I'm the girly pink feminine type. So I changed things up a bit with Edgy booties, Plaid pants, and Green Coat.<br />

Well I know I'll be adding and switching a lot of things from now until Christmas but for now, I am really done lol.<br />
<br />
<em>Quick update: I just watched <a href="https://www.instagram.com/renaenaa/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Renae's</a> stories and I saw her CEILING GARLAND do you hear me CEILING GARLAND why you do that to us, Renae? I want one now :'(</em><br />
<br />
I like non-traditional Christmas decor and I also wanted it to match my home color scheme. I chose soft pink hues for this year: Rose Gold, Blush Pink and of course Gold.<br />
<br />
I had to DIY some of the rose gold ornaments since I couldn't find what I wanted in stores. I will share the videos soon on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mynameisrasha/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">my Instagram</a> so make sure to follow me.<br />
<br />
This year I bought this Pre-lit flocked tree, I will link it up at the end of the post. I wanted to wait for the sales after Christmas but I wasn't patient. I searched high and low ... well, I searched low and low ;) and found this amazing tree.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1324 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Blush-Christmas-1024x673.jpg" height="673" width="1024" /><br />
<br />

<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1297 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0145-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
I used to be clueless about Christmas tree decor, but after a million questions to<a href="https://www.instagram.com/renaenaa/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> The Queen of Christmas Renae</a>, I became an expert ;) if you don't follow her account you are really missing out a lot.<br />
<br />
To have a very beautiful and interesting tree you must start with the following.<br />
<br />
<strong>First: Lights.</strong><br />
<br />
If your tree is not Pre-lit add lights, a good rule is to add 100 lights for every foot and a half of tree. ( 100 lights for every 45cm of tree)<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1298 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0118-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Second: Ribbons, Ribbons, and more Ribbons.</strong><br />
<br />
Yes, this is very crucial and DO NOT SKIP this step. Ribbons will make the tree look so full, and this step is so easy. Just pick different kinds of ribbons, and they must be wired edge ribbons so you can shape them and twist them the way you want. Attach them to the tree either with flower wires or by twisting the tree branches.<br />
<br />
I chose 3 kinds of ribbons like you can see in the below picture.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1299 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0124-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Third: Big Ornaments.</strong><br />
<br />
I added to my 7.5 ft tree around 5 to 6 big ornaments and I spread them in a balanced way.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1300 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0153-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Fourth: Big Glittery Flowers.</strong><br />
<br />
I got as many flowers as I found. Most of the blush-pink or rose-gold flowers were almost sold out, so I bought different ones from different stores. I spread them here and there to have that full fluffy look.<br />
<br />
<strong>Fifth: Small Ornaments and Picks.</strong><br />
<br />
Use your small ornaments to fill all the gaps that are left. As for picks just put them where you want to add more dimension to your tree.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1301 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0123-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1302 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0125-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Last step: Tree Topper.</strong><br />
<br />
I added more picks to my tree to give it extra height. I chose a non-traditional tree topper " Peace on Earth". I got this last year after Christmas on sale and I couldn't find any better message or wish for this Christmas.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1303 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0121-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
And voila.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1305 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0143-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
Did you notice my tutu tree skirt? Well, this is my own skirt and I love how it matches my decor. I just linked a blush pink fur one check the end of my post.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1312 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0171-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
On top the mantel I added a blush pink table runner ( I linked it at the end of the post), and layered some string lights and different height cone trees. The sequin rose gold trees are from 99cents stores!! What a great deal.=?<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1306 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0152-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />

<br />
If you follow me for a while you know me by now, I like my decor to be always out of the box or at least I try hehhehe. The inspiration for this decor was my Missoni wallpaper. So my colors are mint green, blush pink, Lavender and of course touches of gold.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1237 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0604-1-1024x664.jpg" height="664" width="1024" /><br />

