Natural make-up remover!

eye make up removers always made my eyes red, irritated and hurt really bad! 

lucky for me I learned a little secret! 

OLIVE OIL!!!!!

yes, I said olive oil. natural (organic) olive oil removes allllllll my eye make-up, including pencil, liquid eyeliner, eye shadows, mascara, waterproof mascara. You name it, it removes it.

some people may say its gross, but actually eye makeup removers contain, many "gross" chemicals and ingredients that come from stuff you do NOT want on your face hehe. 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, make sure it is 100% olive oil. like extra virgin olive oil, nothing for frying food or anything. just organic olive oil, the rest MAY contain chemicals and may sting/hurt if you get it in your eyes. read the lapels carefully.

what you need.....

make-up (on) lol

olive oil, here I am using organic moroccan oil. straight from my mom's uncle's olive trees hehe. I put some in a small empty container which I got from walmart :) 

cotton (yes I cunt my nails, YES I need to re-paint them LOL)

Put a tiny amount of oil on the cotton, less is more

gently wipe your eye make up off. keep eyes closed, try not to get into the eye for this may cause irritation.  it doesn't for me, but everyone's body react differently

works in seconds! works like magic. it is so much more healthier than chemical makeup removers, it works so much better than chemical makeup removers, and it is much cheaper of course! and no it does not clog your pores, be sure to wash off the access oil, specially if you have oily skin like me! ENJOY

a maghribiya's new year resolution

2010 was a difficult year. I have been through a lot this year and in return  grew so much wiser. I have been through difficult heartaches;  from a person who I loved deeply, to a family member, to some of the best friends I have ever met. But loosing them made me stronger, wiser. Going through some difficulties made me turn to the one Person that is and will always be there for me; Allah (God). I became closer to my God, I started wearing Hijab and increased my interest and knowledge for Islam. 

After all, I am much happier with myself, I learned my own strength and learned to greatly love myself and not feel guilty or selfish about wanting to make my self happier before others. I am much more confident, I know what I want and what I don't want. and I will not let anyone try to bring me down. 

anyhow, goodbye 2010, heeeloooooo 2011! here are 11 resolutions for this new year.

1.Become more organized!!!!

2. Get a cute little notebook, and write a to-do list everyday. 

3.Get a grant tutor for calc, physics, and chemistry. 

4.NOT TEXT IN CLASS

5.Sit away from my loud and obnoxious friends in class to focus more. 

6.lead a healthier life style. 

7.grow my hair even longer.

8.focus focus focus in uni. 

9.DO ALL MY HOMEWORK ON TIME. 

10.get straight A's in alllll my classes. 

11.stay happy :D

okayyy, so CLEARLY my new year's going to be all about my education. Im really determined but I feel like last semester I was goofing around and stuff and its time to get serious again :)
what are some of your new years resolutions?

New year clebration?!? WHY SHOULD I celebrate exactly

Instead of feeling happy and the need to celebrate the new year, I have a weird unwelcoming feeling. Specially when I think of the last year's new years. I swear it feels like it was last week, last year on January,01,2010 at 12:00 I was at the airport in Dubai waiting in line to get my passport checked. I was excited to start the New year in a different country, this year I will be at work. I just feel sad when I think of how fast it went by and quite honestly I am scared of how fast it will keep going. its scary, I dont want my life to rush by. I mean people are always complaining "AH CAN SUNDAY COME ANY FASTER, CAN THIS HOUR GO BY ANY FASTER" and before you know it a whole year goes by. then two, three, four suddenly your whole life just passed by without you even noticing or feeling it.
I wish for my time to go as slow as possible, I want to feel every second of my living years to come.

all I remember is being at the airport in Dubai, random people in line saying "HAPPY NEW YEARS " to me, my mom hugging me and screaming happy new years..........................

XOXO-S.L


oh oh oh, I forgot to say something thank you all for the votes it means so much each time I view my blog and there are more vote! YOU ARE GREAT. :)

Eyebrow threading, Indian eyebrow threading.

first of all I'd like to thank the Indian women that invented threading! (I dont think she is still alive) but, YOU ARE A GENIUS THANK YOU.

I cam across threading a few years ago while shopping at the mall. today, almost every good mall I go to (in america) has an eyebrow threading place. it is a technique that removes unwanted facial hair, it is less painful than any other technique out there, and its also great for sensitive skin and the hair does not grow any thicker! I LOVE IT. 

whats even better is its easy and simple and about any one can do it themselves, and remember practice makes perfect :) 

(all the pictures below were taken by me unless stated otherwise, you may not use any of my photos with out permission. thank you)

WHAT YOU WILL NEED.... 

100% Cotton thread

 Scissors

 && your hands hehe :P

 Cut a piece of thread about that long, or about 20cm

 Tie the two ends of the thread. you will be left with a giant circle

 Put your hands in between the thread

 Twist one of your hands of about 7 times.

 The twisting will result in a couple of knots in the middle of the thread.

 You will be using it to act like scissors, as one hand opens the other should close moving the knots in one direction. as the knots move they will grab the hairs out.

 For little hairs, please use tweezers. you do not want to mess up your eyebrows :)

This can be used for eyebrows, lips chin or any facial area with unwanted hair :) P R A C T I C E
