Instagram Update

As stated previously at the beginning of this post, I have been pretty rubbish a blogging and showing you what has been going on with my life.  So I thought the best way to update you gust would be through my instagram pictures. If you are on instagram do come and follow me because it is where I upload the most and just to see what is going on with me (@capturing_my_world).

So I came back from Dubai to the rainy north of England 


The leaves started changing colour 


The picture of the cake I made for Eid Ul Adha made it into this Sorted Food video :)


It was still raining 


Autumn was in full swing 

My friend got married and it was beautiful wedding 


We went to Morocco


It was my birthday and this was a handmade car from my sister (you can see her blog post about it here)


The festive lights is Manchester Arndale were looking very nice 


The days were getting shorter and I realised that I was awake (most of the time) before the sun was 


And before I knew it, it was new years eve, and because it is my grandma's birthday in new years day we always spent the day with family and I baked a cake 


I was experimented with colours 


And had my first rainbow cupcake order


We finally started putting our VHS tape onto DVDs


One of the advantages of having shorter days is the I would see this whenever I left work 


No comment ;)


I was working all day on pancake day so the next day I made savoury sweetcorn pancakes with mushrooms and a freshly laid fried egg  


I bought a new baking book which I love 


I'm really getting into gardening 


I love watching the plants starting to pop out of the soil 

Also trying to be more healthy 

And Spring has officially sprung 

So now you are up to date with what has been going on. I think I might make this Instagram update a regular feature I quite like it. Remember for all my goings on check out my instagram (@capturing_my_world) and until next time, bye :) x

Dubai Diaries - Going to Abu Dhabi

So whilst we were in Dubai, we took a mini road trip to Abu Dhabi. We took off straight after breakfast on a Friday so we could make to the Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque for Friday (jummah) prayer. It was probably the best experience of my life so far and the highlight of my year in 2013 ( as stated in this instagram post ). The mosque was the purist of whites set of against the bluest of skys. The architecture and structure was just amazing and I was totally in awe of its beauty. We also visited the Emirates Palace Hotel which was full of decadence and sheer opulence. Of course I took loads of picture and a vlog as well so here they are. 



Love these flower motifs on the ceiling 



So beautiful

Through the key hole 



There were these floral tiles around the walls



The hustle and bustle after prayer 



Love these gold palm leave on the pillars 



Basking in the sun
