Day 24: Something I Wish I Could Change

I'm the type of person that doesn't do well with negative change. Whether its a small unexpected alteration in my daily schedule or a major life changing event, either way its hard for me to deal with change (on different levels of course depending on the circumstances). What I dislike most about change is the fact that most of the time, you don't see it coming. Sometimes I go to bed, wake up, and suddenly my entire life is different. Clearly, the change is not over night, but it seems that way. Recently, somethings have changed for the worst and I am not taking it well what so ever. If I could make a wish, it would be for people to not change and to always be a part of my life, instead of just disappearing in the blink of an eye. Yes, as crazy as it sounds, I'm making a wish to change, change. I know people change and time goes on, but I'm tired of it, so I'm going to leave this wish as it is and hope for all the good things in my life to remain as they are inshAllah. 

Moozlum Premiere Weekend

If you haven't seen Moozlum yet, then you are truly missing out! I advise all of you to go out and watch this once in a life time movie with your family and friends. I promise, it is well worth it. I saw it last night at the D.C. premiere and I loved it. The best over all experience was at the end of the movie when the the audience broke out into Takbeers. I wish I could experience it all over again. MashAllah, I'm so proud of the Muslim ummah for making this happen and supporting Moozlum director Qasim Basir.  

Question

So...what do you think of the layout change??
Do you like this look better or the old one?

Back On My Look-Book Flow

Day 23: Favorite Book

Honestly, this was a hard pick for me. College has definitely interfered with my leisure time and I can't remember the last time I picked up a book to read just for fun. I chose The Notebook, because it was one of those books that I instantly fell in love with after reading once and I found myself re-reading. I read it before the movie came out, so I wasn't influenced by that (even though the movie was amazing). Nicholas Sparks has a beautiful writing style, and I would recommend that you read all of his novels. 

Happily Ever After

 If you haven't noticed, on my blog there is a section titled "love & relationships" and since this is a blog mainly intended for Muslim women (whose population, might I add are 99.99% obsessed with weddings!), I thought I would include some posts on that topic. I've only done two posts about Islam and love, so I thought I would do a third and include some beautiful photos I came across of that made me smile. I hope it will do the same for you inshAllah. 
P.S. For those who personally know me, don't take this too literally, i'm not getting married just yet ;) lol

For all my Arabs out there, did you notice that this is the same dress worn by Elissa in her "3a Bali" video clip?

This dress is my favorite :)

Hanan Turk, Egyptian actress that became a hijabi. MashAllah, I truly admire her for turning down all the indecent acting roles for the cause of Allah SWT. May Allah protect her always. Ameen.

I wonder if this dress can be altered into a more modest style?

Malaysians are the cutest!

Which wedding dress is your favorite?
