Pop Culture Hijabi: It just makes me happy

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

pop culture hijabi

I’m very late to the Glee bandwagon, but I just rented the DVDs for the first half of the first season and devoured them in just a few days.

That was just in time, too, since the season starts up again in April.

My brother and sister kept making fun of me while I was watching because they said the show’s been done already as High School Musical.

Although I’ve never seen the Disney version, Glee seems less sugar-coated and a lot more fun.

Hijabtrendz Review: Keeping your smart phone safe

hijabtrendz review

**read to the end for giveaway details!**

If you’ve jumped on the bandwagon like the rest of the world and have an iPhone, Blackberry or some other phone that pretty much acts like a mini-computer, then you probably feel like it’s a source of stress.

Maybe you worry you might drop it and break something, or maybe the screen could get scratched?

After you spend all that money, instead of enjoying it you just worry worry worry.

Or if you’re like us, you may never have had to worry until the day you dropped your iphone face down on a tile floor.

The screen shattered.  What is a girl to do? We found the perfect solution!

Enter Otterbox.com

This company is pure genius!

We recently received a sample of the iphone defender case and absolutely love it.

What’s great is the dust and debris doesn’t get on the phone but stays outside the case plus the likelihood of it getting cracked is slim to none.

This is by far the best case we’ve seen or tried. Our first iphone was covered in a silicone cover but after experiencing Otterbox, we realize our first case was just for looks and was not functional at all.

We’re happy to report that we are no longer stressed.

Now when we see people with their “naked” iphone’s we feel so stressed out for them.. don’t drop it, be careful!

If you want to join us in our stress-free zone and win a case of your choosing (they make cases for many different phones)  from Otterbox.com then tell us you want to win!

2 lucky comments will be randomly drawn and this contest is open worldwide!

Deadline to enter is Friday February 26th at midnight CST.

Good Luck!

Baraka is holding a fashion event and launching their latest collection on Friday March 5th 2010.

We would love to attend this event, but we don’t live in Australia which is where it’s taking place!

According to our recent email from the company it’s going to be an evening of experts in fashion & style, health, nutrition & well being, fitness massage and motivation. and they are advising attendees to “dress to be your best”.

If you’re lucky enough to be passing through, or happen to be a hijabi living down under, do attend and let us know how it goes.

Pop Culture Hijabi: Olympic fever

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

pop culture hijabi

This week has all been about the Olympics for me.

I know people tend not to like the Winter Olympics as much as the Summer Olympics, but I absolutely love both.

This has been a crazy week for the American competitors, too. (I apologize to international readers; I have to take a moment to brag about our medals.) I don’t even know what my favorite event has been so far. The week started out strong with a win for speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno. If you caught that race, you know it was insane when two Koreans took each other out, putting two Americans in place to win silver and bronze.
