While all your friends are getting married...

A few days back a friend of mine sent me an email...with an article on it. I'm coming across a lot of these kind of articles since i turned 23 LOL. I wonder if its God's way of comforting me or what... I am however very patient and content.

I just thought of reposting the article so that my viewers can read it too..
 ________________________________________________________________________________




“Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent.” [Qur'an: Chapter 66, Verse 8]

We all wish to marry and settle down with a comforting partner in our lives. Especially women. They begin to hope and dream of a husband usually during their teens. The budding desire to have half our deen completed as soon as possible is quite strong in women. Women want to have a spouse who practically makes her life incredible with each passing moon, and kids who make her home a heaven. Truly, which woman wouldn’t want a picture perfect family in her life?

Every female wants this dream. And with this desire, comes a pressure for many Muslim females i.e., getting married at a youthful age. That’s right. While men do not deal with this pressure, many women do. The younger, the better.

On the other hand this tradition often leads towards too many low self-esteem points for single sisters out there who haven’t found their other half yet and feel like they are either forever alone or forever destined to be single.

Soon, they begin to develop serious depression as they watch their friends and even younger peers get married. Many are even left feeling like their youth is wasted if they are not married while they are young.

This article is penned down as a gift and advice from one single sister for her other single sisters out there who are feeling down and need help to see the light of iman. I hope that you can gain wisdom from this and beat the obstacles to being productive, as Islam inspires us to do.

Identify the Negative Thoughts That’s Bringing You Down

The first and most foremost step is to realise the basic things that disturb you regarding your single marital status. Then using Hikmah, overcome that notion with a highly productive and halal thing in life to turn your sad days into blissful ones.

I have listed below major thoughts that come to mind and lure us towards negativity. Hunt them down, sisters – with antidotes! – before they hunt you down.

1. What good I am if am not married in youthful age?
2. Oh! What would become of me if I cross 25! I’ll get even older.
3. How will I enjoy my life if I am not married soon?
4. Oh no! What would my relatives say! She finished her studies but she’s still not married?!
5. Why has Allah (glorified and exalted be He) put me through this?
6. I have to hunt a husband soon or I’ll be too old to get married one day.
7. Am I not pretty?
8. I am a failure…
9. Maybe I should give up the hijab!
10. And so on…

If none of these thoughts have ever crossed your mind, Masha Allah and Subhan Allah, congratulations on your firm belief in Allah (glorified and exalted be He) and His works.

But if any of these thoughts has crossed your mind, be alert sister! You are suffering from a state which paralyses your soul and halts productivity in beautiful Muslimahs – Muslimahs who probably can make a good difference in this world or someone’s life. Remember, shaytan’s greatest enemy is the soul that is most pleasing and dutiful to Allah (glorified and exalted be He), so he tries to dishearten you and spoil your life.

This is where you need to be wise and patient. For Allah (glorified and exalted be He) orders in Qur’an, “Say: “Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us; He is our Protector”. And upon Allah let the believers rely.” [Qur’an Chapter 9: Verse 51].

6 Antidotes to Negative Thoughts & Sadness

1. Dedicate your youth to Allah (glorified and exalted be He) if a husband hasn’t come yet

   The reasons for not being able to get married yet can vary, but just because marriage hasn’t come to you yet, it does not mean that your youth – or your whole life – is wasted, sister. If you regret losing time in waiting for a spouse, then turn the tables by dedicating your youthful single days to Allah’s cause and obedience.
   This way you won’t feel sad nor regret losing beautiful days. In fact, if Allah (glorified and exalted be He) is with you every day, what have you lost? After all, among the seven who would be provided shade under His shade on the day is the youth who grew up worshipping Allah (glorified and exalted be He). [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

2. Start a noble project
   

   You’re only young once. Would you really let it slip away while you mourn over being single, or would you rather do something productive for the sake of Allah (glorified and exalted be He)? Once again, turn the tables over and start an amazing project. Let this project be one that is beneficial for both your present time in the dunya and the akhirah.
   Maybe you could start on a noble project that you can pass on to your children and further generations as legacy. One idea is to produce a copy of handwritten Qur’an using beautiful calligraphy. I’m sure you can think of many more ideas!

