#CTCYCLETOUR2018 was extraaaa…. well, HusbanK needed extra time. Did 80kms and had ‘mechanical failure’. More deats than that is not needed as we are grateful he returned to us still smiling😐

LCHF took the back seat the past few days as we #carboloaded Friday eve.

Much gratitude to Razaan who made pasta eve happen #loveyoumorewhenyoucookforus

Collecting his number is a family affair as we always enjoy being at the Cape Town Stadium. The stadium is world class and it’s such a pity that not enough events are held there. Like seriously imagine Hijab Fashion Week SA happening there! #goals #sayIn-Sha-Allah

Race day: #40take2 Compliments to Nedbank for the hospitality at the start and finish.

#NedbankforLife they accommodated a bicycle park for Nedbank riders at the tent. this was extraaa as can you imagine walking another metre after cycling for 109kms or even 80kms for some👌

Hehehe, looks like some came to win and others just for the koeksisters🙄

The event was live streamed on all social media platforms as the worlds most beautiful cycle tour. A G R E E D, and what a privilege it was to be part of it… as a supporter🚲

Ps: take advantage of the FREE Local courier delivery in Cape Town available until 15 March 2018 … thereafter I’ll get HusbanK to deliver on his cycle practice routes!

How was your weekend? Is the #ctcycletour on your bucket list? Let me know, we can pedal together🚲

Chat soon, much love 💕

Aslm beautiful Hijabi’s

Algamdoelilah what a stunning fashion show weekend it was! I hope your time off was spent with the people you love and care for most. The weekend was filled with excitement and lots of running around and would not have been possible without the help of my hubby & kids.

Fabulous in Hijab participated at the Simply Modest Fashion Show held at the protea Hotel Breakwater Lodge V&A Waterfront on Saturday. FIH together with 6 other designers showcased their wears to another sold out event. The 150+ attendees was certainly entertained as designers individual styles were easily recognizable through their designs, some high glamour and a beautiful line up of wedding gowns. Well done to Mujeeba & Tasneem at Little BIG events👏

Fashion show time is a tiny bit nerving for me as I like dramatic looks, more artistic and more intricate designer cuts for the runway… BUT this was a Simply Modest fashion show, and it needed to be just that simply modest..

Here’s some amateur pics from backstage. oh! I must send a special thank you to all the beautiful models, SHUKRAN. It was so easy working with you ladies, your patience with me whilst pinning your scarves, and wardrobe swops and changes went well…
And it was a success…bagged a few dresses as they came off the runway💃

Hijabi feet challenge

Tags

Cape Town, clothing, fashion, feet, hijab, modest, sneakers, South Africa, takkies

I’ve spent several hours reading blogs today…WOW, this is really a challenge for me🙈. I promise you, give me a few Metres of fabric and few hours later I’d produce a garment, not a stress! Sewing comes naturally for me… But blogging, shoo…I’m seriously challenging myself here!

There’s so many topics I’d like to share my views on, but for now let me share what Hijab is for me. I don’t want to over think the rules of hijab and seriously live by just few simple rules for myself

Show Only my hands and face
Don’t wear tight, figure hugging clothes.
There’s no colour restriction as a Hijabi ( I LOVE COLOUR)

Okay, so maybe these rules could be terrifying to some, but with a strong niyyah (intention) it’s who I am everyday when stepping out.

Last summer I challenged myself to only show my hands and face, which meant covering my feet too! What a challenge! no more sandals! You would not believe how obsessed I became with finding shoes that covers my whole foot. Naturally, with my busy life, Takkies are my go to shoes.

These pics were taken earlier this year 2014, let the Hijabi feet challenge begin again this Summer!

Who’s joining me?
