LET'S KISS AND SAY GOODBYE :)!

A STRONG HUG AND A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY BLOGGING GIRLS FOR ANOTHER YEAR TOGETHER HERE ON BLOGGER.LOVE TO ALL OF YOU :)!

I've got to go and prepare for the last night ;)!I hope everyone is having a good time today,doing what you like the most.

I'd be thinking of you at midnight,and if you'll think about me,too,than it'll be like we're a little bit together :)!

God bless us all!

JUST A BIT OF JESSICA

I hope your last day of this year is just fine :)!My last week was very hectic,so when going to work and while running errands I needed a comfortable style.What a better excuse than this to copy a little bit of Jessica Alba's style and make it your own.Such things make me happy :)!

Alhamdulillah!

P.S.:May the 2010 be THE YEAR for all of you ;)!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I would like to wish a MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of my Christian friends.May this day be full of joy for all of you,your families and friends.God bless you!

* ________________________ *

I am now with my parents and we have just opend our presents.That is always such fun :)!In my family,it is very important for my mother that we are together for Christmas and that we exchange presents.It is a tradition we have always had and it is a good occasion to be with your family and friends.With this day also starts the last week of the year and during it I like to take some time for myself,and think about all that happened in the previous months.These are days of introspection and great hopes for the future ;)!

Usually I am the one to go shopping for our loved ones,as my parents do not have patience for it :).This year I had to do it at a very last minute,because before that I was sick with a terrible cold.However,since I am following some very good blogs and YouTube channels about beauty and shopping advices it was very easy to choose nice and affordable presents.I enjoy walking through the shops and think about all the people I love and I always hope that they will like what I will get them.But,most of all I want to be positive and forget arguments and bad moments.All I want to remember are those warm smiles on a random day when you look in the other person's eyes and you think:"Yes,they know me and with them I am at home!"

This is the present I received from my parents.Every year they give me money,but this time I said:"Ohlala...please no money this year eh... :) ...go out and find a present for you daughter ;)!"

But...my mother is great with wrapping up and decorating =) !

So...they got me a pair of slippers...he,he,he...but only because I told them I would need it :D!Oh...they are terrible with these things :D!
However,I like them and they are in pink,my favorite color.


Warm greetings also to my Muslim friends and I hope everyone takes from this day what they most like.


God bless you all!

QUESTION

Assalamu alaikum to every muslim woman or man!Today I come to you with a question and I hope you can help me find the answer.Your help would be very much appreciated :)!

Obviously I tried to find the answer myself,but with no result.Thus I thought you might know more about it.

There are actually two questions I have:

1.) Is it allowed in Islam to drink an alcohol based drink or medicne for an exclusively curative purpose?

(Let me explain to you... In a book of natural remedies for different diseases written by a Slovene Reverend Father Simon Ašič I found a remedy against the pain in the throat which consists of drinking about 2-3 spoons of honey brandy.The Reverend Father suggests to give it to a patient with severe throat pains,but to be extremly careful not to exaggerate with it,so that the patient does not start craving alcohol.I myself did not want to try it,because there are many other non-alcoholic :) remedies that he suggests against the pain in the throat,but I was somehow intrigued by it and it made me wonder if that would be allowed in Islam.)

2.) Is it allowed to use alcohol on your skin for curative purposes?

(I think that should not be a problem,but maybe I am wrong.Let me explain this one,too... On a Slovene internet forum I found a recipe for a hair mask against shedding which includes a spoon of rum.The reviews about the mask were extremly good and so I wanted to try it,and then write about it in one of my "My hair journey" posts.At first I did not think there would be any problem with it,but one girl said that she put a little too much rum in the mask and that afterwards she felt a bit dizzy from the smell.Thus,boh...I don't know : o !)

I hope somebody can help me on this one :).Thank you!

(Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell forever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)

(Muhammad,15)

I FEEL THIS SONG

(: I was just watching TV and I came across this video and it really got me!So... I thought I'll share it with you my dear blogging girls.Plus I'm so super happy that I finally know how to embed a video into a post :D!I know it's very easy,but I've never taken the time to actually do it.Anyway,I hope you're all doing fine.I'm having a cold and I don't feel very good,but it'll pass.With some tea and rest!The thing is that you really have to take time and let it pass.This week I felt all the time so sick,but with so many things to do I didn't even consider taking some time off.

It'd be nice to know what you think of the song.I hope you're having a nice and relaxing weekend!Kiss,kiss... :)

If Allah helps you none can overcome you: if He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? In Allah, then, let Believers put their trust.

IF MONEY WERE NO OPTION...

...WHAT WOULD YOU GO OUT AND BUY TODAY?

Please tell me,as it would be very interesting to read about your wishes and dreams.

***

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (1996-1999)

A few years ago while skimming through a high fashion magazine an interview with a successful Spanish model and actress Inés Sastre excited my curiosity.I knew of her from the Lancome ads and from the Italian television where she co-hosted the Italian Music "Festival di Sanremo" .She seems very nice and intelligent,so I was quite eager to know what she had to say.The interview turned out to be a very interesting read and since I also enjoyed very much the pictures in it,I ripped that page out of the magazine,folded it up and put it in my diary.Anyhow,I still have it!In the meanwhile I changed several diaries,but I somehow always made sure that this read would find its place among the pages of one of it.Just like that,with no particular reason.

However,whenever I would unfold it and read it again - maybe out of pure boredom on a train - I would with no exception stop thoughtfully at the last question of what would she go out and buy today,if money were no option.She answered: "A drawing by Schiele" . (Just as a reminder: Egon Schiele is an Austrian painter and an early exponent of the Expressionism - a cultural movement at the beginning of the 2oth-century.)

This question has always been very interesting to me,because it implies something that is a pure object of desire.Something that you would go and buy,when you would already have everything you need and more.Like your own house (I guess in this case a very fancy one),your super modern car and a lifetime high economic security for yourself and yor family.

I must admit that up until today I never knew what would be mine so called unique and special object of desire.Yes,I would find myself dreaming of that house and that car and so on and on,but the thing is that with this question is meant a state of pure economic wellbeing,where money is not an issue anymore.That would be a state beyond dreams!Thus the question becomes,what would you dream of,when you would reach a place far beyond your dreams?

As strange as it might seem,today,out of nothing,that special desire came and it instantly catapulted me in that very land far beyond dreams.I would go out to the Slovene architect Boštjan Vuga,show him a picture of an old house that my father inherited from his family and say: "Renovate it per your sole way" .This would be it!

Boštjan Vuga is in my opinion an artist and a great scholar.I first saw him on TV about two years ago and was astonished by his wisdom,humility and elegance.To my great pleasure this year he started to write his own page in a Slovene magazine about high fashion,style and design.This magazine comes monthly as a separate section of a daily newspaper that my parents read and I always make sure that they save it for me.Then I would read his page only in a moment of complete tranquillity.It is such a pleasure to discover the world through his eyes.He travels a lot and always introduces the readers with unexpectedly interesting buildings.Buildings that would be just mere architectural inventions to the everage reader,but that after his explanations become something uniquely beautiful.

The above picture represents The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (1996-1999) in our capital Lubiana.It was made by his and Jurij Sadar's architectural studio "Sadar Vuga Arhitekti".I find it so amazing,as I find amazing all of their creations.

But it is for those who fear their Lord, that lofty mansions, one above another, have been built: beneath them flow rivers (of delight): (such is) the Promise of Allah: never doth Allah fail in (His) promise.