3. Don’t pay heed to what others say. Allah (glorified and exalted be He) is your Protector and Caretaker
   

   I know that family pressures tend to bubble up and make your life unhappy. In the words of someone I interviewed for this article, “It’s not easy with these destructive relatives; but I focus on what I have, not on what I do not have, and definitely not on others’ opinions about me. But you know how it is – their words do get to you in a painful way and you can’t help not getting affected by it. So allow yourself to be upset but pick yourself up and simply move on. That’s how I do it.”
   Remember that pain is just a state of mind. You can think your way out of everything, even pain. Try not to involve yourself in arguments, avoid the company of negative people, be wise and exit an uncomfortable situation politely. And if you feel burdened, pray, “Our Lord! Lay not upon us such a burden as You did lay upon those before us.” [Qur’an: Chapter 2, Verse 286]

4. Know you’re special and were born with an aim in this world
   

   We are special, sisters! The special creation of Allah (glorified and exalted be He) with an aim in this world. There’s nothing wrong with your face or mind or hijab or your nose to be honest. Our life, though filled with not-so-pleasant moments sometimes, is a gift from Allah (glorified and exalted be He). We’ll always be tested. There will be tears but there will also be laughter and love. You have the right to live your life however you want it to. Marriage isn’t something you can force. Trust in Allah’s plan for you and be strong.

5. Take the education route

   Take advantage of the time and freedom you have and invest in education. It could be a language course or a degree. Don’t miss out on the time. Make Hazrat Aisha (may Allāh be pleased with her) your role model and pursue education with noble passion and zeal. She is considered one of the great female scholars in Islam. This is your opportunity to educate yourself in the best manner for the sake of becoming a good educated mother and a wife in the future, In sha Allah.

6. Know that there has to be a reason why Allah (glorified and exalted be He) has chosen this for you
   

   To believe in Allah (glorified and exalted be He) requires total faith in His Actions and what he wills for you. Try to sit alone for a few minutes and talk to your soul. Then reason with your heart and inform your nafs that there is a reason why Allah (glorified and exalted be He) has chosen this situation for you.
   Maybe He desires that you fulfill a very important task in life for His sake, so He decrees that you stay single till you have achieved that aim? Or maybe He wants to reward you with something great and this ordeal is a test for you. So make istighfar as much as you can, and make dua to your Lord to grant you victory and peace and fill your heart with serenity and love. Then make lots of dua for your future spouse’s khair.
   And always say, “O My Lord, Whenever you wish for me to be married, let it be for good and happiness”.

Some Final Words of Comfort

If you wish to recite dua from Qur’an, take refuge in this verse: “And those who say,”Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.” [Qur’an: Chapter 25, Verse 74]

If you fill your heart with love for Allah (glorified and exalted be He) and His Rasool (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him), I can guarantee that all these hurdles and troubling thoughts concerning marriage will perish and you will see yourself as a productive Muslimah who is making a difference in the world of Allah (glorified and exalted be He).

May Allah (glorified and exalted be He) be your Light, my Light, our Light. Ameen.

...because i'm 20 something...

I came across this very inspiring and insightful post on fb. I thought i was the only one in hustle of the whole 'age' thing, but after reading THIS blog i realized there are many others riding the same boat as me...

Here is what she wrote:

when i was thirteen, i couldn’t wait to be eighteen.  i thought i’d know it all by then- have all the answers and that prized freedom. and when i was sixteen, i planned to be married by age twenty-three with two kids. i’ll always smile to myself when i think about how time changes things. and when i turned twenty four i made a list of as many goals as i had in years. by my 25th birthday, i’d accomplished them all.

and a funny thing happens about the time you turn twenty.five. people start asking about marriage and kids and houses. and you begin to worry about savings, retirement, and health insurance.  you start spending your money on plates.pots.new tires. short term sacrifices for long term gains, right? and sometimes you start to compare your 25 years with everyone else’s. you wonder if you’re on the right track because it’s different from all the people you’re surrounded by. you start going to your friends’ weddings and buying baby gifts for second birthdays.  and suddenly you realize you’re at the exact age that seemed so far away just five years ago.

