally open up to someone you love and can trust.

Accept that We Are All Different

We all expect to be loved in different ways. Not knowing how you want to be loved or how your partner wants to be loved is normal at first, but communicating really is the best way to tackle issues before they get out of hand. Learn about the 5 different love languages and listen to Dua Lipa’s song Love Again.
