hello guys welcome back to my vlog it is tuesday we are in the fourth week of ramadan which sounds
so crazy to say i can't believe there's only like four days left of ramadan so i am in the spirit
to do some ease shopping some Eid preparation and make some Eid treats i'm just in the mood to just
get Eid started so i actually just got almost all of my Eid shopping done i will take this
back inside and share with you guys exactly what i got because i'm so excited i normally
don't get a ton of gifts for my family i usually do like smaller gifts but this year i just really
wanted to spoil my family so i have a pretty big family i have six in my immediate family then i
have two nephews and i have two cousins that i'm really close with and it aunt so also together
there's about like 10 people so it can get really expensive so i use this app to help me budget and
make sure i don't go over my spending the app is called clio the app is right there if you
guys aren't familiar it's basically an ai powered budgeting app that helps you track your spending
it helps you build credit it helps you save automatically and has so many great features
so thank you to clio for sponsoring this portion of the video i used the app to help me track this
month's spending and oh my god you guys i am so embarrassed i spend an average about three
to four thousand dollars on just like shopping retail um just shopping and i was so shocked like
it's really really embarrassing and i'm so glad that i can see it here and this app will help me
stay under my budget it has like this roasting feature which is so funny so basically you set
your limits you say like i don't want to go over this much money and i want to spend this much in
this category so i said like for shopping i don't want to spend over a thousand dollars a month
so if i spend over a thousand dollars there's an option to click roast you because it is ai-powered
and basically it feels like you're talking to somebody there will be somebody on the other
screen saying like what is wrong with you it will give you a good reality slap back into saving mode
honestly it's been such an enjoyable experience using the app because it's not so serious like
all the other financial budgeting apps this one i feel like i can relate to a little bit more if
you guys want to check it out i will put my link down below so you guys can check it out but i'm
going to quickly run inside the grocery store i want to get a few ingredients to make this treat
that i saw online that looked so yummy i found the marshmallow cream that you want to get it's
the one from jet puffed this marshmallow cream has no gelatin so focus yeah it has no gelatin so
this one's good to go so i'm getting three of them because i want to make a couple more uh next week
um so i'm getting that i'm also getting this tray because i feel like i don't have a proper tray
and then for the cereal i have the rice krispies cereal i picked up the knockoff brand because this
one doesn't have high fructose corn syrup and the other one did um or well it had this one doesn't
have artificial flavors and preservatives but the other one did so picked up these two and that's
pretty much it we're making the rice krispie treats now and i'm also recording it as a real so
first step on medium heat add three tablespoons of butter and let that melt butter is already melting
and now i'm gonna go ahead and add the entire jar of marshmallow cream the marshmallow cream
is melting you want it to become like this kind of consistency um and then you can fold in your rice
krispie treats i moved over the marshmallow cream and now i'm just gonna pour in the rice krispies
you want to fold it in gently and at first it'll be easy but as you add in more rice
krispies treats okay a little bit harder just work through it i folded it all in and this is
what it should look like i used six cups of rice krispie treats i'll link down below the
recipe that i'm following i got off of pinterest but okay now we're ready to put it in the pan
so here is my pan and you want to make sure you grease this okay i poured in the rice krispies
treat and now you want to make sure you just press it in really really firmly so that way they
stick together the trick here is to use a spatula because it will help it lay flat and the spatula
won't stick i already cut out a few cookies just to test it out so the biggest tip i have for you
guys is to make sure that the marshmallow tree is fully cooled and really well pressed in so
it doesn't fall apart so i'll show you guys how i do it so i'm just pressing it in making sure
it's really really compact and tight so all you do is take your cookie cutter and press it in
shake it a little so it breaks apart from the others and then just punch it out gently
and look at that it's so perfect it's so cute okay we're gonna try a star now the stars are a little
bit tricky because of the edges you have to be super super careful so there goes the star one
shaking it around a little bit we'll bring it here and see if it comes out start with the edges try
to pull the edges apart first okay not bad i find with the stars you kind of have to like mold it
into shape a little bit afterwards so that one is a little bit wonky okay not bad look how cute
and then with this that's remaining just press it back in together and i find that it's working so
