I've got to say I absolutely loved this hair mask because it nourished my hair and gave it a beautiful shine .I really recommend it because my hair is very dry and this mask has helped it a lot. Your hair will feel so smooth and look so much healthier .
Method:
Mash the banana really well and add in the rest of the ingredients. combine well and apply onto your hair. make sure you get messy and cot your hair with this hair mask. Tie your hair up in a bun and put on a shower cap and leave it as it is for about an hour. wash it off normally with your regular shampoo and conditioner.
The benefits of the ingredients are below:
Banana is rich in potassium, natural oils, carbohydrates and vitamins which help in softening and smoothing the hair and protects the hair's natural elasticity preventing split ends and hair breakage.
Egg
Egg yolk has sulphur in it . This stimulates our scalp and increases hair growth. Egg whites on the other hand is one of the best protein we can have . It makes our hair follicles really strong . Also eggs contain folate and other minerals which are really good for our hair and it prevents hair loss.
Coconut oil
I really don't need to say much about this because many of us already know the amazing benefits coconut oil has. It promotes hair growth and its antibacterial so it fights against dandruff dry scalp etc. It adds a shine and protects the hair from heat damage . This contributes a lot in making our hair long and thick .
Honey
It helps retain moisture and prevents the scalp from drying out your hair . Honey also strengthens the hair follicles and promotes hair growth .
Castor oil
It helps thicken hair strands. It has ricinoleic acid and omega 6 essential fatty acids which helps increases hair growth. Also it helps the blood circulation to the scalp . It nourishes our scalp and strengthen the roots of the hair.

We live in a world where there is so much attention in how we look from the outside. How we portray ourselves is very important to us and most of us spend so much money into make up or clothing. The questions we get asked :
How tall or short are you ?
How do you get your teeth white?
Do you contour your face ?
How big are your heels ?
Is your hair long ?
Are you wearing a corset?
Come on guys it's the 21st century how we look from the outside is very much of a concern to the society out there. They are so obsessed in what they can see with there eyes . We often do things to please others and most of the time we are unhappy with ourselves .
Media can lower someone's self esteem and self image . We try to create an image we are not happy about . We force ourselves to do such things . These however are normal , being a women is all it is . All women want to feel amazing and look good . They want their skin to look flawless. You get a spot on your forehead and stare at it for days torturing it until it disappears . Sleepless nights scrolling up and down on your phone screen trying to figure out ways to get rid of them. We look at all these celebrities and people in the media and try and copy what they do in order to fit in and be on trend . Having a small waist and being big on certain areas is what they care about . Being a size zero is what everyone after. I mean plastic surgeries are very popular nowadays .
Media has a huge impact on that. I believe external beauty fades overtime , it's how we take care of our body internally is what really counts . Our lifestyle plays a huge role on our body , what we eat, drink and do makes a difference . If the internal part of our body is treated with a bit of TLC then you will automatically get a beautiful appearance from the outside . And yes the eye bags , thinning hair , blurred eyesight and haha the common one everybody faces, tummy like an inflated balloon because we have been overeating or just being lazy . The lifestyle choices we make when we are young is very important because when we get older they do affect us . Gucci or Chanel ain't gonna do you good. Buying the most expensive makeup or clothing ain't gonna last you very long unless you treat your body right .
Yes I know it's a pain to get rid of the bad habits snacking on McDonalds yes it's rewarding but not healthy at all , not exercising at all , 24/7 scrolling up and down on Facebook in the middle of the night where your eyes are screaming for sleep, glaring into the bright screen when you should be relaxing . We forget the importance of fitness and health. We have so many imperfection we want to cover up so here are a list of things you can do to lead an active lifestyle :
• You want to have amazing skin but you do not hydrate yourself enough. Plenty of water is all you need for amazing skin . I cannot express how important water is for your body . Keep a water bottle with you everywhere and trust me you will have more water than you usually do.
• RUN RUN RUN
Those flabs ain't gonna go unless you do some sort of exercise . It is really important to get your blood circulation going for a healthier lifestyle . You know research actually shows running reduces the risk of cancer . It prevents obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc. Scientists have said that running vastly improves the quality of your emotional and mental life . It also helps you live longer.
• Walk
Okay this is the most easiest form of exercise anyone can ever do . Just take a few minutes out of your day and go on a walk . It can be either to a local park or anywhere you fancy . It's going to be hard if you have a car because you will take the lazy route so I suggest park your car further away from your destination so you can walk more . Avoid going on lifts and take the stairs. Apparently taking around 30minutes brisk walking everyday can actually help you sleep better and also helps tighten your stomach muscles . There are a number of benefits of walking but hey I can't go on forever ... So the next one is ..
• Do your house chores
This is once again an easy way to be active .
How many times have you watched your favourite program on the couch waiting eagerly until the super long advert finishes. Instead of just sitting there get up and start doing some squats or even slow jogging. Often you rely on your mum or your siblings to take care of the mess . Why don't you start hoovering and set ur self a goal and finish it off . Get the reward of appreciation from others . Let me tell you this is 2 in 1 workout both arms and legs hehe.
• Get some fresh air
The world is so big out there . Why don't you take your kids out for a walk or the park . Spend some quality time with your family. It could either be a theme park , restaurant , beach , shopping etc. Stop being boring and have days where you get to go out and have fun . This will take your mind of things and help you from stress.
• Last but not least COMMITMENT
Without commitment you cannot achieve anything in life !! Set your self goals and reach it .

