Flames, Marshmallows, and Chocolate

Oh what a slice of melted chocolate cake and marshmallows does to a girl like me.


I forgot to post about this fabulous new heater we got months ago for winter, ultra modern, chic, and easy to light up and extinguish. A side of marshmallow cake didn't hurt either.


You just pour in some gel and light it up. Lasted around 45 minutes-1 hr.





This is what happens to the cake after a mere 5 minute attack:)


 Enjoy! xoxo

Another Day, Another Outfit

The weathers been funky the last couple of weeks, where everyone's itching to break out in summer and spring colors but its still a bit chilly. Thus we have the below:




Earrings Asos, Lavender Jeans River Island, Belt Zara, Plaid Shirt old Zara Men, Bracelets Mom:)

Trying To Blush...

I'd been hearing great reviews about this blush and decided to try it out. Unfortuently Nars is discontinued in Kuwait which is weird since I know a lot of women who love their products, anyway, i asked my wonderful friend Nouri to get me it from London. 
 The name: Orgasm by Nars. There's also a Super Orgasm *haha* but it's way to shimmery for my taste.


The result: it's ok. I mean to keep it and try it out in the summer with a tan, I bet it'll look amazing then. As of now, post winter, my lovely trustworthy Laura Mercier 4 tone pink blush is still my favorite.

Marie Claire Spain - Olivia Palermo!





I know this is going against everything I want to be (not the typical consumer who may fall for the pressures to fall in love with the faces and personas of some models/celebs) but my God what an editorial!!! The make-up is superb and so is the styling (may have not repeated the camera holding), the hair, and lets not forget the cheekbones. Perfect spring colors and inspiration. Favorite shot: Number 2.

Lebanese Parcel of Love

My siblings and mother recently came back from a short trip to Lebanon and this was my gift ( I do love them so):

 Silver earrings encased in ribbon and plastic which was a lovely change from the regular earring cases.
 This light beautiful hand painted scarf.
 A handmade cow made from crochet, to hang on a door with a real bell!
 A hilarious joke of a book my sisters got me, what a difference time has had on society.
 Handmade soap with a strong pungent smell of pure clean. Sigh.
 Another handmade product: A Lampshade which I have yet to put on display. Absolutely love it tho!
And these beautiful thin rings, one of the evil eye and the other of a butterfly, gorgeous.

Pretty is the word.

One of Norway's Hanneli Mustaparta's gorgeous casual outfits. The colors are so spring, and lets not forget her amazing cheekbones! 

 Crazy amazing accesory! An invisible clutch by Margeila with a white rose placed inside. So Dior and romantic. Problem is trying to fit in keys, a phone or two and lipstick! Oorrr we could just hold on to that stuff in the other hand. First world pain people.

 Definitely getting this asap. Stella Mccartney's latest runway show had all the models donning this fabulous bright violet mascara. In love.
Such a pretty coat...

Get Back Home To Find... CHANEL!



Oh the joy it brings to not only be surprised, but be surprised by a giant chanel bag waiting for you to open up its contents! At first I thought it was just a bag used to transfer stuff to and from places, empty of Chanel-ness, but oh the joy I tell you. Thank you dear S for the cutest purple Hoop Earrings and matching Chain Bracelet. I also got one Feirce A &F perfume since you can not have one too many of those! AND lots and lots of munchies *that did not poof out of existence just two days later*




 Like my nail polish? So thankful glitter is out of the doghouse again!



This smell, as does the store and its workers *ahem models* all make my insides melt!
