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.

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!

:]

I'm back on!

Salam & Hello, 

gorgeous people!

I haven't been here for quite a while, no?

That's cuz our streamyx was down for almost the whole January; which sucks. 

I have been wanting to blog numerous time- I was so afraid that I might not be interested in blogging anymore...

which probably won't be happening anytime soon.
..or like, ever.

I have to admit that I am pretty occupied most of the time now especially since I am married.

Anyhoo,

It's ALREADY 2014 & like most of you, 

I still can't quite digest the fact that 2013 was gone in a blink of an eye!

Scary that the time is flying by so so fast now.

So let's see..

It was my birthday last Jan, so I did some last minute tea time kinda thing at our place.

Didn't actually invite lots of people,
mainly cuz it was really really last minute.
Planned by the bestie & I!:)
We finally get to sort of make a dessert setting kind of thing, which is fun!
We did had gorgeous Yatie & her son with us, but the time we spent was a bit too short.
Will definitely plan another small gathering like these in the future :)

Thank you dearest bestie & Yatiek,
for being there for me on my birthday!
Much love for both of you :*

Stick around,
now that my streamyx is back on I just might blog a bit more regularly cuz I miss it!
Blog again soon!

Review; bLoop buddyz party nails x HiShop !

Helu & Salam!

I have to admit, I do like having colors on my nails sometimes. 

I just love looking at all those pretty nails!

..but after I got married I rarely paint my nails. 

Pretty much cuz I have different responsibilities now so my nails are always either bare or with henna on. 

 It's the end of the year & that means it's the marriage season too!

Hahaha. 

The husband & I have been in and out of town to attend weddings..

..how can one resist such pretty henna?? 

Uhmm so excuse me cuz I'll be doing this with my nails still full with henna colored nails. 

:]

Anyhoo, 

I have seen photos here and there of nail strips and I have always wondered how does those things work.

Glad that I got the chance to try it out; thank you HiShop & Bloop!

The parcel arrived earlier than I expected it to be; that's always a plus point for online shops.

I received both nail & toe nail strips, also a nail polish. 

Look at how pretty these are!:)

At the back there's instructions on how to apply it on your nails, 

turn out that it's actually quite simple!

Simply measure your nails with the stickers,

..cut it off according to your own nail measurement.

These strips (the material) to me are very similar to those car stickers..hahaha. 

You know? Those materials like the McD's drive thru stickers? 

Uhmm sort of, sort of. 

It even has that kind of sticker smell!

Teeeheee.

Just stick it on right after you measure them, 

and push down the access sticker and gently strip it off. 

I find this quite easy to do, but I assume the biggest problem of doing this yourself is it tends to have bubbles. 

I recommend you to ask a help from a friend so it could be much neater.

Another tip is to apply a coat of clear nail polish on top so it could stay longer, stick better and won't be easily torn.

I only applied on one, cuz my nails are still too short for them so it would be such a waste if I put them all on! 

Imagine having those pretty flowers on your nails...

(Y)

So girly & somehow vintage looking at the same time. 

If I have the chance to actually have it all on at least 5 nails, I'll definitely post it up on Instagram, okay?

Now where to get these pretty nail strips?

They have plenty of designs, don't worry!;)

Maybe something to get for Christmas & New Year?
For yourself or even for a gift!
