As you may or may not know, Ramadan is upon us yet again and this year is yet another hard one in the UK (current fasting time of 18 hours!), the longest in 33 years in fact.
Though I rarely do foodie type posts, I felt this was related to my mummy blogs as all mums (let alone fasting mums) could do with a ~yummy~ healthy recipe that will give them an energy boost.. right? This recipe is perfect for general Summer days too and tbh I buy myself a Matcha Chiller at EAT all year round (or matcha lattes in the winter) so it's a pretty versatile drink/ingredient.

yum!

I knew the weather would heat up when we would start fasting, so I already prepared myself this year with a strategy that I'm hoping will work, read on for my explanation!

Tuesday Takeover: Shazia Haque Make-Up

Hello my lovelies! It's been a while since I've had a guest poster and since my friend Shazia (Shazia Haque Make Up on IG) has restarted her blog, I thought it would be perfect if she guest posted her Huda Beauty Lip Contour swatches for my Tuesday Takeover as I've been meaning to review this for a while! So it's basically a Sunday Swatches post too, but you get the gist lol. Hope you enjoy her post and show her some love over on www.ShaziaHaqueMakeup.com

Sunday Swatches: 5 Best Golden Highlighters

Here's a post I've been mentally putting together in my head for a while, based on my current obsession with highlighting.  There's days I legitimately want to shine like a beacon a la Amrezy in my attempt to blind people with my strobe so that they don't see how tired I really am.. and I think it works most days!
So I thought I'd put together a post of my favourite golden highlighters at the moment.. I can get away with some pinker-toned highlighters and some more bronze-toned ones so I may do a separate post for them altogether, but right now I'm drawn towards gold *sparkle emoji*.
So here's my current favourite line up of 5 Highlighters that I highly love:

FF: Smokey Grey Alice Through The Looking Glass Make Up Look

This weeks look is using the new Urban Decay Alice Through The Looking Glass palette (to which I have the original that you can spot in this UD post here). I asked you guys what colours you'd like me to use for a look and decided to pick Dream On as I haven't done a greyish look in a while.

FF: Smokey Navy Arabic Make Up Look

Hey guys!
This week I thought I'd get down to doing a smokey look as it's been a while..  and thought I'd jazz it up by using my newest lenses (Solotica Hidrocor Avela) and an Arabic style eyeliner. I uploaded a phone camera pic on Instagram (below) after a friend forced me to (I tend to keep looks under wraps until Friday's) but the response was lovely so I'm glad I did post it raw from my phone!
