I'm pretty much guessing that we all love to look after our skin, health and 'beauty'...But then it always doesn't work, or we get too lazy to even bother? Not sure if that is your case, but it definitely is my case!

Since none of my resolutions work (no, not only New Year resolutions...but random resolution within the year...) I thought it would be a good idea to start a 'beauty countdown' where I try to be healthy, eat healthy, use certain beauty products and look after my skin...All that for HOPEFULLY 6month inshAllah. Instead of me doing it all alone, I thought I'd share it with you sisters on this blog inshAllah :)

Starting from this Sunday iA, I shall start the beauty countdown and keep you updated once a week. That is including product reviews (that I personally use and will personally use) and photographs.

I am sorry that I haven't been blogging for some time, university was pretty hectic and I never got the chance to do anything on the blog. However, I have been posting some photographs on the Facebook page Photo Diary.

I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Mirriam Kaissi for a coffee. She is a young and talented fashion designer, who is flourishing her own label Moroccan Kafrans.

She designed her first Kaftan in Morocco, it just meant to be a Kaftan for herself with no intention of designing kaftans as a career. People started to admire her design and requested them, this is where her sister-in-law suggested that Mirriam should consider designing as a career, as she has so much talent for it.

This is where everything started to build up and Mirriam is taking very realistic steps to make the business run smooth and flourish. At the moment, the Kaftans are only rental (size range S,M and L) and price range is £45-£65). Her designs are unique and elegant. The small collection includes bridal Kaftans and simple Kaftans.

There are excellent and exquisite details on the Kaftans. The embroidery has been carefully done, using the right thread and material. The buttons are handmade and all Kaftans are made in Morocco, because of the specific sewing and making process each Kaftan undergoes, it can't be done anywhere else.

Mirriam Kaissi is not only providing modest and fashionable Kaftans to sisters in London, she is also helping workers in Morocco make a living, by making the buttons, sewing the embroidery, and the belts (who are made out of woven silk).

If you suggest the Moroccan Kaftans by Mirriam Kaissi page on Facebook to your friends and they could be the winner of the brown Kaftan pictured above.

Salaam Everyone!
I hope you're all doing well...life is pretty hectic at the moment, and I'm finding it really hard to take photographs of outfits and to post things about fashion or anything that relates to the purpose of this blog...My university projects are taking my life and I have many deadlines :/

I will obviously be posting on the blog, now that it became part of my life, and I also decided to do a Photo Diary on my Facebook page (the Facebook page for the blog to be precise...)

I shell be posting photographs I have personally took during my daily activities etc...Not that my life is any interesting and my photography isn't anything fascinating either, but I LOVE photography and would love to share them with you. They will be all personal photos and photos only taken by me, no one else, dedicated to my Facebook people! If you aren't one of them yet, join us!

If you don't like the blog's Facebook page already, what are you waiting for? Click here to like the Facebook page!

I already uploaded the first set of photographs...please feel free to join! Besides my twitter, the Photo Diary won't be updated or upload anywhere else EXCEPT the Facebook Page, so don't miss out :)

Lots of love, (not the usual love& peace...)
