Shopping

I'm looking for something to store my nose studs and ring in
I find the small jewellery boxes a bit too big, I like the glass ones

I wonder if there's anything specifically made for storing studs
I lose so many

There are bobbin storage boxes. Have a look online ebay or amazon etc. They have space for individual bobbins and the space is not as big as the small jewellery boxes. I think just the right size to store nose studs or small earings.

I was just speaking generally. I didn't mean you as in you lol.

Personally a lot of my core interests are not considered girly and honestly I don't enjoy doing a lot of traditionally girly things.

With that being said just because some may not do or enjoy (like in my case) traditionally girly things it doesn't mean that you cant still present yourself in a feminine way.

The way you carry yourself, the way you speak, cleanliness, clothes all come to mind aside from make up.

When I was younger I used to feel very insecure and felt like I would die if I didn't wear eyeliner Its actually very funny to think about it now because never in a million years would I ever put eyeliner on my waterline now but it took years for me to realize that makeup isn't the only thing to do to make you girly or look good, there is so much more too it then that.

prepare yourself because I am going to say something extremely cringy right now. Makeup makes a pretty face but it doesn't make a pretty heart

There I said it! You can ignore me forever if you want to after that. I would! lol

I just think that in order to be girly and feminine you need more than surface level things. Especially as muslim women. Looking presentable is important but being kind and having good character is just as, if not more important.

Oh ok
thats true it’s about how you carry yourself
There is a lot of pressure to wear make up, wherever you go, everyone judges.
as in in family functions.
But you are right, it’s all about mindset.
That’s true that inner beauty counts more, but these days to give up make up it also requires mental strength. And stubbornness.
I know I need to sharpen up my appearance in general.
Trying to be religious doesn’t mean being careless.
jazak Allah khair for sharing your perspective

Don't have anyone that would care. They'd all find it a burden if I bothered them and would be rude and mother didn't care. It's a shopping centre, really busy. Just have to do my duas and carry on

Oh okay do you work? or are you in sch?

[ten_toes]

Do you have sisters? Or your mother to accompany you?

Is Westfield some popular place in UK? If I were you, I would keep a distance and an eye out, there might be some creepos looking at you from afar

I don't have any sisters to chaperone me sometimes when I want to go outside - but if I do go to places like malls or neighbourhoods I don't know, I keep an eye out and make sure I walk to places knowing where to go, who to meet and what to expect.

yeah definitely i agree with all those traits and ayninas too, i'll add em all on my list. Where do these guys exist? Inshaa'Allaah on planet earth somewhere. lool i didnt make the connection between the thread title and list thats funny

Haha. Well it is like shopping for us ladies but it is actually more of a chat on it.

Hmm the thing is men have both good and bad traits and we need to decide whether we can be ok with their "not so great traits" and if you can live with them.

[Creamcake]

Thats a good list.

For me its pretty much the same. Prays, good self conduct, mindful, engaging, intelligent, caring, can take the front seat, attentive, understanding and kind. Also someone who is understand self work and improvement.

Oh is this that type of shopping thread lol??

Protective, provider, supportive, in touch with his emotions, masculine, loving, caring, religious, respects and deserves respect, tries to keep the relationship alive, enjoys spending time together, enjoys treating his wife well...

Lool thats a good one.

Thats a good list as well. Supportive is a good trait in a man to have. Defo will help a bit if the other half is supportive.

Hey sorry my notifcs dissapear cos my account is a bit messed up, but if you are comfortable doing so, you can pm me about what you last quoted me about. Ofcourse no pressure.

For me 4 things matter - Religion first and foremost, this life is temporary. I want a man that will help me to get to paradise Inshaa'Allaah and whose eyes are on the hereafter, InshaAllaah. Someone that loves Allaah before anything in this world

Then good character(if he is religious he should have this anyway but someone kind/caring etc).

Also a personality where we can connect - someone i can trust with everything, talk to about anything, laugh with a lot, be my weird self around lol, someone that can open upto me aswell that is comfortable around me, and is serious when needed and jokey aswell. A good husband, friend and father. Active father, down to earth, romantic etc.

Mutual attraction too.

I have that list lol but I also hope oneday I am able to be a good wife and mother InshaaAllaah. I know marriage and being a parent is not easy. And I hope to be a much better Muslim and person before I marry inshaaAllaah.

What about you sis?

Thats a good list.

For me its pretty much the same. Prays, good self conduct, mindful, engaging, intelligent, caring, can take the front seat, attentive, understanding and kind. Also someone who is understand self work and improvement.
