It’s definitely that time again. Gifting season! With Eid Al Adha being this month we Muslims go into our wonderful celebratory mode. It’s exciting in every way. From the good food we eat to all the wonderful family and friends we go and see. What makes Eid that little bit more special for me though, is exchanging gifts. I’ll be honest with you guys, as much as I love receiving gifts, giving them always makes me feel a little bit more excited!

A Little Gift From Me To You!

Eid is literally two days away and with last minute preparations over taking our lives, there are bound to be one or two things we end up forgetting. If one of those things happens to be Eid cards, not to worry I have got you sorted! I'm giving away free Eid card printables to you all! A little Eid gift from me to you :).

DIY Glitter Balloons

It's that time again and I can't believe it's come so soon. Eid Al Fitr literally just felt like yesterday and we're already at Eid al Adha! For those of you who don't know, as Muslims we celebrate two Eid's in a year. Yeah a little bit like two Christmas's which is really cool as we get to enjoy double the celebrations!

Makeover - DIY Persian Lamp

I haven't had these lamps for very long. I bought them on a holiday trip I took to Dubai just before I got married. I fell in love with all of the Persian lamps that seemed to be everywhere whilst we were there. They were super cheap as well compared to if I was going to buy them in London.

Loaf

You guys must know by now how much I love interior shop hunting and randomly coming across shops I have never seen before. The excitement of walking in to a new shop and "oohing" and "aahhing" all the quirky new ideas and concepts is what I do best. This a post dedicated to a store I found that had recently opened in Notting Hill.

OOTD For A Ladies Night Out

Not long ago, I attended a sisters gala called Celebrate Us. It was a ladies only event so for someone like me, who wears an Abaya, it meant I could wear what I want! The dress code was to dress up so everyone came in dresses and beautiful gowns. (If you'd like to read about how the event went, I recently wrote a post on it which you can read about here.) I couldn't show you guys any pictures of me in my dress on the actual night so I thought I'd make a separate post of my outfit details so you guys can get an idea. Here's a little OOTD of what a wore.
