Naturally

 Assalamu aleikum :)


How has your week started? Mine is going well, alhamdulillah. Today I didn't have work so I went to gym and after that I picked up my new winter shoes. I ate lunch, washed plates, made some hot cocoa and now I relax and chat with u. :)




...


I am slowly but surely getting better, alhamdulillah. I feel like the divorce is not on my mind so often, and I feel really now finally ready to move on. Have been dating but I started to date too quickly. It was my way of trying to move on, but it ended only to trying and not truly going forward. The divorce really broke my heart but I have been collecting these bits and pieces, gluing them together by the will of al Jabbar, and it is starting to lead to healing.


...


I made some soaps and shampoo bars of the leftovers I had. I still haven't learned to make soap from scratch, so I use ready made soap and shampoo melt and pour mass. I made the soaps in organic ingredients. The shampoo is not organic but the oils and ingredients I use, are. This time I made lavender soap bars and orange-rosemary-nettle shampoo. I like to gift them for my friends and my mom, so usually I make a bigger batch at one time. Now I got two soaps and two shampoos from the leftovers I had.


I use now only natural cosmetics, minus a Dove body lotion (it just smells so good!). My acne has calmed down so much and now I have a regular skin, alhamdulillah. My skin care routine is easy. For moisturizer and toner I use aloe vera gel and my own oil mix (almond, orange, rosemary). I mix them together between my hands and the gel and oil will come together as a lotion 8) Then I make face masks if I feel I need extra moisturize for my skin, or I start to have pimples.

Usually in a face mask, I use honey, rose powder, almond oil, a tiny sip of water, maybe oat flakes. I keep it in fridge and use every other day as long as it lasts. I usually make just a little amount, but I guess it would last one week in fridge in sha Allah.




Melting in process..






Ready ones, packed and wait for use.


...


I don't know yet what to do the rest of the day, but in sha Allah I find something to do. Cleaning never ends, and laundry has dried, so maybe I get into it soon. I try to keep my spirit high and just enjoy my days. I hope you can enjoy yours too. <3

Good to see you

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dears :) how are you doing? It's the endless promising that I will write more often.. I don't know why it is like this. But I'm really happy to see that you, dear readers, come back even though my lack of consistency. I can only promise to try to be better ;) I have been a little sick and even now I'm having some migraine symptoms. I've been in flu and had sore throat. Usually I'm physically healthy so this has stressed me out a bit. But alhamdulillah, getting better just in time for Ramadan. :) ... So yes. I have some news.. I got married ♡♡ I'm happy and it feels easy. We are still a bit strangers, we got married fast, so it's a bit of a learning process still. My husband is very sweet and takes care of me. It's the small things, he helps at home, always brings something when he comes (we are not living together yet), and gives compliments and intimacy. Alhamdulillah. Everyone have their misdeeds and m

Night time thoughts

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. How are you? I am stressing about some personal issues, so can't sleep. So, I'm making a cup of coffee, planning to stay up all night. And go market in the morning. I have the luxury to take a nap later, so staying up tonight is not a problem. This happens for me sometimes, I just have to stay awake all night. Night is good time for writing, as I feel a bit more creative. The vibe is different and the stimulation of outside world has shut down. ... What would I write then? I want to write about Palestine, I want to write about Sudan, Congo.. Afghanistan. Kashmir, Uighur muslims, Rohingya sisters and brothers.. Yemen, Syria. And more, that I know or don't, yet. The world is burning because of Western democracy, which means white supremacy and colonization. Certain countries supporting each other in this atrocity. Even Finland, a nordic, "real democracy", the "happiest country in the world", is delivering gun

 Assalamu aleikum everyone! 😊❤ How are you doing? It feels great to start over. For those who don't know, I used to write a blog with the same title, "Cup of tea with Aisha", for around five years until I decided to demolish the whole thing. 😌 And it felt good. It was one part of my journey, finding myself and healing, and also about all the stumbling along the way. But now that part, is a part of the past. I'm still on that same journey, but on another level - a lot has happened and changed. So this is it, same me but maybe a different perspective.. I hope that with sharing my thoughts and insights, you may find yourself not feeling alone with yours. ❤ in sha Allah. ... In my profile, I tell I write about daily life, food, beauty, travel, islam, mental health and relationships. So, for an introduction, here's a brief 411 of these subjects in my life.. Daily life Right now, my daily life is very simple. In Finland everyone starts by asking about work or school,
