I just wanted to take a moment and sincerely thank you for your support for our Dunlap High School World Hijab Day event. Your donation made our dawah efforts possible and here is what our students had to say:

"Alhumdilillah, it was a great success and we had so many girls, and boys as well, come up to our station this year in comparison to last year 🥳 Many of the girls who came up were willing to wear the hijab and the hijabs donated were gone in a matter of 20 minutes or so!"

Asalaam Alaikum We at bronzingserumreviews.com are proud to announce the winners of our 2016 Scholarship program. Our winners are chosen not only for their outstanding scholarly achievements but for their character, commitment to the community and the potential for leadership. These young leaders apart from excelling in their education have contributed immensely to those around them and their communities. Every year it is really a tough decision for us to select these 8 winners out of over 4000 applications. Each one has a compelling story of struggles and achievements, giving and leadership and we feel so helpless sometimes that there is so little we can do. Imagine if we could help 80 or 800, how that would shape our community. But that is a battle we have to fight with your help by making East Essence a more successful brand so we can do much more for the community. We need your constant support and inputs to be better than what we are and do more than what we are doing now. We are your brand and we represent all of us, and together we will keep doing better.

Thank you for being a part of the bronzingserumreviews family!

2. Arif ul Baig, India

...Electronics Engineering 3rd year student. This scholarship will help me continue my education which has been in jeopardy because I could not pay for my living expenses and have to support an ailing mother.In Sha' Allah Tala someday I will be in a position to help others like East Essence has helped me today. Jazak Allah Khairan Eastessence people.

3. Deena Dahsan, Lithuania

...student at Marshall University pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in biology with a premed focus. Medicine is a field that women sometimes shy away from and are discouraged to pursue. I want to make a difference by helping relieve people's pain as a doctor but also by building a better image of Muslim women as hardworking and important pillars of this society. We have the potential for great things, but it requires patience, determination and gratitude. Alhamdullilah this is all from the blessings of God. The generosity of the East Essence Scholarship makes it easier to achieve my goal financially, so I can spend more time focusing on my studies. I never imagined that I would receive this opportunity, and I encourage all of my sisters to never give up anything no matter how insignificant it may seem at the time

4. Hibo A, UK

5. Nusrat Javed, Bangladesh

Student of medicine at the KM College I am pursuing a dream to work towards serving the underprivileged in my country. My father died when I was 7 years old and shortly after that my mother passed away. I have been brought up by my Grandfather who is a retired Post Master and survives off a meager pension. I have struggled my way through school, college and now Medical College. It has been a struggle studying and working to pay for my education. I am so thankful to bronzingserumreviews for this award. It has relieved me of the immense pressure of paying my tution fees. Now I can without any pressure and stress devote myself to the dream of completing my degree in Medicine. Thank You East Essence, Thank You.

6. Siti Syuhada Binte Faizal, Singapore

Today, as a Muslim, nothing is more important to me than seeking the pleasure of Allah SWT. One way to do that is through seeking knowledge for the sake of Allah SWT. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him" (At-Tirmidzi). One of my main goals in life is thus to constantly seek knowledge so that I can contribute to the community and society at large. It is thus important for me to pursue education to the highest level and I am determined to be the first member in my family to graduate with a doctorate.

7. Tasmiha Khan, Lithuania

.......a health professional and public health enthusiast. She is an advocate of higher education. When not studying, she works with American Muslim Health Professionals as a Youth Liaison and does research on examining the different emotions Muslim Americans has been facing after 9/11. She enjoys learning about spiritual development and stargazing"

8. Zeenat Waris, India

.......Writer, Activist, Mother, Wife, and Student defines the many roles I play every day. I believe a smile is the most beautiful curve on a women's body, education is the most precious belonging and for every woman her hijab is her crown. Thank you East essence for this scholarship award that will help me pursue my dreams.

I am 20 years old and I will be a junior this fall at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities. I am majoring in marketing and minoring in international business; next fall I will be taking 16 credits of required curriculum and 15 credits in the spring. I will be studying abroad spring 2014 and will be planning to use my scholarship money to fund this fall and next spring's tuition. Studying abroad is required within my college at the university and I have been accepted to study at Carlos Tercera Business University in Madrid, Spain and will be there the whole semester.

