February recap; Phew!

Salam everybody!

Oh wow, I did not expect that it would be so hard for me to actually find the time to blog!

Yes, unfortunately I am still with the same excuse-

always so occupied and tired when the day ends. 

It's already almost the end of March..

..and my February was nice-

the best friend and I attended a Hijab Event that was organized by Prudential. 

*this photo below is courtesy of the bestie <3

As a Mirian you should know that it is actually the krill season! Bubok as we call it here hehehe.
So I got the chance to actually be at the market to help sell those tiny krill!
You'd be surprised like I do if you ever look at the amount of people who came and bought the krill.

I also get to see (for the first time in my life!) alive fresh krill, LOL!
You can watch the short video I took on my Instagram:]

Other than that..
what else did I do on February..
Ohh ohh, it was the bestie's birthday; too bad I couldn't do anything extra special on her day this year..
but I finally managed to get her a belated birthday gift - apart from spending the day with her (as usual!)
Here's my love with her helium dolphin!

I also finally have the time to sort out my pins again..

I personally feel that this is the most useful case for all my pins cuz of all the compartments it has..
The only downside to it is the cover; it is easily opened, so it spills out sometimes!
..and when that happens (happened three times already:/) it gets tedious as ever.

After some time not having my OOTD photos taken..
Here's one!

Things to be grateful for this month;
(apart from other blissful things and events and whatnots)


My FAVORITE OF ALL TIMES;

The Magic Faraway Tree!!!!
So happy when I saw the paperback version of this book,
I know I just NEED to have it as a collection!

Also, another good friend got me some goodies:D 

..not to forget these!!

They came all the way from Bintulu via mail, lol.

3 cans from Kak Buddy & 3 cans from Jojoe's cousin. 

Worry not, 

I am not gonna finish them all by myself. 

Teeheee. 

So..

yeappp.

I think that's pretty much it!

They're of course other highlights in February..

but I can't put them all here. 

For my readers who has been missing me here; 

I have to admit that I am really truly sorry for not updating that much anymore. 

But I promise you I'll share a huge good news (maybe?) with you people very soon, okay!

Lots of love for my dearest readers,
I'll blog again soon!
:)

Finally up; how I wear my hijab!:)

Salam & Hello,

my dear readers!

People have been requesting for me to put up a tutorial on how do I wear my hijab,

and it is finally here!

It's too hard for me to do it myself, so the bestie helped me with the photos :D

Initially I wanted to make a video, but it's even more tedious to do so..

Here you go, 

my everyday hijab tutorial. 

Get your shawl ready, 

and I'll try my very best to explain to you how I do it!

First, have your shawl shorter on one side, and leave the longer one down. 

(Okay I have a feeling that I am bad in explaining this but I do hope the photos will help!eeek)

I always have my shawl folded like so, cuz I think it makes the front part look nicer when it's folded.

Then I took the shorter side & pinned it right to the side; close to the spectacles frame like so. 

I hate pinning my shawls to the middle, cuz it makes me feel like something is choking me lol. 

..then I took the loose part ( the longer side) and fold it again. 

..to make a neat looking side fold.

..continue pulling it up to the top of your head,

..and bring it all the way back to the side after pretty much "wrapping" your head in it. 

(hahaha)

..take a small pin,

..and secure it in place. 

..by now, it's actually almost done;

all you need to do is to just fix here and there just a bit more to make it look neater. 

..and TADAHH! 

It's all done!

Easy peasy. 

It was hard to explain tho..cuz I am bad in explaining apparently. :/

My OOTD for the day; 

If you haven't noticed, I've gotten a bit chubbier..

which explains the lack of my usual OOTDs lately ;) 

Everything just doesn't seem to fit in me anymore it's depressing!

Looks like I need to save up for some shopping spree!

(or maybe diet:P) 

Do share with me if you have your favorite ways to wear your hijab,  

particularly ones that doesn't need pinning in the middle!;)

I think I'll blog about my favorite apps next, 

so stick around, 

I'll blog again soon!

:]

Distracted.

Salam!

Halllllooooo!

Now that I actually have the time, I procrastinate. 

As usual, of course. 

I officially hate this skirt.
*cuz it shows my weird body shape bahaha

I might as well take a nice OOTD with it for the last time. 

Also, do you know that your face gets swollen the next day if you eat something right before bed?

Well. I just found out. 

But why do I feel like I've said this before?

Hmm.

Did I?

