» TWENTY TWELVE
This year has taught me a lot.. There has been both happy, dull and some extremely sad moments..
Twenty twelve brought me tons of parties (wedding, engagement, birthdays), graduation (aka. studenten, woop woop), Dubai, hijab (head scarf, I shouldn't necissarily call it hijab since hijab is the overall "look" - oh I will write about that in another post), uni, new friends, loss and with that grieve, and just overall difficulties.
I put together some pictures throughout the year.
When I found this recipe (I lost it now, buhu) - I baked these to everyone..
The cooling from the UAE (aka Dubai) - I got him last year, but he still holds a special place in my heart
- oh the drama!
A new obsession to Chai Latte (home made).
I got a proper brush cleaner - that I hardly ever use anymore..
I did a brush cleansing tutorial on le blog
Studying for finals (high school) at the library with the lovliest group of girls
My cousin got engaged - woop woop!
