Dusty Rose!!!

I've been on the hunt for the perfect dusty rosey nude colour. I think I've found it. Wet n Wild's Undercover was the right shade I was looking for. They only draw back is the brush is so short and fat, which makes application a little bit tedious. But I cant really expect greatness for $1...I am very content with the colour, and that's all that really matters to me in the end.



I think this will be one of my go to nudes from now on. LOVE!

Oh Canada

Canada Day (July 1st) is around the corner, what better way to show my patriotic side and celebrate a little early by doing a nail design.





The maple leaf was easier to draw than it look. Colours used: OPI-Red Shatter, China Glaze- China Rogue, Sally Hansen-White On. What I love about OPI's Red shatter is the intensity of the colour changes depending on the base colour used. Pretty rad!

Birthday Wear

On the 25th was my birthday. I don't really care to reveal my age, but I feel really old now :( Insha'Allah the feeling will pass. Here's a look at what I wore on that special day. I did do my eyes all fancy shmancy but I forgot to take pictures. Insha'Allah I'll recreate.


Dress: Local Store: Descuento 75%
Ring, Belt: Forever21
Hijab: Sam Moon, but I did see an identical copy in a store called Charming Charlie



All the pretty colours

What do you think?

I was on the Forever21 Site today and this was the first pant that came up. I am kinda digging them..does that mean I'm crazy.



There seems to be a surge in palazzo type pants going on. I would totally get the cheetah print if they weren't sheer.

Plant Shopping





On the weekend we went to the Dallas Farmers Market. Let my just start off, if you are ever in the Dallas area, this is a place to go. With all the fruit sampling, cookie sampling, cake sampling..you have a free lunch right there. If you've ever watched that TV show Prison Break, this market was actually featured on one of the episodes. Off topic I know.

My husband wanted to get some fruit and I wanted a new plant because when I went home to visit my family he didn't water it and I can back to a dead plant:(

Here are some highlights from our afternoon.

A Masonic Temple...Scary. For some reason I think of goat sacrifices when I see these places.




Downtown Dallas

Yes I found it.. a Money Plant, aka Ivy.
