Don't give up

Whatever the place. Whatever the means. Whatever the time.

One needs to have something to say. One should tell something. Tell a story.

Or else one can believe that its heart died. 

One has to try. Again. Forever. Try. Try. Try.

Because there's hope. Always. There's light. Always.

Let your heart see the light, even when your eyes are blind.

Even when your mind tells you to stop trying. To give up.

Let your heart light up the tunnel you're in. And be the light you want to see.

Be the hero of your book and fly with your own wings.

"Take a chance. Because you never how absolutely perfect something could turn out to be."

Meditation #1

I don't need much. Just lightness. Calm. Peace.
I'm sitting with crossed legs. I meditate. I paint. I breath. I'm calm.
I can smell incense. The curtains are light. I can hear calming sounds. 
I paint. My hand is moving lightly.
I'm at peace. Everything is in harmony.

When I just don't know

picture not mine //source : tumblr

Sometimes I just feel like I wanna cry and I don't even know why. Like I need to cry so then maybe I'll just feel better. Sometimes at night I can't sleep and I don't know why. I start stressing out for no reason and my heart just starts beating faster and it becomes hard to breath correctly. Alhamdulillah I feel better than the last four months now.

I don't know I feel like I'm missing out a lot of things. Like my heart is so full of things that I need to put them out there.
I'm just trying to do some meditation sometimes before I go to sleep or just like listen to calming sounds or Quran to release stress or whatever it is.
I'm naturally a very sensitive person and I'm very bad at controlling/hiding my feelings, emotions.
Yeah that's how it is.

Well I missed blogging here. College has been good to me alhamdulillah, so that's why I guess.

Ok. I think I need to be more creative. I have to work on my unconscious creativeness to see what's going on in here. By here I mean me. My mind, heart and soul.

Thank you for reading, xoxo.

I decided a while ago || Augustus Waters

This may be one of my favorite quote from the book. The fault in our stars have been a big source of inspiration for me and a lot of people.
Life is short. Don't be afraide to live. Don't be afraide to fall. Create opportunities. Go for what you want and for what you dream of. Nothing is gonna change if you just sit there. Just start somewhere.
I've been seeing life from a very different perspective lately. I started to enjoy the smallest things and do things I thought I will never be able to do. Because I decided too, like Augustus said. I'm proud. I've changed and I like it. I've grown. Even if I still have some way to go, I will take the time to enjoy the view now. I'm hopeful. Like the kid I was...and still  be.


“He shook his head, just looking at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing," he said.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Augustus half smiled. "Because you're beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence.”

― John Green

Bye for now blogsphere, xoxo.

You just don't let me get you || inspired

 In a triangle love story I always end up loving the one who doesn't get the girl or the guy. Why? I don't know. Maybe because I like to think that I can understand them. I couldn't not like Choi Young Do's character in my favorite korean drama called The Heirs. The bad guy fell in love with the good girl. But he was an a***** and she loved another one who happens to be his ex-best friend. 
I was looking for quotes and pictures of this guy from the drama and I found very touching ones. I wanted to try something I never did before and so I wrote a thing and I guess it's a poem inspired from the pictures that I found. You'll find the pics just below the poem. Enjoy x

Let me get you

Everyday I wish that you were mine. 

I couldn't help but fell in love with you.

I fell hard and you wasn't here to catch me.

You had another lover.

I've never learned about love,

but I've been loved and I've been lonely.

I make you trip only so I can catch you're hand.

Excuse my ways, I'm desperately trying. 

But you just don't let me get you.

I don't know when I got hurt,

but it's still not healing.

I don't know how to cope with the scars in my heart.

Girl, you got me bleeding.

I'm sad when you're gone,

happy when you're back.

Baby, say yes.

Want to run away with me?

 

 

 Hope you guys enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it :) I was very inspired by Choi Young Do character and story. Uuuuh my baby is so cute! I really recommend you to watch this drama! I think of doing this kind of  creative things more often.

Take care,
xoxo

Socializing...How?

New people. New faces. New names. What? Is it happening again? This year again? I want this year to be different. I can just stay in my place, OR I can go totally crazy and be an extrovert and socialize with people. Yeah good idea for an introvert like me.