<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1240 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0606-2-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1242 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0609-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
The best way to add some lavender color is to decorate with some lavender flowers to get this gorgeous pop of color.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1243 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0613-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
And that's the wallpaper I was talking about, the pictures don't do it justice. It is very calming beautiful pastel colors with a shimmery texture.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1244 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0665-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
I got these mirrored frames from Homegoods and I removed the glass of the frames ( so I can get the texture and shimmer of the wallpaper) and glued the wallpaper to the back of the cardboard that comes with the frames, and voila. I'm planning to use them later on the other wall with some huge wall art in the middle.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1245 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0668-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
I got all these pumpkins either from Homegoods or from Marshalls except the one that I DIYed and I will link at the end of the post same decor or similar ones.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1246 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0616-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
To get some warm feeling with these pastel colors, I added my favorite blush pink fur runner and folded in two to fit on my mantel.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1247 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0619-1-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1248 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0623-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
As for these gold and silver pumpkins and autumn leaves, I got them from the dollar tree and spray painted them with Rustoleum spray paint from HomeGoods.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1249 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0632-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
And yes this Thankful wreath was another DIY project and it only cost me 5 dollars. I got the wired wreath, pumpkins, and leaves from the Dollar Tree as for the Thankful word from Target.<br />
<br />
The pumpkins in the below two pictures are also made by me.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1250 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0633-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />

<br />
<strong>If I want to say what my style is I think we can say glam with a touch of mix and match (if we can call this a style hahahahha )</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Let me show you the pictures first and I'll talk along each picture :</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1187 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Pantry-Organization-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<strong>So let's talk about this pantry in details, first I wanted a glamourous pantry to match my home decor, so what says glam more than this gold chandelier, and it has the perfect amount of crystals not too much not too little ;)</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1189 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Elegant-Pantry-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Whenever I look at my pantry I feel like I'm in a luxurious French bakery. With the black and white wallpaper and the aqua and pink pop of colors.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I always had doubt that these perfectly organized pantries don't exist in real life, but once I hide all the ugly bags in these deep labeled bins ( Like dried fruit bags) and emptied my dried groceries in these jars, I got a pretty and practical pantry.</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1193 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DIY-Pantry-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<strong>I prefer to get glass containers over plastic ones. And as you can see I spray painted all the lids with my two pop of color: aqua and pink. </strong><strong>And for my sons' safety, I placed all these glass jars on the top shelves so they can't reach any of them. </strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1192 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/luxury-pantry-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<strong>It took me a while to decide on wallpapers, I was torn between a very bright wallpaper and a much subtle gold one. But I'm so happy with my option, especially that black and white Mackenzie Childs polka dot one, it is so unique and pretty.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1194 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DIY-pantry-jars-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Let's talk about this pretty tags. When I organize my stuff I always try to think outside the box, I didn't want those regular labels you see everywhere. I wanted my pantry to look like a fun pretty and happy place ( yes you heard me HAPPY) when I found these tags I felt like I'm decorating for a birthday and then I knew I have to have them. </strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1195 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0067-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1214 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0076-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Finally, I can display my pretty and cute aqua mixer and pink food processor and this way they're really accessible.</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1197 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0093-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Since I have a little one at home, and he is always in the pantry, I wanted some deep basket so he can't reach the oils, syrups and all the other stuff. And the mission was accomplished once I found these plastic bins at Target. </strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1198 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0108-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<strong>I didn't sacrifice practicality over style. Yes, it is a pretty pantry but it is so practical for our family. Remember every family has its different requests and needs. Like these clear bins are perfect for my 5-year-old snacks but again they are on the top shelf so he can't take one unless he asks me for it.</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1199 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Black-and-white-pantry-1-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1200 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0098-1-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Like I said before it is a very practical pantry, those 2 bins are for refills, so whatever is left in the bag that didn't fit in the jar it is tucked away inside these bins.</strong><br />
<br />

<strong>My two sons don't care about hard candy at all so I can display these on mid shelves. And of course, I spray painted the lids here too.</strong><br />

<strong>Okay let me tell you a secret, I got these Oreos only because they look so pretty in these jars, once I eat them I will never ever get more. ( My kids are not allowed to try Oreos and my husband doesn't like them so guess who will be eating those by her self lol)</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Since you all know me by now, I love to change my table set up very often. And since my plates are <a href="https://www.neimanmarcus.com/MacKenzie-Childs/Dining-Entertaining/cat48380768_cat18640732_cat51710756/c.cat?navpath=cat000000_cat000553_cat51710756_cat18640732_cat48380768" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Mackenzie Childs </a> butterfly collection so course I won't be changing those, that's why I said Okay I need to DIY something, and the charger plates will be the best option to do it my self ;)</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Check out the final picture before I start with the details:</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1159 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0550-1-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />

