Pretty Things Come in Small Packages

Ola readers! It’s so good to find the time to blog this weekend. The last two weeks have been crazy busy for me and last week was especially tough. I was working hard on an essay about Shi’a Muslims and because I chose a topic I barely knew anything about, the essay was quite a challenge! I was so happy when I finally finished and handed it in yesterday.

Today I slept in for the first time in two weeks. When I woke up and went downstairs for breakfast there was a parcel with my name on it waiting for me on the table.

It was the pair of earrings I had won from Saba Azam Jewellery when I entered a competition over at SSouq during Ramadan! It was such a lovely surprise and I couldn’t wait to see them with my own eyes. When I opened up the box what I saw truly made my day.


These earrings are so me! I love how they're elegant and dangly, and I adore the heart-shaped stones and not to mention the beautiful turquoise colour as well. I was also delighted with the professional packaging and the personal touch added by the designer. Saba wrote me a note on her company’s very own personalised postcard. How sweet and impressive is that? 



Thank you so much Saba Azam! You’ve made a sleep deprived and stressed out girl oh-so-over-the-moon today. I feel all warm and special now. To top it all off, I have always loved UK fashion finds because I personally think they look less generic so this is just perfect. And thank you to Amber from the Sisters Who Blog  network for coming up with Ssouq. I’m sure all the other winners are enjoying their prizes too.

I, for one, am so in love with my gorgeous brand new earrings.

Shahirah, I seriously love how you adorn your hijab. For a newbie (not that newbie anymore ey) you, I think you wear it sooooo much better than me! Could you do a tutorial when you're free? :)

It's so nice when a package comes in and there's something so girly inside.I'm always so excited when I order something per post and than I receive a box with some cosmetic in it...can't imagine how exciting it would be if I won something :)...
Compliments also for the look!
