Primark Bag also £12.00

Hiya Beauties,

Sorry I wasn't able to post this before Christmas and well yesterday I was out shopping, went into Primark and found that they are still selling this handbag. Below I've put the pics which show what the bag looks like from inside and outside, I brought it intentionally for my laptop but it seems better as a carry-on bag. Like a travelling one. Oh by the way this I also brought for £12.00. Bargain haye!! (I think it's still for £12.00)

As you can see, that the laptop fits well, with a folder and a small bag, with toiletries. 

I love the bag design, its like a snake design skin.

Store Twenty One - £12.00

Hiya Beauties,

Hope your well, recently I have been busy with University as many of you would know for final year students it gets hard, with assignment, exams etc.

Well anyway, I brought this bag from store twenty one, its padded and its waterproof. I brought this bag intending to use it for my laptop, because I am a very clumsy person, and often damage my expensive things quickly, so having a padded bag was a good idea. And it was only for £12.00.

I hope you enjoyed the blog, if you would like to get a family or friend (clumsy person) a gift for Christmas, then you can probably get this from Store Twenty One. 

Like on +Facebook+ Fan Page, follow on +Instagram and +Google+ I have got another bag which I might post later today or tomorrow, so you could go and get in time to buy it. 

Thank you,

        Mahwish

I class myself as British Pakistani Muslim. However I would like to trace my ancestors to where they came from.

Have you had any big injuries?

I've been asked this a few times, never had big or serious injuries but I remember when I was little our back garden had a lot of grass and flowers. So me and my cousins decided to use real life utensils to make perfume... yeah perfume.

Hajj Mubarak 2014 and Islamic New Year 1436

Hello Beauties,

I hope you are all doing well. Last week on the 18th October my Mamu g (uncle) and Momani g (auntie) came back from Hajj. They had the blessing of completing a Akbari Hajj. We haven't had any one go to do Hajj in a while so we were all happy and extremely excited that they were coming back. Now that they are back its absolutely beautiful to hear the stories of how they completed the pilgrimage. 

However Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calender has started. This month people try not to celebrate as every Muslim tries to mourn for the Prophet (saw) grandchildren Hassan and Hussain.

The image I took from my aunty. Of the Kaba sharif. masha'Allah the are so many Hujjaj's.

My outfit was from a shop on Stratford Road. It was a fusia Pink, I matched black accessories to calm the pink down. 

My kameez (top) was short from the front and long from the back. 

I hope you enjoyed my posts, and I hope you are following me on +Instagram, +Google+, +Facebook+ Fan Page as I keep all my followers updated on that as much as possible. 

Speak to you soon,

Handbag 2 from Swan Shopping Centre

Heya Beauties,

So my first purchase from the Bag Stall in the Swan Shopping Centre, I decided to go back and get another bag, so I brought this one on Wednesday, and at that time they still did have the same bag available. They have it in two colours the colour I brought it in which is a blue but a dark shade of blue, and they have it in like a cream/camel colour.

As the dark blue makes the key ring and scarf stand out it attracted my eye the instance I was walking past there stall. Well anyways, I didn't tell you the price for the other bag because they didn't have it in stock. Any whos the bag costs £20, although they have many other bags ranging from £10-£20, and the wallet costs £5.

Below I have uploaded the pictures of the bag at different angles, I hope you do like it and do go and check out the stall at the Swan Shopping Centre. (Am afraid the pictures don't do justice!)

Above left to right: Front of the bag with the scarf and key chain and back of the bag, with the long strap

Coconut Oil tips and uses

Hello Beautiful people,

Okay, so I've been extremely lazy/busy over the past two months and I was unable to post much on here and my Facebook fan page. Believe me I haven't forgotten you all.

So I am now back at University, it's my second week back and I can't believe I'm a second year student. Next summer I would officially become a graduate.

Okay now back to what I was going to post. Today I wanted to share the speciality of Coconut Oil, we at home love this beautiful bliss by God. So I'm going to give you a list of 20 things that it is useful for (something I might not necessarily use it for but you could try it).

If you buy original coconut oil, you wouldn't be
able to get it as a oil, it would look like this.

When you warm the bottle because you can't
obviously get the block out so you have to
warm the bottle on the stove, the oil would
gradually come back down.

1. Apply to dry hair, and leave it in as long as you can. Once the oil has been on for a bit wash it normally with shampoo.

2. Pour some in a small tub/container and uses as a daily lip moisturiser (this works wonders especially in the winter)

3. Use it as an underarm deodorant. Now with this I usually would suggest to wipe the underarm so it's dry and then get some oil on the fingertips and just pat it on the underarm.

4. Use as a make up remover. As this has no chemicals its brilliant to wipe make up. (usually you can get way with any oil to wipe away make up)

5. Use to reduce stretch marks. Coconut oil is really good to reduce stretch marks.

6. You could use it as a sun cream/sun screen. (I am not entirely sure about this. I'm sure if someone sat with oil on they would bake)

7. Apply a small amount on cracked or rough heels to smooth them out.

8. Rub a tiny bit of coconut oil on the inside of the nostrils. This actually helps with runny nose, any allergies and also sore nostrils.