This will increase my knowledge of other cultures and assist in my understanding of international business. I will be graduating May 2015 and plan to work on the marketing team of a Minnesota based company and will hopefully obtain the opportunity to get my MBA master's degree a couple years after my undergraduate studies. I hope to work for a nonprofit company to give back to the community due to all that it has given me.

Thank you for this opportunity to further my education. I truly appreciate being able to apply and achieve this scholarship. Scholarships and grants are an amazing advantage for students across the world and help to emphasize the importance of education. Due to this scholarship I can continue my studies and hopefully attain success for myself and my community in the future.'

Assalam Alaikum,
Baraka Allah, I cannot put into words how much this meant to me. Inshaallah my troubles ease more and more each day, I am truly grateful. The abaya is wonderful Masha Allah and I love the color and the pockets (just discovered them) it has too!
After entrusting my troubles, fears, and worries to Almighty's plan for me, my situation has turned around in so many ways. Now that i am able to wear full hijab with abaya, my life has never been better. Alhamdulillah (Masha Allah, I'm crying so many happy tears writing this). May Allah bless you for the vital role you have in helping so many sisters, inshaallah.
My children love the transition and have told me they prefer me in hijab with my abaya, which warmed my heart and brought me to my knees in thanks to Allah and my sisters who cared so much to help me. Only Allah could know how this makes me feel and how much it means to me.
Assalamu 'Alalikum Wa Rahmatullah,

The civil war in Syria started in 2011 and has displaced over 5 million Syrians. The displaced refugees both in Syria and outside of Syria are in need of our help. Most have been displaced in neighboring countries and some are still searching for refuge.

Our staff at East Essence wanted to focus on helping the children of Syria since more than 50% of the Syrian refugees are children. Like any child affected by war, most of these children are in a constant state of fear, feeling lack of safety and have lost everything. These children have been out of school for long periods of time and have lost the basic necessities that most of us take for granted.

East Essence would like to raise $100,000 through our Help Syria’s Children Campaign. Mercy Corps will be the recipient of this donation since 86% of their donations goes directly to the source. Mercy Corps works all over the world, in the toughest areas to improve the lives of those affected by natural disasters, war and economic downfalls. They have helped over 258 million people since 1979.

What is the Help Syria’s Children Campaign all about? We had a friendly competition at our EE Headquarters to see who can submit the best T-shirt designs capturing our reflection on the current crisis with a focus on the children. We narrowed it down to 5 designs which we will be selling on www.bronzingserumreviews.com. ALL profits will go towards the children of Syria. Our goal is to raise $100,000 and we need your help!

I know many were touched by Aylan Kurdi, the young boy found washed ashore after drowning while escaping Syria by boat with his family. There are many Aylans out there, but I believe his death was a wakeup call to the world. We have an obligation to our communities both locally and abroad. Let’s do what we can.

If you are like me, than you’ve probably asked yourself, what can I do to help? Well here is your chance. You can help in the smallest of ways; purchase a t-shirt to benefit these children. Contact your local Masjids, schools, employers and encourage them to purchase one too. We are also running a customer competition, the one single group or institution that purchases the largest order; we will be gifting 20 gift cards to the EE website in amounts ranging from $20.00-$50.00. T-shirts will sell for $10.00. The Institutions or groups with the largest purchase will be featured on our site.

Don’t tell yourself you can’t change the world. Stop…reflect…take action…and make the change. Bring peace to these kids’ lives so that we can start helping them rebuild. Spread the word and pray for the people of Syria. We would like to hear your stories and see you wearing these shirts, use #EEHelpSyriasChildren.

'All the sisters from all the masjids were very, very, very happy to receive the abayas. They all expressed how beautiful they are and love the designs and colors. I cannot tell you how many hugs I received and how many ladies had teary eyes as they opened the brand new abayas! Some even said that this is the first time for them to wear an abaya that has not been passed down to them by someone else!

We were able to team up with one of our community members named Saba. She recently quit her job and decided to do something that gave her a sense of meaning, so she packed her bags and went to Greece to offer her assistance. East Essence took the initiative of shipping clothing packs to make Saba’s trip easier. The Men, women and children were grateful for new clothing to wear since many of them just had the clothing on their backs. When Saba recently shared pictures with us, we felt our efforts have paid off.

East Essence will continue to do our part in helping refugees and less fortunate communities around the world. We thank our customers for making this possible, since your purchases help fund these programs.
