 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dears :) how are you doing?


You are hardworking readers, this month I already reached almost 1000+ reads, thank you :) This is my small little project but I'm happy to reach so many. It's not a lot but to me it's millions. :)


Today I didn't have work, I have just cleaned home a bit and then I went to market. I used my last money and now I have to hope we will manage with hubs until the end of this month. We bought a car and well.. I also got used to live more lavish cos I had some extra money but now it's back to square one. I have low income but alhamdulillah I'm used to it so in sha Allah we will be fine.


...


When I have troubles, I like to hold onto my dreams, big and small. And all kinds of daft and scatty things. Netflix and chill and so on. A little Pinterest here and there.. my favorite daydream is fall into the fashion rabbit hole. So here's my take on Spring/Summer trends 2024:


1. Printed scarves

This is a trend which will probably come back soon, if it already hasn't. Animal prints, florals, marble. Maybe stripes? Or paisley, paisley would be cool.


2. Belts

I got one black belt with a golden chain buckle. Then I have some belts for certain abayas... but yeah a belt is definitely a trendy piece right now. I wear mine mostly in special occasions like if I go out with my friends or something like that. It's not very halal to wear one, so this is a controversial one for me. (as muslims we are not supposed to reveal our figure)


3. Flower pattern henna

This Eid I decided to get a different kind of henna. Sorry I still can't post pictures.. I think solely floral henna patterns will be a new trend too. I have no idea has it been a thing for a long while, but anyways it's refreshing to see something new in this area too :) Look for floral henna in Pinterest and in sha Allah you will find many inspiring, beautiful designs.


4. Sky blue

Finally! I've waited this, and now I have that blue purse I was looking for. I have also one blue scarf, out of my comfort zone so I haven't used it yet but maybe summertime it will be my go-to. :) Burgundy is also very in and it looks nice with bright red accents. 


5. Own style

Own your own style. I think that is what is mostly trending in 2024. Wear what you want, and be creative with it. I gotta say I dress kinda basic, I mostly just wear an abaya and scarf so it's very minimal and simple. But there's always room to play with accessories and colors. 


...


I guess it's coffee time, I will make one nice cup for myself. Suttis, the tortoise, is finally eating some spinach leaves. He is very picky eater but I will continue to make healthy choices for him. And myself too, but today I ate two chocolate bars.. it was for my mental health, ok? :)

Anyways, thank you for reading! Next time then,


Aisha

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,
