Lotus like me

  Salaam alaikum and hi everyone💓! It has honestly been a while. How have you all been?  Um, so before I get into the main post, I’d like to talk about my soft frog. So you see, one evening, I went outside after watering the plants and the grass to turn off the pump that pumps water into the house because the tank was filled. Now, I went out without slippers because you know, I'm weird like that. Anyway, my feet were directly on the wet grass and yes, I was irritated by it. So… I’m tiptoeing because I'm looking out for snakes and scary creatures, plus wet grass is weird and all of a sudden, I feel something wet. On my foot. My right foot.   I look down, and lo and behold, there’s a small frog on my foot. An amphibian. On my foot. I scream because why not? There was a frog on my foot for God's sake. Now, I ran back towards the house because… I seriously have no idea (rolls eyes, an afterthought “ Drama queen”). After recovering from my shock that gave me extreme tr...

 Salaam alaikum everyone. How have you all been doing? Two days ago was my 17th birthday and I celebrated it with my family and got a lot of wishes from my friends. What I'll be talking about is my inactivity on my blog, Wattpad and Inkitt. I have had to start learning German,  which you all probably know. My schedule is messed up because I'm not up to date in my course and I need to basically become a workaholic to be able to get back on track.  I'm just taking a couple of minutes to say what I have to before I get swallowed up by my work. It's been hard emotionally, psychologically and physically to have to not give up. On my dreams, hopes and everything in general. I won't lie and paint a pretty picture because I'm kind of a bad liar but still. I know that I have to push and find my motivation. So I'll try to balance everything and hopefully get back to writing. I really miss writing a lot. Let's keep praying, for our families, countries and for the w...

As-salaam alaikum lovelies!!! How are you doing today?  Knowing that I will be dropping my hair-care routine soon, I decided to include my DIY hair treatments as well. Remember that I'm no hairstylist, so a lot of these haven't been scientifically proven or properly tested. Also, some of these are inspired by a ton of YouTube videos and other research as well as trends. Anyway, after getting the technical part out of the way, we can proceed into the post properly. Treatments to be applied before washing hair. 1) Onion juice treatment *Anti-dandruff treatment, should be used before washing hair, supports thick and strong hair promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss* Recipe:  One large onion              One fourth of a cup of water               Two tablespoons of coconut oil Directions:  Chop the onion into small pieces and put them into a blender. Add in water. Blend until it's broken down. Pou...

As-salaam alaikum and hi my lovelies! How is everyone doing today? I've been wondering... Everyone knows practically everything that makes me happy. I am constantly talking about things that make me happy, doing things that make me happy and always trying to share that happiness with others. Overtime, I have come to understand that not all my interest are interesting and important to other people they way they are to me. When I started this blog, I said that I would talk about things that I had interest in and the things I felt that I needed to talk about. That mindset hasn't changed. I am just going to improve on that. One of the things that makes me happy is when the people around me are happy. Which is why I made this post. "What makes you happy?" I want to know not just because I want to create more viewer oriented posts but also because I am actually interested in knowing what you like and what you do not like.  I'm not selfish or self-centered even though I ...

I really appreciate every single read and I love you all . Now, back to fan-girling my baby. I'm so proudddd of my blog.  It started as a way for me to express my opinions and ideas and feelings without actually having to directly talk to people seeing the way that I can be kind of shy around people.   I...

As-salaam alaikum lovelies! Wie geht es euch heute? Heute mache ich meine Haarpflege Routine Post.  How are you doing today? Today, I will be making my Hair-care routine post.  I have a particular routine I really love to follow because it's what I now do unconsciously😂  Step 1 : Loosen braids- My hair is almost always in braids so this is usually my first step.  Step 2 : Detangle hair- Just lightly run fingers through the hair and loosen any knots. Use a wide tooth comb after that if you feel okay with that. Step 3 : Wash/ Shampoo hair- First, dampen hair then apply the shampoo on scalp. Lightly, scrub the scalp to the roots and work it to the tips. I shampoo twice, the first being the more intense scrub and the second to get rid of any residue. I am not a hair stylist so remember to do what is suitable for your hair and scalp. Step 4 : Rinse hair- Generally use lukewarm water or cold if you prefer. I tend to stay away from heat when it comes to my hair. Step 5 : A...
