sometimes miracles come in pairs **

In life we wish for so many things. Some come true with a blink of an eye, while others need hard work to come alive, and then there are those wishes that all you have to do is just wait for the right time! these kind of wishes require a lot of patience especially when we know that it's worth the wait. Last year around this time I had one of my kept wishes come true in which I knew that after 9 months I was going to be a new mom ::^_^:: it was probably one of the most amazing moments in my life that was filled with tears of joy! then I got another surprise the kind that will make me a mother of adorable twins :) I was so happy during the whole nine months journey even during the times when I couldn't eat anything other than bread! and on Friday May 29 I knew that miracles sometimes do come in pairs ❤

I wanted my babies giveaways to be made with love - handmade :) - with a theme that ensembles "double the love" and "wishes do come true" so I ended up choosing a tag line that means "there was a beautiful dream that came true with a prayer ❤"

I hope all your dreams and wishes to come true and have a lovely Friday :)

Florals? for spring? GROUND BREAKING ..!!!

Greetings everyone :)

I hope you're enjoying this lovely time of the year as much as I am! Spring to me is just another excuse to indulge myself with florals, from clothes to scents to furniture and I can go on and on… but yeah that's how much I adore florals and flowers. Even though it's almost Summer (YAY!) there's still some time to enjoy the rest of Spring.
The other day I was looking for a floral scented bath products that's when I met Marks & Spencer's Floral Collection ❤❤



The first thing that caught my attention was the design - I tend to pay a lot of attention to small details :p and I love watercolor prints and designs - but when I smelled it!!! ooooh it was another story! I'm someone who is addicted to Rose water and that collection especially "Rose" smelled just like that! so I didn't really hesitated on buying it but unfortunately it was a new collection so most of the products of that collection were out of stock but I did get the Foaming bath and I do remember that there was a matching bag but I don't know why I didn't take it! After a while I needed to restock the foaming bath for a project that I was working on that I'll tell you about later ;) and when I went back to M&S there were a lot of products of the floral collection "Rose" but I didn't wanted to go so far I only took the foaming bath, body lotion, and spray.

Whenever I use any of them I feel like I'm in a field of roses, the smell is just so beautiful but not that heavy that you feel like you're choked by the scent. my favorite out of the 3 would be that foaming bath, it's really moisturizing and I use it as a shower gel :p and it's so good! The lotion I use it mostly for my hands, it provides a good amount of moisturizing but not an intensive one.
As for the spray I actually got it for linens and the room I just imagined the place turning into a field of roses and it's just the perfect Spring-ish smell! and as I expected it does fill my apartment with great scent, but the only downside to it is that it doesn't last for a long time! other than that I Loved it!

See you next time Lovelies! 

Have a nice day ✿

Recent Additions to my make-up ✿

Happy weekend everyone :)

I just want to say how much I miss blogging!!! it's been quite some time since my last post, but I've been recently going through a lot of changes in my life! and the biggest one is that I'm expecting new addition to my family ❤❤ so it's been a little bit of a challenge to sort things around especially TIME! But it's SPRING time - which is possibly my favorite time of the year, not too hot but not too cold and the flowers everywhere is just perfect! 


in this post I'd like to share with you my recent additions to my make-up collection! it's been a while since I updated my collection, so it's time to do so! I'm planning on trying new things every month because the 4 coming months are filled with celebrations! YAAY! So far my additions are: the Beauty Blender ❤ Gosh foundation, Dior mascara, H&M lip pen and eye pen.

