Office hour

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dears :) how's your weekend been?

Alhamdulillah. I have had a nice day with hubby. We went out for a long walk, ended it with a market trip and I got myself some candy. Then we have just been hanging out and relaxing. Now I have some me-time and came to chat to you guys :) It feels like forever since I wrote my blog last time. Was it Monday?

...

So I sit in my kitchen office, and think that things really don't go like planned. Some things do though. And Allah's plan is the best. I have found some trust, some tawakkul to ease my way and it feels good, alhamdulillah. I was willing to take bigger steps, but maybe the small ones suit me better, at least for now.

I'm gonna start again going to groups as a part of psychophysical physiotherapy. I'm reasonably excited. The first group is gonna be Asahi group. Asahi is movement for body and mind, a method of excercise. To be honest, I don't know much about it, but it's nice to get to try it. In sha Allah I will get to participate other groups as well. 

Kitchen office.. I'm not even a professional blogger. And not many follows blogs anymore. My reading rates have turned low again too. I'm happy of each and every one of you still. I'd write even if I had just one reader. But yeah, I don't know, I didn't start this blog as something professional and it probably never turn into one. I don't want adverts on my site to bother you dears, and I want to always be authentic. No filters in pictures, and always honest words. But as we know, that kind of content is not so interesting. I don't want to end up like a broken record, but I'm afraid that's somewhat happened already. Because my life is going alright, not much has changed, this year has been about healing and growing. And I'm still at the same process. Maybe at 40 I will finally be grown? Achieved something? I've thought for a long time that I want to be a serene 40 year old, so in sha Allah I can have that :) 

I throw the ball also to you, dear readers. What kind of content you like to read? Leave a comment :)

1. Chit chat about life and stuff

2. Tips, lists and favorite things

3. Skincare, haircare, trends, outfit ideas, fashion forecasts 

4. Deeper topics like mental health, spirituality and islam, healing journey

Truth is, we all are still at a learning phase of something, whatever a person is working on. I hope we all do value the inner work, it's so important. Of course there are days and times when all our energy goes to struggling, or on the other hand we are happy and carefree. But may Allah always guide us to be better towards others and ourselves too. 

I want to learn making mood boards, of how you even call these :o .. Like to put together modest outfit ideas, or capsule wardrobe examples. I have explored my options, and there's one app which is really easy to use but it also costs so my broke butt has to still try to find a better option. But here's what I've tried so far:

I enjoyed making these, but I want to get more creative with it. I know this is so old stuff also, like people started to make these since Pinterest.. but I don't mind. So there's couple outfit suggestions for an autumn weather I put together with the (similar) items I have. The brown satin skirt is a star, it is so precious and beautiful, and can be dressed down or up by changing shoes and top. In the first one, I have a butter yellow college shirt and regular white sneakers to go with the skirt, and this look is easy to go to anywhere between market to meeting friends. The second look might look a bit too colourful, but I want to play with colors more than usually so that's why I chose this combo, it's still definitely wearable (my boots don't have so high heel). And the last look is just an easy, comfortable casual look to school or work, in the more colder weather. I didn't include headscarves in these pics, I don't know why, let's say that's a free choice :) pun intended.

...

As I write more and think more, I actually wanna write about everything. I think it has always been the strength of this blog, that every time it's a surprise what's it gonna be. Feel free to vote still! I want to know your opinion too. 

But anyways! It's getting late, or a long post, so I will continue next time in sha Allah. Thank you for reading, I appreciate it so much! ♥
