Welcome Marsha

Here goes nothing and everything. March is hereeeeee

Abaya's

I like my abaya's to be simple with a nice flow. I wouldn't mind having abaya's with some sort of pattern or colour except majority of ones I've seen have a very Indian look to them (not that it’s a negative thing) or they are the Arab glossy material ones, which is not the look I want, so I prefer it to be simple with very little detail. That said, I still wish we had nicer trendy abaya’s for everyday wear, while maintaining modesty. As much as we would love to wear long maxi dresses, they can't always be pulled off as an abaya.

Then I came across these, and I totally fell in love with them! I can’t credit these because I’m not sure who or where these are from.

One year

Thursday

I have insane amount of work piled up thats due in 3 days. I don't know what's wrong with me, I sit down to do my homework and it goes no where.
Here is my prediction: Sunday, I'll get to it

Till then, I will complain.

Lauren Conrad "Paper Crown" collection

My friend showed me this yesterday and I loved it! Everything is so soft and classy. Theres no harsh prints or colours at all :D

Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you’re really strangers.

I have something to say

I waste so much of my time, energy, money on redundant possessions. I have nothing against enjoying things in life but the more I look at myself, the more I see of how useless my days have become (especially with my excuse to be “wedding planning”). I waste my little spare time reading about this useless thing which encourages me to buy that useless thing so I can look like some useless person. I’ve become someone who is constantly looking into fashion blogs, make-up tutorials, photography, recipe and DIY sort of things that I probably won’t ever come around to do.
I’m not downing myself for my interest, but I’m sad because of how much I focus on my interests rather than my education and prayers and blessings. I can’t say this is a fact but I sense that too much of high-end eye candy sort of things make us high maintenance because slowly other things start to look unworthy and cheap. Life never seems to be complete, and the shopping list is never over.

I wish I wrote more, it helps sort out thoughts!

top 5 reasons why marriage is awesome

I saw this on someone's blog and loved it. I believe her name is The Zen Bride (I could be wrong, but I forget)

#5: best friend + partner in crime + mentor + companion + boyfriend + shoulder to cry on + confidante + grocery shopper + chauffeur + heavy lifter + jar opener + life partner + baby maker + tax break + bed-sharer + cheerleader + travelling companion + personal chef + court jester + pillow + handyman + nurse + a sympathetic ear + honest opinion = husband

#4: There is nothing more romantic than the man you love standing up in front of God and everybody to say, I love you, and today I commit myself, my heart, my body and my life to you for the rest of our days.

#3: Marriage is the start of building a life, a home and a family together. Everything becomes more affordable when there's two people working toward the same thing.

#2: It is the closest thing a girl can get to a gaurantee that she will always have someone by her side in this crazy, upside down world of ours.

#1: We are just better together than we are apart.

another nightmare

I’ve been thinking a lot about wedding day make-up (more like stressing over it insanely). I’ve seen brides who like exactly like herself - basically the makeup she wears everyday, nothing special. Then I’ve seen brides who look completely transformed. While that can be a good thing, sometimes it’s been too much of a transformation and she’s barely recognizable. I’m worried about both of those scenarios.
I want to look like me, but with something that’s a little extra special. I’ve been looking, really really hard. The issue is that most artists unfamiliar with Indian bridal makeup go too neutral for my liking, while those familiar with the glitzy drama of it go too matchy matchy with my outfit.
