1. I am the eldest of four siblings, but I am also the eldest on both my mumβs side and my dadβs side and after me came a lot of cousins! 12 on the mumβs and 14 on my dadβs. Most of dadβs family are in Pakistan, but all my cousins from my mumβs side are here so you can imagine Eid/family get-together are a blast and a half!
2. I am a peopleβs person. I love quietly observing people and thatβs why airports are one of my favourite places! This might sound a little strange, but I love watching people arriving from other countries, cultures mixing, family and friends reuniting, the differences in goodbyes and hello. I think itβs one of those few places where true emotion is expressed, because when saying goodbye to someone, you donβt ever know when youβre next going to see them and I think that realisation hits even the coldest of people. Emotions are pretty overwhelming, and always heart melting to watch.
3. Talking about emotions I am what would be described as β an emotional girl. Not just movies though, lets not stop there, I positively sobbed when Dumbledore was killed and fell from the tower in the sixth book. I guess I get attached to characters, and really feel what they feel and can relate (or try to). Hmm Iβm painting quite a dull picture of myself here arenβt I, there are many things that make me happy too! Like skittles, working with children, seeing my grandparents, window-shopping, online shopping, baking, giraffes, iced coffees, highly pigmented makeup, finding bargains and the list goes on!
4. I recently went to Turkey with my mum, auntie, uncle and cousin and absolutely fell in love with Istanbul. I couldnβt recommend going there enough, the mix between east and west is perfect with friendly locals and delicious βkebapsβ. Also as a Muslim I loved the sense of spirituality and brotherness you felt as you walked the streets on the city, something that isnβt that apparent where I live anywhere. Muslim or not you cannot NOT be awed by the phenomenal architecture made years and years ago (how did they made that without cranes diggers and scaffolding?!?!) I guess this whole point although it turned into a Istanbul appreciation one is I LOVE TURKEY AND WANT TO GO BACK ASAP PLEASE <3 here’s some photos
*sighs* Just beautiful..
5. I need to use bright colours when Iβm revising or the chances are I wonβt remember it, who doesnβt like rainbow coloured notes?!
6. I used to be obsessed with Milsberry when I was 10 and I had a notebook with several pages filled up with what I needed and wanted to get for my house, the prices of those things, daily targets etc. etc. IF ONLY I WAS THAT ORGANISED WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE D: needless to say I was slightly devastated when they shut the site down.
7. My nose sometimes works and sometimes it doesnβt π sounds hilarious when read yes but itβs pretty upsetting (frustrating?!) to be shopping for a new perfume, or to try and smell ANYTHING flowers, cooking, body lotion and randomly no scent will come..I probably should get this checked out properly but in all honestly itβs probably a genetic thing as my mum, auntie and uncle have the same sort of problem >.<
I never quite know what to write when asked to name seven facts so I hope those werenβt too random and infact, congratulations if you made it this far! haha

Omfg, my mom has the same nose problem and it's so frustrating because I JUST WANT HER TO SMELL MY PERFUME but yeah I can imagine NOT BEING ABLE TO SMELL ANYTHING THE WORST (except at least you'll be oblivious to stinky scents when you are in that period of being unable to smell things! Haha)
Turkey is gorgeous! Incredibly rich culture + fantastic heritage sites!(although I do suppose each country has it's own ~incredibly rich culture~) I hope you get to go back soon! C:
I love observing people too, which is why it's always fun to visit the airport. Other places I like observing people is in subway/train stations l o l ._.''
Thanks for doing this post! I do love reading about other peoples lives tbh C:

Those pictures of Turkey are beautiful! The sea is so blue and that gorgeous glass light thingy is AMAZING. I'd love to visit Turkey one day. Yes! People watching is such an enjoyable way to pass time! I'm so inquisitive that I love watching people communicate and react with one another.
I'm similar with smells when it comes to perfumes, I smell the smell for a few seconds and then it disappears.. maybe I get used to the smell quickly? However I still enjoy spritzing myself with body sprays/perfumes even though I don't really understand the smell? I use to wear this perfume called 'Alien' by Thierry Mugler and I.COULD.NOT.SMELL.IT even after I just sprayed it! I would just wear it because I would get compliments on it. What the hell, why can't I smell my perfume?! Everyone tells me I smell good, but I can't smell it!! (ok the word 'smell' looks off to me now!)
I really enjoyed this reading this blog post as I do all your posts!
Thank you for nominating me! I'm actually going to do it now, when I should be working! =_=

Oh, I've actually never smelled any of the Soap and Glory items (whoops!)
It's just so expensive in Canada! ($10-$25+…or maybe that's also the UK price range and I'm cheap, oops)
Aaksfkdsgk you are too sweet ΚβΏΚ
