~Staying Cool~

Hey There,

I know I have been gone for awhile and I am sorry for that. Finals are over and summer session will start soon. I really didn’t want to take classes during the summer but I have to if I want to graduate sooner.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter. This is my first summer wearing hijab and I decided to share with you guys some ways you can stay cool in this heat.

1) Wear lighter colored hijabs. Try colors like white, and light pastels. Stay away from black!!! And any other dark colors. If you do wear dark colors the sun will be attracted to your head like a magnet.

2) Use thinner hijabs. You might have to wrap it twice to get good coverage but its way better the wrapping a thick pashmina.

3) Wrap loosely around the neck area. This will allow for cool air to get in.

4) Lose the under cap/bonnet if you can.

5) Wear long sleeved shirts. This is better then layering on top after top to make something hijab friendly. One long sleeved shirt that covers everything is going to keep you cooler compared to wearing a long sleeved shirt under a top or a cardigan over a top. More layers the hotter you’ll be.

6) Wear loose cargo pants, or skirts instead of jeans. Jeans are thicker and darker!

7) Use sunscreen and beware of the hijab tan line. I speak from experience when we went on vacation I got a tan line on my forehead half my face was lighter then the rest!!!!

8) Drink and Carry water. I know this is obvious but people forget water is better then soda, or other sugary drinks!!!

　

Hope these help!!

~I need Another Vacation~

Hey Ya‘ll,

I seriously need another vacation this month May is hectic being Finals month! I decided to take a little break and decided today would be great to talk about my spring break. Someone guessed I went to Florida and they were correct! It was nice we went to both universals parks, the beach and a Disney park.

I really enjoyed Universals mainly Islands of Adventures you might have guessed why by now because they just opened the Wizarding World section. I really loved that section they had the Hogwarts express, Hogsmeade, and Diagon Alley. Hogwarts Castle was really great the pictures actually moved and talked to us!! My favorite ride was the Forbidden Journey which was like you flying around Hogwarts with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Different creatures came also like Dementors and Dragons which was scary. A Dementor tried to kiss me (which is how they suck out your soul) and I’m such a nerd I screamed “Expecto Patronum” but nothing happened because I’m not a wizard. Harry ended up saving me. I really loved it but the line was really long so I couldn’t go again.

It was a big change being in Florida. Someone had told me snakes and gators come up the pipes and out the toilet into the house. So I had been really scared something like that would happen but it didn’t. I saw a gecko (I think that’s what it was looked like the geico gecko but less green) and it was on a tree and then another huge lizard came and ate it. That was so sad.

We drove there so we stopped in Georgia for breakfast and everybody stared at us because we were the only brown people there. It was also probably because of my hijab. Our waitress had such a cute accent she was like “What will ya’ll like?” lol

It was my first time in hijab in a hot place and it wasn’t bad at all. When we were at the beach I felt cool because I was wearing a light colored hijab. My aunt (not really my aunt) ended up wrapping a towel around her head to block the sun.

I really enjoyed the vacation but I can’t imagine living in Florida or Georgia its way to hot, and quiet for me. I should get back to studying.

Thanks for reading!

~Why don’t you take your phone and throw it away~

Hello Ladies,

Nowadays everybody texts I mean everybody. Texting is great really it is I even do it. But I don’t know if you guys have that friend who loves to text. This friend of mine is ALWAYS texting ALWAYS. This is great if you’re bored in class and need to talk to somebody you know for sure this friend will respond or maybe it’s an emergency and you need to ask this friend something well you are guaranteed a response.

But, if you haven’t seen this friend in person in awhile and you guys finally find time to hang out and talk and you guys are catching up but this friend is looking down at her phone and texting the whole time what’s the point of meeting up? You could have just texted this conversation. I mean who is so important that you must reply to them this very minute? Not only is it rude and annoying but it makes you think am I not important enough to get some face time? I especially get annoyed when they ask you a question and you reply and 5 seconds later they ask you the same question or they say sorry I didn’t hear your reply. Like seriously, are you kidding me.  

And then there are the people who are so annoying they must text at the movies. It’s freaking dark in there and if you take out your phone to text everybody is going to see. I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 with some of my friends and cousins and if you guys don’t already know I’m a Harry Potter maniac and I am like so into the books and movies and I really get into the story and one of my cousins is a crazy texter she texts in her sleep no joke. So we are watching HP7 the scene where Harry jumps into the lake to get Gryffindor’s sword and then Ron saves him. And during this scene my cousin takes out her phone and starts texting. She was sitting right next to me and the light is like all up on my face and I kicked her to make her stop and she’s like “sorry but, omg my friend just texted me that Dobby is going to die!” And my friend on my other side who hasn’t read the books heard and got mad because she just ruined the movie for her and the people behind us asked my cousin to please put her phone away because they were annoyed by her phone’s light. All this drama because my cousin felt the need to text during a movie.   

So the purposes of this post is if you are with people hanging out or at the movies please don’t text because it’s rude and annoying.

Guess The Quote:
"Those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well."- Who said it? (Hint: Intials are A.D.)
