• #SafsGlowGang ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to everyone who’s supported and sent me lovely messages about my event on Thursday and huge thank you to the lovelies who came along despite the protests!! If you do pop by the @beccacosmetics_oxfordstreet counter and see one of my cards do tag me in your stories so I can repost ☺️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve added the stories from the event to my highlights, now to get planning my own blogger event, which will need a lot of thought if I want to do it well! I have some ideas I need to fine tune a bit, but please do leave your suggestions about what area of London if best for you to travel to and what topics you’d like covered if you’re a blogger/instagrammer or thinking of becoming one; I want the event(s) to be motivating, inspiring and informative, so all suggestions welcome! 💗 #BECCAGlow #BECCABeauties #SafiyahsBeautyBabes

  • Dreamy Dinner ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dinner settings were amazing at @heckfield_place earlier this week, I was obsessed with the decor in every room and loved the aroma of burnt wood (which reminded me of the @maisonmargiela “By The Fireplace” candle, perf if you’re a fan of that comforting wood burning smell!) I love that everything at @heckfield_place is made there and fresh; I’ve always been a city girl but after this trip, I may have to take breaks outside of London as I’m convinced the stress of the city isn’t doing my health much favours! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ What’s your favourite place to travel to in the UK if you’re having a staycation, or do you have a place on your wish list? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dress: @reserved Hijab: @charmblackburn Boots: @primark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #heckfieldplace #presstrip #decorinspo #countrysidesettings

  • V I O L E T 💜⁣⁣ ~~~~~~~~~~~~⁣⁣ Couldn’t wait to share these new @jomalonelondon goodies (gifted) because one is PURPLE and the other is such an innovative idea!⁣⁣ First is the beautifully packaged Violet & Amber Absolu which is the second Absolu scent from JM and at a higher price point because it is similar to an essential oil, so it’s highly concentrated. It has notes of Violet and Amber of course but also Oud, so it’s quite strong.⁣⁣ ~~~~~~~~~~~~⁣⁣ Next is something I’ve been buzzing about since I saw it, the new travel-friendly fragrance combining palette with two solid perfumes complete with a protective pouch and cute pin to pop out the refills.⁣⁣ There are 10 refills available (including my fave - Mimosa and Cardamom) so there’s tons of combinations you could choose from and the prices for each refill are only £14-16, with the palette itself priced at £24.⁣⁣ I think this is a perfect for anyone who’s not tried Jo Malone before, or a great gift idea for someone who travels a lot or even a wedding gift!⁣⁣ [flowers: @flourish.uk, do support a fellow single mum for your flower needs!]⁣ ~~~~~~~~~~~~⁣⁣ What are your thoughts on innovative new products like this? Do you have a Jo Malone favourite?⁣⁣ #adgifted #jomalonelondon

  • G L O W G E T T E R⁣⁣ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~⁣⁣ Hands up if you’re a fan of looking bronzed and glowy 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️⁣ Managed to make it to the @nipandfab tanning event this week at one of my new fave places @glowbarldn, where my tonsils really appreciated the iced matcha latte!⁣ Tanning for women of colour is always a funny subject to talk about for various reasons; some think it’s silly as we already have melanin, but honestly I feel like I’ve personally lost melanin I was born with as we obvs don’t get a lot of sun here in the UK.⁣ Some have a cultural mindset and think fairer = prettier and whilst there’s beauty in ALL tones, I personally feel I look healthier with a tan so I crave the sun, although UV rays are harmful.⁣ I once took part in a “Tan For Women Of Colour” (TFWOC) project on the blog (let me know if you remember this!) and it was so interesting testing out various products, but as much as I love this safer method of a tanned look, it’s a process that I don’t have time for much these days as a mum! ⁣ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~⁣⁣ I am however loving the look and feel of the #nipfabtan body oil as it is soo mesmerising to look at in the bottle, but also gives that sun kissed look without the worry of a stain.⁣ The Bronzing Booster I’m actually going to test out using as a contour method because I don’t wear foundation everyday so I’m hoping it can help me look naturally chiselled 😅⁣ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~⁣⁣ Have you used tanning products before? What are your thoughts?⁣ #nipandfab #tanforwoc #tanning

  • It’s been 2 weeks since I last posted; which in the world of social media nowadays is ridiculous, but I’ve been sick and then after the devastating shooting in #NewZealand, it made me put a lot of things into perspective and think deeper. As I said on my story this week, I do feel like I’m part of two worlds: the social media/beauty world where diversity is embraced/celebrated and then the real world where there’s still huge prejudices and xenophobia. Being able to represent as a Muslim woman in a campaign or online has meant a lot to me - not because I seek fame - but because in a way it battles the real world prejudices and I hope maybe viewing a hijabi on screens for beauty campaigns makes it a bit more acceptable to the eye because yes we are also people with hobbies, jobs, families and we are part of this world/society too. So I will continue to represent my faith on my platform because it’s not what the media portray it to be and I also want to encourage everyone who follows me to be more positive in life and learn to love themselves as it’s so important. I hope and pray we all learn to be more understanding, tolerant and accepting as there’s too much hate and negative energy in the world and I want my son to grow up in a better world ideally! I hope you all have a blessed Friday, remember to be kind to everyone 💞✌🏽
