Went to souq Muharaq with my lovely mother today. We bought some fabrics that were adorable. I'v been working on a project (results will soon be uploaded here), and needed some more fabric to complete it! Mama bear, on the other hand, has her own mini jalabeya business, and bought some fabrics to work on. I might upload some of her work if she'll let me, will keep u posted bloggers ;* xx N 

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast*

I'm not a fan of Coffee, and i'm not a caffine person at all, but this is one of our delishhh homemade specialties, The Jimmy cake. It's a Coffee cake we usually have for breakfast, or tea time. Rich with a cream cheese frosting, hints of chocolate scattered inside, and ofcourse, a fresh, but not too strong, taste of coffee <3 It's a cake made of moist goodness <3. Served it for our mini family gathering a few days ago upon request by a few of our cousins. xx N

Brazilian Blowout Review*

For those who read my previous post about the Brazilian Blowout shampoo and conditioner, i said that i'd try it out and tell you if it made a magical difference to my hair. Well, it DID. My hair feels so much softer, friz-less and shinier. I thought it would work ust like any other shampoo, and that all the praises Brazilian Blowout products/treatment get are so artificial and commercial. But i actually feel like i totally love my hair now :p, definitely something i'd recommend to others. Still feeling iffy about the actual treatment, i don't think i'll be going that far just cuz of my bad experience, but if you have thick, untamable hair, i'm sure it'll work wonders. if you try it out, please give me ur feedback! xx N

Brazilian Blowout*


Just bought the Brazilian Blowout shampoo and conditioner, i'll tell you if it makes a difference! Thought about getting the treatment done, but i once Extenso'd my hair when i was 15, the results were dreadful, and it took YEARS for my hair to grow back out. Not courageous enough to try this out! but i know alot of people who have and theyre happy with the results. Updates on the products soon. xx N

Darling Doorknobs*

Before*
 After*





I got a bunch of funky doorknobs from Zara Home the other day, then decided to spice up my boring bathroom drawers/cupboard by changing them. i'm not the biggest fan of perfectly symetrical/identical decor, i love making unique and original things and ideas. The "Typical" simply bores me. I LOVE  ACCESSORIZING. Actually bought a little collection of these cute things, stocking up for my new room, WHICH WILL NEVER BE READY AT THIS SLOW ASS RATE. I was actually thinking of customizing a chest drawer with a bunch of drawers, a silver wash with each doorknob different than the other, could turn out really special. Ya rab inshallah time flies and we'd be settling in before we know it. xx N

Endless Endings*

"Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book."








 Don't judge a book by it's movie*
A sucker for Chick Lit, and as lame as it sounds books will be my escape forever. This is just one shelf out of my double stacked mini library. Addicted and Obsessed doesnt beging to cover it. I could sit here and list you all my favorite books,but surely that list wont end. My favorite genre: Chick-Lit. The stories are funny, the characters likeable, and after shocking scandals are lessons learned. i don't think i'll ever get enough of these addictive babies, they're too humerous and lighthearted. I think  my number 1 recomended Chick-Lit series would have to be: The A-List by Zoey dean. Rediculusly addictive, i've read all ten books twice (: that's right. If you're a fan of the Gossip Girl book series, you will really enjoy this series. It's got plenty of intrigue, dysfunctional families, and glamorous beautiful people. Thought i'm not a fan of any serious, action packed type of fictional book, (Don't get me started on Non-fiction. Call me  cynical, but those are just unbearable.ew)But just recently i started to read a fictional book called The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. It's a trilogy, and is going to be made into a movie. it's the total opposite of the Chick-Lit genre, but can i just say, OMG, KMN, such a good read, and totally recommend that to all of you book worms!It's more of an action packed book, it took my friend ALOT of convincing to get me to give it a chance. And trust me, if i, who reads nothing but fluffy books, loved it, then all you Chick-Lit lovers probably will too. 
Heres a short synopsis i found online for you: 
"Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where North America once existed. This is where a government working in a central city called the Capitol holds power. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each of 12 districts to fight to the death. The Hunger Games exist to demonstrate that not even children are beyond the reach of the Capitol's jurisdiction."
Did i mention theres a love triangle? :) 
P.S, i'm obsessed with twilight.#Loveit.#HateOnIt. xx N