<br />
<strong>Usually, I don't like black color, but if you use it wisely, it can add lots of dramatic feel into the decor.</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1160 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0549-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>I got these charger plates from Hobby Lobby, they were shiny, plain and boring.</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1161" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/20180611_141032-300x225.jpg" height="225" width="300" /><br />
<br />
<strong>They look so cheap, well they are so cheap LOL : $2 each. </strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1162" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/20180511_211627-300x225.jpg" height="225" width="300" /><br />
<br />
<strong>I spray paint them matt black with <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Automotive-12-oz-Black-Matte-Finish-Spray-Paint-6-Pack-263422/203826320" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Rustoleum matt black</a> spray paint, and added a gold trim with the gold leaf pen found at Hobby Lobby too. I told you it's a very easy and simple DIY. But can you imagine the possiblities? Now every occasion I can custom my own charger plates and make my table setting so UNIQUE.</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1163 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0543-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Like I <a href="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/2018/04/how-to-gold-leaf-cups/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">custom made these </a> glass cups. That's why I love DIYing, I always like having unique pieces that nobody has it in their home and it is impossible to get that if you want to buy the things you find in stores. I like to create, never imitate ;)</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1164 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0553-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>I always like to mix and match, like in this table set up, you can find stuff from Neiman Marcus ( Like the plates and the Silverware) and stuff from the Dollar Store ( the candles holders and the clear flower vases). And the end result will look so expensive.</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1165 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0546-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /><br />
<br />
<strong>I know you are all worried about cleaning up these plates, first we don't eat in these plates so they will barely get dirty, and when they do we can clean them with damp washcloth with little bit of soap and then dry them with a dry one.</strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1166 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DSC_0552-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />

It is celebrated by over 1.5 billion people every year all over the world. People that celebrate Ramadan fast for 30 days from sunrise to sunset. No food, no water, nothing. The true idea behind it is to feel with others, be selfless, compassionate, and to slow down our busy life. It has much more meanings that I would like to teach my kids but it is difficult for them to understand it at their young age. The easiest way was to start the Ramadan Tree tradition. I started it last year for the first time and I plan to make it an annual tradition.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Here in the States, we do not have a true Ramadan feel that other Muslim countries share. Ramadan lasts for 30 days and it is followed by 3 days of celebrations and fun known as Eid. To celebrate Eid we will share toys and in our family, these toys will be placed under Ramadan tree. It is to make it feel like Christmas which we also celebrate at my home.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>This year my Ramadan Tree color palette is black, gold and white.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1113 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0721-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Almost everything here is DIY... The Ramadan ornaments are nothing but LED moon and stars string lights. I got them from Amazon last year but they did not work so I spray painted them black and white, and some of them I added some gold sequins to have the glam feel ( If you know me by now I love glamming up everything).</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1115 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0723-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />

<br />
<strong>I got this " Days Until" from hobby lobby and glued a handmade sequin moon on it. So my son will write the countdown for EID.</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Ramadan black and gold sign is nothing but wooden letters from Hobby Lobby. I glued some glitter and velvet craft papers to them. Or for quicker and easier way, you can just spray paint them any color you want.</strong><br />

Today I want to share with you what I wore on my birthday celebration last Friday. My official birthday is on May 21st, but since it was a Monday I decided to celebrate a few days earlier. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>First I wanted a black white or gold outfit, but since I started looking 3 days ahead of the occasion, I couldn't find anything that I like. So I decided to wear this dress instead and I'm so glad that I did.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1093 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0615-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />
<br />
<strong></strong><br />

<br />
<strong>The pictures don't do this dress justice, it is gorgeous in person, with all the lace details and eyelet like fabric. I love the length it is below the knees and it gives a classy look. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1094 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0618-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I paired this pastel blue dress with a light pink Mary Jane pumps. With pastels you can pair almost all the colors, pastel blue with pastel pink, or blue and green, pink and yellow, you name it and it will look pretty as long as both are pastels.</strong><br />
<br />

<strong>Few more pictures and I will link up my look at the end of the post. And for your reference, I'm wearing an XSmall size of the dress.</strong><br />

Woohooo yes yes sometimes I wear other colors than pink LOL.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I chose very pretty off shoulders yellow midi dress and paired it with leopard print sandals and belt.</strong><br />