i’ve always liked including myself in the 20.something. category.  growing up, but not quite grown up. you’re an adult, but still recognize that you’re part kid. i’ve enjoyed the navigating of adulthood and all of my new first time experiences. a new job. my first ‘grown-up’ paycheck. growth. being old enough to rent a car. but it seems like the older i’ve gotten, the more aware i’ve become of my short-lived stay in the ‘twenties’ and the pressure to fit the mold of all of the rest of the twentyfivers.

i’ve started to think about how easy it is to become controlled by our age. and the expectation of what your age signifies to everyone else. how old you should be by the time you graduate.buy your first house. get married. have kids. start your retirement. suddenly it seems like there are all these benchmarks to meet, even when they don’t match the goals you are trying to reach.

forget molds.

because as easy it is to forget, you’re free to do what you want with your life. the problem is, that can be quite the responsibility, to live your life the way you want to, rather than they way you are expected to. especially if that means taking a big jump. and especially when that jump may feel like a free fall.  maybe quit your first job and go back to school if that feels right. get married or don’t. maybe you drop out of school or chop off your hair. maybe you change your mind. end  a relationship that no longer serves you. become a different person.maybe you move away or move back home. or maybe you’re scared to do these things because it’s uncomfortable and unexpected. maybe it’s because you don’t know if everything would fall into place or you’re scared what that would mean if it did.

and when you’re in your twenties, i hope you buy a plane ticket to paris. i hope you get lost wandering all of the streets. i hope you travel the world and read lots of new books.  i hope you have interesting conversations over warm cups of tea.  i hope you drink out of mason jars while dancing barefoot in the grass. i hope you have a water fight in central park. set goals and change them. quit your day job. i hope you don’t do any of these things or that you do them all.write a book. change your mind. start new friendships and let go of the ones that you need to. say goodbye to all of the things that have kept you stagnant and vow to keep moving forward.

i hope your fifties mean going back to school or starting yoga. i hope your forties include falling in love with someone new- a friend, child, or partner.  i hope you stay up all night laughing with your friends. and when you’re thirty, learn something new. i hope your life is one of wisdom and youth, adventure and old age- no matter what year it was that you were born.

but what i really mean to say is that I hope you aren’t held back because of a number. and that you don’t rush into things because it feels like time is slipping by. i hope you do what’s right for you.   hold on. slow down. and breathe in. your age is your age. but more importantly, your life is your life. don’t change your journey so that it matches someone elses. we need to walk different paths so the whole world can be explored. revel in the differences. and enjoy where you are.

here. right here.

Card Making

It is always nice to give away handmade cards to people who are special to you. Here is one i made, its pretty simple, any one can do it ( even an 8 year old ) :D doesn't require special skills, just a little but of cutting and wrapping and you're done!

Things you need: 

1. A thick paper for card making ( any paper would do )
2. Another Colored Paper for Card Frame ( Can be thick or thin )
3. Plenty of Crepe Paper to wrap around the frame 
4. Another colored paper for heart shape and spirals
5. Scissors
6. Glue Stick
7. Water colors ( not necessary/up to you)
8. Scaled ruler to measure and cut out the paper and frame

Step 1: Cut out a 4 x 8 inch thick paper ( or any size you want, bigger or smaller ). Make sure one dimension is the double of another so that you can fold it into a square.

Step 2: Cut out the frame for the paper, measure the outside of the frame to be same as that of your card so it can fit on the edges of the card. Cut out the strip about half an inch off the crepe paper and wrap the frame with crepe paper as shown below.

Step 3: Select another colored paper ( any color you want ) and scrunch it to make it wrinkly.   Cut out a heart shape from this paper ( only after scrunching it )

Step 4: Glue it all together ! Voila , you re done! :D
Step 5: Give yourself a pat on the shoulder ( not kidding -_- )
I did it in a hurry, you can be neater =]

INDONESIAN CUISINE : Ayam Penyet

I got the privilege to try out this new restaurant in Seri Iskander (near Ipoh, Malaysia) known as "Ayam Penyet". In Bahasa Melayu ( Malaysian Language) as well as Indonesian language Ayam means Chicken, I'm not quite sure what Penyet means.

