Documentary

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah :) how are u?


Today I went to the gym and market, cooked some meat stew in the oven and then I have just relaxed and had some period cramps.. I drank my last cup of tea for tonight, a cup of peppermint tea with milk. I know, milk doesn't go well with herbal tea but I like the sweetness of oat milk mixed with the lovely mint taste. I have to put milk or it's not tea! Or actually, with mint it becomes some type of moon milk I guess.. well anyways. How have you been doing?


...


I put Blue Planet II in the background while I'm writing. There's something in the sea that is so calming. A whole different world. I have felt a bit apathetic in the evenings and ocean documentaries are a good remedy.

I've been happy too, don't get me wrong. But this time of month makes me a bit sad and it's just normal.


I have rejected again few men and feel disappointed. But knowing that I am in the right place and time, where I'm supposed to be in sha Allah, gives me comfort. And my friends have so much patience for me. I guess there has been growth. At least now I know my boundaries and am not afraid to keep them.


...


I like Pinterest so much, it's also a good distraction sometimes.. I relax by scrolling through fashion trends and outfit ideas. Home decoration and sunflowers. Recipes and also, islamic reminders. I started a new board called "my capsule wardrobe", and I try to add all the items there little by little. You can follow me in Pinterest too, you can find me there by my name, Aisha Elina. 

(Cute, there's Nemo and Dori in the tv now :) )

(My personal favorite is the turtle)


...


So yes, there is times to be happy and there is times to be more patient. It's all good, alhamdulillah. I hope you all have had a nice weekend, may Allah bless you and your families. <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,