<strong>Last week if you watched <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mynameisrasha/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">My Instagram Stories</a> you might saw me at Nordstrom's. I'm so glad I picked these block mid heels sandals because they're so comfy, especially when going out with 2 kids. The same brand had 2 styles, and I chose the lower heel because I need a comfy sandal so bad.</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>This leopard belt has a buckle, but since the buttons of the dress are off centered, and I don't want to make the dress busy with side buttons and centered gold buckle, I chose to turn the buckle to the back.</strong><br />

Wow, time really flies. I'm tackling few projects at a time and of course, none of them is completely done, so if you follow me <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mynameisrasha/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">my Instagram</a>, you'll know what I'm talking about. I'm almost done with my closet and pantry and hopefully, the reveal should be soon. So I thought to write about an easy DIY project that I did it 4 years ago: How to apply gold leaf on glass cups.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1043 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/How-to-gold-leaf-glasses-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />

<br />
<strong>I got the idea after I bought these salad plates from Z gallerie. When I checked these plates out I noticed that the gold color is just gold leaves applied to the back of the plate. So I thought okay I'll do the same with my glasses and so I did.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-1044 alignleft" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/20150510_132219-169x300.jpg" height="300" width="169" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1045" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/20150510_141014-169x300.jpg" height="300" width="169" /></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>I applied the gold leaf exactly like I did <a href="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/2012/01/how-to-silver-leaf-furniture/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, the only difference is in the top coat/sealer. I used this time Polycrylic from Minwax click <a href="https://www.lowes.com/pd/Minwax-Satin-Water-Based-8-fl-oz-Polyurethane/999914423?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-Paint-_-InteriorStains-_-999914423:Minwax&CAWELAID=&kpid=999914423&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=1132&k_clickID=1b038539-e4c1-4cc6-86dc-8aa8e81f3638&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6J6b3ZLc2gIVBcNkCh2R3wUkEAQYBCABEgJtgfD_BwE" rel="noopener" target="_blank">here</a>. When I applied the sealer, I made sure to be really careful and just go over the gold leaf, not the clear glass part. And in case of any accident with the polycrylic, I just clean it with water. </strong></div>

<strong>This set up was 4 years ago, and the glasses till date are still like brand new ;) </strong><br />

<br />

<br />
<strong>This is a throwback to my son's first birthday a few months ago. The theme was world little traveler and it was a big hit. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I'm not a big fan of cartoon-themed birthday, and when the boys are young I can be the one who picks the theme ( My son's 5th birthday was Hotwheels cars :( ya ya Hotwheels can you believe it? ) so when they are still young I can choose the theme or at least give them few options between the themes that I LIKE lol.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-624 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-Dessert-table-boys-birthday-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /></strong><br />
<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<a name='more'></a><strong>The desserts were semi-homemade/ handmade. I didn't want to repeat the same mistake that I made with my older son's first birthday. I did EVERYTHING from scratch even the lollipops. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-625 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-world-little-Traveler-birthday-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>This handmade banner was so easy, I got the alphabet letters from $ store and I spray painted them gold. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I hand drew the vintage style airplane and the hot air balloon again so easy, got this map from Joan's fabric store. My favorite are those handmade fluffy clouds.</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Again like I said I wanted to have semi-ready desserts to save time, so I got these giant marshmallows from Lucky's and dipped them in Wilton red chocolate melts and glued ( with melted chocolate) the gold number 1 fondant. Simple and so easy dessert and the kids will love them.</strong><br />
<br />

I remember the last winter when we went to Lake Tahoe, I told my husband: "This is the last time we will go to Lake Tahoe when it's snowing." It was freezing and I got so sick.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>But my son's sad voice stayed in my head and I said okay Rasha, let's go show this little guy some snow lol. And I'm so glad we did because the kids had so much fun.</strong><br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>I was so surprised how my little one was so excited, the first few seconds when his feet touched the snow he was surprised ( watch the video <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf7ZuvggIbU/?taken-by=mynameisrasha" rel="noopener" target="_blank">here</a> ) then he started running and ouwing and wowing :D.</strong><br />

<strong>Now, back to reality, my little one is sick, he is having pink eye and fever :( the doctor prescribed an eye drops for 7 days. I think he got it because it was really cold in Lake Tahoe, but the doctor said pink eye doesn't have anything with the cold weather!!! Let's hope he wakes up tomorrow feeling better. </strong><br />

