I need a new bag :'(
I want this Harness Satchel from Urban Outfitters sooooooo bad.
It's at the top of my wishlist right now.
It's $68 and online only!
I hate this damn recession! The bag seems perfect for me and I love love love messenger bags that can hold notebooks and camera, and they must be sturdy. I love the dark brown version of it.
Sigh, but it's only a wish.
Late Night Cravings - Healthy Banana Smoothie
I got a sudden craving of smoothie a little earlier and so I went online and searched for some ideas and asked a friend. So I decided to make this! It's pretty simple.
Ingredients:
-2 bananas
-10 ice cubes
-1 cup of water
- 1 TBS of ground cinnamon
Directions:
Put the ice, water, and bananas in a blender, then blend until you have a consistent texture. After add the cinnamon in the blender and use your blenders stir function until you can no longer see it.
If you find that it is too thick, just add a little bit of water to thin it out. On the other hand, if it is too thin, you can add more ice to thicken it up to your liking. Also, you can get creative with the flavoring. So, next time, if you don’t feel like cinnamon, try cocoa powder and have a chocolate one.
Tell me how you like it if you try it!
It was pretty decent :)

Disney Villains and MAC?!
My oh my, 2010 is definitely a great year so far.
I have just found out that MAC will be releasing a ''Disney Villains'' collection coming up as its Fafi/Barbie/Hello Kitty follower. And 2010's designer collaboration will be Vivienne Westwood!
Oh lordyyyy, how amazing is that!? I can't wait to see what they come up with and I am allll over the Disney Villains collection ;) I may be a princess by day, but there's definitely a little villain inside me by night.
Is it sad if I'm more excited about the packaging? I really wish they'd do something REALLY cool with their packaging, or a new product altogther.
I'm hoping for an Ursala quad. Silver, Purple, Blue and a Tealish Black along with Malificent Green! If this becomes a reality, they had better bring on the awesome. Packaging AND product.
Blog Texting
I'm trying to see if this text message thing works. I hope so :)
And it totally does. How useful.
And it totally does. How useful.
Queen of Procrastination :)
So, it's about 1:53 pm here and I JUST woke up. I need to study, and I kept telling myself that for like the past three days but finals are tomorrow and I have to cram everything in today/tonight. Wish me luck D:
Schedule for today:
1. Breakfast
2. Take a quick shower then drink some chai.
3. Bust out the highlighters, pens and pencils.
4. Clear my bed and grab the laptop.
5. Study for math final because it's the first in the morning.
6. Take a break.
7. Start writing down all my physics notes that I'm allowed to use.
8. Take a break.
9. Start on my English poem, which should be fairly easy.
10. Cram everything in last minute while I fall asleep.
That should be my day hopefully.
For my fellow muslim sisters!
I found these duas for studying...
________________________________________________
-Dua before studying:
Allâhumma infa‘nî bimâ ‘allamtanî wa ‘allimnî ma yanfa‘unî.
Translation:
{Oh Allah! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me.}
-Dua after studying:
“Allahuma Inni Astaodeeka Ma Qare’Tu Wama Hafaz-Tu. Farudduhu ‘Allaya Inda Hajati Elahi. Innaka ‘Ala Ma-Tasha’-U Qadeer Wa Anta Hasbeeya Wa Na’Mal Wakeel”
Translation:
“Oh Allah! I entrust you with what I have read and I have studied. Oh Allah! Bring it back to me when I am in need of it. Oh Allah! You do whatever you wish, you are my availer and protector and the best of aid.”
-Dua while studying something difficult:
"Allahumma la sahla illama ja-'altahu sahla wa anta taj 'alu al hazana
etha shi'ta sahla."
Translation:
“Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what you have made easy. If you wish, you can make the difficult easy.”
-Dua for removing anxiety:
Allâhumma innî a‘ûdhu bika min al-hammi wa al-hazan. Wa a‘ûdhu bika min al-‘ajzi wa al-kasal. Wa a‘ûdhu bika min al-jubni wa al-bukhl. Wa a‘ûdhu bika min ghalabat id-dayni wa qahr ir-rijal.
Translation:
{Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, from helplessness and laziness, from cowardice and stinginess, and from overpowering of debt and from oppression of men.}
-Duah for distress:
"Allahumma rahmataka arjoo falaa takilnee ilaa nafsee tarfata
'aynin wa aslih-lee sha'nee kullahu, laa ilaha illa anta."
Translation:
O Allah! It is Your mercy that I hope for so do not leave me in charge
of my affairs even for a blink of an eye and rectify for me all of my
affairs. None has the right to be worshipped except You.

Song of the Week <3
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
This is so cute!
I absolutely love this blog! They have the cutest outfits a hijabi can wear and they're modest too.
This is my favorite because I LOVE the colors red and black ♥
I need to find a skirt pronto :( I don't have one actually.
Instead of studying...
I just totally gave my blog a make-over. My baby brother sat down with me and told me what he liked and what he didn't and so we both worked to our compromises and came up with this so far :)
