• Finally wearing something appropriately @styled.by.susie This personal styling business has changed my life! I had an Online Analysis done last year with Styled By Susie after seeing @the_organised_mum rave about Susie’s services and it really made a difference to my life. I’ve been analysed as an Autumn Hourglass with an Edgy personality which if you know me I’m really not, but I’m starting to embrace it! Pre SBS I would never have picked up a biker jacket or white trainers but I trusted the recommendations and have been making small changes and 😱 even been wearing earrings! All of this has happened at a very slow pace but the confidence my analysis has given me to put things together and feel happy in myself is priceless! Just for transparency, I’m also an Admin on the Styled By Susie Facebook page but this is not a paid role. The Facebook group is free to join and we have 9.5k members and is a wealth of information and advice if you’re feeling stuck in a rut for fashion advice or need a boost of confidence from like minded women. Every woman needs @styled.by.susie and @sarahlillystyle in their life!
  • The famous £15 perfume! It's real name is Jazzab Ladies (it comes in a men's version too so you and your sweetie can match). Oh my goodness, was this perfume hyped last year by @the_perfume_closet but it lives up to the hype! For £15, this is incredibly sweet smelling and is supposedly a dupe for Armani Si which retails for much more. I loved it so much I ordered some for my mum and mother in law for Mothers Day last year, and my Mother In Law reported that she got so many compliments on her perfume which is the highest compliment any Daughter In Law coud hope for! (That and she's a good cook - still working on that haha!) So if you're looking for a reasonably priced gift for the females or males in your life, I would highly recommend Jazzab. Plus it looks really pretty on your dressing table! . . . . . . . . . . . . #30plusblogs #desiblogger #lbloggers #lbloggersuk #pakistaniblogger #thegirlgang #ukblogger #theeverygirl #littlestoriesofmylife #reallifeandstyle #theperfumecloset #myperfumecloset #jazzab #perfumelovers #simplyhumairabeauty #scentoftheday #instaperfume #perfumecollection #fragrances #perfumecollection #perfumelovers
  • I solemnly swear to take care of my skin in Ramadan. To be honest, I've been doing the bare minimum as the fasts are so long and the time between Iftar and Sehri is so short, it's a miracle if I even manage to take my makeup off after work! I recently got some old favourites and some new products from @millionairebeauty #notsponsored and I can't wait to try out the 5 Minute Wake Me Up mask and the Super Nova Oil. I've been a huge fan of this brand since discovering it 2 years ago and I credit my skin for looking half decent Alhamdulillah because of my religious use of the Peptide Pro Rebalancing Serum and the City Defence Vitamin C Moisturiser. I'm a huge fan of the Lip and Eye Rescue and the Exfoliating Lip Butter Scrub which transforms dry flakey lips in minutes and over time can even change the pigmentation of your lips! So this time, I'm trying to work through my existing products to get to these products and review them for you. Have you tried these from the @millionairebeautyuk range?
  • Ramadan is nearly a week in and whether you are able to fast or not, we can all say even in small ways we feel a change. . Even if you’re just on the treadmill of life finding 5 minutes of quiet time to reflect and really take in the majesty of the month of Ramadan is OK. . Ramadan has become so commercialised and so competitive the spirit of the month of sharing and just being with others to feel something you don’t feel the other 11 months is something that should be placed first. . I know for myself Ramadan caught me totally off guard and with the bank holidays in between I feel like I’m only now catching my breath and trying to reflect on the time that’s passed between last Ramadan and this Ramadan. . How have I changed as a person and what am I going to change between now and the end of Ramadan? . Let’s all take a minute to slow down, take a deep breath and reflect on the gift of being alive and being present to be able to celebrate Ramadan this year. . I know I’m really ashamed at not being more present in the community and due to distance not being able to go to the mosque for Tarawih prayers at all so far but in my own small ways I am contributing. . Every time I make some food to eat for my husband when he’s fasting is me reaping the blessings of Ramadan. . Every time I try and keep a clean home even when I’m fasting I’m reaping the rewards of Ramadan. . Every time I speak on the phone to my parents or mother in law and ask about them, I’m reaping the rewards of Ramadan. . The biggest thing I’ve learned so far is intention matters and even if I don’t feel like I’m doing enough or anything at all, the little things do matter and contribute to making me feel like this month is different and special to other months. . How are you all doing in Ramadan and what are your ideas on how to help ourselves get into the Ramadan spirit?