<strong>We all woke up on a beautiful Sunday morning in the Bay Area. Got dressed up, got the kids ready and off we went. The plan was to spend a day at Santana Row in San Jose but the kids fell asleep in the car. So we decided to take the food to go and ended up eating it in the car. What can I say? Life with children :). </strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-590 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC_0081-1024x683.jpg" height="683" width="1024" /><br />
<br />
<strong>So the lunch plan in beautiful Santana Row was ruined. Instead, we ended up going to the Children's Musem of Discovery where we spent over two hours looking at Mamouths and Fossils and all the other things that you can see at a Musem. So why do I bring up the Musem? Well, the answer is in the outfit. It was definitely not a Musem kind of outfit. Again, life with children. And everyone was staring at my non so Museum(y) outfit but of course I didn't care, the smiles on my kids' faces make me do crazy stuff.</strong><br />

Last year, while surfing Guilt.com, I found an awesome coat. Without any guilt, I bought it. However, with a new baby and not so cold winter, I did not get to wear it last year. It was stuck in my closet until last Saturday when the temps dropped to 42 F and I was invited over to some friends' home. It was the perfect occasion.</strong><br />

For the past years, we saw few shy attempts of pink and red here and there, but this year we will see these two colors A LOT.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Either pastel or neon hues I adore these two colors together and I wore them many times in the past couple of years.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Last week I decorated with pink and red for Valentine's and wore this gorgeous perfect matching dress for the occasion:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-557 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0955-1-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />

<strong>I paired with gold sequin pumps and a gold clutch.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-555 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0922-979x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="979" /></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I love the feminine ruffle details and the elegant slit. And of course I can not say how much I love midi length dresses, they remind me of the old elegant vintage times.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-556 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0934-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>This dress will look better with opened toe sandals but since I was the hostess I wore my most comfy pumps. You know comfort before looks ;)</strong><br />

After we celebrated last week Valentine's day with our amazing husband now it is time to celebrate with my amazing friends.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I didn't have time to take blog style pictures, you know the hostess is always busy, but I took these few pictures that I would like to share with you.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-531 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0874-1024x786.jpg" height="786" width="1024" /></strong><br />

<br />
<strong>I always try to use what I already have in my house as centerpieces. These gold vase and branches are usually on my living room mantel. So I added some cotton candy bags as small favors for my guests, some heart ornaments, crystal necklaces and LED lights ....and Voila. These pictures don't do justice how gorgeous this centerpiece was. </strong><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-544 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IMG-20180219-WA0022-768x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="768" /><br />
<br />
Can you imagine the possibilities? Like if it is a boy celebration, you can use blue cotton candy, or if it is an Easter celebration you can add eggs ornaments instead of these hearts if it is baby shower you can make a toy pacifier garland instead of these crystals... etc etc etc. I always get<strong><em> inspired</em> </strong>by the pictures posted by others online but I <strong><em>never copy paste</em></strong> what I see.<br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-532 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0876-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I got these LOVE signs and heart-shaped sign from the dollar store. The table runner again is a wrapping paper since my table runner still didn't arrive from Amazon!!!</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-534 size-large" src="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0887-1-683x1024.jpg" height="1024" width="683" /></strong><br />

<br />
<strong>I used these dollar store glass vases for cucumbers and tomatoes and some fresh mint herbs.</strong><br />
<br />

I loved my idea of using wrapping paper instead of fabric table runner and I'm sure I'll be doing this a lot in the future.<br />

<br />
<strong>But even though I'm late for blogland, I'm right on time for real life because I'm hosting a "POST" Valentine's brunch for my close friends. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I couldn't decide between red and pink so I decided to decorate with both. Couple years back mixing these colors was forbidden. Today they are all over the place. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Let me stop talking and show you the pictures</strong><br />
<br />

<strong>You can make them in any size and any color too.</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Let me tell you a secret, I ordered a striped black and white table runner but I still didn't receive it. So this gorgeous black white and gold hearts table runner is nothing but a wrapping paper :) I like the idea so much, and I'm sure you'll see me using wrapping paper as table runner a lot in the future LOL</strong><br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>I got this flower garland from Michael's and they have lots of other options too. If you saw my Instagram stories few days you know what I'm talking about. To have a pop of red in these garlands I just added heart ornaments. </strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Back in 2012, this silver leaf dresser had so many features and pins from the number one bloggers. With over 130.000 post views I was called Rasha the silver leaf queen LOL.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>So why am I rewriting this post today? I'm writing this post after 6 years because I always get questions like: Does the silver leaf change its color after a while? does it get scratched easily since I didn't prime it?How did the dresser hold up?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The best way to answer the above questions and many others, I will post the following pictures of the same piece six years after. It is still as beautiful as it was on day 1, it is not scratched, it didn't change colors. Enjoy the photos.</strong><br />
<br />

