My Dusty Old Shelf

Hope and faith in Allah. That's the only thing I have right now...

So, IB results were released yesterday. Alhamdulillah. It was much much better than I thought I would ever get. But I'm a little disappointed.   The only thing I'm disappointed about is my Biology...  There goes my university offer.  Belfast wanted a 6 but I only got a five. And when I found out about this, my heart just dropped...   ONE MORE MARK. So yeah, I don't know what to do. Just wait until Belfast gives me my final verdict, I guess. Then maybe I'll try remarking it. And if all else fails, I'll just wait for whatever MARA can come up with. Whatever it is, alhamdulillah. I can't say alhamdulillah enough. Thank you to everyone that has helped me throughout my journey in IB. All your well-wishes and prayers. I appreciate them all. I don't know how to repay you. May Allah bless all of you wonderful people. 

So, coffee and cocoa. What do they have in common?  They both have antioxidant properties. Or so I've heard. Right, rather than boring you with the technicalities behind it all, let me just tell you that it can reduce the dark circles under your eyes and brighten your skin.  Disclaimer: I got this off a website btw. And the pictures are from Google. What you need: 1tsp coffee (you can use those coffee that comes in little packets from hotels. but NOT the 3 in 1 ones) 1tsp cocoa powder 1tsp milk  OPTIONAL: a few drops of honey (dry skin) or lemon juice (oily skin)  Just add them all together, stir and apply to face. Wait for it to dry. Do some relaxing activities like reading and such. Oh, it's Ramadan. Read the Quran! :)  Wash it off with warm water. Voila!  Waking up early for sahur and lack of water may cause our eyes to get puffy and our skin to be dry. Maybe this can help. Personally, I'd put it on after maghrib prayers, and while waiting
