Nayima Hassan 💛 This birthday girl was pure sunshine! ☀️ Everyone truly adored her as she radiated so much light, love and joy throughout the room ✨ I’ve often wondered how & why some women sparkle so much more brightly than most 🤔 Perhaps there’s no simple answer... Whatever the secret is, even Queen Sheeba was smitten... and she’s cold-blooded! 😆🐍💖
Nayima Hassan 🍀 Wish me luck darlings…🙏 Wow, look at that chandelier! I’m feeling very out-sparkled 💎😂 Hopefully a dance from my heart and a touch of magic from Queen Sheeba 🐍 will bring all the glitter and enchantment deserving of this gorgeous event 💖
🧞♀️ Nayima Hassan 🍂 Today, the last day of Autumn was the perfect excuse to dance, sparkle, and warm up for Winter ❄️✨ It was the sweetest children’s party, and the little ones were completely enchanted by Queen Sheeba 🐍👑 …and judging by the wide eyes, giggles, and curious questions, I think they liked me a bit too 🤗💖
OPA 🇬🇷✨ Hi darlings! Tonight I'm at Electra House, twinkling and shimmying my way through a sea of Greek gods and goddesses…both mythical & mortal 😜 Come on in with me! 🤗 I've saved you a seat in my heart and I’ll dance as though you were watching🧞♀️💖 Nayima Hassan
