Bath & Body Works Haul

The Prophet  said, “If anyone fulfills his brother’s needs, Allah will fulfill his needs; if one relieves a Muslim of his troubles, Allah will relieve his troubles on the Day of Resurrection.” [Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]


Hello sisters, 

One of my good friends recently traveled to the States to visit her family there...When I have friends travelling to elsewhere around the globe, I have a habit of asking them to buy some stuff back home coz I love collecting stuff from that country that is expensive here or that we rarely find here in Singapore...Besides even if we find it here, it would cost us a bomb.

I took this opportunity to ask my friend to get me some stuff from Bath & Body Works from the States. Though this brand just opened their showroom in Marina Bay Sands Singapore, I still find it slightly pricier than what I can get for from the States.

I actually shamelessly gave my friend a very long list to buy but due to time constraint my friend managed to get me most of what I requested. Here is me wishing my friend N :) a very big Thank You for going through all the trouble.

So shall we move on to view what she got for me!

I love Bath & Body Works products coz they just smell soooooo good. 

I really needed the 3 wick candles but the scent I wanted was already sold out.  So, she had to give that a pass..

Next would be Handsoap that I really needed for my washrooms.

Malibu Sunset

Made from an exclusive blend of moisturizing Honey Coconut Milk and Olive Fruit extracts this exclusive anti-bacterial hand soap helps nourish and soften skin. Gentle bursts of lightweight foam washes away dirt and germs leaving hands soft and lightly scented with your favourite fragrances!

• · Experience the romantic glow of sunset with intoxicating peony petals & blooming           jasmine, uplifted by sweet lemon for an extra vibrant touch
• · A delightful blend of natural ingredients come together to produce this amazing   
•   fragrance. Perfect for use day or night.
• · Not tested on animals

It sure does make my washroom colorful and smell good too....

This was sold at 2 for USD 14 :) I find this a much better deal than what we get in Singapore...

Next was shower gels....they have a huge collection of scented shower gels, but I have been hearing a lot of wonderful comments on Forever Sunshine. 

Forever Sunshine 

Wash your way to softer, cleaner skin with a rich, bubbly lather bursting with fragrance. Moisturizing Aloe Vera and Vitamin E combine with skin-loving Shea Butter in our most irresistible, beautifully fragranced formula!

• Top Notes: Juicy Tangerine, Golden Apricot, Sparkling Mandarin, Exotic Berries
• Mid Notes: Gardenia Petals, Freesia, Pink Peonies
• Dry Notes: Vanilla Bean Gelato, Creamy Sandalwood, Nuzzly Musks, Sweet Praline

This also came at an awesome price of just 2 for USD 14 :) Totally worth it. The next thing I got was 2 Maybelline Eyeshadow pallets...

I was actually wanting Lorac Eyeshadow pallet but my bad luck, there wasnt any.

So I took the Maybelline brand for my Eyeshadows.

Maybelline - Emerald

One thing I really love about these pallets is that it comes with markings of which should go where. So in order to bring out the smokey effect on our eyes, these are very useful and they match which is the best part. Cant wait to try this out soon....

Maybelline - Ruby

Doesnt the colors just blend in :) They look soo beautiful!

Hoping to apply these wonderful colors while at parties or my events or In shaa Allah while im on holiday. These cost similar as well....

Thanks for the loot my dear friend...

Its time like these, that make me very happy for the quality and worth of the stuff that I pay money for and not feel guilty for spending...

Thats all for today...Tune in for more tomorrow.

Love

Types of Teas and their Benefits...

 “If Allah puts anyone in the position of authority over the Muslims’ affairs and he secludes himself (from them), not fulfilling their needs, wants, and poverty, Allah will keep Himself away from him, not fulfilling his need, want, and poverty.” [Abu Dawud]

Salam Sisters,

Happy Muharram to all of you...Today has been very nice as well. Ever since I quit, I have been able to spend time with my little one and rest. Not only have I been able to focus on my business future projects and ideas, I am much more relaxed and less stressed now. 

Like me, I am sure those who are going to work or under the peer pressure of family members have a troubled mind and may not be in peace. You may not have been able to sleep peaceful with all these thoughts in your mind. Be at peace my sisters, Life is actually a joke...Laugh it out! We are never going to make out of it alive, so why kill yourself with stress and problems and over thinking on the way...

There are plenty of ways to kill stress...Some may love to do something that they really like to remove stress, it may be listening to music, sleeping, reading, cooking, dancing whatever it may be, it should take your mind away from it.

For me, I like to drink some hot tea and relax in a cozy couch and watch some comedy movies and laugh my heart out. Tea is actually a soothing drink which relaxes your pulses in your mind. I drink my tea black and this really keeps me fresh and alert. There are different teas, earlier in my previous blogposts I would have written about green teas. There are different teas in the market right now but there are some teas that really help us. Below are a few of them. Hopefully you find them useful.

Body Shop Haul

“There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) health and free time for doing good.” [Sahih Bukhari]

Hello my sisters,

Been too busy this morning trying to figure out plans for our event which coming up on 25th November! So excited. Hopefully my first event goes well...Have been receiving positive reply and comments so far. In sha Allah next week would be a very busy week for me as my supplier would be back from his holidays and I can place my orders for my customers.

Anyways, after resigning from my really stressful job, I needed some retail therapy at a budget of course...Only certain things can satisfy my stressful mood and aromatherapy stuffs is one of them. As I was walking through the mall, one of my favourite brands was having a sale!

Need I tell, I was rushing across the hall like a warrior in a battle, to beat the crowd and to pick out my favourites before it sold out hahaha :)

So since i of course couldnt spare too much as I already have ordered some stuff my friend I didnt want to go overboard and buy too much...

Thus, I came back with these...

Yes! Body Shop it is!!

Usually you would find most of its products slightly reasonable than other brands but yet still i prefer to get mine usually on their sales like these...

Curious to what I got?? I bought 4 mini bottles of shower gels for SGD 10 :) Although mini it can really last quite a bit and their aroma ooh yes it lasts longer :)

I usually get lotions as well, but since I already have too many lotions at home that I havent even started using yet, I gave them a pass. I needed more travel size mini packs like this so I can carry them around, especially on my holiday :) Boy! M i gonna smell good there hahaha...

Indian Night Jasmine Shower Gel

This is the first time I am seeing this scented shower gel and the name kinda triggered me to smell it and get it. hahaha this name is somehow kind of reminds me of "First night" where usually the room is decorated with jasmine flowers ahahaha... so i assume this is very suitable for the brides to shower before their first night ;) wink wink ahem ahem

HoneyMania Shower Gel

This smelled kinda like honey but not too strong yet subtle and sweet...It suited for that relaxing nights after a hard days work. Cant wait to try this out.

Moringa Shower Gel

Another new addition that I have yet to try. This soap-free shower gel contains real moringa seed oil and has the delicate scent of white flowers. I cant wait to try this either. This is also not too strong yet soothing and sweet.

Last but not the least

Japanese Cherry Blossom

One of my all time favourites and one of the most famous and fast moving scented product in Body Shop. Trust me you will never go wrong with this shower gel or lotion or scent. It just smells too good you gotta smell it to believe it. :) Try it and give it a go !

I am extremely happy with my haul...

Next haul was done by a close friend and its from the US....

Stay tuned to find out what ... 

Love