I hoped that this year was gonna be different, but this is how it was this morning: Everyone had something to say and they were all smilling and joking and stuff, and I was just sitting here during the break looking at them and at my phone screen in an uncomfortable chair for a coming lecture of 3 hours long. I thought "this year better not be like that". This summer I promised myself that this year is gonna be different.

Yes you are reading the struggles of a 20 years old girl in her first days in a new college. I thought at this age I would be someone who can easily approach people and be spontaneous and you know socialize. This has always been a struggle for me. I have to make this year different.

Goodnight blogsphere.

What I show them is not much

Sometimes it's hard to be yourself. When you give attention to what people may think of you.
I'm kinda tired. I have so much to do and I want to experience lots of things and discover and dream and love and be amazed by all the good things in this world.You know people just like to put you in a box and they like to think they know you and know all your personality traits.
They may think I'm predictable, because I acted a certain way but they don't know anything about me.
They just see what I show them and what I show them is not much, because they're not worth seeing the real me.
Because they judge too much and sometimes it hurts. And because I want to be around people who can be genuinely nice and open-minded and accepting. I'm letting you go to continue my quest.

Chocolate Mousse || Mousse au chocolat

Salam everyone :)

As you can read in the title, I am going to talk about chocolate. Well, it's actually the Chocolate Mousse or the Mousse au chocolat recipe. I did this dessert yesterday and it was delicious. It's very easy and quick to make so it's the perfect dessert to make when you're in a hurry or you're just tired/lazy.

Here's the recipe for 4 persons with the pictures I took while cooking :)

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1 chocolat bar (100 g)

10 small strawberries

1 pack of plain cookies

1/2 tablespoon butter

a small cup of coffee

a small cup of water.

salt and sugar

Instructions:

 

1. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks start to form.

2. In a bowl set over a pot of hot water, melt the chocolate and butter.

3. Transfer to a large bowl the chocolat and add the egg yolks and beat  the addition of each.

4. In a pan add the strawberries, the small cup of water and a tablespoon of sugar. Let cook until the strawberries become soft.

 

5. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until no white speaks appear.

6. Now fill the cups with a spoon or more of strawberries each.

7. For each cup, soak two or more biscuits in the the cup of coffee and add it on top of the strawberries.

8. Finally, add the chocolate mousse above the biscuits for each cup. Aaand we're done!

9. Make sure to refrigerate until well chilled.

A day with me || Why Ramadan is my favorite month

Ramadhan Kareem to all my brothers and sisters from all around the world!

It's already day 6! Can you believe it? I hope you're having an amazing Ramadhan with your family and your loved ones. Inshallah we benefit from this blessed month and from the goals we set to ourselves for this Holy month. Don't give up guys, we still have 24 days to do our best inshallah!!

I love Ramadhan so much. The Ramadhan spirit is so unique and heartwarming, it's my favorite part of the year. Especially when it happens to be during my summer holidays haha.

During the first week of Ramadhan I tried to capture my favorite moments of the daily life during Ramadhan.

Of course the  Number One moment is IFTAR TIIIME!!!

They say "show me your Ramadhan table and I tell you where you come from". Well, actually I just made this quote, BUT I think it's totally true. I love Iftar not only because it's the moment we break our fast, but mostly because everyone is around the table. Family is one of the things Ramadhan is about.

This is my favorite piece of the table! This literally is the Queen of the food categorie of Ramadhan for me.

We call this Brik, and it's very similar to samoussa.

TARAWEEH TIIIME (ie PRAYER TIIIME)

(Oh between Iftar and Taraweeh there's dishes time but it's the boring part you know)

Seeing the mosque full and trying to make a place where you can pray alongside the sisters is the best feeling ever! I also love seeing brothers and sisters on their way to the mosque for taraweeh with their Qamis and Abaya swag. In a western country it's like the BEST!!

That's my mama's abaya by the way. I wear this to go to pray Taraweeh.

And finally two of the most important and symbolic part of Ramadhan for me:

Fajr prayer and Quran reading

 

I try my best inshallah to read the Quran during the day or after the Fajr prayer even if I don't completely understand it, but you know Ramadhan is all about trying to do our best to improve our faith and to move on to new better habits.

Take care everyone and May Allah help with this blessed month <3 br="">

A day with me || I start to feel the summer vibe

Summer is here, Ramadan is near (see what I just did?) and in a week I'm in vacations!!

