Bad governing

-

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah all :) how's your day?


I wasn't gonna write today, but I had to come to say something. Dear readers, especially my Asian readers, I'm so sorry about the racism our government keeps delivering. This is not the first time and probably won't be the last. This right wing "immigrant critical" full blown racist government is the worst in history, and I don't stand with them. And so does not, so many many others. But the damage is done. Our prime minister can't seem to do nothing, and our president has stayed silent too. Still I want to say that this is not the opinion of the whole nation, we just have a portion of imbecile rotten apples in power right now. So sorry these are the news you had to hear from our country. I do love you, dear readers, and your support means a lot to me. I support you too, and how you're feeling is valid.

Racism is somewhat new to me as a personal experience. I have been a muslim for 11 years now, and I've got my share of comments, spitting towards me, laughing and mocking, mean looks etc. I can't say I know how someone else feels, so I only hope we will still find positivity inside us and are able to find ways to cope. ♥

I want to talk a bit about something else to clear my mind. So, I did check my local Prisma's range in Urtekram products and I bought an under eye cream. It's for sensitive eyes, they do have another one too but that wasn't available. But yeah, I like it. It doesn't have an amazing effect, but I think now after some days using it, my small wrinkles have smoothened a bit. This under eye cream's active ingredients are almond oil and hyaluronic acid (and shea butter). It absorbs quickly and is nice and light. This is actually the first under eye cream I'm ever using :o




I want to try their serums next. I have to say I would have expected a bit more from them, but I don't know if it's just me. What works for one might not work for other. But I like that their products are affordable and certified natural cosmetics.

Today was a good day. Regular, but good. I finished watching IT: Welcome to Derry, proceeded with the first IT movie I'm gonna continue soon, maybe will watch the sequel too. Made dinner, washed plates, washed laundry, folded, finished. My anxiety feels easier these days. This is a bad advice, so don't take it that way, but I have kinda just tried to relax and not worry. I train my mind actively by changing my thoughts from worrying to this moment, where everything is ok. Again, a process. I know these are annoying advices people give, "just don't think about it" or "don't worry about it".. aarrrghhh. But I have to say even more annoying is that if I do play this mind game with myself, it kinda works. Anxiety is unpredictable though, what works now might not work later.

Maybe less of racism and more peace and love would help.

Remember you are great and cute and absolutely unstoppable ♥

I will relax with some good old horror now. Thnx for reading!

Middle of everything

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah 🌻 how's everything? The pause has had an good impact. I've done mindfulness exercises every day, and focused a little more in this world and all that is going on currently. And right now I'm, once again, learning about the right balance.  ... As a muslim, I am not supposed to be attached to this world, dunya, because it is temporary. The temptations there are, are making it easy to let desires lead one's life. And lead it astray. To me, for example, it doesn't take much. If I slip on few steps, I will feel very quickly I have gone more distant from Allah (swt). That only brings me emptiness.  So an easy way might not be a good way. But balance is not an either - or. It's found in the middle. ... I love nature. Animals, plants, the sun, the moon. Wind, rain, snow. Ocean and forest. I dream of a simple life, and to feel rooted in the Earth. Because this world, as we know it, doesn't exist only in vain. It is filled with beauti...

Had a nice time

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh each and every one :) how has your weekend been? I'm happy, alhamdulillah, I've had a very nice weekend. Yesterday I was out at bit, had lovely time. Today I walked to a nearby shopping mall, to a halal market to be specific, and bought few things for today's dinner. I made a Finnish dish, meatballs with mashed potatoes and some boiled green beans. I'll share my meatball recipe below (sorry, no pictures.. but if you are used to cook, you will succeed with this recipe in sha Allah). ... Alhamdulillah. I'm listening an instrumental version of the Algerian song "Aicha" and enjoyed some green tea. I've upgraded my teas and occasional coffees by making them in a high, thick glass. Instant coffee looks like a latte, instantly, lol :) Tea also tastes more refreshing from a glass. Hmm. Some tea lingo, english to finnish: tea - tee green - vihreä black - musta maito - milk oat drink - kaurajuoma sugar - sokeri hone...

Living with less

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah dears :) how has your week started? I had today the group I'm attending, the movement and relaxation one. I didn't go last week, didn't feel like it at all so I decided to pass. But it was good to go there today, it is definitely relaxing and I learn something new every time about my anxiety, and my body too. I noticed today that now when I have been going to the gym, my body is able to relax better. I don't get anxiety from moving, it feels natural and good. I didn't think I'd see results already, both the gym and the group, so alhamdulillah I am happy to get stronger. For those who wonder that who has to practice relaxing, well yeah I know it sounds silly but I guess mostly us who have struggled with mental health and trauma, have to learn some basic skills later in life. Alhamdulillah for these kind of groups that are accessible. ... One of the things I like about my husband is that he's into minimalism too. So, today was ...
