Hi Friends! Over the years I have lost count of all the times I have dyed my hair bright colours, I have never in the past thought I would go for green hair but you know time changes everything right? I think I am totally inspired by the style of Beetlejuice, The Joker, and Alt influencers. Directions is a hair dye brand that I have tried on and off for many years now. I tried their red dyes when I loved them dressing rockabilly style (I still do, but I mix up my style now) I usually go for Manic Panic but the prices are more than double of these and you can get nearly 4 tubs for the price of ..read more

May was a whirlwind of a month for me. I have some not-so-straightforward decisions to make, not sure they are going to be easy but no one said life was going to be easy right? Apart from the whirlwind, it was a very productive month and I had plenty of good times that I will share with you all. One thing is for sure, this year is flying, right? Can’t believe it’s May already? I won’t complain though because I really love the warmer weather! Carry on reading to see what I got up to in May 2023. Highlights I looked after my brother-in-law’s cat Nero while he went on holiday to Dubai. Nero is ..read more

Beautaniq Beauty is a skincare brand I have never heard of before but I recently got a few months back in a Glossybox. I have tried my fair share of eye gels over the years and even though they are a brilliant thing for self-care… skincare wise they don’t make such a difference as claims say well in my opinion that is. Beautaniq Beauty is a cruelty-free skincare brand which likes to keep their ingredients as simple as possible.  All of their products are vegan friendly and contain no parabens, PEGS, phthalates or sulphates. They have a moderate selection of products from eye gels, sheet ..read more

Ever since I was a kid I have loved shopping in charity shops. They have been some wonderful memories of summers walking uptown with my mum and brother looking for clothes, shoes and toys, you never knew what you would get; sometimes they were gems! For me, a firm memory was a pair of buckled white shoes, a plaid dress and lots of Polly pockets. Since I’ve been an adult, my love for finding bargains hasn’t stopped. If anything the love for being more eco-friendly has grown! I have greatly reduced the amount I buy new. Being more sustainable is key for my life now Here are some fast fashion fac ..read more

The end of Ramadan 2023 Ramadan 2023 was one of the hardest I have ever done since I reverted to Islam in 2010. It started so well for me as I managed to fast the first two weeks easily. But I got some issues that were much too hard for me that made me hiccup near the finish line. I managed to keep 20 fasts this year, which has to be the most I have ever done, alhamdulillah. The last two weeks of Ramadan were a little bit of a blur for me. Even with the negatives that happened during the holy month, it went by so quickly. I dunno I cried, I got happy, also had a reality check of a few things ..read more

Can you believe that it’s only a few days away from Ramadan? It sure has been a quick year since the last one for me, what about you guys? This has been my 13th Ramadan and I can’t say I’ve done them all because I’ve had a couple of pregnancies in the mix, but with that said I’ve done my best over the years but I aspire to do better. I’m not the most organised when it comes to preparing for Ramadan, if anything I tend to leave it to the last minute, just like I did when I used to celebrate Christmas haha! I dunno, I kind of enjoy the chaos of doing everything last minute. I really love Ramada ..read more

Well, some decisions come later on in life, and for my training to become a make-up artist is one of them. I was going to train to do hair in my teens but life got in the way.  I then tried again in my earlier 20s training in college to do hair and beauty but my pregnancy with my daughter was complicated, so I had to drop out and think about my baby, she was born a little earlier via cesarean.  When my kids were younger the dream of doing something to do with beauty got put on the back burner for a while. But it never stopped me from enjoying make-up; whether that be applyi ..read more
