Plans and plants

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah all :) how are u today?

I've had a productive day and I'm happy for that. I planted some seeds, made some shampoo bars, went to market, cooked dinner, spend some time with hubby and went to pick two packages. Alhamdulillah. My period started so I take advantage of not following any schedule.

...

I also got my book from post! Healing with the medicine of the Prophet. It's interesting, I already went through it a bit. It's written by Ibn Qayyim. I'm excited to gain more knowledge on a matter that I am really interested in. I had this phase years ago where I was into herbal medicine, and now I've found that spark again. In sha Allah this is beneficial and I will learn new things. :)

What comes to the plants, I planted some cress and habanero today. I'll keep them still inside for few weeks.. let's see what happens. I have a little experience of growing chili on the balcony. That time I used store bought seeds, now I used just the store bought habanero seeds.. I mean the seeds of the actual fruit I got. Cress seeds are store bought. Last time I grew it, it didn't really thrive so we'll see. It's suitable for Suttis to eat, so that's why I hope it will grow well.

Another plant in my cup, I'm sipping that hibiscus rosehip tea. I think it helps with bloating/swelling. Now when I have drank it in the evenings, my face looks a bit more narrow before I go to bed. It tastes good too. 

We need plants for everything, plants are life. Even underwater, in the seas and oceans. Plants make sense. We need to protect them.

And how goes my plant-based diet? Well, I have eaten some tuna yesterday and today, so not successful, but I'm still on it. My main courses have been vegetarian since I started this few days ago. I'm learning and making better choices. 

...

The packages were nice too. I bought a winter/autumn jacket (I don't know how to tell this to my husband but it was a reasonable buy, hehe) and then a sports bra. Both were good, and I bought them second hand. I'm happy how my style has shifted towards this very comfortable, minimal but even a bit chic direction. I have a Pinterest board in my head what I want to implement in my daily looks. Mostly I wear something very comfortable. But it feels me, that's the most important thing.

Now I want to go wash the plates and maybe eat something small. Thnx for reading, you are always so welcome :)

Later then,