Ever since H&M introduced their Beauty line, I've been wanting to get something I would just stare at every beauty product in their App and just hope to get it - but it looks like there are millions who had the same wish!! I wanted to try their blushes, bronzers, eyeshadows but nooo it was all out of stock!! But I fell in love with their "Beauty Pens" so I got one for eyes and one for lips!! the eye pen is a shimmery pink gold soft color, I've been using it in so many ways like eyeshadow, inner eye corner brightener, upper lip highlighter and sometime to give some sparkle to my lower lashes - it's obvious I love it! the lip pen is not red as it shows in the pics :p it's almost a hot pink it gives quite a good color, I sometimes use it for whole lips and sometimes just as a lip liner (it's hard to do so because it's huge!! :p) both were a good deal costing almost 2 BD each! Lip pen here - Eye Pen here 

My must have make-up item is mascara! I was going on a mascara hunt and I didn't have this one in mind but once I tried it I fell in love with it and I didn't hesitate to buy it! but theeeen reality hit me its color is kohl black! do you know what that means? it's the darkest thing I've ever tried which is good but when removing it OMG! it's the Panda situation!! I can't really say that I LOVE this mascara but it's not like I HATE it, it's a bitter sweet love :p I just need some more practice to master applying it!

but then again maybe I'm comparing it to my last one which was Lancome it was PERFECTION! I got it as a promo with a perfume and it was the best thing ever - it lengthens and gives a beautiful volume but sometimes when I needed more dramatic look I would use Givenchy. Both were amazing but I wanted to try something else! I got Dior (Diorshow Black out - Kohl)  for 17 BD, Givenchy ( Noir Couture 4 in 1) for 15 BD both from Sephora.
(in the pic: Dior , Givenchy, Lancome)

For a long time I've been looking for a beautiful foundation and when I decide to go get one and try them there was always a reason that I get back home empty handed!! and finally I tried this foundation from Gosh cosmetics - I love their products, I've tried nail polish, lipstick and eyeshadow and all were to die for! - and as I started using it I realized that it was a huge disappointment!!! first it's a light reflecting and I'm an oily skin kinda person, so you you can always expect a disco ball on my face after a while!! plus the shade was not the right match for me!! I give this foundation a lot of chances that I might have applied it an a wrong way!! and for the last time I'll be giving it a chance with THE beauty blender and I hope it won't disappoint me! I got it from lifestyle for around 8 BD.

 Last but not least is the Beauty Blender ❤❤ :p excuse my hearts because these are my very recent purchases I just got it last week and I can't wait to try them! I've been wanting to get one for a long time BUT it wasn't available here in Bahrain (my country) so I had to wait or order it online and I finally after searching and searching I found the perfect online shopping website that was actually a Bahraini so I thought YES I'll get it, then at the same time I went to Sephora and I saw a booth for the beauty blender! but of-course it was out of stock but I asked for how much they were and it was fate that made it out of stock because it was 1.5 BD more than the ones from the website (Mrs.Kim: so easy to order from and nice customer service!) so I ended up ordering these twins!! I'll let you know what happens when I try them. did you like it ? is it like what I imagine it to be?

so that's it for my newest additions and plans for the future are a new powder since mine is dyeing but I want to get another one because it was a favorite, whenever I use it I fall all over again but I want to try something else! is there a good competitor to MAC? I'm thinking of chanel or dior still haven't decided yet! what do you think?? and what are your recent additions?

have a nice day
xoxo

DIY - Lip scrub !!

Happy thursday everyone :D today I thought I would share with you something I've recently became addicted to! which is a lip scrub - I've been looking for "the" best lip scrub, a lot of people recommended a DIY scrub so I thought let's try that! I've been using it now for almost two months and I can tell you I am 100% in love with how my lips look and feel! it's simple, effective and you can always refill it ;p the main two products for a simple lip scrub would be sugar and oil and that's it but as I was searching I found some who said that you can add just about what you like so here is how I did mine, we will need:
- Normal sugar (some say they use powder sugar but it gave me a paste sort of thing! so I went to normal one) - 2 tbs
- Olive oil (or any oil you wish) - ½ or 3/4 tbs
- Rose water (because I know how beneficial it is to beauty purposes - and that is my personal addition to the scrub ;p) - 3-6 drops as you like
- food color (just a fun addition and to make it look professional!) - 3 drops
- container

first add the sugar and then the oil gradually and make sure that sugar is always greater than the oil or else it will be too greasy >_< we defiantly don't want that! and this is how it's gonna look like

then add the rose water and the color, mix them all together and you have your lovely lip scrub!! you can also add flavor but I didn't like it :p

and to get the best out of this scrub I put a lip butter on before sleeping because it gives my lips intensive moister and when I wake up I scrub my lips gently but making sure that every dead cell or flake is removed and then I apply a lip balm just because the sugar makes you feel like your lips are dry!

