Don't Forget to Pamper Yourself!

As a woman you are always caught up with everything going on you forget to take care of yourself! We always seems to have trouble spending money on ourselves as we are worried about everyone and everything around us. That is what Pinterest is for :) I have some home made pampering hair, face, nail, and feet masks and scrubs.

Turmeric face masks:
-Turmeric has many health benefits when consumed in foods such as cancer fighting qualities and retaining elasticity, etc. It also has brightening and acne clearing qualities when used in a face mask, and it even helps to whiten teeth!

Turmeric + Honey                  Turmeric + Lemon + Honey

Coffee Scrubs:
-Coffee helps remove dead skin cells and if applied to areas on the body with cellulite it can help to reduce the look of it. Now you have an use for the coffee grinds leftover from the coffee machine!

Coffee + Olive Oil + Plastic Wrap
Apply this mixture to areas on the body with cellulite and wrap with plastic wrap to help it absorb better into the skin

Coffee grinds + Cocunut oil
This makes for a great face mask it removes dead skins cells but the coconut oil keeps the skin hydrated.

Hair Masks:
-When it comes to hair masks I always stick to either olive oil or coconut oils to help strengthen and nourish my hair and scalp, but here are some other natural hair masks.

Teeth Whitening:
-My sister's wedding is coming up in May so I have searching for some natural teeth whitening solutions that I can use everyday.

Turmeric
As I mentioned before turmeric has teeth whitening attributes and is good for overall mouth health. Just put water and turmeric powder on your toothbrush and brush into teeth leave it in for at least a minute and rinse. **WARNING** Your toothbrush will turn yellow and stay that way, so you have been warned!

Toothpaste + Baking soda + Hydrogen peroxide
Okay this isn't considered all natural but it's all stuff I already had a home! I have been trying this mix daily and I am slowly seeing a change in my teeth, although I'd prefer the natural stuff.

Oil pulling
I haven't tried oil pulling (coconut oil is mostly recommended) but I have done my research about it. Oil pulling provide overall better mouth health by strengthening, whitening, and helping aid in gum healing. You have to be very careful not to swallow any of the oil entering your mouth! So what you do is you sip some coconut oil and swish it around your mouth for about two minutes and the oil gently cleans the surface of your teeth, tongue, and pulls food caught between your teeth.

International Women's Day 2019

Happy International Women's Day to all the strong, hard working women all over the world fighting to be heard. Think about women everywhere today; the ones who fight every day for basic rights, the ones who die just for a chance to be heard, about the everyday woman struggling to balance work and family and often neglecting her own self-care. Think about your mother. The strong woman who has raised you, put food in your belly, and smiled through her own hurt and pain so you never have to see that inside she is crying. Women of all shapes, colours, sizes, eras are just so amazing. Today's blog post is dedicated to a very special little girl in my life and that is my daughter Malak. I know in my heart that she will grow up to be a strong, confident, and intelligent woman who will make her whole family proud. I'm watching you right now playing on your iPad and sucking on that lollipop (note to self: get Malak to brush her teeth later) and I can see all the wonderful potentia...

Trip to Sweden: Landskrona and Höganäs

It has been a while fellow bloggers since I just got back from my month long trip to Sweden! I shall be writing all about it in the next few blog post entries. My husband has three brothers who all live in Sweden and we were far overdue for a vacation anyways. Mind you this is the first time traveling with my husband in a plane and first time with kids of my own. I will be writing a post of traveling with kids on its own. Our flight was a direct flight from the Toronto airport to Copenhagen, Denmark. We were told it is faster to take a train from the airport in Copenhagen to Malmo then taking a plane to Stockholm, Sweden which would be at least a 6 hour drive from where my husband's brothers live! We arrived at around 10:20am. Upon our arrival to the airport we picked up our bags, bought a ticket for the train, and jumped on the train. Booking and board the train took the most time for us. The train took less than 15 minutes from where we were to get us to our first stop which wa...

The Shatha Show

I am helping my sister Shatha with her new YouTube channel called The Shatha Show. The videos star Shatha opening surprises, reviewing products, or just having fun in her day. We would appreciate thumbs up on the videos and some subscriptions. The Shatha Show They are kid-friendly videos appropriate for all ages. Shatha and my daughter Malak both are guilty for watching kids open surprises on YouTube so we thought it would be fun for Shatha to do her own videos. We are open to suggestions and would love to see some interactions on Shatha's channel. Stay tuned for more videos! Our goal is for once a week but we will see how that works out for us :) Thanks all!
