Hidden Treasure*

Old Photo Albums*
 Upholstry*

 Trinkets*


Voila*






Brought out tonsss of our old family albums, which i thought were tres' fugly before i primped them up (DIY). I've been working on this for about a week now, my fam is totally pleased with the results! SO MUCH PRETTIER. If you're thinking of doing something similar, you will need:
Scissors
Glue Gun
Funky Fabrics
Ribbons and Trinkets (to decorate)
I used fabrics we had in the house to reupholster all the albums. 6ab3an used a glue gun so that everythings well in tact. Then i decorated the spine of each of them with colorful ribbons, and trinkets collected over the years. Time consuming, but a pretty result is always worth it ;) Try it out, xx N

Crazy, Stupid, Love*


i wish. there was more. Ryan Gosling. in it. Thought it was a bit slow and hated every scene without Ryan Gosling or Emma Stone. It was funny at times, bs 6ab3n the funniest parts mg6ou3een here fil 5aleej. I WISH TOM CATS like Gosling existed in real life. seriously, you are my love #RGosling. I'd probably watch this movie again just for you. But shh, don't tell anyone ;* . xx N

FINALLY*

a5eeeeran! the final drawing of my room in our new house inshallah, i can't begin to explain or express how annoyingly long the flippin architect took to finish the floor plans. We've been stuck in this limbo for over a year and a half now. They're supposed to begin building by the end of this month inshallaah, SERIOUSLY CANNOT WAIT, i'll share bedroom ideas soon xx N

Bring Back the Domino*





 The discontinued Domino cookie:
Went shopping the other day with my sister and passed by Marble Slab. Now, their icecream is good, but i've tasted so much better when i used to study in boston. They have a whole section of The Great American Cookies too, which are rediculously yummy, and reDONCULOUSLY fattening, but sadly discontinued my favorite cookie :( It's called the Domino cookie. tastes just like an oreo, only extremely moist, with white chocolate chunks, and a trillion times better. i used to be ADDICTED, and i've been dying to try out a similar recipe but havent gotten the chance yet </3. BRING BACK THE DOMINO </3. i've been craving them so badly. recipe ideas more than welcome. xx N

Warag 3enab cake*

Prepare the stuffing, and layer a bake pan with a thin/medium layer of Wine Leaves after boiled for 2 hours (to soften), placing the stuffing inside:

Wrap the stuffing with more leaves, and once completely covered, pour half a cup of lemon juice, and a quarter cup of olive oil on top: 
Then double boil it in a large pot for about an hour, and Voila' *


A family member asked us to make her some of our home made Warag 3enab cake (Wine Leaves cake). We actually started using Silg instead, which is a type of leaf, muuuuch softer and 10 times tastier than wine leaves, i'd recommend anyone to substitute the two. It isn't a sweet, sugar based cake, it's a savory dish which just looks like a cake. The stuffing inside is rice based, spiced up with herbs and such. Very different, and tres' #Devine. xx N
