Who am I?

Merhaba!

Welcome All! 

Thank you for visiting my first blog! I am Sana, an American-Pakistani living in New Jersey. I am recently finishing up my last semester at Montclair State with a double major in Chemistry and Arabic!  Yes! I know their two completely different bachelors! However I am leaning on teaching both!

 I started caramelchemist.com in 2017. This year is a constant juggle of being a daughter, student, sister, and wifey and with all this I want to share my knowledge, and experiences of a hijabi in an American society with you! However before I go into further details I must apologize in advance for my grammer/spelling skills. I dont pay attention to that much as long the point and idea is getting across!

A hijab to me is more than just a fashion statement. Its about my inspiration to bring out and strengthen modesty within me. Yes fashion plays a tremendous role in todays society but I feel that personality goes hand and hand. Its been a year as an hijabi and I have to say that it isn't as difficult at all. I can be fully covered, and still show my personality through my sense of style with modesty and confidence.

Along with the whole process of finishing my last semester and discovering myself as a hijabi while married to my best friend. I felt that this was the best time to start! I have more to share now then ever.
My goal is to hopefully share to motivate you!
Love,
Sana Ishaq

It is a personality improvement as well as attaining the right intentions which was what I wanted to work on. From how I styled my outfits to my intentions and words I wanted to be fully prepared.     However, I asked myself ...can you ever be fully prepared? No because we all strive to become a better person each and everyday. Even though I started building up to the hijab lifestyle, I prayed for a smooth journey. So when time came it would just be an easy.    Time, I always thought about, when would be the right time to start. Do I even have that time, or even just a tomorrow? But honestly I came a conclusion that there  wasn't a right time. It was something you had to just do and be prepared to commit and devote your life to. It wasn't about being ready but how to keep improving yourself at your own p

Chai always brings me memories of my mother’s home. That delicious aroma that would fill the house with warmth and comfort like a hug from your mother. I would wake up with this aroma rejuvenating my soul. Those weekend morning where we would sip on chai and chat for hours @truebeauty_95  and @sarahdreamingbig . I actually was never found of chai until I moved away. And now I make chai just to bring me close to home. Pakistani chai comes in plenty of variations. However all of these contain spices or herbs. There is cinnamon which is pretty famous in fall time for its rich aromatic fragrance and taste. Not to mentioned used medicinally around the world for it’s antibacterial, antifungal and anti-diabetic properties. Then we have cardamom, gives a refreshing minty almost kick to the chai and is great for digestion problems. There is also cloves which are great for when you have a cold because they are natural painkiller and expectorant. There are endless amount of spices out there
