24.01.2022 MRD Mindset Tip ~ it’s ok to be sad sometimes, sadness is your mind’s way of dealing and coping with external influences that are out of your control I found this #graffitiart during food shopping around #southmelbourne yesterday Don’t know the story behind this Art but this person looks sad or angry and #melbourne is a bit sad these days at the actions of some of its people so we’re all going to be taking a bigger break from each other #stage4lockdownmelbourne... It will be a long time before I’m allowed to be back to #southmelbournemarket one of my favorite markets #melbourneiloveyou There’s always light at the end of the tunnel #staysafe #marwarida #marwaridadesign #australian #egyptian #lifestyledesignconsultant #lifestyledesign #artlover #melbournelifestyle #melbourneart #mondaymood #mindsettips

22.01.2022 Cooking is a form of healing - the actual process of cooking allows you the time and space to Stop, Breathe and Create! I love cooking cultural dishes especially for special occasions like The ‘Egyptian Style Fattah’ a popular Egyptian celebration dish usually cooked and enjoyed on the first day of Eid Al Adha - Festival of Sacrifice, similar to Christmas and Thanksgiving in western cultures. Many of the dishes shown below are inspired from North African, Middle-Eastern and ...Mediterranean cuisine ~ a tribute to this culturally diverse part of the world I inherited my hospitality and creative cooking gene from my mother and grandmothers ~ May they Rest In Peace. You can say it runs in the family Need help with home cooking ideas and recipes.

21.01.2022 Is it time to change direction? . Raw and Authentic. ... . I share parts of my story and why I am changing direction and the blockages and challenges I have faced in previous work and business environments as well as the challenges I have faced moving to a new market last year . I share this because Not enough people share their real business struggles. There is more learnings in struggle then in success . There is also No BluePrint to running a creative business or creative event business. It is All Trial and Error and today I am reminded how far I’ve come, despite having to close a business during a global pandemic . I believe my journey has only just started! . Thank you to All my coaches past and present who have believed in me and cheered me on during All stages of business . The only way forward is to face your fears and do that thing that you don’t want to do to move to the next stage in life .

18.01.2022 MRD Celebration Tip ~ Age is just a number and numbers are meant to guide us and push us to achieve more! . Counting Down: One week before I turn 42 ... . The first 2 years of my 40s seem to have gone by so quickly, because I have simply been making The best of my 40s . It is usually around this time that I sit and reflect on what I have accomplished during the past year of life . In my cultural background a lot of women do not really like sharing their age, they see it as a sign of revealing to the world they are getting older . I however believe that with age comes wisdom and women are beautiful at every age and every stage of life. It all comes back to how you see yourself #selflove . #throwback to one of my most memorable birthdays my 40th Marbie Dress-up Party, celebrating my love for Barbie (my favourite childhood toy), Diversity, Fashion and Friends @end2end_events . This year is going to be a #lockdownbirthday in #melbourne and I’m embracing that with all its challenges #lovelife #marwarida #marwaridadesign #australian #egyptian #mumpreneur #lifestyledesignconsultant #mumsinbusiness #womeninbusiness #throwbackthursday #end2end_events #celebration @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

16.01.2022 MRD Personal Styling Tip - It’s a fact, Jewellery / Accessories make or break an outfit! When you think of Statement Jewellery, you can’t go past the inspiration from the pharaohs Queens & Kings I’ve always loved statement pieces so much that I have had to dig deep and understand why I was so attracted to dress Jewellery. Turns out it is simply part of who I am! ... It took one trip to the Egyptian museum in Cairo to get a clearer insight into my heritage and see all of King Tuts Jewels on display.

14.01.2022 MRD LifeStyle Design Tip ~ Say it with flowers Flowers brighten up our lives with their beauty and fragrance anytime of year Dark red roses represent unconscious beauty. They are a bold expression of love and desire, and are captivating and enigmatic at the same time... Dark red roses also have the aura of mystery and leave nothing unsaid giving the bearer joy of saying something they are yearning to say but just can’t find the right words for #sayitwithroses Whilst the hint of Orange roses usually a mix of red and yellow represent Passion and enthusiasm by yours truely #flowerpower #stylingwithflowers #marwaridadesign #lifestyledesignconsultant #lifestyledesigntips #flowers #flowermeaning #deepredroses #orangerose #weekendvibes #sundaystyle

However when as humans we are forced to avoid face2face for a long time, like what’s happening in #melbournelockdown We begin to realise that being human is being kind in All our interactions with others Collectively as a city Melbourne is showing so much strength as everyone is doing their absolute best to stay healthy, positive and alive in mind, body and spirit We will do this, Two weeks down, Four to Go! #marwaridadesign #australian #egyptian #lifestyledesignconsultant #lifestyledesign #healthylifestyle #thepathtofreedom #stayingalive #mentalhealth #saturdayvibes

