Blast in a bite @ Venusbuzz.com

I've been feeling lethargic lately, perhaps because it's the end of Ramadhan and there's a lot to get done :P I should really start munching on these foods, cause there's an energy blast in every bite!

What's coursing through your veins at this very moment? Could there be something blocking its way? Let's make sure our veins and arteries are in good condition, because after all - health is wealth! Check out my article In Your Veins on what foods to eat for optimum artery health.

Conquering clutter @ Venusbuzz

I hate clutter, don't you? But like it or not, it's a part of domestic life, and it's something that we have to deal with regularly. To help remind myself (and others) how to keep clutter under control, I've written an article called Conquering clutter for Venusbuzz.com. How do you conquer clutter in your home? 

Emergency Lessons for Little Ones @ Venusbuzz

It's important for parents to teach their children about safety and what to do in emergencies, so I've decided to put together an article about what to teach children during an emergency situation.

Pregnancy precaution @ Venusbuzz

I'm turning 35 this year, so if I have another baby, there are health issues to consider. If you're approaching 35, like me, and are planning to have a baby, do check out the prenatal tests that you should talk to your doctor about in my article Pregnancy precaution at Venusbuzz.com.

Vitamin D @ Venusbuzz

It's the month of Ramadhan, which means Muslims can't eat or drink from dawn till dusk, but you don't need to consume anything to get Vitamin D. Have you gotten your dose today? Find out why you should and how to get it over at Venus.

Be A Green Queen @ Venusbuzz.com

TGIF! To kick start the weekend, here are a few tips on how to become a true blue "green queen!"

Positive Perez @ Venusbuzz.com

Perez Hilton's celeb gossip blog is one of my guilty pleasures, but in the past year, I've noticed a big change in the way he blogs. The mean-spirited cyber bully is now gone, and his shoes have been filled by a "sassy" gossip monger. I, personally, like the change; the positive energy is a definite plus. You can find out more about Perez's personality shift over at Venusbuzz.

Fruity Facts @ Venusbuzz.com

I LOVE fruits! What's not to love? They're delicious, nutritious and.. just so darn good for you! If you're a "fruit lover" like me, be sure to check out these fruity facts!

Toddler training @ Venusbuzz.com

Is it possible to tame a toddler, or train him? Yes it is! Count the ways!

PS: My son was never a terrible two or fearsome four, thank goodness, but I'm really very glad he's no longer a toddler!

Pet perspective @ Venusbuzz.com

Guess what? Venusbuzz.com is back! They have a new editor and as always, I'm happy to be part of the team :) Check out my post called Pet Perspective!

Style sister @ Venusbuzz.com

I'm loving the "hijabista" movement that's happening online, and I'm celebrating it through this article I wrote  for Venusbuzz.com. As a Muslim woman who has just started to embrace the hijab, I have come across all manners of opinions on the hijab from Muslim and non-Muslim acquaintances. Negative comments on the hijab and how a woman chooses to wear it can come from both quarters. I wish people with rigid  perceptions, as well as misconceptions on the hijab will just let us be.

People can make such a big fuss over a piece of cloth over a woman's head, but no one seems to be raising alarms over pop stars showing little girls that to get noticed, you need to prance around in your undies and let your boobs hang out. It's clear we have differing ideas on what "liberates" women, so let's just agree to disagree.

If you've ever wondered about Muslim women's fashions of today and the importance of the hijab/tudung to our daily lives, do check out my article and the links within.

Bagging the issue - Pt 1 @ Venusbuzz.com
