guilt

Thank you Dina and Ghadah for your comments on my previous posts :)

I embarrassed my cousin by blurting out something awful about one of her kids. She and her husband denied it (out of embarrassment, of course) and now I feel horrible. I've been told millions and millions and billions of times that I'm very very very very very very very inconsiderate, but it never really hit me as it did now.

She hasn't told me anything..bl3aks she's acting like nothing happened but I'm guilt stricken and I don't think I can face her or her husband ever again :(

Make me feel better..please?

Fudge it.

I'm very frustrated at how some people just love putting me down and crushing my dreams.

Uni beauty regime

Hello :)

This semester, most of my classes start at 8 AM so I don't usually have that much time of ma5mi5ing infront of my mirror with my makeup and hair pins.

So I've come up with a way of looking good AND showing up 30 minutes early to each of my morning classes ;)

Here it is

Clothes: Picked out the day before!

Hair: I dyed it this caramel light brown color that DOESN'T turn orange under the sunlight..walla :p took me forever to get it the shade I want!
Anyway, I either curl it loose curls the night before and use lots of hairspray to keep it in place OR I part it in the middle and twist it into a bun.
Not a messy one though...I don't really pull off the fashionable messy bun look..mine will just look plain messy.



Makeup:


1- Cargo Bronzer in Medium

Honestly, this is the Best.Bronzer.Of.All.Time

It blends so naturally. Doesn't blotch nor does it make you look orange..it actually makes you look like you've got a real tan

Whenever I use it I get lots of compliments..

Plus, it's the bronzer they use on Dancing With The Stars ;)

2- Labello

I prefer using the plain flavorless one..I've come to discover that the cherry one makes you look like you've overdone your lipliner. And the strawberry is too red for my taste!

3- MAC Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour in Night Rose

It's the kind of lipstick that doesn't fade under any circumstances..but after a while it really dries up so I always keep my labello with me to moisturize my lips. And it looks like I've got my lips tattooed :P

4- Make up Forever's Sculptin Blush in Peach Pink

My blush isn't the same color as the one in the pic..mine's more pinkish.
I use it right before I use my bronzer..looks very natural :) I love it!

5- Maybelline's Great Lash Washable Mascara in Black

Makes my lashes go sideways which I love and it really lasts long..One of the best mascaras ever..it's just as good as Armani's Eyes to Kill ;)

Jewellry: I love Diamonds :) I wear them everywhere

• Earrings: Diamond studs or small diamond loops..depends on my mood really..
• On my left hand: Rolex gold watch aaand my diamond tennis bracelet.
• On my right hand: My mom's old diamond wedding rings.
• Necklaces: depends on my mood.

Shoes: Oooh that's a whole different post :D

I'm sleepy :) good night xoxo

يا جمَّالُ

عذَّبَ الجمَّالُ قلبي
عندما اختارَ الرحيلْ

قلتُ يا جمَّالُ صبرا ً
قال كلَّ الصبر ِ عيل

قلت يا جمَّالُ قصدك
قال صحراءَ الجنوبْ

قلت ماذا ضمَّ حملك
قال علكا ً و طيوبْ

قلت ما داؤكَ قل لي
قال شوقا للحبيب

قلت هل زرت طبيبا
قال تسعين طبيبْ

قلت يا جمَّالُ خذني
قال لا حملي ثقيلْ

قلت يا جمَّالُ أمشي
قال لا دربي طويلْ

قلت أمشي ألفَ عام ٍ
خلفَ عينيكَ أسافرْ

قال يا طيرَ الحمامْ
حنظلٌ عيشُ المهاجرْ

عذَّبَ الجمَّالُ قلبي
عندما اختارَ الرحيلْ

كلـَّما خلـَّفَ دمعا ً
فوق خدَيَّ يسيلْ

توفيق زياد

1929 - 1994

I was watching Fajr Al-3alam (Dawn of the World) the other day when a song came on. It's sung by Rim Banna. It's a very beautiful song but what I liked most were the lyrics, so when I looked them up I found them to be a part of this poem :)

you learn from your mistakes

I baked one of Martha's cupcakes today..they turned out to be a big disappointment.
my 3 year old cousins seemed to love them though..

I think it was because I mixed all the ingrediets together at once instead of mixing some first then adding the rest..oh well :) I learned my mistake.

Mental Notes:
1- Don't forget to check on cupcakes every now and then.
2- READ instructions CAREFULLY.

will add more as I go along my baking journey :)

I will not lose faith in myself and my baking abilities..I know I'm good. even though all my past expirements have proven that last statement to be wrong.

I don't think i'm going to try out other recipes anytime soon. good night my pretties (*

Uni, burning cupcakes, and my birthday wish list :)

Ukh. Uni started yesterday.

And now that I'm retaking the two courses I failed last term, I'm not going to have any time for baking.

My time will be spent on Uni, studying, tutors, and even more studying.

I know I promised myself that once I get the books and tools I would start baking but I'm too lazy..

well, to be completely honest..I did bake chocolate brownie cupcakes (I made them from scratch, didn't use any ready-made mixes!) and they smelled heavenly!

but I left them unattended for what seemed like FIVE minutes so they got burrrrned...I nearly had a heart attack! Seriously it was one of the scariest moments of my life!! Smoke was coming out of the oven :o

gaharrr I know :(

Anyway, moving on to a more cheerful subject..I decided what I wanted for my birthday

This year I would like to recieve some books :D

Book#1 Martha Strwart's Encyclopedia of Crafts by Martha Stewart Living Magazine

I'm speechless :) I honestly cannot describe how bad I want this book!!

Book#2 Cookie Craft by Valerie Peterson and Janice Fryer

I'm not a sugar cookie fan..but I think they would look great on cupcakes.

Book#3 Creative Cookies by Toba Garrett

Another cookie book that looks interesting :)

Obviously, Those books aren't the only ones I want :P I've decided I wanted a Kindle and 20 books for my 20th birthday :)

Will browse for more books and update my list whenever I'm free!

last minute sprinkle; if YOU find any good books please feel free to leave their names in a comment :D thanks!

ta ta for now :*
