Mubarak

Today is the 4th day of Ramadan already, I can't beleive it. I am not feeling too good this morning, tired, drained and I overslept for the morning meal so I ate nothing but before I went to bed last night I had like a litre of water. Gonna try not to do too much today, just relax.

Last week I signed up with www.sure-slim.co.za, they test various things in your body.... and they do a blood test and then forumulate a plan for you. I am so excited to see speedy results. They said I can lose the extra 10 kilos I picked up in a matter of 2 months. Lets see. I am going to get the eating plan tomorrow and start next week.

I am so weak today.... will write later

Special Occassion

Been checking on web for nice dresses or outfits for a special occassion (not going to divulge which one) but I came across a few. I really like the jalabiya's (caftans) from Dubai and they are not too badly priced either.

Jalabiya's:














Aren't they beautiful? Found some indian inspired ones as well.... see

Insomnia

Good morning... monday mornings are terrible and mine made even worst by not sleeping to well last night. At the beginning of the year I was suffering from insomnia and now again. I wonder what it is.... stress I guess.

Finally spring is here, today is a a beautiful 25 degrees. Lovely!

Laylatul Bara'ah - Night of Salvation

Tonight is a very special night in the islamic calendar.

It is the night of seeking forgiveness and repenting to Almighty Allah, remembering our past sins and sincerely promising that you will never commit sins in the future. This is the night where Allah requests the Angels to close our record books for the past year and the following for the coming year is written, Our rizk (propserity) for the year, the names of those to leave this world, the names of those who will be born, the difficulties and the good to come upon us in the world (etc. etc.)

To All the muslims - May the Almighty Allah accept all your Dua's (prayers) and shower his mercy & blessings upon you and your families, may Allah forgive us for all our sins we have committed in the past and strengthen our hearts with Imaan and love, may Allah accept all our dua's and all our good deeds for the past year and keep our Muslim Ummah stronger than before while we strive everyday to perfect it and stay united - INSHA-ALLAH!!!

Please make dua for all the deceased family and friends, the hungry & destitute, who are suffering, all over the world whom we have forgotten, let us make dua for all our Muslim Brothers and Sisters that are facing hardship and difficulties wherever they may be situated around the world

Hair

I don't know what to do with my hair, I am growing it at the moment so it is looking a bit shaggy at the moment. My aunt keeps on saying that she wants to see me with lighter hair because it will bring out my eyes, she is so funny.

I don't want to go too light, so I have settled on the colour, take a look. . . .



It is still a bit light for me but I also don't want it to go auburn.... so maybe light brown with no red undertones....

I think I will also go for a carribean tan.... haha, that will be a bit funny

The weekend was okay, weather was great yesterday, so I went to the Design Quarter, it was lovely, sitting out in the sun at this very posh restaurant, drinking mint tea and eating sliced fruit. It was so refreshing... I can't wait for summer
