Review | Zama Designs- Wall Art

Assalaamu alaikum readers.....

Today I'm doing a review on a company called Zama Designs where I bought my wall art from.

I recently painted my room and it looked a bit plain, I have a painting I did which is hanging above my bed (see picture below) but the wall I painted a dark plum/aubergine colour looked too plain and overpowering so I needed something to break up the colour.


I had thought about and looked at wall art calligraphy online in the past but it seemed too expensive and I didn't really look too much into how it all works. But after painting my room (and getting a job) I came across some of these companies on my news feed on Facebook and looked into it again, this time seriously considering purchasing one for myself. I searched a few different wall art sticker companies until I came across Zama designs, they had lots of reviews from customers on their facebook page and even had pictures of the actual pieces in people's houses which reassured me that they were a company I could trust.

So I looked through the gallery with my mum, all I knew at the time was that I wanted it in white to contrast against the dark purple and I wanted it to be quite big because my wall is quite big. I ended up choosing this design....(it was REALLY hard to choose just one design because they are all so awesome!)

I ordered a large size (30" x 40") which cost $59.99 Canadian dollars and a further $14 on top of that for p&p which is around £44 (GBP) it was a lot of money and the prices vary between designs and the sizes, but I was sure that it was what I wanted so I paid through paypal and waited.....

13 days after I paid it arrived (YAAAAY!)

I saw on their website a page about how to apply the sticker on your wall, it seemed quite straight forward, but my only problem was the wall I wanted to position it on is really high up so I had to stand on a ladder and put it up.

To be completely honest I did have a few problems putting it up, I tried their masking tape method but my tape wasn't strong enough to keep the whole thing up. I managed to slowly take the backing off and then I put the sticker on the wall with the sticky back plastic on the front. As I peeled the top sticky back plastic off I realised the sticker stuck to the plastic more than it did to the wall so it was a mission trying to keep everything in position, peel the plastic with one hand and try to smooth the sticker down on the wall with the other. Alhamdulillah I managed but it took much longer and much more effort than I had first thought it would, so maybe this is a two man job.


Right now (a couple of hours after putting it up) I'm really happy with my purchase and the way it looks on the wall, my only concern is a small part of it not stuck down properly (it wont fall off but its bugging me because I can tell it's not sticking down) and a few small errors which occurred whilst applying it (which you can't actually see unless you take a ladder and go really close to it anyway).

It looks just how it looks in their pictures and even looks like I painted it on the wall myself.

So overall I would give this company and the product a 9/10, what I think can be improved are maybe a different way of packing the product (because it comes rolled up which makes it have lots of bubbles and doesn't sit flat) and also making the sticky part that sticks on the wall more sticky so it easily transfers onto the wall rather than just sticking to the plastic transfer. The prices are high but worth it if you know you'll have it up for a long time.

I would definitely recommend this company and product to everyone because they are reliable and the quality of the product is very good.

They have quite a few different designs and can even custom make you a design or size to suit you.

So that's it from me (= Thank you Zama Desigin for this awesome wall art mashaAllah.

Hijab Style's To Suit Your Face Shape

So you're trying to follow a hijab tutorial but your hijab just doesn't look like the person doing the tutorial, you get frustrated because you can't get it right. Well to be honest I don't think it's so much you getting it wrong, it may just be that the hijab style being demonstrated looks better on the person doing the tutorial due to the shape of that person's face. Just like when you need to get a haircut, when styling your hijab, you have to consider the shape of your face. I've had many people tell me that hijab doesn't 'suit' them because their face is too round, or their cheeks are too chubby, which is the reason why they don't wear hijab, in my opinion hijab suits everyone, you just have to figure out how to wear it to suit you. Contrary to what many think, hijab wasn't prescribed to make you look 'ugly' it is to make you look modest. In this post I have tried to look at some face shapes and find some hijab style i

Beauty Review | FW Beauty Skincare

I finally got around to writing up this much requested post on the products I bought from FWBeauty, the reason I haven't written something sooner is because I believe it's important to be using a skincare product for a while before reviewing it, as most skincare products don't give significant results after just one or two uses. I've been following the founders of FW Beauty Fatiha and Yasmine's journey online for a while now and I love seeing how successful they are becoming. They talk about their products with so much passion and confidence that I had to meet them in person and try out their skincare products. If you've been following me on Instagram you'll know that I attended the Muslim Lifestyle Show a few weeks ago and picked up the FW Beauty skincare products that I've been dying to try ever since I saw the glowing reviews. They had everything at a reduced price and I picked up the clear complexion bar, the gold elixir brightening facial

I Took My Driving Test!

Salaam all, I recently took my practical driving test and I thought I would share my thoughts and feelings of that day with you inshaAllah. On Wednesday the 18th I had my driving test. I had practiced all  I could and now the rest was down to Allah swt. I tried to keep myself calm by telling myself that whatever happens it is Allah's will and if I don't pass then maybe this time I wasn't supposed to. As I stood for Taraweeh that night my heart was pounding as I asked Allah to keep me safe on the road and also for me to pass. After praying I felt a lot calmer and soon enough fell asleep. Woke up for Suhoor, prayed Fajr and tried to go back to sleep. All I could think about was how much I wanted to pass, not because I really want to drive or anything, but just because taking lessons was taking up a lot of my time and money that I could spend on other things. As well as taking up my parents time and my uncle's. I got a couple of hours of sleep and woke up bright and