9. Use as a mascara cleanser.

10. Use on eyelashes to strengthen them out.

11. Apply small oil on a cotton bud and apply it to spots or acne

12. Massage on to hands, too moisten and help with hangnails and ingrown nails, especially good for winter times.

13. It is also safe for pregnant women to help with stretch marks

14. Could be applied to fresh tattoos in healing them

15. You could use it to prep and remove excess wax off the skin

16. Mix a small quantity with oat meal and cinnamon for a face scrub

17. Pour a little amount on chewing gum which has got stuck to shoes, carpets, or any hard to reach areas

18. Instead of applying chemicals on fresh plants to give them healthy nutrients, either put it on a cloth and wipe each leaf or pour in a spray bottle

19. Put some on a cloth to polish the inside of a car interior

20. And finally, when kitchen scissors get sticky wipe it with a bit of coconut oil.

Thank you for reading and enjoying my post on coconut oil, I would just like to leave a disclaimer that what might work for me would not necessarily work for you. If you are going to try any of the tips above I would suggest you try it on a small area in case any damage is caused.

I hope you try some of these tips out and do let me know whether it worked for you or not. Do like my +Facebook+ Fan Page and follow me on +Google+ and +Instagram (by the way if you hover over and click on the blue links it would allow you to get following me)

Peshwari Outfit

Heya Beauties,

I hope your well, over the weekend I attended a birthday party, and well we decided to wear this Peshawari Outfit, we did also get this made by order all the way from Peshawar. We asked a worker to get four different colours and this style and pattern. Believe it or not but this outfit was really comfortable, I can understand why a lot of Peshwari women wear this outfit here in the UK too. Well anyways enjoy the pictures.

The bag came with the outfit but it was a 3 piece suit consisting of the trouser, shirt (frock), and a scarf. My Khusay are from UK and they are the same ones I wore on Eid.

I hope you enjoyed this pictues, I wasn't able to take them in daylight because the party was in the evening and I'm sure you could work out that I was really tired when taking these pictures at 1am. But anyways, I hope this outfit post was useful and I hope you liked it a lot. Make sure to follow me on Google, Instagram @mahwishrehna and like my Facebook page - Ms Beauty 9.

   Hope to speak soon,

Eid-ul-Fitr 2014 Mubarak

Hi to all the beauties around the world,

I know I'm very late in posting this but Eid Mubarak to you all, I hope you had a fab-tastic Eid. Well anyways we were well, - dressed for Eid. Below I'm posting pics of first day and second day of Eid outfit pictures. I'll inform more in the captions, under the pictures.

This year we decided we'd go for the 'Dhoti Shalwar', the top was a 'Anarkali Frock' but mum made it into a tail dress.  

As it's hot, I wanted my hair out of my face so my sister put my hair in to a small puff and designed a bun behind. 

The neck of the outfit was quite heavy so my jewellery was very simple, with a headpiece and earrings. I had a watch and my favourite bracelet on one arm, the other arm I had two small bangles. My bag I brought from a shop on Stratford Road. The Chanel Case was a Eid gift from my Dad and Brother. I had this lovely simple pair of anklet bracelets which my friend had brought from India. And these awesome Khussay were from a shop on Ladypool Road. 

You could see the tail of the Anarkali in these three pictures.

                                Me and my three sisters.

2nd Day outfits were much simple than the 1st day as me and two of my sisters brought the same but my little sister couldn't get it in her size (she's currently falling in that silly category where we can neither get her children size nor adult size). So my mum had to sew hers, very similar to ours. 

Just a few shots we took, the trousers are apparently called 'Plazzo' - thats the name its called in Pakistan, there are many shops selling them here in the UK too. Again the trousers were plain and my mum added the border and a bobble border at the bottom.

I love this brotch type of thing on the top of the kameez, it added a different touch to the outfit, made the outfit stand out. 

 Is it just me or does this picture on the look like its a Pakistani-laangar? This was really comfortable to wear and very cool, couldn't feel warm/hot in this at all. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, for more details or any information on where I got anything from do get in contact with me on and make sure to follow me on +Instagram or +Google and like my +Facebook+ Fan Page

I'm planning to post more, as I haven't been lately so, watch out for more posts than usual.

Kaftan outfit

Heya Beauties,

   I hope your all well, and I hope those that are fasting are find it okay to keep. I haven't posted in ages I know, lately I haven't been free. So I thought I do a post today, I hope to post a few more times this week, one is a video of some brushes I received last week, but I'll let you know more about it in a few days.

For now I wanted to share with you a outfit which was asked by me a lot over the weekend when I wore it. Over the weekend here in Birmingham, UK, it was quite warm all day, cooler in the evening though, and me and my sisters wanted to go Eid shopping, so I wore a Kaftan when I brought this a while ago I brought it as Shalwar Kameez however now its turned it to something totally different. As you can see the top is a Kaftan and the trousers are the new out Palazzo trousers although they're not as big as those, but I believe they come in the same category. But anyways, I felt very cool and relaxed in this outfit. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

I hope you enjoyed this post, I am sorry I haven't posted in a while but I will try to do a couple more posts in the upcoming days.
