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.

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!

Ramadan 2020: Preparations and Resources

Just under a month to go for Ramadan 2020! This year I have put together a nice '30 Days of Kindness' Calendar for Ramadan for children with the help of parents/guardians to follow earn some good deeds this Ramadan. Please feel free to pull and print off and if you would like an emailed PDF version just contact me and I would be more than happy to send it. I printed many copies and will be delivering to friends and family with children that I think would like to do this.   In the past I have tried to do a more festive Ramadan month to put some Barakah back into the month and have it be a joyous occasion for all. It is especially important for children because it helps instill that love of the month for them from a young age. Especially growing up and seeing the temptations of other Holidays and wondering why we don't do anything fun for Ramadan or Eid? Simple decorations and preparations like hanging some lights up across the window, lanterns placed around the...

2018 in Cupcakes

You read the title correctly: 2018 in Cupcakes! Looking through my Instagram timelines and sliding through my phones pictures I noticed we made a bunch of cupcakes throughout the year. So what better way to go over 2018 then to go through all the pictures of cupcakes I found? Let's begin! During Malak's 3rd Birthday party we all decorated cupcakes as one of the activities! The kids just piled on the toppings while the rest of us tried to make something cute hahah! Malak's birthday is on January 26th but we had her birthday part on the Sunday which was the 28th! We had so much fun at Malak's Paw Patrol themed party and I know Malak had a blast <3 More gorgeous cupcakes from Malak's birthday party with my nephew Karam staring intensely at them, all he wanted to do was grab one! I know they aren't cupcakes but I had to document the gorgeous Canada Day donuts that I picked up after July 1st! I made this a my nephew Karam's 1st birt...
