Origins Skin Care~

I've never used anything from the Origins skin care line but I had my eye on the Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream and Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cream. So, I did my research online, read reviews and decided to just give it a try. I placed an order before the holidays and it finally arrived today-- along with a goody bag! I got mine from Macys. Watch this space for a full review soon~


Rosena Sammi Bangles~

I love everything traditional and these Rosena Sammi bangles remind me of the rich culture of Pakistan/India. I am sure many of you have heard or even shopped on Hautelook.com (link!) For those who have not, it's a great website to shop designer brands on sale. They have 50-75% off designer brands and the sale starts every day at 11am Pacific time. Hautelook had Rosena Sammi bangles on sale couple of weeks ago so I just had to grab some! I got three pairs. I don't recall the names but I'll link her website below. She has a great collection! The label on the bangles says that they are all hand-made so that's a plus! I really adore and appreciate all hand-made things.

They finally arrived today! eeek! can't wait to wear them <3 here's a sneak peek!



Here's the link to Rosena Sammi's website! Check it out: Rosena Sammi.

Watch this space for Outfit of the day/night featuring these lovely bangles!

Light upon Light~

Never be without remembrance of Him,
for His remembrance
gives strength and wings
to the bird of the Spirit.
If that objective of yours
is fully realized, that is
"Light upon Light"...
But at the very least, by
practicing God's remembrance
your inner being
will be illuminated
little by little and
you will achieve
some measure of detachment
from the world.
Rumi ♥
 




"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
The parable of His Light is a niche wherein is a lamp—
the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a glittering star—
lit from a blessed olive tree,
neither eastern nor western,
whose oil almost lights up,
though fire should not touch it.
Light upon light.
Allah guides to His Light whomever He wishes.
Allah draws parables for mankind,
and Allah has knowledge of all things." 35: 24