Anyway i went to this restaurant with a group of friends and we tried Ayam Penyet, a well known Indonesian dish. The specialty of this dish is that the chicken is coated with a crispy coating first and then it is deep fried. It is served with a red sauce (spicy) known as ' Sambar' and some friend Tofu. To beautify it, they add sprinkles of golden brown fried onion on top of the chicken. You can eat it as it is or with plain boiled rice. If you like to excite your taste buds with new dishes, this one is definitely good for you. 

It looks a little something like this :D

Ritter Sport - Who doesn't love chocolate?

Who doesn't love chocolate? Well if you are someone who doesn't, there is certainly something wrong with you! (Jk.....NOT) :P
I've been wanting to write about this chocolate on my blog for a long time, well today i am!
So the first time  i tried RITTER SPORT, was because of my very dear friend, (who keeps on bringing the coolest gifts ever whenever she drops by). The first flavor i tried was 'Corn Flakes', yes the yellow one! and i found it totally OmnomnomIOUS.... The chocolate just melts in your mouth like a thick chocolate cream. All i can say about this chocolate is that i am totally in love with it. And if you are a chocolate lover, you should definitely give it a try.

The brand of chocolate is German, and everyone knows Swiss and German chocolates are the best xD So why not give it a try. It comes in different flavors, you can either get one whole big squared pack or mini small packs or whatever you want :D

Diana Of London Foundation review

Hollywood- Sylvestar Stallone's Dream

 Here's an interesting story i came across on Fb, thought of sharing it on my blog too!!

This is one of the SADDEST stories ever told in Hollywood.

 His name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day,Stallone was a struggling actor in every definition. At some point,he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes,he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. He didnt have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.

Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY. He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in the movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR. 

They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". He left with his script. Afew weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be
IN THAT MOVIE.

After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture,Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever!

And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold
his dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25 only! And he finally got his dog back!

And today,the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog JUST BECAUSE he couldnt even feed it anymore,is one of the GREATEST Movie Stars who ever walked the Earth!

Being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I've been there too many times!

Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are a NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough world. If you aint already famous,or rich or "connected",You will find it rough.
Doors will be shut on You. People will steal your glory and crash your hopes.You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. And then your hopes will be crashed.You will be broke. Damn broke. You will do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And Yes,you may end up sleeping in the streets.

It happens. Yes,it does.

BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. Whatever happens to You,Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes,Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away,Keep Dreaming. Even when they shut you down,Keep Dreaming. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have. But please,Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the dogs,ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE,Your STORY IS NOT OVER. TRUST ME. Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive. Go gerrit.

International Iftar at UTP

Today was the 'International Iftaar Day' at UTP (universiti teknologi petronas). Its my third ramadan here but a very first time to attend such an event. Turned out pretty amazing and the food was so delicious. There were over 8 countries presenting their yummilicious food.including Egypt Iran Turmenistan Pakistan,Yemen,South Aftrica,Vietnam etc.
The interesting part was that this was all organized by the students and they all did it really well !! The event was not only about food but also the culture and environment, there was a quiz regarding Islamic history and prizes were given to the  the ones who gave correct answers. Overall it was a good experience to break fast with a lot of people; not only muslims but also non-muslims which was uniquely awesome in its own way

I captured a few dishes, couldn't capture them all cause it soon got all rushy as Athan was anounced!

Enjoy the pictures and  Ramadan kareem=)

Can't live without Coffee?

Whose up for a cup of Coffeee?????? :D 

 

I don't have enough words to tell how much i love COFFEE! Normally at home i love to do my coffee the traditional way; by beating it with sugar and water until its color turns light brown (and roasting the mixture ) before pouring milk in, but i do not likely have the time to do it that way while during the semester =(

So i just use the boring INSTANT coffee mix!! Thumbs up to the Slave of Addiction?Hit the like button ;)

Anyway a couple of months back i got introduced to this instant coffee mix. This is so good, and by good i mean its so foamy. I can tell you would be surprised when you pour in the hot water!
Whats special about this brand is that unlike other instant coffee mixes it feels more real and is thicker...like a real cappuccino. So those who love coffee with milk would totally dig it !