09.01.2022 MRD LifeStyle Design Tips ~ The biggest obstacle you will face in life is knowing your worth. Your best days are not behind you, they are still in front of you I’ve been doing some Spring cleaning and throwing out things that don’t serve me Came across this card from my last position at The Australian National University - Student Exchange Office in #canberra where I was juggling family, work and completing my events degree... This was my last official job and it ended June 2013, then a year later I kicked off my first business End2End Events after completing my degree That gap year/ transition from working for someone to working for myself, played a huge role in my life and business journey. It was the year I discovered what I really wanted out of life and started designing a life that I actually love I’ve always wanted to be my own boss, in fact #entrepreneurship runs in my family with my dad and uncles owning businesses in Egypt I share this because 2020 for many, myself included is a transition and transformation year. So know that with every change comes development, and make the best of the last quarter of this year so you can start 2021 on a high And if you come across Thank you cards from previous jobs or client testimonials from a happy client be sure to take the time to read them as they will remind you of why you are soo amazing #lovelife #marwarida #marwaridadesign #mumpreneur #lifestyledesignconsultant #lifestyledesigntips #saturdayvibes #springcleaning #thankyoucard

07.01.2022 MRD Interior Styling and Recycling Tip ~ Give second-hand items a new life! Events is an Industry that relies on a lot! From purchasing, planning, problem solving, dealing and managing people, styling and decor and the list goes on. Waste from events can be high if you are not careful.... I’ve always loved collecting and purchasing unique Op-Shop items for my events inventory, and now it’s time to let go of many things to move on to my next Stage in life and business. I found this second hand painted Japanese Style umbrella, in my kids fete in #Canberra years ago. It was in The Trash and Treasure part of the fete because the base was broken. I absolutely loved the Artwork on the umbrella and it was a no brainer to give it a new home I re-found it whilst going through my event stock recently and unpacked it from the box to see how I can re-use it. I then figured out a way to correct it’s base by inserting it in a raw metal mannequin. I absolutely love how it looks now and how it can be used as an outdoors setting this Australian Spring & Summer. The table and chair in image are also made from recycled metal and I like the combination of the beaten up rustic look combined with this beautiful painted umbrella. Doing my part in looking after the environment and reducing waste. How can you too breath new life to second hand decor and furniture pieces? P.S I will be holding a Stocktake Sale at End2End Events warehouse in October to help give new life to Event Decor and Home Decor pieces. Dates will be advertised close to date as we are still navigating through Stage 4 lockdown in #Melbourne #marwarida #marwaridadesign #australian #egyptian #lifestyledesignconsultant #lifestyledesigntips #interiorstyling #recycling #recyclingfurniture #umbrella #reducewaste

They are native Australian blooms, have no scent but they make up for it with depth and layers The waratah flower is derived from the Aboriginal word meaning beautiful it is recognized by most as the crimson coloured floral emblem of New South Wales Whilst the pink native protea flower represents change and hope This week has definitely been a week of change and hope as I finalise Stage 1 of packing End2End Events during #melbournelockdown Ofcourse I documented the process with tips to help you, if you too are packing which I will share later, but for now I will stop and enjoy looking at these strong blooms Happy Hump Day also known as #wellnesswednesday whatever you do today, Stop and enjoy what you are doing #lovelife #livelife #marwaridadesign #australian #egyptian #lifestyledesignconsultant #lifestyledesigntips #flowers #flowermeaning #nativeaustralianflowers #crimson #pink #waratah #protea

06.01.2022 MRD Healthy LifeStyle Tip ~ Find ways to immerse yourself in the story behind a piece of Art The Lotus flower in ancient Egyptian art is a symbol representing the sun, of creation and rebirth There were two kind of lotus flowers in ancient Egypt the white lotus and the blue lotus, the blue lotus was more fragrant and was used in gifting due to its fragrant allure ... The Lotus flower, also known as the water lily opens in the morning and closes at night symbolizing rebirth and regeneration I love this artwork on papyrus, found amongst my #interiordecor items of King Ramses II offering a bunch of Lotus flowers to Queen Nefertiti whilst she is seated on her throne The artworks of ancient Egypt have fascinated people for thousands of years The early Greek and later Roman artists were influenced by Egyptian techniques and their art inspires other cultures up to the present day.

03.01.2022 ‘The earth laughs in flowers’ Emerson because, Flowers brighten up any day It brings positive energy into your space, it’s theurepeutic and allows you to drift away in its beauty ... I love rewarding myself with flowers weekly, always picking the ones that speak to me and emit the energy I need to tap into #flowerpower Gerbera Daisies have several meanings, but all lean to happiness. Egyptian meaning of gerberas is closeness to nature and devotion to the sun, whilst Celts believe that the gerbera would lessen the sorrows and stresses of everyday life Do you know what the other purple flowers are and what they stand for? What kind of flowers are you attracted to? Chances are you need their energy in your space #marwaridadesign #lifestyledesignconsultant #lifestyledesigntips #interiorstyling #stylingwithflowers #springishere #flowermeaning #purpleandorange

02.01.2022 Amidst the ongoing rise in COVID cases in #melbourne and Stage 4 lockdown looming upon us I am reminded of the importance of keeping Calm when there is Chaos A trait I inherited from working in #events @end2end_events Sometimes this is easier said then done, so I’m tapping into a colour with a cooling and calming effect mixed with black and grey ... I hardly wear white but today was one of those days that I needed to implement white into my outfit #casualstyle #sundaystyle #colourtherapy Why White? White is an inherently positive color, it is associated with purity, innocence, light, goodness, heaven, safety, understanding, cleanliness, faith, beginnings, spirituality, possibility, sincerity, protection and softness amongst many of its other qualities What is your calming colour? Can you wear more of it during these uncertain times? #marwarida #marwaridadesign #australian #egyptian #lifestyledesignconsultant #lifestyledesign #personalstylist #personalstyle #whitevibes #wearwhite #eidvibes #sportychic #eidlockdown2020
