Clutter cleaning time

-

 Assalamu aleikum dears :) how are you?


Alhamdulillah, like I posted in Insta, I left home early this morning because maintenance came to fix the radiator. I went for some groceries and then a cup of latte. Usually I drink a cappuccino if I go to a cafe, or a 'regular one' meaning just plain coffee and oat drink. But latte gave me some more time. Then when I came home, I just started to take my scarf off and the maintenance guy was at the door.. can't flee these social interactions :)


...


I know we muslims don't celebrate new year, but still we are living in this world and the year has changed as the common calendar says. Also Ramadan coming closer, alhamdulillah. Time to start fasting last year's missed days in sha Allah. But yeah, I think this is a good time to take a new start on things. Or start a new take.. however you want to put it :) For me it will look like waking up my minimalist side and clean the clutter at home, going through wardrobe, kitchen cabinets.. and also eating more healthy and exercising more. The autumn time is usually naturally a time when you just want to be cosy and comfortable, and the Christmas time is the highlight of it. That's just how it seems to go.. but now, temperature goes down and it's time to tighten up the belt, enjoy sunshiny, cold days by spending more time outside and start living again.

Last year was kinda heavy, personally I did have troubles but many I know have had it worse. I hope that in sha Allah 2025 will be filled with positivity and good news. I don't know does my hopes help though but I want to look the brighter side and do what I can for it.

 


 


...


So to continue, here's some ideas I want to try this year:


- buy less clothes and things, only what is needed and if possible, second hand

- save money

- leave eating any treats for the weekend and opt for healthier choices

- take things easy and focus on mental wellbeing

- practicing positive mindset and gaining confidence

- enjoy creative hobbies and bake more, also try more new recipes


...


Yeah January has good vibes. I mean, in this happy little bubble. World hasn't settled down and there's still crisis in so many places. So remember to boycott companies, who don't care about their workers or how they impact on the world and continue supporting genocide. Also sadaqah, donate what you can and try to do good deeds. We have power in our hands and wallets too. 


...


Never give up. That's what I want to embrace today and the days ahead, and remind you too. It's time to start working for better :)

Have a nice day!



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...

Hello hello!

 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, ...

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...