I will forever have these kind of photos if the bestie takes my photos. 

It's either cuz she's too funny..

...or I am too embarrassed to pose. 

Blog again soon!

L o s t.

Salam. 

You have no idea how many times I tried to blog.

..which ends with me deleting everything and closing the window multiple times in a day. 

For some reason I don't know how or what I should blog about..

I keep on trying to take photos for me to blog, but there it is still in my camera untouched. 

I keep on thinking of the reason why I started blogging & I keep on forgetting that the main reason was just for me to document the things that I have done, or you know, just like a diary kind of thing?

Typical & cliche - I know. 

Then I got to a phase where I keep on thinking too much every time I try to blog, hence the blog block;

if there ever is such a term. 

I love sharing things I found here in our little town for example food places, or beauty products or just about anything that I came across that seems interesting to me. 

I love sharing about my day..

be it happy or sad or weird.

So dearest blog (..and readers if I still have any) I shall focus on that now, 

I need to remind myself that, every time. 

✌

It is also such a work for me to actually sit down & type from the laptop to actually update, 

cuz I have been quite occupied lately- but if you do feel curious you can easily go follow my IG. 

:)

I have yet to try a lot of other scents from VS but my favorite so far are Secret Charms & Sheer Love. 

The husband randomly complimented on how nice I smell few weeks back which leads me to getting another bottle of Sheer Love!;)

Coincidentally the bestie went to KL so I asked her to help me to grab a bottle of Sheer Love.

..but look at what she got me!

Complete with the body butter & body lotion..

#blessed #gratitude

She got me few other things as well. 

Thank you darken!

:]

The week before she left we went to Nature Republic as it is currently having its huge year end sale. 

Grabbed few items for myself & the bestie got herself few things as well and we spent rm100+ (for so many things) and got a free gift which was a pretty cosmetic bag!

I love how they would always have sales up to 70% :P

Who doesn't, right?

My feet is ridiculously dry so I decided to get some foot masks. 

What's not in the photo is another type of foot mask- where it peels off your dead skin after you wear it..

..which is honestly gross cuz it peels off for a few days :O

But it worked well although I doubt that I would wanna face the peeling phase again o.O

1| Peeling foot mask. 2| A gift from Lana's Store. 

3| Gifts from the bestie. 4| Hubby made me us some steak. 

Feeling blessed and thankful for so many things, 

Alhamdulillah. 

Blog again soon.:)

#OOTD - Silly stripes.

Salam!

It's been a while that I didn't upload any of my OOTDs, yes?

Mainly cuz I have staying home a lot lately.
Yesterday our blogger friend Nano came to town!
So both the bestie & I went to meet her up for lunch & to spend some quality time as well:D
But, I'll share some of our photos from yesterday in my next blog post, mmkay?
:]

The photos are still in my camera & I don't have it with me right now so..
;)

Anyhoo,
I am currently obsessed with maxi skirts and maxi dresses..
I am slowly adding up my collection; they're just too comfortable!

It took me quite a while to buy this one..
cuz I think that it wouldn't be the best idea for me to wear something with horizontal lines..
It would make me look..well.
..wide?

..but then again, I have always loved stripes & navy-ish looking stuff so..

Uhhmmm. 

Yeap. 

Got myself a new pair of polka dots flats as well.
Alrighty then,
I shall blog again soon!

:]

In and out.

Salam & Hi!

I have been struggling through  A LOT of things lately,

which makes me feel like staying in and just sleep all day long. 

But then again..

when I think about it..

Why would I choose to be gloomy when I can easily make it all bright and sunny again?

Right? 

It will forever be hard, 

But you've gotta live & leave all the negativity behind. 

We all live to please the Only ONE, so whatever you choose to do & you did - so leave the rest to Him. 

Be thankful for whatever that happens to you, 

for whatever you have,

be it bad or good.

It all happens for a reason - just hang on there. 

I am still in the midst of preparing for my upcoming reception..

You can quite say that I am occupied pretty much most of the time. 

At least my mind is - if not my time. 

I decided to get some fresh air today,

I have been too stuffy in and out, physically and mentally (if that makes any sense) so I got some sinful KFC CHIKINNN for my lunch. 

Got some fresh flowers as well as..

this new little friend of mine!

Teeheee. 

I wanted to get some other kind of fish..

But this is the easiest to take care of so..

Yes. 

Okay I have to go now, 

Stick around, 

I'll blog again soon!
