how to eat niqabi style

OK i got a comment asking about how do niqabies eat with their niqab on in public?

The first time i saw it happen was when i was travelling around Egypt (Pre-Islam) and was at some fancy restaurant in Cairo and at the table next to us was a man with his wife who was in niqab. I kept stealing glances at her because i was fascinated at how she ate with her niqab on. She was so graceful and all she did was basically lift up her niqab with one hand and eat with the other::

Let me show you with my trusty little webcam:::

Ok take your left hand and lift up the bottom of the niqab face flap thingy. Open it just enough to insert your fork/spoon/hand so you dont expose the face...

Then insert the food under the niqab and into your mouth with your right hand (it is sunnah to eat with your right hand only):::

Pretty simple - and when it comes to drinking gracefully - always opt for the longest straw you can find or make sure your niqab is long if you are going to go the cup-to-mouth way.

GO FORTH AND EAT!

PIXIE - by the way im wearing that niqab you suggested for me from Desert Store. I love it! Its so soft and i love the stringy thing (i got it yesterday so im still in new-clothing-happiness mode).

And i want that BABY!! how cute is he? Masha'Allah x 5000!!!!
