About Me!

Hi gal pals! I’m Zaina Banihani! I started The Chic Chemist in 2018 as a way to express my love for shopping and science. During the day I work away in a pharmaceutical lab in my fancy-dancy lab coat and by night I am stalking deals everywhere and anywhere! I am a big clearance rack girl and if I’m ever lost in a store please just go directly to clearance and I’ll be there under the piles and piles of deals I have most likely found.

I live in Cherry Hill, NJ with my sweetie pie bubby boy Michael. He’s a 4th grade teacher (so cute I know). We’ve known each other for ten years and it was just a matter of time until we became a “thing”. We have one little puppy girl, a tri-colored standard Australian shepherd named Remi. He is an avid Navy football fan and along the way I’ve become a semi-fan also. I’m very glad and lucky to have him in my life on good days and bad.

I’m a recent University of Delaware graduate (GO BLUE HENS!!) who loves wine, hamburgers, cooking dinners, and binge-watching Netflix. When I’m not blogging, I’m most likely relaxing on the couch watching TLC, Food Network or HGTV or I’m snuggling with my mom at her house! I want to find more hobbies so any suggestions are more than welcome!!

I’d like for The Chic Chemist to be my special ray of sunshine to come home to after a long day. I am so excited to join a community of awesome women and hope to inspire many more! I’m an open book and would love to answer any questions you have so reach out at anytime!! I’m so glad you’re here!

Love always,

Z
