Salaams and Saluations, So...upon looking into my closet and my hijab hangers I wondered if I could wear '30 hijabs in 30 days'. I mean 30 different hijabs, no repeats, for 30 days. I believe I can...but can YOU? Well Beautiful Ummah will be having a challenge in March of 2012. We are still working out the details and gathering up prizes. There will be a local prize (DC Metro area) and a US &

Salaams and Saluations, Sorry for the delay but here I go...Date night....Well since I am no longer married this would be for a sit down. I like to keep things simple but want my personality to come through. I'm really in to accessories now so I included a heart necklace and multi colored bangles from The Souq. The hijab is from LaDecence, I really like it because it incorporates so many colors.

Today we showcase EID. Both EIDs for me were really great. Lots of family time and seeing people you don't normally see on a day to day basis. I even got henna for the 2nd EID. This abaya was made buy Tawanda Mackey from fabric I picked up in Philly over the summer. It is a 3/4 length and I wear it with a cardigan. The Hijab is a pink drape scarf from Pearl Daisy. The headband was from Forever 21

Ramadan Mubarak Beauties!I am doing a quick review of the Naked Pallet by Urban Decay. At first sight I wasn't impressed with the colors. As always the presentation of Urban Decay Products is awesome, so this is not any different. I have to say the only part of this pallet that is special is the shimmer color selections. THOSE ARE THE HOTTNESS!!! They lay on nicely and blend well with EVERYTHING!

Salaams and Salutations..In finding more and more Muslimah fashion blogs..I also came across MORE and MORE modest fashion blogs. I LOVE IT. I love how these women (and those like them) take their faith to the NEXT level buy dressing apart from the norm. In norm I mean, short skirts, plunging necklines and exposed skin everywhere.Modesty is Pretty Shey is a Christian that admits that modest dress

Asalaams and Salutations, So I've been looking at Bint Qamar for a while. I like some of their hijabs and some of their styles. They have great prices...so I decided to buy a hijab or two..or three. Well.............I mean they are hijabs, BUT they are nice and light for the summer time. Check me out this week wearing my Bint Q hijab? This bag is sooo cute. I think I might use it this summer.

There are a million and 1 uses for baking soda and you can pick up a box for under a buck! To quote the Domestic Diva Martha Stewart: Baking soda, it's a good thing.