What I think about these products
 |
| I have always been a fan of body shop. Love their range of products One of the main thing I love body shop is because their products are cruelty free and against animal testing and 100% vegetarian. |
Just sitting here thinking about what I could blog about and wanted to post something which would make an impact on someone and I came up with this. I hope after reading this you have a positive thought....
I was inspired to write about this after reading this :
Imagine the feeling of looking at the man who murdered your uncle, who cut out his organs and gave it to someone to eat- and forgiving him. Imagine being abused and taunted, and when given the chance to retaliate, instead you forgive. This was the Messenger of Allah Ta’ala (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam), a man described as “an excellent exemplar for those who hope in Allah and the Last Day” [Quran, Chapter 33, Surat al-Ahzab, 33:21].
Many of us cannot forgive our parents or friends or spouses when they say hurtful things when they are angry. We tend to hold grudges for years, unable to forget the things people have done to us. On the one hand, we feel justified in feeling this way. After all, we are the ones wronged. On the other, bottling things up inside is unhealthy at the very least, on both a spiritual and psychological level.
The reason why Iam writing this post is because everyone goes through a time where they fall out or get hurt by someone . Forgiving someone can be very difficult however if you do not forgive ,you are wasting your life because If God can forgive someone then why can't you . Yes it's not that easy depending on the situation however instead of spending your time talking about the negativity and replaying the situation it's best to move on from it . It's about moving on from the situation and healing it.
This is good for both because you do not deserve to hold onto any grudges . You are a better person when you spread your arms and forgive . It also helps us to develop inner peace and happiness in our lives . Also there is a famous quote by Nelson Mandela "when a deep injury is done to us , we never heal until we forgive ". I seriously mark those words. Ones heart should forgive the worst and forget the bad .

What is a hijab?
Definition: A hijab is a veil traditionally worn by Muslim women in the presence of adult males outside of their immediate family, which usually covers the head and chest.
So what does a hijab mean to me ?
Hijab to me is EVERYTHING! I cannot imagine going out without one. It is part of my identity and modesty. I feel like a queen when I wear one. It is my pride and joy. I feel confident and protected with my hijab. It is almost like a shield. It is in fact part of my dignity and I feel as though Iam exposed without it.
Finally hijab to me is simply representing Gods commandment, It liberates me...

On Friday 27 January, President Trump signed an executive order temporarily blocking travel for immigrants from seven “terror prone” Muslim-majority countries.
The order imposes a 90-day ban on travellers from
- Syria
- Iran
- Sudan
- Libya
- Somalia
- Yemen
- Iraq
What did people say about this topic:
- " You do not build a strong nation by saying hey the person next door Iam not going to trust you or Iam going to be suspicious of you because that only creates hatred and fear"
- "This is just dictatorship, does not feel democracy at all"
- 2I am heart broken because they had to be sent back to the war zone " states a Pennsylvania family.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKm04RWS_5I
Thank God, Alhamdulillah (All praises be to god) Trump was stopped by the constitution. The system had made the right decision. Luckily the judges refused to reinstate Trump's order. I give all my respect to the judge. I feel it was so unfair to even make a decision like this. It as just chaos and full on racism. It feels like this was mainly focused on the Muslim minorities because the countries listed above are people from the Arabic countries. This just affects everyone around the world because we are all united in some way or the other. There are friends and family longing to see their relatives having waited for a long time and expect a disappointment . It is just insane. He was just inviting trouble. Muslims are just targeted and judged sadly.
Seriously there is a current obsession in mainstream media and academic discourse pertaining to Islam and the West. This current obsession is tinged with negative signifiers with the global media’s predominantly negative portrayal of Islam and Muslims, depicting Muslims generally as violent, fanatical, bigoted, or as extremists and terrorists.

Aloe Vera Plant

So why is it good for us?
Bill C. Coats writes, "Since the skin needs nutrition of its own, Aloe Vera, when formulated into a properly designed personal care regimen, can treat, exfoliate, restore, reveal and provide constant, impressive nutrition to the human skin."
