what shall i get????

alhumdullilah, masha'Allah, I have a cowife now. I have not met her in person just yet but we do exchange brief emails and chat online from time to time. My husband will be leaving soon for about a week 1/2 to visit insha'Allah. i'm not sure if she'll beable to fly bac with him as there is plenty of paper work to sort out, may Allah make it easy on them, aameen. I am kinda anxious and extremely nervous for when we do meet. even though i've been in polygny before, i still don't know what to expect, i just pray to Allah that everything is what it seems to be. just like everything in life, i have to put my trust in Allah pray for the best, right.

But aside from that, i wanted to pick up something for her (co-wifey), for husband to take to her when he leaves???? i do kno that she likes makeup just as i do, so I was thinkin about getting her some???? Still not sure where from though??? i wanna get her something that isn't easily accessible in her country, which is Morocco. i don't want to ask becuz i want it to be a surprise. Maybe i'll just email her and ask if there are any products shes been wanting to try from here that she can't get there and see what she says????? but besides make-up, i wanna get her a really good book regarding women and the huge role we play in Islam. there are a few titles i have in mind, will think about that too. anywho, we'll see what I come up with?????

Urban Decay, my new best friend :-D

Ok, so I've gone from the girl who owned quite few lipglosses and maybe two tubes of mascara, to the girl who has 4 Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes, multiple make-up brushes and other stuff. I think my husband thinks I'm crazy because for the last month I've purchased more makeup than I have in my 25 years of living. And I'm finding out that makeup can be expensive, but thats why you save and buy a little at a time. Anyways, my next fix is to purchase something from MACs hello kitty collection. I've been on you tube and pretty much seen all the products from the collection and heard plenty of thoughts about it. But, I refuse to go broke buying cosmetics, so I think I'm just gonna pick up a lipstick & gloss. I've been wanting to try out a foundation, too; but can't figure out how to choose one. I'm contemplating MakeupForever's Face&Body foundation or MAC's Face&body, I heard they're both really good and provide light coverage, which is exactly what I am lookin for. And of course I'd like to purchase a brush or two, esp MAC's 187 and a couple others. So yeah, if you have any suggestions on light coverage foundations (good ones), let me know. Thanx.

I am so thankful!!!!

Alhumdullilah, I have so much to be thankful for. I have been feeling much less worried and anxious lately, YAY. I've been putting more focus on other things important to me and I have been trying to concentrate on the positive side of everything. I hate when I complain and have made it a priority of mines to focus on all that Allah has blessed me with whenever i feel the need to complain. So insha'Allah with much dua and remembrance of Allah, I will be fine :-) Now I kno some days will be better than others and I am cool with that because my hardships and overcoming them has help shape the person I am today, YAY, again. :)
