Qura'an Bookmarks

Few weeks ago, I saw this interesting blog post from our dear blogger Bahrainipreneur about a young Bahraini graphic designer Hind Al-Ayadhy that designs beautiful Qura'an bookmarks. 

There are a variety of 12 pretty colors, and each bookmark costs BD 1.5. Behind this idea is a thoughtful cause; all the proceeds will be donated to the social campaign known as the (Child's Wish) to provide kids with Eid's new clothings and needs.

My order =D

I Spy With My Little Eye; A DIY

{Image Source}

As I promised you all, this post is dedicated to most of you who asked me to write a DIY blog post about friendship bracelets (Here). Friendship bracelets are a huge trend this summer, they add a pop of color to your wrists -known as arm candy-, and I am soo obsessed with these cuties. 

After soo many tutorials on how to do them, I finally know how to make my very own friendship bracelet, yeppyyy!!!! And now, I am going to show you the DIY steps for the easiest friendship bracelet type; the Candy Stripes...

Here is a simple step by step picture tutorial on the classic easy candy stripes bracelets. And you will be needing the following:

Before we start, I have this little tip for you guys. When creating the knots -which you will see in the steps below-, try not to tighten it too strong or keep it very loose, it will either make the bracelet look curled or incompact!! Doing this lovely friendship bracelet needs practice until you perfect it. =)

For better results, use these kind of threads, as they are less fuzzy and better in terms of quality

Step 1:

To start with, cut 6 strands of embroidery threads at about 70 centimeters long each -any of your fave colors-. Combine the threads and create a little loop -of an inch long- with a knot, as shown in the pic below. Then attach it to the clipboard.

Step 2:

Using your very left thread -Number 1 in the pic below-, bring it over thread No.2 and create the shape (4).

After creating the shape (4), bring thread No.1 behind strand No.2, and back to the front; creating a knot. Make the same knot TWICE over each thread, to create the pattern desired.

Step 3:

Continue doing  step 2 with the same thread -No.1- till you reach the last thread -No.6-. The first row is now complete!

Step 4:

When you're done with the first row, continue with the next color on your very left, which is now the outermost strand -thread No.2.-. Do the similar steps used in step 3, starting from thread No. 2 and so on untill your bracelet looks almost complete.

This is how your bracelet should look when all the rows are complete.

Step 5:

To support the rows and complete the bracelet, finish it with a little knot and two little braids.

Et Voila.. =)

And the rest of my very own friendship bracelets collection...

Hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend...

Product Review - Bourjois Effet 3D Max Gloss

Hello everyone, 

I have recently received a little package with some goodies. It included two lovely lip glosses of fixing pomegranate extract from Bourjois cosmetics -one of my favorite makeup brands-, and the shades were; -No. 14- Rose Watery, and -No.11- Beige Mellow. 

This lipgloss claims to moisturize and stay in the lips for approx. 8 hours, and I seriously noticed the effect -but not for 8 straight hours, just for almost three to four hours-!! My lips were hydrated for long hours, where normally when I use other glosses, they tend to fade so quickly. I love the natural shimmery look it gives my lips, these are my favorite glosses so far.

The bottom line, these babies are moisturizing, adds the loveliest little shimmer to the lips, and most importantly; they wear well on me!!

Thank you Bourjois for such lovely creation... =D

One Hand, One Heart

Few days ago, I went to an exhibition at the Movenpick Hotel. Just to cut a long story short; not much has caught my attention as much as these two lovely necklaces!! As you guys noticed, I am pretty much obsessed with anything that has to do with hands and eyes!! 

To get the pink necklace on the left, check out this lovely page POSH for orders.

Happy Monday everyone...

Just Like Candy

Hi my lovies,,,

Ever since friendship bracelets been a huge trend this year, I was yearning to learn how to make my own from scratch! So, I googled lots and lots of tutorials on how to do an easy friendship bracelet. And to be honest with you guys, it's a piece of cake, you just need to focus a little bit and have lots of beautiful colorful threads -You can add beads, crystals, studs, and much more!!-...

I should probably do a DIY post on how to make your very own friendship bracelet!!! What do you guys think??!

To The "Maxi"mum

(Left to right); Deena in pink and white, me in yellow and turquoise

  

Today's post includes two highlights of this week; wearing my very first own maxi skirt, and I finally used my new Vanguard tripod in this lovely breezy weather.

I normally like to wear maxi dresses, as they require not much effort; I can just wear it, add a belt to it, and I'm ready to hit the road! On the other hand, I always find maxi skirts are a bit tricky for me! But when I first saw this turquoise-blue maxi skirt at new look, I had to try it out and make it work no matter what!! I know to most of you, it is just a normal combination of a top and a maxi skirt. But to me, it was really a big fuss to finally get myself to wear such a pretty maxi skirt!!

Part of my sunglasses collection that I recently wear a lot!! Including my new Vogue (On the right)

Hey guys, 

As you already know, I recently received this lovely gift from Bahrain Optica; a beautiful Vogue sunglasses -Here-. I have ditched my other glasses for this baby, and I'm afraid to say that it became one of my favorite sunnies so far!!

And to be honest with you, before getting this gift, I wasn't quiet aware of Vogue's eye-wear collections at all!! But now that I know of their existence, and seen most of their products and how they suit my face shape, I am falling deeply in love with this brand!!  

So, have you guys checked out Vogue eye-wear collections? If not, please see -Here- and you will know what I was talking about!

Enjoy your weekend... xxx
