 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah all :) Jummah mubarak, have a blessed Friday :)


Alhamdulillah. If you wonder why I don't comment about any politics, is that this is basically just my personal diary. I care about what's happening in the world. I don't have many solutions, all I'm doing is praying, boycotting, donating. I am not educated, and I have a mental illness, and even though I don't want to hide behind it, it affects me with a load of stress so I have to keep things simple. Mostly I talk about politics with my husband. But I understand that I have this platform, and of course I want to use it to something good. So here's couple links I have recently found which could be helpful:


->justiceforpalestine.eu 

Works only with a phone! No laptop, it shows the old site. In this site you can sign an initiative calling on the EU to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement. 


-> @rohingyawomencollaborative at Insta

I found this account and was ashamed. It has been too easy to forget the genocide that happened in Myanmar in 2012, 2016 and finally at 2017. I suggest to dive into this account and learn more about their situation.


Honestly, the world is more chaotic each day. Every day something new and worse. A new crisis starts before we hardly learn about the previous one. Subhan Allah.


...


I do wanna keep my blog on a good spirit, so now this is like Tiktok: happy video, genocide, cute cats, oppression, Spring trends.. I don't think this does good for us. It makes us more numb and I don't have any attention span. But I don't want to only complain, so let's just get into it, a literal Tiktok trend:

Japanese cheesecake:

you need

- greek yogurt

- biscuits


Making this properly you should add as many biscuits as you can, to a yogurt can. And let it sit for maybe 10-15 minutes. Then you have a cheesecake dessert!

I didn't wanna use all of my yogurt, so I put some in a bowl and made a few layers with the biscuits, let it stay for about 6 minutes + asr prayer. Alhamdulillah, this is really nice :) If you like yogurt, of course. It's kind of a cheesecake, I could taste it, but also it tastes like biscuits in yogurt, but that's not bad either. It's like a remix of my mom's cocoa yogurt. Only minus is that I used the wrong biscuits, they are on the boycott list but somehow I've yet to learn to check when I'm at the market instead of when I'm already home.. But I think you can use any type of biscuits, feel free to choose your favorite. And will work with a vegan option for yogurt too :)







...


I got another treat from the post today. Puffer mittens! So nice, and perfect fit. I love the color and they are so warm! I got them from Vinted. Surely I will use these a lot. There has been forecasts about the weather getting more colder again soon. In sha Allah. Warm hands in the winter is a must. 




...


Hmm. Yeah, today has been an ok day, but I have this underlying sadness, had it for days, even though everything is fine. But I managed to go to market today, didn't have much anxiety, alhamdulillah. I am sad about things I can't affect in any way really, so only I can make a duaa. 

I hope you are ok, and if not, it's ok too ♥ treat yourself. 

Later then,


Aisha

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 ...