Can it get even better? I'm so excited for summer and for my blogging projects and internet stuff. 

Inshallah I will have enough time to create better content during my vacations. 

Also I'm going in a trip with my family and of course I will blog about it and everything!!

For today's post I wanted to show you the beautiful pictures I took when I went to this magical park
with my friends. The view was amazing and the weather was a bit hot but bearable.
I wish I did a picnic that day.

 Here's my outfit. This shirt/dress was perfect for the weather <3 br="">

Thank you guys for reading. Hope you enjoyed this post. I can't wait to talk to you about my new blogging projects.

I have a new Instagram account here, so come and say hii :)

 

#OOTD || geometric patterns

Hey guuuys!
I am so happy about today's post, because I'm going to show you my new favorite shirt EVERRR and favorite sandals EVERR. For me, this outfit is one of my tumblr outfits goals, and I feel so accomplished right now. Don't judge me. If you have already seen my style inspiration #1, you will know that I was very inspired lately by a certain fashion style. If I want to describe this fashion style, I would say it is mostly black and white and there's sometimes some stripes, jeans and it's super comfortable and loose, simple and modest. I couldn't stop posting these inspired outfit pictures in my tumblr. In one word : I'M OBSESSED. Without further ado, here are the pictures of my outfit.

Rocking the outfit with a pair of jeans:

The outfit with cigarette pants:

 

 These sandals make me emotional...

I really hope you enjoyed this post :) Tell me which pants goes best with the outfit.

Also, I made a new Instagram account @Dreamy_naa, if you'd like to check it out.

Okay :) Til' next time <3 br="">

New Favorites || Female Energy

I was thinking about what kind of post I could do to introduce you to my new favorite sound, and I thought that I had to write an entire post about it. This sound is called Female Energy by Willow Smith. Her voice is so refreshing, the melody  is so calming and the lyrics just amazing. I'm not used to listen to this kind of songs, but I was looking for something new that stands out and I found this.

" Whatever, whatever I guess whatever
I don't care, get dressed whatever
I don't feel like talking, whatever"

Guys just check it out already and tell me what you think  :)

FEMALE ENERGY - Willow Smith

Have a lovely week end everyone!!
Take care xoxo

Style inspirations #1

Salam guys! How are you? It's been sooo long since my last post, but I've been so busy with my internship and I was a bit overwhelmed by a few things like personal change and life decisions.
Today I wanted to post about fashion and a new style that I started to like lately. I was scrolling through Tumblr and I found several looks that I was really inspired by. Personally I don't have a specific fashion style, but I like to try different styles every now and then.

(Follow me on Tumblr guys!!)
I really loved these looks, because of their simplicity. They look really comfortable and I'm in love with the colors, even if it's mostly black and white.

 

Hope you enjoyed this post :) Until newt time guys!
Take care xoxo.

Would you rather TAG #1

 Hey guys!! How yall doing? :)
Today I wanted to do a Tag blogpost, which I didn't do for a long a time. I think Tags are really fun to do, and I really enjoyed doing this one. So here are my answers for the "Would you rather Tag #1".

Would you rather walk around all day with you skirt tucked in your underwear or be seen wearing a really see through dress?

I would rather wear a really see throught dress, because at least I can cover myself with clothes under my dress Haha. The skirt thing will be too embarrassing.
 
Would you rather go to a party and not realize until the end of the night that you have lipstick on your teeth or that your fake lashes are coming unglued?

I would rather not realize until the end of the night that I have lipstick on my teeth. Seems more bearable.


Would you rather forget to put mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?

 I would rather forget to put mascara on one eye, cause it will be harder to noticethan the blush on one side I guess.

Would you rather wear lipstick/lipliner combo or frosty blue eyeshadow?
  
 Lipstick/lipliner combo is the new thang! So this one :)

 Would you rather wear foundation that is two shades too light or go way overboard on bronzer?

I would rather go way overboard on bronzer, cause I don't wanna look like a vampire.

Would you rather drink an entire bottle of ketchup or run into the guy who broke your heart on a bad hair day when your skin is freaking out?
  
Umm Ketchup please.


Would you rather be able to date any celeb you wanted or wake up with perfect red carpet-worthy hair?
  