<strong>If you have noticed, the color of the pulls is now gold. I didn't paint them I just applied gold leaf papers. And the perfect way to mix and match different colored pieces ( gold and silver ) is to have one big piece combining these 2 colors. </strong><br />

<strong>Did I even mentioned that I caught my husband many times closing these drawers with his feet?!! Yup, you heard me right, with his feet LOL. So the antique vintage finish gets better and better with time.</strong><br />

I painted and took pictures of these jars 4 years ago but I never had the chance to write the post.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>After breastfeeding my first child for 9 months and a half (yes the half is more important than the 9 months lol), I was determined to only feed him homemade food. First few months I started cooking for him and he loved my food. All was good until my sister and her family came to visit. I got distracted by them and I didn't have enough time to cook. Instead, I took the easy route of the ready baby food jars. When they left back home, I resumed the cooking and I used these jars when I'm out of the house ( or when I didn't feel like cooking ;) )</strong><br />
<br />
<b>Their adorable and cute shape made me save them for future DIYs . Removing the Gerber label was an easy task, just soak the jars in hot water overnight or throw them in the dishwasher. Then I spray paint the lids and add a label sticker and voila... All done</b><br />

She is my friend's daughter so I can now leave my 2 boys with her without worrying. And dare I say I'm also excited that I can wear not kid friendly outfits LOL.<br />

<br />
During winter, your outfit will look incomplete unless you are wearing a coat. That's why I'm always on a search for pretty and unique coats. This year I wanted a long wool coat with fur collar and of course without breaking the bank. So I couldn't be happier when I found this one at Nordstrom's and hooray it is PINK. I know I know I have too many pink coats but I always wear pink so I know that I'm gonna wear them A LOT.<br />

I wish I can them in other colors. They are sold out now but I will link similar ones at the end of the post.<br />

So when I wanted to restore this antique style end table I chose to gild it. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>In a previous post, I showed the details of <a href="http://www.mynameisrasha.com/2012/01/how-to-silver-leaf-furniture/">how to silver leaf</a> a dresser. It is a little bit time-consuming but the end result is well worth it. This time I used gold leaf papers, I chose pale tone gold, I don't like the very brassy gold color. As for pulls, I was so excited when I found these black white and gold pulls. They matched perfectly my courtly check Mackenzie Childs pieces. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Here are the pictures:</strong><br />

My little one was and still sick, he is teething. Four stubborn molars knocked the poor guy down. Fever, fatigue, and vomiting. He is sick, I'm exhausted, the house is a mess and no time for mama. My husband and son went fishing in the morning along with some friends. We were scheduled to stay home after they returned, but felt like that will drive- me crazy. I told myself that I need to go out to get myself out of this mood. So here are the details...</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Threw on a sequin gold skirt that I had from years ago (Forever 21.) Yes I know, you may say sequin in the morning! Well if you wear sequin with a casual sweater it will be the perfect outfit for the day. So I put on an off-white sweater with tiered sleeve detail. My favorite piece of this outfit is my very dear and precious vintage red coat ( This coat belonged to my mom and I love it way too much). As for shoes, I chose my Burberry sneakers with the perfect hint of red.</strong><br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>After getting ready my mood changed automatically, kid you not. This is the magic of dressing up. </strong><br />

<br />
Since it is a family outing, so I chose a comfy and cozy outfit.<br />

They can't function unless they have their morning coffee. Well, I hate coffee! I tried it with milk, creamer, and sugar but nothing made me hate it any less. On the bright side, I'm a tea addict. I drink it two and sometimes three times a day.<br />
<br />
In my home country we drink tea with any breakfast meal, and I carried this tradition to the States. That's why I wanted to have a tea station so I can have everything in my hand reach: mugs, sugar and of course tea bags.<br />
<br />
I snapped these pictures before my afternoon tea time.<br />

I chose pastel green for the toaster and pink for the electric kettle, and that makes me happy by only looking at them :) That's how I convinced my husband to buy them, as they say "Happy Wife Happy Life :)"</div>
