Hello hellllllllo.. Just dropping by to leave something you guys can think of. So, I was in the bus today, like any other day and two women had an altercation with the driver as he said he didn't have 20c change for them. Now I know what you may be thinking, the same thing that I thought, it's just a 20c ladies. I then thought more about this as the same driver then went on and told myself and someone else that I don't have change for you, this time being a 40c and some other amount less than R1. Now you know where this is going? Yeah. Well, to be honest, I'm not here to rant about whatever amount he ended up with due to no change (I believe him) but, rather to speak about when it's okay to let it go. It's okay to let it go and say keep the change when you are buying from or paying for a service from a small company, a person or a very kind and giving entity who you trust and know NEEDS the money in order to make a living. So pick'n'pay teller?...

Just a normal Saturday, waking up around 3/4 a.m because apparently my body has gotten used to being awake at shitty hours because of my shitty shift. Decided to download a few old comedies and take advantage of my off-peak wifi cos how else am I ganna use it??? Went to the doctor to get my health sorted and even shaved my legs this morning which is a fucking miracle. On our car journey home, I just randomly thought of how I didn't blog in a while then thought of why it was. I then started to ponder and ponder and ponder. I felt like I just wanted to take a break from all social media (besides Whatsapp) to re-evaluate my life choices and what I put out there. I thought to myself, "you know what? You don't have to do this. You can live a minimalistic social life and be free of social media's noose around your neck and just live. Live freely. That's it." You know, we often think that only the physical things in life creates barriers and obstacles for us bec...

So as most of you may know, I have been on a no make-up rave and have been loving it. This makes me turn to dealing with the root of the skincare problem instead of concealing it. Pun intended. I have been turning to my oh-so lovely diy face mask (click here for more on that) now more than ever. I'll pop a few pictures below so that you can see how nice it makes your skin and that you don't have to look dull when you're bare faced.  Don't mind the foil on my head. That was just an olive, mayo and egg hair mask.  Some mascara and eyebrow gel. I now personally have this tiff with makeup where I think it's just a whooooole lot of bs. No offence to the make-up artists and the ones who wears it because we're all just victims. I feel like when I used to wear it (full face), I got so used to seeing myself that way that when I actually take it off I don't see myself as attractive at all. There was no self love when there was make-up...

Hi ladies! Today is just a very quick post to show you my most important item of layering for clothing. I do treat it as my underwear when wearing especially if it's sheer, meaning you can see through it hence the title of this post. It's not like those old-school woollen polo/turtleneck but it has been in fashion for quite some time now. Tbh, I don't even know what they are called lol but whatevs. I do have a few of them but the other 3 are still in the wash and they are gems! I cannot go low neckline at all but now I couldn't care less thanks to these babies.  I picked them up from Mr Price, Ackermans, JET stores and Donnaclaire and you can see tags on some as they are quite new as well. If you don't have any, try a basic black one! You can use it for modest/Winter wear and throw something over it like this ⤵ Shukran/Thank you for the quick read 💞👣 IG: @nishthemodestblogger

Holaaa. Today I'm actually posting a video on how I do my turmeric mask along with a before and after. The before and after will also be posted in a picture below so that you can see. For those of you who will not be able to watch the video, just keep reading.  So what I've got in here is some turmeric, kalonji oil and raw honey. All this can fit in one tablespoon and I still had leftovers so you really don't need much. This is my before and you can see here that I have a warm undertone with pinkish hues. I used my bowen paintbrush lol. I always use them for my facials.  I let it dry for 40 mins or more because I was watching an episode of Chicago Med.  Here you can see my undertone is more yellowish and brighter now which I like more as the rest of my body looks like that 😊 If you'd rather watch the video then go ahead 😌 Thank you so much for your time and don't forget to share, comment and follow me he...

Assalaam everyone! Today I finally sat down and made some hijab pins and listened to some Vidya Vox music.  Btw, I think my friend Tashreekah is the milky version of Vidya. Idk. I went and got some beads from the Bead Shop in Warwick Street, Claremont and some long Pear Pearl Pins from the Haberdashery in Warwick Street too. I used the nail glue that I already had which I use for all but gluing falsies onto my nails because no. Anyway, let's get started. Now that we've got what we need, we'll start by removing some of the heads of the pins. To be very honest, that tool didn't help me in removing them and I couldn't find a cutter at home so I used a brick and knocked them off so very easily. I'm not sure why I didn't think to look for a hammer. Inner cave woman behaviour perhaps? See? Now we'll get creative and mix and match your jewels and glue them on. You need a really strong hold glue btw. I've stuck them all toge...

Welcome back to another blogpost with the infamous Nishy. So today we are going to speak about which essential oils I use and why I use them. HUGE DISCLAIMER: I am not a profesh beauty something and I do what works for me. If you are suffering from any allergies, illnesses or may be pregnant then please consult your healthcare practitioner before using essential oils. Now that we've got that off my chest, we can get started. I use oils from different brands and I purchase them from Dischem Pharmacy .  - So we first going to speak about the Sweet Orange essential oil which is my fav all because of the scent. What I do is I use 1-3 drops of this oil and mix it with a bit of coconut oil and I apply this to my face and neck as it is very refreshing and smells like wonderlust if you love sweet oranges y'all. I also throw this into my bath when I feel like it. According to research, some of the amazing benefits includes, but is not limited to: Fighting cancerous t...