A NOTE TO ALL THE COFFEE LOVERS OUT THERE : Drink it sip it lick it but remember "Excess of everthing is bad" So keep it moderate. Coffee is good (specially if its a decaff) but too much of coffee is bad for health! Keep the dose of Calcium high on everyday diet, cause Coffee sucks the calcium outta your bones!

THE BODY SHOP: Body Moisturizers Review

I guess my love for strawberries will never die, i can eat em, gobble em, rub em all over myself and still not get enough of em :D

Owning a Strawberry Body Butter from THE BODY SHOP is a pleasure to me... ;)  (thumbs up to the exaggeration).

I Totally LOVE Scents like crazy; this particular body butter is scented and so it falls in my love category....( Love in bold tells the gravity of my love for it ;) )

Whats so good about this fruity creamy body butter?

• It hydrates your skin very well even if you apply a little yet adequate amount.
• It doesn't feel heavy like those thick creams. 
• It doesn't give an oily effect to the skin
• The scent lasts for a long time. ( Thumbs up to Sniffers, and it does smell like real strawberry seeds --> yumm..)
• The product is against animal testing :D ( I'm an animal lover so it's one thing that i consider good about this product )

You can get a regular size for $20. Its worth the money you spend on it.

Comments:

The product is nice to use even as a night cream ( on your hands and feet or legs or where ever you want), you do not necessarily have to use it only when your skin is scraping off :P
I personally love the strawberry scented how ever there are other best sellers too... you can check them out HERE along with the pricing.

This product is not for face so please get a separate one for your face :D

MAYBELLINE New York: ClearSMOOTH Shine Free Face Powder Trial

MAYBELLINE FOR ASIAN SKIN

Maybelline is an American Makeup Brand, owned by L'Oréal. They have a variety of Makeup products.
Recently I got a ClearSMOOTH Shine-Free Face powder for trial and it turned out pretty good. As i  mentioned before my skin type is combination,  [T-Zone] and for a tropical weather in Malaysia, its so so so so important to keep a face powder with you all the time! Specially for people with oily skin ! ( It gets really annoying ) Anyway why i recommend this specific product is for a number of reasons that i'll share with you 

xD ..

WHY MAYBELLINE ClearSMOOTH???

• It gives a totally natural look and is available in many shades for asian skin :D
• It gives a good oil-control for a longer time ( my experience around 8 hours in tropical weather)
• Its doesn't give a 'CAKEY' effect to your face
• Feels light and natural...You can wear it over your sunblock and you won't even feel heavy
• Lasts longer on the skin and gives a smooth and monotonous look ( I guarantee that ) :P
• It comes with SPF 18++, 
• Its Cheap-but-Decent choice.

What I did NOT like about this product is the puff, which is too thin and does not have the strip on the top to hold the puff in the right way. However this is still good for the price of the product itself :D (Let's be a little less demanding here ;) )

TIPS:

1. If you have dry skin, try to apply a face moisturizer prior to applying this product. Or you could even apply your liquid/cream/mousse foundation prior to it.

2. Be careful not to apply it under the eye because the skin is thin and dry around that area, so you wouldn't wanna make it more dry.

MAC Brush Review - Must Have Brushes for Eye Makeup Freaks!!

I am a total eye makeup freak! If you are one too, you've got to get these brushes!

MAC 239: Eye Shader Brush
For the inner eye and eye lids, This brush can really make the eye shadow look concentrated and bold on your eye lids. Its firm yet flexible at the same time. Its also used to highlight the brow bones with a lighter (preferably shimmer) shade.

MAC 275:Medium Angled Shading Brush
For outer eye, area about eye crease and to the sides under the brow. This brush really defines your crease well, and since its tapered, its easy to use,even for an unprofessional. And its THE BEST for blending the colors from crease into the lid.

MAC Fluid Eye Liner Brush :You can use this for upper lid or lower lid,  Its convenient to use rather than those thin eye liner brushes. This one comes in a package with the tiny MAC Fluidline Eyeliner bottle. I love this brush cause its great for smudging my liner on the lower lid. ( i personally like that look.)
(you can see it in the second picture )

Why MAC ?

