Something profound happened to me the other day and I don't think I'll ever see or experience the feeling of fear the same way ever again. You see, for the most part of my life I lived in fear. The fear of moving to another country at a young and impressionable age. The fear of [...]
Assalam alaykum lovelies! I put up a poll on my instagram story a while ago and asked if you guys would like me to share an updated list of my current favourite things and 100% of those of you that voted said yes. It warms my heart to know that a number of you enjoy [...]
Assalam alaykum my beautiful people. I pray you are all doing well and most importantly are keeping safe; the omicron variant is not playing at all. My son's first birthday is in a couple of days (most likely the day after this post will be published on my blog) and I'm feeling a lot nostalgic [...]

Assalam alaykum lovelies! I hope you are all feeling great today and on track to smashing the rest of your goals for this month. Can you believe there's just a few more days to wrap up this year? A few more days before the lapse of a decade and the start of a new one? [...]
Assalam alaykum ummati! I genuinely hope you and your loved ones are doing great. For my brothers and sisters that are sick, wounded and troubled, may Allah swt grant you all shifa and sakina and may He mend the hearts of the broken-hearted. So, it dawned on me a couple of days ago that I'm [...]
2018 would go down in history as one of the most challenging years in my life. If my life were a book and you were to flip through the pages and land on chapter 2018, you would be sure to find that all its pages are highlighted or emboldened to emphasis how deeply impacting the [...]