you can you reuse this now and i'm gonna share with you guys what i got so not everything i
bought today a few things i already had so i'm gonna be gifting it to like my family which i know
they won't mind because they love stuff like this so the first thing are hot hijabs this is going to
be for my mom this is they're both actually brand new these are their new satin scarves
and i have one that's already open so let me show you guys so hot hijab came out with these gorgeous
satin scarves and i know my mom is going to be all over this so i got one for her in a cream
color and i know she's going to love wearing this with her jc clothes so i have that for her
and then i also have um a couple other hijabs i already had this at home to be honest but i know
she's going to love it because she loves wearing my hijab so i got this for my mom and then i got
something for myself because why not i have to spoil myself too so i got two sleeves of nespresso
pods um they were out of my favorite flavor so i just picked up two new ones that i'm going to try
so i got that then i got something for my little sister okay let me tell you guys something about
her she goes through all of like my makeup my clothes my skincare and she just uses
everything and it's one of my biggest pet peeves like i just don't want her to touch my stuff
so i always end up buying her own things so one of the things that she's been like reaching for
recently is my quarterly vino perfect serum i use this at night to get rid of like dark spots and
she just wants it so i picked one up for her so i got this for her this is so pricey so she's just
getting one gift so i got that for her um and then i got something for my older sisters so for her
i got the new face device i've been raving about this um i have like their facial toning device
and i feel like it works wonders it works really really well on my face so i got the line smoothing
one for her so you can use it yeah you can use it like pretty much under your eye around your mouth
area near laugh lines and i thought this was like a good small gift to give her so i got this for
her and then four of my nephews i actually ordered um just like a few like toys and stuff with them
it is so hard and tricky to shop for them because they break everything they throw everything and
they just want something new like every other week so we just got like as a family we've got a ton of
small small gifts so it looks like i only have a little here but they'll end up with like 30 gifts
um so for a smile i got him some spider-man shoes because he is obsessed with spider-man and so i
got him these blue and red ones i don't know what my sister is going to say about them because they
are so bright she's like why did you buy these um because she likes to keep his outfits pretty like
not toddler looking but i got him those and then let me grab is gift okay issa is obsessed with
beyblades he has like 500 of these literally no joke this is probably the 10th when i bought him
but he wanted another one and i was like okay that's what you want so i got him
beyblades so that's what i have so far oh and then for my brother um he wanted um
a table and a microphone i guess he's starting youtube i don't know what he's doing
but i ordered it off of amazon so i'll quickly show you guys that he wanted this table so i
ordered that for him and then he also wanted a microphone so let's see this is the microphone

um or just keep this brand in mind so these dresses are from fedora this is not sponsored but
they did kindly give me these dresses and i'm just like obsessed with this brand because they have
the most gorgeous elegant i feel like either appropriate dresses they're more like an abaya
style maxi but they're so elegant and i feel like they would look perfect for eid prayer and so this
is the first dress i love this color this color is beautiful it's a gorgeous like muted subtle
mint um dress i love the sleeves and it hits me right at my ankles and i have on
some heels the detailing on this dress is so gorgeous it has like this
silver applique i don't know it's just stunning so this is the first dress this is the next dress
this one is so so stunning i feel like this color is so me it's this really light beige ivory
champagne colored dress that has like this gorgeous detail so the sleeves on this dress
are fully decked out all the way from the front to the back so gorgeous i love the little scallop
detailing at the bottom and then it has a ton of gorgeous work here at the top so a stunning on
and then it has the same tie waist thing so you can make it as fitted or as loose as you want
and yeah it hits my ankle as well this is the last dress it's definitely the most bright and bold one
out of the three but i thought i wouldn't like this one and i actually love it i think it's so
pretty i love the floral colorful um sleeves it has like these gorgeous embroidery on it
and then the dress is similar to all the other ones with the little tie waist over here
you could also ditch the tie waist thing if you don't want to wear it but so stunning i do want
to say the last two are a little bit see-through but this one is a thicker silk material so this
one is not see-through at all um but yeah i'm wearing the same heels these heels i will link
