Ramadan-Taraweeh Outfit

I had no intention to blog about what am gonna wear this year while going to Taraweeh prayer, but a lot of sisters sent me emails requesting to know. Just one note before I do, Ramadan is about recharging yourself spiritually and seeking Allah's forgiveness . It doesn't matter if you are a fashionista or don't know the ABC of how to dress up...It's Ramadan and our trendy outfits won't do us any good if we weren't forgiven by Allah (SWT).
Ramadan Mubarak to all of the sisters out there :)

My Summer Buys!

Hi everyone!
Got some gorgeous Make-up & Skin-care products and wanted to share :)
Ok! First...summer's true essence " TRUblend minerals" Bronzer from Cover Girl...Bronzing powders (in general) ROCKS!! Gives you a great , healthy, effortless glow. I used it on the beach, by the pool and whenever I hang out with my friends. I just use this FAT (use the fattest brush you could find around!lool)


My second is " the COLOSSAL VOLUM' EXPRESS"  Mascara by Maybelline. I got it in black+non-water proof. Black colour defines the eye that's why I prefer black mascaras over brown or/& blue...This mascara did a great job! Loads of volume..no clogs what so ever...but on the down side the manufacturers included perfume/fragrance in the formulation. ( sorry working in the pharmaceutical field is taking over my vocab!lol)



Next would be the lovely,lovely Vaseline total moisture conditioning! Well Vaseline is great for the dry, cracked Winter skin...but I can up with a 2-in-1 use for it. Add 1 teaspoon ( more if you'd like or need) to course brown sugar or course sea salt...mix well and scrub+moisturize your skin before going to the beach to get an even, Brazilian-women style :) You even could do this while sitting at the beach (in case you forgot to prepare your skin at home)...you mix the moisturizer  with some sand (yep u read it right!lol) and scrub! Don't forget to wash it off!loool

Hijabi-Hair Bands!

Hair bands are all over the place now and most of the celebrities were spotted wearing them this summer. As a Hijabi , Hair bands meant nothing to me more than "Girls' parties" ( which doesn't take place pretty often! :( ) ....But I loved those bands sooooo much..so I came up with a cool way to wear them! :)