Date any celeb I want *cough*  aka Harry Styles *cough* or Theo James. I will survive without a red carpet hair look.



Would you rather have your armpits smell musky or like delicious lasagna?
  
 eww..ok..um delicious lasagna ok?
 
Would you rather give up your makeup or cell phone for one year?

I'm don't wear make up on a daily basis, so I would rather give up makeup for one year. It will only be beneficial for my skin haha

Would you rather run into a cute guy you like with food all in your grill or no makeup at all?

Um I would rather run into a cute guy I like without makeup at aaall. I will survive I guess. 


I hope you enjoyed reading this one. Feel free to do it and let me know so I can read your answers!!
Bye bye loves.
 

Healthy midnight snack

I was just on my laptop scrolling through tumblr...you know as usual and then I felt a bit hungry soo I decided to look for something to eat (oh my god I'm such a bad storyteller). I opened the fridge and right in front of me I found strawberries! So I told myself "why not be healthy and eat some strawberries?". 

These past weeks I became quite obsessed with healthy food and exercising and stuff, which is pretty cool for my body.

So all you need for this healty snack is some strawberries and whipped cream.

Don't really know if whipped cream is healthy but hey there's the strawberries soo...

Put the whipped cream on top of the strawberries, and then you'll have this masterpiece :)

Goodnight loves :)

Good Vibes

Hello there :)

Waw I missed this place! It has been almost three weeks since I wrote my last post, and it felt like forever. I feel like a lot of things have changed already...waw.

So here's my "a New look for a New start" phase. I wasn't really planning on doing a new blog design, but the last one became too boring for me and too dark/sad. I just wanted to have a fresh, colorfull, light new design to start this spring/summer thing as it should.

No more stress, no more needless anxiety.
More sun, more blue skies, more fresh drinks, more happiness!!! Inshallah!

I can't wait for summer holidays. And Ramandan pleeaaze, I'm so excited :)
Inshallah more posts are coming and I have in mind new projects as well, soo it's gonna me awesome inshallah!!

Summer and Spring vibes pics

(None of the pictures above are mine. Google is my friend and Tumblr is bae)

 

I JUST NEED TO START OVER

If you feel like you're missing something out there, then why don't you go find it?

I had tons of new posts ideas, but I didn't feel like writing them or posting them. Why? Because I'll be doing it just to do it. I had a lot of mixed emotions these past few days, and it kinda hit me hard. I felt really confused about everything. Myself, people and life in general.

SAVE YOURSELF

Life is strange, and life is hard. Life is even harder when you force yourself to be something else, or when you act someone else. Why? To please people? You're not even living your life anymore. You're wasting it. You're wasting your personal potential of being something GREAT. You don't need the approval of others to allow yourself to be happy. To be in peace. To do the things you like. To do the things you believe in.

 

 

Life is short, therefor don't waste it on people who don't deserve your company, or who tear you down. They just wanna feel better about themselves.

Someday you will be old, and wishing to have back this energy you had when you were younger to do great thigns. WHY?!!! Why didn't you change your life, when you had enough energy to DO IT!!!!

YOU'RE NOT SATISFIED WITH YOUR LIFE?!!! CHANGE IT!! 

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, OR CHANGE?!! START SOMEWHERE!!! 

We're in this together. Love yourself. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. Be your Number One supporter. Have fun.

PEACE

Peace...Peace.........Peace...............Peace of minde.....Peace with myself......Peace with....life.

That's what I'm looking for. But? Do you actually try to understand yourself? Your needs? Your feelings? like...Do you take the time to ask yourself what's going on? like your asking someone "why you seem so tired today?" "You're okay?". Be attentive  to your soul.

I need to take a break from social medias for a while. I need to concentrate more on myself and my needs. I need to reconnect. I need to restet myself as would Jerome Jarre say.

 

 HEALTH

Body health = Mental health. 

I think its time to give my body what it needs to receive. Eating more healthier. Doing a physical activity (at home for now lol).

Being healthy doesn't mean being skinny. Love your body and protect it. Don't be harsh on yourself and say Al'hamdulillah. Don't believe in society's perfect body image. Our society is pretty screwed.

I'm trying I guess to get out of my comfort zone. Pick up new habits. Loose bad habits. Grow. Start somewhere. Enjoy the journey. Don't put too much pressure, just learn you know.
