Beauty Tips 4 Sisters

My dear sisters in Islam, Assalamu Alaikum w.w. please take a look at this advice, so that you can stay attractive and beautiful for the rest of your life.

1- To beautify your eyes, lower your gaze towards strange men, thiswill make your eyes pure and shiny.

2- To beautify your face and make it shiny, keep doing wudu minimum five times a day.

3- To have attractive lips, always mention Allah and remember to speak the truth.

4- As for blush and rouge, "Modesty" (Haya') is one of the best brandsand it can be found in any of the Islamic centers.

5- To remove impurities from your face and body, use a soap called"Istighfaar".(seeking forgiveness of Allah) this soap will remove any bad deeds.

6- Now about your hair, if any of you has a problem of hair split ends, then I suggest "Islamic Hijab" which will protect your hair from damage.

7- As for jewelry, beautify your hands with humbleness and let your hands be generous and give charity to the poor.

8- To avoid heart disease, forgive people who hurt your feelings.

9- Your necklace should be a sign to pardon your fellow brothers and sisters.

If you follow these advices given to you by the Creator, you will have a beautiful and attractive inner and outer appearance.

~Peace.

A Little Jet-Lagged

Hey~ How's it going? I got back from Indonesia on the 9/01/08, yesterday. Abdurrahman & I, my parents, my two brothers, my SIL and her baby, all went overseas for my brother's wedding. Alhamdulillah it was a great success and a lovely wedding. I'm very happy for my brother and his wife. I look at them and i'm reminded of my own self with my hubby when we were newlyweds. I left for Indonesia on the 23/12/07 plus a short stop-over @ Denpasar, Bali and arrived in Jakarta @ 11pm AEDT.

The Nikah was held on 28/12/07. They had two wedding ceremonies; on 29/12/07 @ our house in Bukittinggi and another one @ the bride's house on 30/12/07. Photos turned out awesome and i'll put some up here when I get the time.

Overall, Alhamdulillah my dad, abdurrahman & I arrived safely. But it's always a sad departure from your relatives, whom you only see once every 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 years.