I've been using these two brushes for over a year now, and they are still good. If you take care of them, they probably wont wear off in even 2 years. But its always good to replace brushes after a year or so, its more hygenic! xD

KINTA CITY : Sightseeing in Malaysia (Perak)

Kinta city is a new center of attraction for sightseeing at night ( that's what i went for mainly) But they also have a variety of food (Malaysian, Chinese, Western) by the riverside. The view at night was totally amazing and i couldnt resist taking images! .

[Located in iPoh, Perak, Malaysia.]

How to get more lives in Candy Crush on your s3,iPhone,iPad?

I'm having a biggest addiction of this fairly new game called CANDY CRUSH. The fever started when i started receiving many notifications from my friends on Facebook, to send them a life and stuff!
So anyway when i started playing i got completely hooked onto it !

Just before i complete a level and i run out of lives, my eyes roll into the top right corner saying " NEXT LIFE IN 5.blabla Minutes". And i totally HATE IT!!!

I'm sure many people go on around asking others to send them lives, well guess what?? You dont have to do that anymore! GET UNLIMITED LIVES !!

HOW? 
Just go to your phone settings > Time and Date Settings> Change time to 3 hours ahead.
 (for example if its 5 pm change it to 8 pm. )
Open candycrush and your lives will be full!
You'll have to keep repeating that !

When you want to change time back to normal, make sure you're lives are full before changing the time back to normal.:)

Loreal Paris - Ultimate Gloss

Another pair of items off shelf... I love these loreal lip glosses. They really give you a final touch up when you're going for any event!!! Like...'Any event '
So what I tried on was glamor and sweet pink... You can wear these two colors just with any theme /colored dress and it will just make it look perfect.

The best thing about the gloss is that it's thick and it's not going to wear off in matter of minutes (unless you're trying too hard to wipe it off)  :P

So it's not just the color its also the amazing shine that comes with it. It has this fine glitter which gives a really lush look.

Ramadan Day 3

Thumbs up to Desi Food in Foreign xD

LANEIGE -(Water Supreme Primer Base) Review

 BEST FOUNDATION BASE FOR COMBINATION SKIN TYPE!

A new flashy function, party, celebration coming up? And you are worried about how to keep up your makeup last longer? LANEIGE solves the problem!!

I've been trying out Primers from various brands but not many suited my skin, since I've got a combination skin type ( T-Zone to be specific ). But then i just walked into this cosmetic store and thought about giving this Korean brand a try. (Picture to the left )
I can't describe how amazing this product is, i am totally in love with it!!

You just wash your face in the routine way and apply this before applying foundation or make up of any type!

The best part is that this primer can be used as an Eye Make up Primer as well.

A thought...

Why is the WEST much advanced than the EAST?

IKEA : The furniture i fell in love with

I recently moved into a new fully furnished apartment, as i entered i totally fell in love with the furniture. Even though the apartment is small but it can accommodate everything that a person could possibly imagine! I was truly impressed by the choice of furniture; WHY? Cause it wasn't just an ordinary furniture but it was IKEA. 

I decided i wanted to have a look at their store so i went there...And as i went there, i swear all i wanted was an empty house of my own that i could fill with the READY-TO-ASSEMBLE IKEA furniture.So here are a few details i picked while i paved my way through the store

WHY IKEA??

• Their furniture is the most compact (more accommodation in lesser area)
• They use the best materials (fire proof wood,metals resistant to corrosion)
• They TEST their furniture after they design it and  before they sell it - meaning their furniture is really really reliable.
• Its affordable  and worth each penny.
• MOST IMPORTANTLY: IKEA furniture will pay off whatever you invest in it! it's a long lasting furniture...

To give my viewers an insight i captured a few images, have a look, and Enjoy! :D

TECHNOLOGY THEY USE: So you can see they have two hydraulic cylinders here, and two wooden blocks hitting onto the chair as if a real person is sitting, the load given by cylinders is around 90 Kg. When i went there, the counter was already 130000 something :D

A complete Lifestyle: IKEA loves to add tiny details to your life. I totally ADORE candles... and i got crazy when i saw so many of them around me !!!
