Hani Hulu

Ever since I can remember my mom has been calling me Hani Hulu. My name is Hanyeh, but my family calls me Hani for short, pronounced 'honey'. Hulu means peach in farsi, but is a word of endearment, like calling someone sweetie. This is where Hani Hulu came from.

I'm an Iranian born, Michigan raised, Philadelphia based, Muslim 27 year old. I like to live my life breaking stereotypes as I think many Muslim women do. I like to prove we are not oppressed or less than others just because we are Muslim or because we cover. In reality, we are among the strongest women around. I'm an accountant by day at PwC, one of the largest accounting firms in the world. Being able to say I work at PwC and have passed my CPA exams is something I worked hard for, and I am proud to be here. Everything I do related to Hani Hulu - website design, posts, social media - I have done all on my own in addition to having a full time demanding career and I hope to encourage others who want to maintain a career and pursue other things they love as well. There is no limit to accomplishing things you love in life, so don't let anything hold you back! 

Growing up, I was going down the overweight tomboy route since I had two brothers and ate as much as they did. But somewhere down the line, I met my friend Fati - short for Fatima - who started to mold the fashionista you see now. I think my love started with heels and since then, I have picked up a love for everything else - purses, accessories and of course clothes. In high school I reached a point of being tired with my weight, and I educated myself on healthy eating and working out and completely turned my life around. I want to use this blog to share my health, fashion, beauty and lifestyle tips with others like myself. 

Thanks for stopping by and please come back!

**Please note I am by no means advertising my fashion style as the perfect Hijab/Modesty. I am merely sharing my style and I am always working towards bettering myself to become a better Muslim and Hijabi.
