Hello my beauties! Welcome to my first outfit of the day (OOTD) where I show you what I... wear for the day. You get the drift right?
So today was my friends sweet sixteenth and obviously, we ladies gots' to be looking cute. With me obviously covering, looking modest was no problem. For all my Hijabi ladies, this is how I rocked harem print trousers with a pop of colour.
Scarf: H&M
Cardigan: Croydon Market (Outside Sam's 99p Store)
Top: Basics from Primark
Leopard Harem Trousers: Boohoo.com
Wedge Heels: H&M
Watch: Debenhams
Ring: Primark
I really loved the red against the leopard print because it just makes it look really pretty. If you want to either dress up or dress down and outfit for any occasion, then a pop of colour will do. To simplify this look for a day out, I would've worn some cute gladiator sandals with a denim jacket instead of the cardigan. However, because it was more of an evening look, I wore wedge heels and a bright cardi.
Hope you liked the outfit ladies, there are many more outfit posts to come!
For now...

Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good Evening. I don't know where you are in this beautiful world but hello!
How are you? You good? How's life? Was your day good too? Family okay? Friends nice? Make yourself a cuppa (English term for cup of tea) and enjoy this post because today ladies and gents, is story time!
Today for me personally, was a day where I somehow reflected upon various things. Sixth Form (College), friends, family and me. Where the heck was I going in life? I thought about this blog, my grades, school and 100+ more typical things that a teenager over thinks about. Lovely isn't it?
Whilst I was over thinking (as per usual) about all the possible downfalls I could face in life in general, I thought about how badly I was trying to impress everybody. Why do I do that? I'll tell you why, people. People are so mean, especially the ones closest to you... friends.
I mean, we all have that brainiac friend that just intimidates the life out of you when you complain about how badly your maths lesson went or something (hint hint to anyone that goes to my school). I mean, honestly come on! They're standing there all smart and stuff when you complain about how you don't get an equation or something and they ask you the killer question: "do you want help"? DUDE. NO.
Some of you are probably thinking how on earth is that intimidating... well you're probably that 'brainiac' i'm talking about right now! When this certain brainiac asks you if you want their help, you just want to hide. Seriously. I don't know why but for me, I get embarrassed if they ever want me to ask them for help. It's frustrating and inside I feel like they're laughing at me. It's not paranoia, it's just embarrassment. Sometimes you just don't know whether that brainiac genuinely wants to help you or not.
Don't get me started on that certain 'pretty' friend. Oh LORD! We all have that 'pretty' friend who has to take everything you want away from you. EVERYTHING. You find a certain someone attractive, NOPE THEY ADD THEM ON FACEBOOK. You want to enter a school club, NOPE THEY GOTTA COME WITH YOU. You want the last cupcake in the school canteen, NOPE THAT'S THEIRS TOO. I mean seriously? Just stop it. You know who you are ¬_¬
And now we finally arrive to that plain ass 'conceited' friend. This so called companion is as vain as a peacock. They cannot stop talking about themselves. When will they learn to shut their mouth? C'mon, we all know about those annoying stories where "some guy was staring at them for so long they just had to leave the room" or how "some woman kept giving them dirty looks because she was jealous of their appearance". Listen, if you are one of those vain friends, just stop it. You sound ridiculous. If I could tell you the amount of times where I've heard from my 'conceited' friend that a man was staring, proposing, winking or touching them, I would be typing all day to be honest. Once is enough for me thanks. OH MY GOSH, don't even get me started on the amount of times they put someone down for their looks and how that person doesn't 'look right'. That is a pet peeve of mine.
There is a massive difference between confidence and being vain. Remember, you cannot be humble and conceited.
I'm not stereotyping ladies and gents, it's the plain truth. We all have that type of 'friend'. They change, their egos enlarge and us loyal friends have to deal with it. It's okay not to be okay. I have to remind myself of this too.
And that wraps up my second blog post!
WOOOOOO (does 3 star jumps, goes out of breath and takes a seat on a revolving chair)
I hope that you could relate to this in some sort of way.. actually no. I would rather you have a nice life filled with amazing friends :) Smile and be happy. That's a reminder to myself aswell. I promise I'll try if you do ;)
For now...

Oh hello you beauty... yes I am indeed talking to you.
So I always wanted to start a blog because it was like a 'diary', people said. Also because most of my friends said that I should spread my weird persona on the internet.
*spreads*
There... you are now a weirdo like me.
I think I should start off by introducing myself right?
Hello, my name is Tasneem Ahmed. I am currently 15 years old (16 on the 6th July.. I'll be expecting a prezzie in the post, wink wink)
Yes that is me above. Don't mind the faux model pose.
So anyways, you'd probably want to know what the hell my domain name's meaning is ("Finding Neem"). Well basically, I wont lie to you... Everyone knows the film 'Finding Nemo' right? Well you know how I have the word 'neem' in my name Tasneem... yes that's pretty much why. Finding Neem. Catchy. Not copyrighted. Sorted ;)
Actually now that sounds really stupid so I'm just going to go with the fact that I'm still trying to 'find my inner self'. Yeah that sounds better. There you go internet!
I hope you sort of liked this quick little post. It was nothing special I know but don't worry about it. My blog will consist of many things such as my music... WAIT WHAT?!
Hijabi that does music?! Well who would've thought eh?
I kinda forgot to mention that I rap a bit... sing... song write... aha, my bad. Also I will be doing OOTD (outfit of the day) posts if I look half decent.
Expect many things ladies In'Sha'Allah (If Allah wills)
For now...
