Welcome! My name is Ameena and I started this blog to share the different things that I come across in my day-to-day life. I love to talk about food, restaurants, books, fashion, and of course parenthood. I love to talk but my husband is tired of listening to me. I love to talk but I’m not so good at writing. I hope that in the process of writing this blog I can improve my writing skills. My husband just hopes that someone else will listen to me.
A little bit about me – I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, with an emphasis on Finance. I currently work in entertainment finance which I really enjoy. I’ve been in the industry for years, first at Paramount Pictures and then at CBS. After trying to juggle long hours and Maya, I decided to take the plunge and leave a good job. Now I work for a small production company that produces for the History Channel and I am much happier! On the side I also do consulting work which is a great way for me to learn about other industries.
My husband, four-year-old daughter, and I live in Los Angeles, California. LA is a great place but this city can really take its toll on you! The Santa Ana winds, the traffic, the beautiful, skinny people everywhere…I would eventually love to move to the East Coast or maybe even London or Paris. Maybe one day!!
Feel free to email me at ameenadin@hotmail.com with any other questions…
1. How tall are you? I am almost 5′8.”
2. How much do you weigh? 118 pounds.
3. What do you eat? I eat very healthy and mostly vegetarian. I do eat fish on occasion. Lots of eggs, vegetables, fruit, and nuts. Chocolate is always the highlight of my day, more specifically a square or two of Trader Joe’s Pound Plus 70% dark chocolate.
4. Where do you work? Right now I work at a production company for the History Channel. Being that I am only good at one thing – math – I work in Finance. What I’d love to do someday is read books for a living. I am just waiting for someone to pay me to do so!
5. Where do you live? Los Angeles

Adorable family (and I love the vertical strip paint in her room, by the way). Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m really jealous of your California location right about now–we’re freezing here on the East Coast.

You have such a beautiful family! And entertainment finance- that sounds really fascinating- my career aspirations include being in the television industry, more like International news (BBCWorld etc or my dream would be the Travel Channel!)
Sounds like we have a lot of similar interests!

Just stumbled upon your blog, it’s absolutely lovely. Look forward to checking back often

Hey there – Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I lived in LA for 10 years and even worked for Paramount for four whole days (worst job of my life).
My husband’s sick of listening to me too – happy to chat anytime!
January 25, 2010 at 12:45 am
Funny enough…not only are our names the same, but I also love to talk, yet I live alone and work in a place where I don’t have many friends, so there’s normally no1 around to really talk to, and blogging is my way of having what you call “a social life”.
Thanks for dropping in on my blog, I sure will be visiting yours…

Hi Ameena,
I like your blog. you’re witty, smart and honest. you definitely should write a book.
I was reading an old post you wrote about having a low self esteem when it comes to your look. Allow me to say, that was the least smartest thing you ever said in this blog. I honestly think you’re Gorgeous – yes, with a capital G!- I mean, models-Gorgeous. If you were my best friend I wouldn’t wanna be seen next to you ’cause you would make any other girl looks bad
Once again, great blog, and wishing you the best of luck in your life.

Thank you so much for what may be one of the nicest compliments I have ever received. Seriously, complimenting not only me but my writing too? You have no idea how much I appreciate your comment!
February 11, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Your house is super nice! From the two pictures I’ve seen, your husband must be rich because your house looks super classy.
I’ve been seriously considering becoming a vegetarian but I don’t have the will power hahaha. Chocolate is AMAZING. I once had a chocolate bar that had wine swirled into it while it was being made. It tasted soooo good.
February 12, 2010 at 6:13 am
Wow.. you have an interesting job. Love it! Enjoy it you and your beautiful family!

Your writing is so good! And, your daughter is adorable
I’d love to hear about your experiences working with the History Channel. I almost went into public television, but I decided to study nutrition instead
I’m looking forward to reading more of your writing!
February 26, 2010 at 4:14 pm
I agree with all the comments here. I saw your picture, and then your blog, and wanted to write straight away that you and your family are all very beautiful including your husband too. But everyone seems to have the same thought. I hope it can show you that if everyone has the same words in their mind even before seeing this page of similar comments, that you inspire people’s affections and that you seem a lovely person even with first appearances and also by the way you write and speak to us about yourself and your life through your blog .
And I am sure people all think god, I wish she were not married after we see that you are because you are very pretty (but wish you lots of happiness together), or I wish she were my friend. But it is the internet. 
Good luck with everything Ameena and good wishes for your life. 
Please don’t mind if people find you pretty, because at least for me, if i see someone so nice in appearance as well as that they seem a kind and nice person then i want to just say something nice to them about it and let them know that I appreciate it when i see someone like them. It’s a nice reason to smile for me especially when there are so many who get by without being nice natured.
Have you got a friend who is similar, lol.

Hi Ameena! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment…I really appreciate it! I can’t believe you were able to fit back into your pre-pregnancy clothes the day after you gave birth! I could only wish for something like that. You’ll be my inspiration! Thanks again..
