Sweet 16

So yeah, today was(is) my birthday. True to my words I freebied it up as hard as I could. I got a lot of happy birthday wishes and also I got $80 from my grandmother(Oh, Grandma, why do you spoil me so?). I'm happy though because that $80 is just what I've been needing as my sister and I are trying to get Simply Vera Vera Wang sneaker wedges which are pretty expensive at the moment.

Anyway, I turned 16. Speaking of 16, everyone's always like: Sweet 16! But is 16 all that sweet? Lately 16 is associated with craziness, pregnancy, and hormones. I don't want to be part of that! It's okay though, I don't think that I'll be that way InshaAllah(god willing).  

So all the 16-Dom speculating aside, today was actually a good day for me. Yesterday I finished my 20th juz(part) of the Quran. Today I went around getting freebies and just having fun. I'm feeling really good this week. 

I know this seems sorta off topic(if there was even a topic to begin with :P) but I love my family so much, my parents especially. They do so much for me, always there for me. I thank Allah for giving me the best family I could hope for. 

That's it for today so signing off, bye, salaams, ciao, au revoir, annyeong, sayonara, adios!!!

P.S. I've been working on my outfit for the fashion show and it's coming together well so far. Just need to speed up the progress.  

Birthday Freebies!

So my brother's birthday was 2 days ago. You already know that though since I made a blog post dedicated to him. Anyway, we'd signed up for free ice cream for him at both Rita's and Baskin Robin's. He didn't go collect it at either. :( Well, he had good reason: my father had the car all day and when he finally came back, Jawaad had to go to practice so...

Anyway, I decided that on my birthday I would fully take advantage of such offers. So I thought, why not see what other birthday freebie offers there are? I could get a boatload of stuff, for free! Yes, I am so cheap and shallow. :P

So I'm going to go on the quest and post here what freebies I've found and signed up for.

1. Ben and Jerry's Free Ice Cream:

Oh, yeah! I had free ice cream at Ben and Jerry's for Free Ice Cream Day and I loved it! I do kinda feel bad though because if I go here, it'd be the second time I came only to get free ice cream.

2. Sephora Free Fresh Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Duo:

So I was hoping there'd be free stuff besides food. And there is! I'm so happy that this is free because all the other birthday deals were like: 20% off, 10 % off, etc.. and I'm like: "No, gimme the free!"

3. Krispy Creme Free Doughnut and Small Coffee or Fountain Drink

5. Planet Smoothie

Ok, so the hunt will go on tomorrow because I have to catch the train called beauty sleep. So, signing off for now, bye, salaam, annyeong, au revoir, sayonara, adios!!
