Hip-hop! Skip rope!

Down the memory lane, reminiscing childhood takes you to the other side of world and brings the brightest smile on your face. Nobody can deny about this cherishing phase of life which leaves you with unforgettable memories. (Miss those days!) Okay let's come back, keep the emotional drama aside and talk about something related to the thing we all used to do and by the way I still do it. (Giggles*) Fitness with fun, what am I going to write on? Any guesses? No?Hold on ladies!  Read the quote below, it may help you in guessing. "Skipping rope every day, keeps the fat away."  Skipping rope or jumping rope is one of the exercises you did or doing for fitness. It has been the part of life since childhood, no matter who you're? Either a boy or girl. It is equal to do any other cardio-work-out, jogging and running. In this fast and furious world, to manage time for working out and keeping yourself that much fit is somehow difficult to manage; especially the w

Lipstick-love-corner

" Give a lipstick to the girl and she'll conquer the world." Gone are the days when I was not a makeup lover at all. My friendship with cosmetics is just growing up day by day. But the matter of lipsticks is something else. ( Love it dude) Few days ago, International lipstick day was celebrated.I came across so many things that day on Facebook and Instagram. It was flooded with lipstick-affairs and the love of women for it could be clearly seen. I thought to write about my favorite lipstick shades but reach you people today after 5-6 days approximately. Here it goes now! To start with my LIPSTICKS,I want to share that I don't use NUDE lip-colors. To some extent, #nude doesn't suit me. The number one in my favorites is from Γ‰tudue . It's dusky-pink shade illuminates my complexion. It is glossy and dewy. I use it without applying any gloss or vaseline. It gives perfect shine without glossy balms. This one is always found in my bag since I use

Pondering over Pond's - Review

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing very well out there. (Wink*) It's time to share my experience about a beauty product- Pond's  White Beauty All-in-One BB+ Fairness Cream.  In the race of introducing new makeup or beauty products from the manufacturer,it has become so easy to choose what goes right with your skin type and skin tone. But the most vulnerable skin type is "oily skin" that is "acne prone" at the same time.  Oily skin is too difficult to deal with in daily routine especially for the working-women. I have the same acne prone skin and it makes me more conscious and concerned while applying anything on my face. Whenever I used any beauty product like most of the creams available in market, I got a big pimple that used to appear over night.  This time the magical thing I got and applied is "Pond's  White Beauty All-in-One BB+ Fairness Cream." It's really amazing product of ponds. (I must admit it)  I was amazed ho

Is ad making a child's play?

(When you aren't in mood of doing anything, but a point constantly pinches you to talk about, you get up and start writing; that's what I'm doing hehehe :-D ) My cellphone rang on a notification, I checked my cell and it was a mail which I received from Careem. I checked it as everyone does after receiving any mail/notification. It was about the new service offered by careem. What is connection between ride and rishta wali auntie? Does it make sense? Should Careem take such initiative to call people's attention? Is it only from Pakistan's Careem services? What rubbish is the halal way to find rishta? This is the screenshot of email The first thing I uttered " What nonsense?"  Marketing services of any company has a huge responsibility since it leads the company through making ads and advertising about its new services or offers. Careem is not a name of any tom, dick and harry; it's Dubai based international transportation company.

Keep calm and visit Oaklay's Bistro

They sell nothing but taste! By saying a big Hello to weekend, I've got something to review about. I'm huge fan of chillers/smoothie/juices and my never-ending love for these drinks urges me to look at juices menu first. I also love doing experiments with fruits to make irresistible and flavorful juices/drinks. (Wink wink wink!  I'll post about my favorite ones very soon) Till then let's talk about the amazing place in the town. If you're making plan to hang out and you are madly in love with juices or chillers, I would suggest you that don't forget to visit  Oaklay's Bistro.  You can have a contradictory opinion, but this American restaurant in Faisalabad is a must have in anyone's hanging out locations list. The wonder-drink of this place which makes me think about to visit again is Mint Margrita .  I took this picture few months back when I went there first time. It was fantabulous drink The first visit urged me to go and drin

Like father, like daughter

"Like father, like son Like mother, like daughter" is an old saying though. Be innovative and think differently! Since it's Tuesday and I will meet you on Saturday, I thought to leave behind something very interesting for you to read. People often ask me how would you write? My joy knows no bounds when I hear such  questions. There may be a connection of my this skill with my studies or my professional life. But I strongly believe that i genetically inherited this trait/skill  from my FATHER . He is an amazing poet and used to be a correspondent-journalist few years back. He has been writing for the well-known magazine about the fact-files of our city. His literary skills are applaudable! His poetry is worth-reading. This is the reason behind my story, it is possible that I'm not so good but I'm trying my level best to be like him. He is my inspiration in a real sense and I love him unconditionally! So the credit goes to him for this matchless gen

Desi things in beauty regime

In ancient time, aleo vera was called "Plant of immortality". We can't arise a single question on it because this is the exact title for it. This plant has great wonders in it. It has placed its value as a "Guru" in natural remedies for skin care. So this is the topic of discussion on my blog post today. The things coming your way are those I personally use it for skin care and hair mask. It does magic to my skin and hair at the same time. As I have acne prone and oily skin, this is the best thing I ever used to make me feel good when I have break outs. I'll share how I use it for my hair and skin. Hair affair: Aloe vera contains something called proteolytic enzymes which repairs dead skin cells on the scalp. To soothe the scalp and get rid of the frizz I use its gel on hair. It is beneficial for hair growth. How to make mask: Peel off aleo vera leaf Scoop out gel Add two/three tablespoon of mustard oil in aloe vera gel Beat it to mix wel

Uniqueness is my attribute!

Today I am going to share how & why "Uniqueness is my attribute."   I decided to talk about it as I've common yet rare name and so is the title of my blog. (not boasting off,it is a fact indeed....winked) "My name is in a class by itself,whether people agree with it or not Lemme start from the story behind my name "ZAINAB-UL-GHAZALY" .  Like many of you, I also got this beautiful name from my father. His literary skills made him choose this one for me. Actually, a famous Egyptian  lady with the same name (may have different spellings) was already there. She was   human rights activists. She was also the founder of Muslim women's Association.  My father was so inspired by her efforts to empower women and I believe that her goodwill convinced my father to select this name for her daughter. (I always feel so good on having such a rare name!) This is the fact that I may not have the same qualities what she possessed, but that spirit of

Rain & Brain-What's the Connection?

I've been thinking since Tuesday that what to write on my next blog-post? Many ideas were floating in my mind, but i was stuck in those "so-many". A day before yesterday, it rained so heavily. I,m a Pluviophile, rainfall drives me to the other part of the world every time, so my brain spontaneously grabbed something very interesting to write on! "Rain, rain come again, joys,sorrows and sunny tomorrows, Your emotions drive me insane." Yes, yes! It is about the connection of the rain with the brain. Let me tell you what i feel when it rains. I'm a Rain-Lover , my heart beats the other way round when i hear the dripping tic-tac-toe of rain drops. The enchanting sight of rain showers seems like blessings are sprinkling down from heaven. A strong cup of Tea and snacks like our very own pakora/samosa  go hand in hand with each other in this alluring weather. <3 <3 Rain,rain come again,  with Garam-Chai & Pakora, Samosa you soothmy ach
