Day Tour to Stonehenge & City of Bath

Yesterday was such an amazing experience. We went on a tour to Stonehenge and the City of Bath, and words cannot describe how exciting it was. Although waking up 5am in the morning was a pain in the butt, i'm not gonna deny that it was worth it. As we toured, our tour guide was briefing us about the history behind the monuments and it was so interesting. Who knew a bunch of stones could be so interesting haha! If you haven't heard of the stonehenge, then i suggest you do your research right now. 

After we toured around the Stonehenge and took a million selfies, we headed back to our coach and off we went to our next destination; City of Baths / Roman Baths. I can honestly say that i never thought there was such a place like this in England. It was so beautiful and the architecture was outstanding. Nearly every house/building was about over 200 years old. Again, the history behind the Roman Baths is beyond interesting. I tried to take as many pictures possible before my phone died, and sadly i wish i could take more.

I could go on about today, but let's allow the pictures to do the talking :)

That's just be being silly as usual lol

HOW TO CLEAR UP YOUR SKIN WITH 3 NATURAL INGREDIENTS

I'm going to share with you how to clear up your skin just buy using 3 ingredients you can find in your fridge right now! 

Now, i'm not saying i have great or clean skin. By now you all now the struggles my skin has gone through aka (ACNE RECOVERY POST). But these 3 things have helped me a lot. Sometimes all the chemical based products we use on our face can be really damaging to the skin. Your skin needs to breath.

I should probably start by telling you that you do not use these items together! They are to be use separately.

1) LEMONS - You cut the lemon in 2 pieces and run it through cold water (just so it doesn't irritate your skin) and then apply directly onto your face. You move in circular motions, really slow and apply it all around your face; focusing on where you tend to break out a lot.
Lemons are very good for the skin, they remove scars, heals acne and exfoliates!

2) OLIVE OIL - You pour olive oil into a bowl and apply it directly to your face and rubbing in circular motion. You leave it for 2 hours and then rinse with warm water. I usually do this before i go to sleep (let's face it, i never fall asleep straight away). Yes, it might be kind of gross at first but trust me, it will leave your skin feeling super smooth. Totally worth it.

3) NATURAL YOGURT - This is really simple and quite self explanatory. You pour 2 teaspoons of yogurt into a bowl and apply directly to your face. You leave it for 30 mins and rinse with warm water. Skin might feel weird at first, but apply a moisturizer and it will be fine.

Hope this helps.
And if you do decide to use these, let me know in the comments below how it went for you :)

WISH LIST

These are the items on my current wish list.

Hopefully i get to purchase them all! 

Okay, so this months wish list is very simple (as you can see). They're very basic items, and i love how simple they are yet they still make a statement. To begin with, i've really been loving leather tote bags in the colour blag. I have so many bags (a girl can never have too many bags right?) and i've noticed that most of them are statement bags. This time i want to go for a very plain/simple bag that i can wear with anything and any time.
Secondly, i was browsing through ebay like i usually do, and i came across this cute 'harry potter' styles glasses. As soon as i saw them, i immediately dragged them to my basket and was like 'im buying these' haha online shopping addict :(
Next are these really cool shoes i saw from ASOS, and i fell in love with them. I have nothing else to say except...I NEED THEM.
Last but not least is another item from ASOS and it's this really cute make up bag with ears, i mean how adorable?? I currently do not have a make up bag because i threw my old one away and haven't purchased a new one since then. Yes, i know, how do i survive???

Well that's it for my wish list this month, hope you enjoyed them. :)
Stay Tuned!

June Favs ♡

Here's my first ever monthly favourites , enjoy ♡ 

 #1 This perfume that i bought recently, is seriously da-bomb! I love the smell, is has this very unique fragrance to it. It's not light but it's not exactly strong either, its a perfect combination of both. I've been wearing it literally everyday and it lasts a very long time so you won't run out any time soon :) ♡ 

 #2 I've literally been loving this case ever since i saw it on Ebay. If you didn't know, i'm really fond of skulls and i love how this isn't my usual 'scary' skull (as my family would call it) because it has this girly approach on it and i think it makes it look really fun ♡ 

#3 This book may be familiar to you if you've read/seen The Kite Runner. It's by the same author and i have been telling myself to read this book for a really long time. I've finally got myself a copy and I've been finding it so interesting. I can't remember the last time i've read a book that hasn't been set in our times now. Its so cultural and i find that the most interesting. It really gives an insight to a world where not everyone lives in luxury.  ♡ 

 #4 You've probably already heard of this right now and its the newest 'trend' going on for kids haha. But is it really just for kids? I mean these loom bands are strangely addictive! Literally my whole family have been obsessing over these bands, even my mum! Its craaaaazy ♡ 

#5 I've recently been loving these Simple products. During summer my skin becomes even more sensitive which kind of restricts me from using my usual products. So i've been searching for summer alternatives and i came across these Simple products. The reason why i love Simple so much is because they are 100% natural and have no harsh chemicals/artificial perfume etc. So far, they've been perfect ♡ 

#6 Last but not least is the MAC Face and Body foundation i recently purchased. I can't really talk alot about this foundation because i've only wore it once since i've purchased it. But from what i've seen, so far so good. I like the fact that it is a very light coverage so its natural but at the same time maintains its dewy look. ♡ 

ITEMS SHOWN:

• CHACHAREL - AMOR AMOR FORBIDDEN KISS
• IPHONE CASE
• A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS
• LOOM BANDS
• SIMPLE: PROTECTING MOISTURE CREAM // PURIFYING CLEANSING LOTION 

Ramadan ♡

Firstly i would like to say RAMADAN KAREEM to all my lovely readers :)

Alhamudulillah the first week has passed us and its been very quick! Hope you're all having a beautiful ramadan. I just wanted to remind you of the benefits of this blessed month and how we should all really take advantage of it whilst we're alive alhamdulillah. Ramadan has a special way of breaking bad habits.If you have a grudge against anyone, let it go. If you haven't spoken to a close relative in a while, call them. If you have habits, break them. Don't let your bad habits continue. Be happy. You owe it to yourself, you don't deserve to live in stress and have problems hanging over your head. It's ramadan, you should only focus on worship and nothing else. Pray, read quran, make dua and focus on purifying yourself & making yourself a better person.

Just a few words i wanted to share with you guys ♡ A small reminder goes a long way

And don't forget to make dua for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. They need the duas of our ummah. Please please please remember them in your duas ♡