  • Marks and Spencer Apricot and Orange Kitchen Cleaner. . Cheap, smells great and is cruelty free but does it work? . Well, sadly, No. . My husband says it smells like wet cardboard after a while and it doesn’t actually lift any grease or dirt from the kitchen after cooking so he wasn’t impressed with it. . I thought it smelled nice but I also couldn’t see any visible difference in cleaning any grease or dirt when we’d finished cooking. . Would I recommend this? . Not for cleaning but it smells nice if you want to use it for another part of the house! . Do you have any recommendations for cruelty free kitchen cleaners?
  • Michelle Obama - Becoming. 🎙 🤜 Wow, just wow! This book was incredible and listening to it on @audible_uk in her own words. Read my review to see if the books live up to the hype!
  • The latest craze is the Siliscrub, a silicon brush head that stimulates your scalp for a better shampoo, oiling or head massage experience. . But is it worth the hype? . I originally saw it on a Facebook advert retailing for £25! . When I saw it was made in China I picked up 2 for £4. . It’s not a must have in my opinion and I find when using it to aid in shampooing it just made my hair greasier but it provides a really nice head massage and is great for helping hair oil penetrate deeper into the scalp. . Is it an essential must have? . Not really! Save your money and get someone else to do it for you! 😂
  • Facetheory is a brand I found on Instagram adverts so clearly it does work on me haha! . I bought these at some point last year when they had a sale on and I bought: ✳️ Ultraide Silicone Free Face Primer - have yet to try this as my @w7makeupuk photoreeady primer is still going strong and a dupe for the Smashbox one at a quarter of the price 🙌 . ✳️ Face scrub which it seems they’re no longer selling. . ✳️ Porebright N10 Serum - I’ve opened this and used it but not consistently so I’ll need to use it a bit more to tell you if it’s worth the money. . Overall I think if you’re dipping your toes into organic, cruelty free beauty this is a good place to start. . Their packaging for postage leaves a lot to be desired but maybe because I’m used to @millionairebeautyuk bubble wrapping things to within an inch of their life 😂 . I’ll do full reviews of each of the products as I go through them but I thought I would share for anyone interested in trying something different but within a reasonable price tag. . Have you ever tried @facetheory products?
  • Wow has this bank holiday been amongst the weirder ones. . So many of my friends and family are going through such a hard time and the main thing that keeps coming up is identity. . Who are we? What are we here for and where do we go from here? . I remember when I stopped being a student and fell into work it was so hard for me to go from having my days to myself to showing up somewhere 5 days a week and dealing with the pressures of work. . Then when I was out of work for long periods of time due to personal reasons I lost my identity and people thought I was stupid for wasting my time being at home with my family. . Like I’d wasted my entire education to sit at home. . Well that time of my life with my mum together every day are some of my most precious memories and even if people have thought of me as less for not being on the hamster wheel of success or following the path society says is acceptable it hurt but it also made me stronger. . And finally when I’d lost all self confidence, hope and identity I was scared this was it. . I was going to die without ever knowing my purpose in life, without ever making a positive impact or seeing my name in lights, I realised something. . I may not be seen as successful by a lot of people. . I’m flaky, a dreamer and in my own head a lot of the time but when people need me I’m there. . My identity is to make small, incremental impacts on the world just by showing up and being positive. . My identity is to be the person who is there for you, who worries about you, who makes Dua for you and who will show up when you need me. . My identity is to be the best version of myself rather than a second rate version of someone else. . What’s your identity?
  • Ayesha Zia is a name synonymous with Luxury and until @the_perfume_closet kept mentioning it, I’d never even heard of it. . When Saj launches her website last year I knew I wanted to get one of the @ayeshaziya @shopayeshaziya perfumes and I got The One by Ayesha Zia at a delicious price. . 6 months on has it lived up to the hype? . Read my review on the blog to find out and tell me what your favourite perfume is?
