 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah everyone :) how have you been doing? I don't talk today anything about politics, but I remind myself and you to make duaa for all the oppressed ones, civilians, children, women, elderly, fathers, sons and brothers. ... So my day has been nice, alhamdulillah. I went to do some grocery shopping and then cooked etc, home chores. We woke up very late today. It has been a sunshiny day, but I was mostly inside like I usually am. But I have enjoyed my time. I tried the modelling clay and made a little plate, it's drying up now. If it comes out nice, I'll make more in sha Allah.  Then I made some kind of lahmacun, I didn't have the exact spices and I am not the best in making bread but it was delicious still.  Often I like to do something at home. The summertimes allows to make the balcony an extra room, and it is nice to do some arts and crafts there. Also I'm happy to do things instead of just lying down, of course. We are people and we ar...

Day of a tortoise

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah dears :) how are u doing? Yeah, I think I've overcome most of the anxiety. Now when I say this out loud, probably it will continue but alhamdulillah. I've been listening ruqyah while I have run errands and it's working really well. I recommend to try it, there's so many ruqyah "mixes" in Youtube so you can choose what resonates the best.  ... There has been some sad news, everywhere. I try to make myself happy with little things, as I happen to have this luxury and also this mental health. I bought some modelling clay and I'm excited to try it. I already have an idea what I want to make. I also applied to a school. What? I did it really. We'll see what happens, they might not choose me but at least I will try in sha Allah. ... But what's news today is that I cleaned Suttis' vivarium, lol. I clean it about 2-3 times a year. He is not very smelly, but it's good to freshen up. I went to pick some coco soil in t...

Help Gaza

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah all. How are u doing? I'm writing on my phone, 6am and I haven't slept at all. I'm ok, I am visiting my friend and we had a nice evening, talking, eating pizza and sauna. Maybe it's because I'm not at home, I have been very anxious and lot on my mind, I haven't gotten any sleep. Sometimes this happens, I might need some extra medicine and in sha Allah I'll be fine. ... So I have had time and u know, just been scrolling social media. That alone is sometimes upsetting to me. But especially now when as we know, Greta Thunberg and the rest of the group are being threatened. And the genocide happening. I'm sorry, I can't think straight and get my words right.. but u know what's going on and has been going on. I wish I could do something. I wish their task will be succesful, as the march to the Gaza border too.  It's also the day of Arafa. Our duaas must be with the Palestinian people. Of course with everyone who is...

Tell it to the trees

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah :) how are u? I had a nice day today. I did some laundry in the morning and then my two friends visited me, we had some coffee and very humble serving of some cookies, dates and grapes. Alhamdulillah. Then hubby came home and we had dinner and now I had time to sit down with you guys :) It was raining earlier but now the sun wants to come out.  ... Have you been fasting? I'm looking forward on Thursdays fast, the day of Arafat. Gotta say I have been kinda caught up with dunya so it's good to focus on reading Qur'an and making dhikr etc. even if it is on one day. I've been thinking about this, how I'm more living the worldly life and leaving the deen on the back of my mind. It usually always goes like this for me, when I'm doing great and things are going fine I kinda am lulled into the peacefulness. I'm not saying I am not grateful, but I just don't worship as good as I could. It's more of the difficult, struggling ti...

Good and bad, but in a good way

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh all :) have a blessed Friday :) I've been in such a bad mood for couple of days, yesterday I cried to my husband and today, alhamdulillah, back to normal. I have just felt so off, I don't feel so good about myself and everything seemed so sticky. That's how it be sometimes. ... Today I went to donate blood to Finnish Red Cross. I highly recommend! It's very easy and doesn't take long time, maybe the whole thing takes about 30 minutes, including a talk with the nurse, the donation and then coffee/juice/snack afterwards. I think the nurses are just so extra nice and they will make you feel comfortable. Last time I went was maybe around two years ago, so now after the longer time I felt the slightest bit dizzy but I feel good now few hours after. This is a very easy and simple act with so much good that it brings. You're able to help three people with your donation. These people might be for example a baby born prematu...

What's up

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah :) how are u doing? I'm fine, alhamdulillah. Days go by and it has been peaceful. I hope I could say that about the world too.. don't know where things are going. I wish Finland would step up with their foreign affairs/policies by recognizing of the state of Palestine, finally.  I also notice that my readers have vanished.. where are u dears?  ... I promised to show some new skincare products. These are not so new on the market but I haven't tried them before, so just new to me. But good ones :) 1. Lumene Micellar water This is for all skin types, without fragrance. I don't use much makeup on my skin, but I use this after cleansing gel. Instead of using my reusable bamboo pads I just take it a bit on my palm and then apply it to my face with hands. This doesn't irritate my skin, working well. Oh, I do remove my eye makeup with this too, what am I saying... with a bamboo pad. Very effective and gentle like micellar waters are. I'd...

To know me is to love me

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah dears :) how are u? I've been doing my things, just living daily life, alhamdulillah. Groceries, cooking, walking, talking with friends and now most recently, painting ( :)!) I don't know can other people see what I see in my paintings but it doesn't matter. It makes me feel better. My boys are so sweet too, my husband helped me to set up my painting space and then Suttis came to see me from around the corner but let me paint in peace. So cute ♥ ... Yesterday I wrote my diary and was thinking how I would describe myself. It's good to do these little lists, I like to see the 'facts' on paper and it's just easier to process. For some, making mind maps or those.. how to call it again.. vision boards? Well, anyways, you know what I mean. It's fun to do and gives a good insight in an outwardly way, if it makes sense. I came to conclusions that I am an ok girl and I would be my friend. Old experiences start to unravel and I und...
