Getting Started: A Day Out
Wednesday, 14 January 2015 | 0 comments

Assalamua'alaikum

I've always admired bloggers who set aside time to post about various things; be it an eventful day, their pleased outfits, beneficial review articles, tedious tutorials and other related write-ups revolving their life. Often, I find myself searching up blogs depicting the authors' interest in mainly beauty and fashion. Reading up such posts brings me temperate joy and has always been able to make me feel mildly contented. I could scroll through blogs like these for hours and read every single entry dating back for months. For a long time, discovering these types of local blogs sparked enthusiasm, ambition and a strong desire to pursue a similar platform one day.

This day, I decided to construct my once most-inspired thoughts into a bunch of sentences and share it with readers of the world wide web.

*************************************************************************************************************************************

I used to cower at donning the shawl-styled scarf thinking I didn't have the right face shape to pull it off. Having sisters with a defined diamond-faced shape, I envied at how effortless and simple it seem to be for them whenever they wore it and how they looked in it. Ask anyone mutual between us, they'd always see me bearing the square scarf on my head. I've always adored the shawl-style trend ever since it started. With its abundance of flawless ways to adorn it, their intriguing patterns and colours, the shawl scarf is a timeless aesthetic.

Imagine my absolute disappointment when I reflected upon my virgin experience on wearing it out. Everything looked horribly wrong! The outlook of my face, the folds abode my hair bun, the lack of coverage over my front and back and not to mention how I failed to notice how sheer the material was. Following that, I vowed never to attempt wearing the shawl scarf ever again and remained devoted to the square scarf. While I sulked at the sullen latter, my sisters rocked the shawl. Seeing them looking fabulous in it pushed me into YouTube-ing hijab tutorials and going on Tumblr and Pinterest for hjiab styles. My efforts were rewarded; I learnt how to achieve my personal goal of a perfect face shape along with contorting the folds rather nicely.

The day before, all of my classes were cancelled and I made plans to go have breakfast and do a little shopping with my mum. Garnering courage, I stepped out of the house with an emerald-green shawl atop my head. To go along with the green, I opted for a black maxi dress under my Cotton On aztec-print kimono. I filled in my lips with an orange hued lip crayon from 3CE to compliment the scarf. A few dainty gold rings completed my overall look.

The two of us met and had a hearty breakfast prior to meeting my sister at H&M. We went wild there due to the seasonal sale they were having. After, we popped into The Body Shop to redeem rebate points for products my mum had accumulated from her membership spending.

Got me a few exciting bits and massively stoked to use them! Do expect a review on the All-In-One BB Cream soon (;
