sleeveless coat
Fall is right around the corner and is easily my favorite season. The vibrant hues of the leaves whirling in the brisk wind, cups of hot apple cider, that little chill in the air is a wonderful reprieve from the hot and humid summers down in the South. For the hijabi, it’s also a time to break out our modest fashions. Here is my take on a trend this season, the sleeveless coat. It is a very versatile and easy look that you can dress up or down, perfect for those not quite warm or cold days of fall. I also love a good hat and found this one in H&M. I found the vest on Etsy. You can pair this look with a berry lip for that fall touch. I am petite and have some meat on my bones, so this look is easily wearable by anyone!
My wonderfully talented 10 year old took these pics and wanted to make sure I gave her a shoutout! Love you my baby
As a working mom, it is quite easy to work ourselves too much. Most moms in general are always overworked but as a working mom, we need to get everyone ready in the morning, fight traffic on our commute and deal with our personal work situations and commute home and start all our work chores. It can all get very overwhelming and before you know it, the carousel has stopped and life has passed us by. I am lucky enough to have a supportive spouse and cannot imagine what it is like for single moms, but it is very important to have some type of support system. This can be in the form of family, friends or paid help, but if possible, do try to take even a small break in the day. Sometimes this can be in the form of a 15 minute walk, that mile can start to add up! Or just really taking a moment to observe and using the 5 senses to let it all in, when cuddling with the kids, just inhaling their scent and noticing how their limbs feel and how strong they are becoming. Noticing the color of the clouds at sunset, the smell of the air as fall comes in or feeling the chill in the air and the warmth of a fire/ just try to be in the moment.
Hey guys! I have decided to split my blog posts into different categories such as parenting, lifestyle and fashion/beauty tips. This one is about a little but pretty effective rule in our house.. no electronics during weekdays. We actually found this rule from the Obamas and if it’s good enough for the First family, it’s good enough for us! No TV, computer, Ipad, etc, basically no screen time. Lately, as the kids have grown older, some of their schoolwork has been on the class websites so we have had to bend the rule a bit but basically no entertainment from the screen. The hard part is applying this rule to the parents! I feel that rule has allowed the children to bond more with each other and us and allows for them to use more imaginitive play which I hope will be a lesson that they can carry on in their future lives.
Welcome friends! This is my first blog post! I have been frustrated with the lack of advice for Muslim ladies over 35 and for working moms in general and have decided to take action instead of sitting around and complaining about it. The goals for this blog are to seek and give advice for the working mom that does not want to compromise on her faith, fashion and wants to have some fun too! Every week, I will try to bring a bit of advice on life, fashions, trends, parenting and general well being, hope you enjoy it!!! I look forward to this being a positive forum, constructive criticism is welcome, destructive is not. Lets help strengthen each other and the world… we can make a difference, even if it’s just saying a prayer or sending out a positive vibe to the universe…
