Did you stumble upon your career or was it something that you always wanted?

I always wanted to do something different and on my own terms. I started my career in teaching but very soon realized that it’s not my cup of tea. Working in a set pattern, fixed timings and a fixed routine was not what I wanted to do. My mind was always working in a creative way and I knew I couldn’t grow myself into a fixed routine. Even though earlier I didn’t know that I would end up being a marketer but it is definitely what I wanted to do and I love doing.

What was your “aha!” moment?

When a brand that I always wanted to work with approached me themselves to handle their PR and marketing. That was when in my mind I thought, “AHA, now I’ve actually achieved something” Did you ever consider or experience a career change?

Yes, when I was into teaching I knew since the very first day that I cannot do it long term. I didn’t know back then what I wanted to do, but I definitely knew it wasn’t teaching.

list?

To be able to motivate and influence more girls and women out there to believe in themselves.

What does nobody tell you about being the boss?

That being your own boss is not always as easy as it looks.

Nobody tells you how hard it is to push yourself to achieve what you’ve always desired to.

Name on boss lady that you admire and how she still inspires you?

I am highly inspired by Huda Kattan who has not only made a mark in the beauty industry but also motivates millions of women out there. I wish I am able to do the same.

"YOU ALWAYS LEARN FROM YOUR FAILURES. EVEN IF THE TIME IS BAD, SOMETIMES IT’S A BLESSING THAT YOU GET TO LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. NEVER GIVE UP, THAT’S THE LESSON."

When was time you felt completely discouraged and how did you push through it?

Yes of course a person after sometime feels drained out and discouraged, especially through my weight loss journey there were times I didn’t feel like working because physically I wasn’t strong enough, but my support system, my husband, always motivated me to push through and overcome any stress or depression.

What was the best advice that your mentor gave you?

My mentor is my Doctor, Dr. KIQ who has not just been a doctor for me but a motivator who keeps me going. Whenever I am down he tells me to believe in myself and have complete faith in Allah and that’s how i can pass every obstacle and that’s how I keep going.

What are the top 3 things you cherish in your life?

My beautiful family, my supportive and loving husband, my son who has always understood how important work is for me though he is just 5 years old and of course my work.

What is #1 thing that is yet to be ticked off your bucket

Describe a day in your life A typical day is waking up at 6:30 am to send my son ,Shahzain to school and Aazer to work.. After that I sort things at home, respond to emails etc till the time comes to pick Shahzain up from school.

After offering my Zuhr prayers and feeding Shahzain lunch I leave for my meetings which I try to wrap up max by 6 o’ clock so I can come home and have dinner with Family.

My kind of work doesn’t really have fixed timings so at times I come home when my family is fast asleep. I usually like to end my day with having conversations about my day and work with Aazer and seek each other advices and also watch our favourite tv shows together.

Complete this sentence: To me, a #BossLady is…”

Someone who knows how to leave and never gives up no matter what, What did you learn from your biggest failure?

You always learn from your failures. Even if the time is bad, sometimes it’s a blessing that you get to learn from your mistakes. Never give up, that’s the lesson.

Which world leader would you most like to have dinner with?

Justin Trudeau for sure What advice would you give to young girls out there who have dreams and goals like yours?

If you have a dream, chase it and achieve it. Don’t just give up. Success doesn’t come overnight but if you’re committed and determined, you will achieve it.

Slurrrp!

Oreos & french toast

8 This week Team Paperazzi headed over to one of the cutest and most fun patisserie in Lahore, Deja Patisserie! We were psyched to try out their latest brunch menu and trust us when we say it was all worth it! From the presentation of the food, to its amazing, flavourful taste and the cleanliness of the bakery, we were super impressed. Khadija made sure that everything was served to us in style and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

MENU: K’s style chicken parm(Moroccan sauce) Oreos and French toast For the love of Hollandaise (Poached eggs and hunter beef) Smashed potatoes with chicken.

Tell us about Luxe Gift Wrap?

Our ideology is simple, providing the most luxurious, innovative and fuss-free gift wrapping and gift-giving service alongside bespoke favours. We believe in using the best, and our products are sourced from both local and international luxury retailers.

The perfect gift for any occasion is a form of art and most people don’t have the time or expertise to reach that pinnacle alone, so that’s where we step in!

What was your inspiration behind starting the LGW? This one’s easy: our mother. Growing up, she would give us the most unique gifts wrapped in the most extraordinary way! Her vision is so spectacular, we couldn’t help but share her talents with the world.

WRAP IT UP!

When did you start this gift wrapping service?

Planning for the business started in the summer of last year, but we officially kicked off in October 2019.

How long did it take to launch your business?

From planning to officially executing and sourcing all the products it took just under a year. We wanted to research the market and fill the gaps so that we truly stand out.

Tell us about the different products and services you offer?

At LGW, there’s something for everyone. From unique floral and fruit arrangements, to breathtaking wedding favours, special birth announcement giveaways, birthday favours, baby baskets and everything else in between. We also provide exclusive desserts in collaboration with the nation’s best, Ganache and offer gift wrapping services for all occasions.

ABOUT ME!

How do you manage working in such a wide network stretching from UK to Pakistan and more?

Thanks to the digital age! Our reps are based globally but we are in touch constantly. We aim to deliver the best, and communication is key in any business.

In your opinion what do you think makes Luxe Gift Wrap different from the rest?

We are perfectionists and are determined to make every detail count! Small things like our wrapping paper and ribbons even are source from England, UAE, Canada and America. Our creative vision is completely different to what you’ve seen before and we aim to create magical moments for you and your loved ones every time.

Where do you see Luxe Gift Wrap in the next 5 years?

Are you considering opening up a store?

We’ve had a great start and overwhelming response from the beginning, so we can only hope and work towards building our clientele and customers while never compromising on quality. A store is definitely on the line, and Paperazzi will be the first to know when news breaks!

How hard is it to satisfy clients with your work? Have you ever dealt with difficult clients?

In any business you face difficulties, but with a cool head and reasoning there isn’t any complication you can’t overcome. We haven’t had any major disasters as of yet, let’s hope it stays that way, haha!

Do you have any major competitors?

There is so much talent in the industry here and we’re just newbies not trying to step on anyone’s toes. We’re firm believers that as long as your ideas and concepts are unique, there’s no reason why we can’t all work together.
