Chocoholic Hijabi Turns Three [Giveaway] CLOSED

I can't believe I've been blogging for three years now (it still feels like just yesterday I was typing up a little intro to the blog and first few posts!). So much has happened this past year, which meant that blogging has taken a bit of a back seat as work seems to be the priority. Nevertheless, I'm definitely not going to be giving up blogging any time soon!

As a little thank you to everyone who follows my blog via GFC/Bloglovin/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram etc. I'm going to have little giveaway. The prize is still a mystery, but it's a collection of some of my favourite things, including some handmade goodies (by me) and a gorgeous candle from Bespoke Henna (I originally had a set of decorated tea lights, but kept them for myself...ooops!).


All you have to do is answer this question: Describe your perfect chocolate.

Mine would have to be a cookies and cream truffle covered in coconut and dusted with cocoa powder =)


The usual rules apply:
- Follow the blog via GFC.
- If you like my facebook page, please leave a comment under the Giveaway Post for an additional entry.
- Answer the question in the comments box below.
- Please leave your email address in the comment so that I can contact you!

- Giveaway is open to UK residents only.
- Giveaway ends on Wednesday 25th December at 10pm GMT.

Don't forget to have some cake (or chocolate!) =D

Blog-versary Giveaway Winner and Something New

I thought I'd start off the new year by announcing the blog-versary winner! And the person who I will be sending the giveaway prize to is...

Subah Raja!

Congratulations! Please email me (chocoholic-hijabi@hotmail.co.uk) with your details and I'll send the giveaway prize out to you soon =)

As a little treat I decided to buy a blog-versary gift for myself (and of course take advantage of the sales that are on at the moment). I purchased the Nikon 1 J1 compact system camera (okay so it's not that little of a gift) in the twin lens kit from Jessops (link here). Hopefully I'll be able to improve my photography skills and this will then mean I can take better pictures for the blog. Also, it'll give me the chance to learn something new!

(by the way, that's a new pinboard in the background that I picked up from Boots. It was only £8 and  I couldn't resist!)

Anyone else trying something new this year?

Eid Mubarak! [giveaway closed]

Eid Mubarak to all my blog readers! I hope you all have a wonderful day and may it be filled with lots of love and blessings (and chocolate of course!) =)

Just a small giveaway to celebrate Eid! Even though my last giveaway only ended at the beginning of the month, I thought that Eid is a time for giving presents, so why not give a gift to blog reader!

The main prize is actually something that has come in very useful to me. It's a small book called Fortress of the Muslim, which is basically full of Invocations from the Quran and Sunnah. I find this a great book as it's pocketsized, which means you're able to learn something new on the go. The rest of the prize will contain surprise goodies (because we all love surprises!).

All you have to do is answer the question - What did you learn/gain from Ramadhan this year?

My own answer to this question would be that I gained an appreciation for everyone who was working during the month of Ramadhan. This is the first time that I've actually worked during Ramadhan, and combining 9-10 hour shifts with 16 hour fasts really did mean that I had to focus more on how to conserve my energy during the day, as most of the days I left for work at 5:30 am and returned at 6pm. Alhamdullilah, I found myself drinking a lot more water at suhoor and iftaar, and not drinking coffee in the morning, which I am hoping to continue after Ramadhan. InshaAllah next Ramadhan, I'll plan so that I am not working!

Rules:
- You must follow the blog via GFC
- You must answer the question in the comments box below.
- Please leave your email address in the comment so that I can contact you!
- Giveaway ends on Saturday 25th August 2012 at 10pm BST

Good Luck and Eid Mubarak!

Just a quick update!

If you've been following me on Twitter, you'll know that I've come down with a combination of cold/temperature/flu. Sadly, I think this is due to the lack of a Summer here is the UK as well as being quite busy over the past week (which isn't going to slow down any time soon).
Also, Ramadhan is due to start either Friday 20th or Saturday 21st July (depending on the sighting of the moon) and as I'll be starting a temporary job on Sunday 22nd, it'll be likely that I won't be updating my blog as often as I want to. I am excited that Ramadhan is here (the year has gone so fast!) and inshaAllah I'll be trying to make the most of the blessed month.


In regards to the giveaway, please do leave your email address in your comment! Also, readers who are re-tweeting, only one RT will be counted. There's only two more weeks left until the end of the giveaway so please do enter, if you haven't already (here) =)

CLOSED: Giveaway: 100 GFC followers!

I can't believe that there are over 100 people who actually read my blog and follow the blog with GFC. When I first started out blogging, I was doing it because I'd plan all these little articles and mini reviews in my head (actually I still haven't stopped), and to think that there are 100 people (and everyone else who follows via facebook, twitter and bloglovin') who take time out to read my random thoughts is pretty amazing.

And to thank you all for reading, I've decided to do a little giveaway! I pinched this idea off another blog (the name of which escapes me at the moment*), but the giveaway prize will be a collection of surprise items for the winner (which I am continuously adding to). The items will be based on my personal favourites and stuff that I use regularly (why would I do a giveaway with something I haven't tried myself?). It's kind of like a Pandora's box giveaway (without releasing the evils of the world!) =)

Enter the giveaway by filling out the Rafflecopter form below and leave a comment in the comments box. It will end on the 31st July. This giveaway is open internationally and as always there are a few rules:
-You must follow the blog via GFC and answer the question 'what is your favourite beauty product?' in the comments box (2 entries)

Additional entries:
-Like the Chocoholic-Hijabi Facebook page (1 entry)
-Follow @asmaamangera on Twitter (1 entry)
-Tweet about the giveaway e.g. I have entered @asmaamangera 100 GFC follower giveaway (1 entry)

And that's pretty much it! Like to keep these giveaways short, sweet and simple =)