Trust me you will fall in love with your lips ! I know I did ;)
enjoy your weekend !

My first wall art!!

a while ago when my sister moved to her new room :p in which I felt like it was missing a wall art touch! so I promised her that I will do her a beautiful piece to decorate her coral pink room! I was pleased with what I managed to create but after I printed it out OMG!!! I couldn't be anymore proud! I sometimes doubt my abilities and that was the first time in which I saw a clear result of what I can do!! I'm so happy and I know that that poster will not be my last!

what do you think?  

Happy Eid week :)

Happy Monday everyone, last week was a  very special one since it was Eid time!! and to me Eid is all about family, food, and fashion. I spent 5 days in a row just gathering with family, my family side or my husband's side and to sum these five days all I can say is they were FUN! ugh I just love Eid and everything about it, even though every where gets to be super crowded but everyone is entitled to enjoy this lovely time if the year! in Eid day the sun seems brighter and everyone wears a smile along side with their new outfits! ! As for me I wanted my outfit to be girlie - hint: a dress! I wanted something fresh and colorful and I found a good material but after I got it I wasn't really sure that it was going to be what I imagine it to be - after it was ready I fell in love with it, it was summery, full of color and girlie!! and for the first time in my life -probably- I paired that dress with a match-y match bag and shoes!! something I would never do, but it was pretty nice change! Also I wanted to keep things simple so I didn't really go that far with accessories I wore a gold set with a white watch and that was it! As for makeup it was also simple with lovely pink lipstick and golden green eyeliner!

FAVes !!

Hello lovely people!!
I've been wanting to do this post for a very long time but every time I start I just feel like mmm no not this time, and just about the other day I felt like YES I should do this post! I've always been a "dear diary" kinda person, I love writing down what special things happen in my life or what goes around me and after sometime you just go back to remember all these warm and fuzzy memories! No wonder I fell in love with blogging -duh!! :p- So there were few people in this internet "blogging" world that were very inspiring to me without them knowing that!! I just wish that someday I'll influence someone just like what they did to me! I do follow a lot of bloggers and vloggers and I get so excited when they post something new but I will name only 3 here because I really am obsessed with their posts - if I can say that!!

my first inspirational person is -drum rolls- missglamorazzi
she is a very genuine person outgoing, so passionate about everything in life!! I know she's a vlogger but still she inspires me to just go forward with my blog I just relate to her so much! I recently got to know her youtube channel in the new year, which is like 6 months ago but ever since I've been so addicted to her videos!! I have to be honest I was into blogging a long time before knowing about missglamorazzi but she became my number one because … I just relate to her and besides her channel is like 5 years old!! that's super big number right?!!

My second best is ….. mariannan
what can I say about marianna!! I knew her blog like 2 years ago and she was the biggest influencer that made me set my mind into getting into the blogging world! I mean in one week I saw all of her posts, which go back to like 2 years and they were FULL of adventure and while reading the post I felt like I was living with her or something like that :p I got a lot of emotions through her post timeline like one minute happy the second eyes full of tears because she did accomplish some amazing things!! in short she's a real inspiration!!

and my last but not least fav is … pastrymaker
I know instagram is not anywhere near blogging but this person through her account she turned that passion in my to just do what I love doing and to just do it! I was a little surprised that she lives near by but it just gave me more energy to believe that if she can do it then so can I, because sometimes I really feel like I need a huge push to do what's on my mind and she simply did that. I also tried her victoria cake without know that she was the one who did it but OMG!! that was a piece of heaven! so delicious.

with all that being said I LOVE knowing more and more bloggers, vloggers and anyone who is passionate about life! so tell me who do you follow or like?
and until next time I wish you a joyFULL week :)
