Stop and Think ...

Good God!  Its been months... and I mean many many MONTHS since I have even posted something really garbage on here or on Youtube.  What is up with that.  Geez!  So unlike me.  

But it has definitely been an eventful disappearance.  Many good things have happened and many many sad ones.  And I have realized both teach us very different things.  Happiness in your life gives you an abundance of people/friends around you to join in the good times which makes you loose track of your own self at times.  But what I have realized is that you need these sad and unfortunate moments to bring you back to self realization.  It gives you a chance to stop and think about who you are and how far or close that person is from what you have always wanted to be or thought you were.  It puts a lot of things into perspective for you about yourself because it gives you a chance to stop for a while and think.  I have realized we don't do that much anymore.  We keep our lives as busy as we possibly can because we at that moment think we are trying to keep up with life.  But life was never meant to be that busy or stressful or hectic and that is what makes us loose focus from what truly is important.  Life is not meant to be about "Me" .... its supposed to be about how "I" live my life and in return ... how that affects the people around me, because believe me ... what you do and how you carry on does affect others who love you and care about you.  This way ... life is still about "Me", but its about a better, happier, stress free and a more positive "Me".  And that cant possibly be bad =)

R.I.P Khala Ami.  You will be missed ... forever, because you were an amazing person who has affected all our lives in a way no one ever could and we love you.

Zooming In: I Ventured Into Lush ...

** Song of the Day:  LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It **

I don't usually post stuff like this but this was just too awesome to pass up. 
I was in serious need of a new facewash and I have been looking around for one for weeks.  So as I was wondering around at the mall I couldnt resit walking into Lush.  I love the stuff in that store... even though I dont buy much from them... I love browsing and smelling all the awesome stuff they have.  Everything smells so good!

While I'm in there, I remembered reading somewhere that they have really good face care products.  So I proceed to ask the girl about it and the excitement on her face was incredible!  She asked me a few .. ok maybe more than a few ... questions about my skin type and all that jazz.  And then picked up this chunk of black coal.  Initially I looked at it and was like ... Um im not putting that black crap on my face u crazy girl.  And then she asked me to humor her and proceeded to do a little demonstration on my hand!  I am not joking!  After she was done ... my skin felt incredible.  Then she showed me a toner and a moisturizer which also blew my mind!  Their products really are amazing.  And ofcourse I bought the whole skin regimen. 

I go home and tell Iqbal (my husband) about it and he had the exact same reaction I did... except he actually said it out loud to me. So I made him suck it up and try it.  And mind you ... hes VERY picky about the products he uses.  It took him a few min but at the end when it was all done and over with... he was very impressed and ofcourse tried to hijack my facewash.  Which is never going to happen lol. 

So conclusion.... Go get it!  Freakin amazing stuff. 
Heres what I bought.  So good guys!  Get them to give you a demo.  Trust me!


Coalface Cleanser
 Tea Tree Water Toner Water
 Enzymion Moisturizer
Oh and I have very strangly normal/oily skin so you may want to make sure they give you what works best for your skin.  Just sayin' =)

Zooming In: Meloncholia

 ** Song of the Day:  Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch **


A movie about two sisters from a disfunctional family living a disfunctional life dealing with depression and death.  Believe it or not... this is a sci-fi movie ...

There are times when I go to a movie and painfully sit through it only to realize it was actually amazing.  Meloncholia was one of those movies.  Sitting through the movie was slightly boring but I never felt like I wanted to be anywhere else. At the end of it all, things didn't make sense but it always kept my attention.  I walked out of this movie not knowing how exactly I felt about it and the more I talked about it the more I realized that it did not make sense to me that night.  However ... I have not yet been able to stop thinking about it.  And the more I think about it the more I realize how amazing that movie really was.  And for that exact reason I think the movie accomplished what it set out to do.  It was amazing... It just takes a little time for you to soak it in a bit before you realize it.  Definietly a must watch =)
