New Beginnings

It's been ages! I was in hibernation for the past month mainly due to Ramadan - the fasting month. I paused certain aspects of my daily routine to focus on my spiritual side. It was such a beautiful and spiritually uplifting period for me. I'm hoping to remain steadfast in my attempts. 

It's been so long I feel like I forgot how to write. I've been so lazy recently. I suppose it happens to everyone during Ramadan, however it is time to get back to my routine and start exercising again! I'm going to be following the fitness e-books by Rushda Moosajee of Glow Women's Physique in Cape Town. I've been following Rushda for some time now, especially on the Snap (I love her snaps), and she is a real inspiration! Her exercise routines are simple but effective - perfect for gym novice's or those who aren't confident to workout alone. I'm starting on Monday so catch me on Snapchat @zaida_omar I'll be documenting my fitness journey on the snap (hopefully this will motivate me to stick to a diet and workout plan). You can find more information on www.rushtush.co.za for online e-books or if you're in Cape Town pop on over to her studio and Get Yo' Life!!!!   

What I'm Wearing: For this look I actually recycled some classics. My boots were a birthday gift to myself about two years ago. These Aldo boots are genuine leather which looks better as it wears in.  The black beaded jersey, from H&M is actually an open-front cardigan which I wore back to front - I like personalise my pieces or wear them in unconventional ways. This faux fur gilet, from Legit was purchased for a styling job but I ended up keeping it for myself.
