A Simple Reason Why You Should Accept Your Limits

December 27, 2017

I care too much about the sanity of my own mind and the edurance of my body to even try to push beyond my limits. I'm the kind of person who would rather take it slow and steady rather than to stress out my body too much to get where I want. Call me lazy, entitled, spoiled but that's just me.

We're grown to believe that hardwork gets you outcome. Which is completely true, but you have to know where your limits stand rather than working until you fall ill and start making careless mistakes because you're tired all the time. What are you doing to your body? Why are you pushing it so darn hard to achieve something that might not matter in 10 years time?

A Little Bit About Yoga

December 18, 2017

As I write this post, it's been about five days since I practiced a full yoga routine, and before that, it was almost two weeks since my body got the stretch it needed to function happily. I like yoga; I enjoy the practice of it. It's become a part of me that doesn't shake off that easily. My body craves for the stretch, and my mind yearns to be calm amidst the madness we call life. Gah!

Weather-Wise in Rose Pink

November 20, 2017

Remember when I slightly mentioned about Bahrain weather being a little less than 25 degrees Celcius in my last post? Well, the weather has cooled down slightly. Hello, winter? Not really, we're just waiting for it to rain to officially mark the start of winter. When the first bit of rain falls, expect the majority of the people in the country who owns a smartphone will be spamming their social media, boomerang-ing, and documenting the raindrops.

Or as Hilary Duff would put it, Let the rain fall down...

Little Baby Blue Dress That Makes Me Go "Damn Girl!"

November 15, 2017

Every time I look at these photos, it lights up something inside me. Not trying to sound like Narcissus by the river but it's the dress, where I took these pictures, and the fact that I look and feel hella good in it, *flips hair* that makes me feel fuzzy inside. The little baby blue dress that makes us go Damn Girl!

Maple Holistics: Tea Tree Oil Shampoo That Could Be Your Solution

November 1, 2017

Having curly hair is the bomb! All I need to do to get ready in the morning is sleep in braids the night before, apply just a tiny bit of water and coconut oil on it, take out the braids, fluff it up a bit, and boom! My hair is ready to tackle whatever bird decides to nest in there today!

Small Steps to Big Ones

September 11, 2017

I adore taking outfit photos. I like dressing up, meeting up with fellow blogger Shabana @ The Silver Kick Diaries, and posing in the middle of the street to take pictures. I like to show you all what I wore and how I styled it, it's nice. I feel accomplished when I do. But, honestly, it's been a struggle coming up with content these past few months—most of the year actually.

Gratitude List: Yogi's, Travel Plans, and more

August 28, 2017

We're quickly moving towards the end of the year, can you believe it? So, I thought I'd write a gratitude post with the list of things I'm grateful for this month. I can't believe that by next week, August would be over and it'll be September. It scares to watch time go so quickly, next thing we know it, it'll be August 2018! Gah. Slow down a bit time!

Your Well Deserved Meh Day

August 14, 2017

Just when we promised ourselves to wake up 2 hours before we're supposed to leave for work or school; two hours to shower, meditate, workout, actually have a proper breakfast, and to take longer getting yourself ready. Let's face it, we've all done this. I've done this about three times since the week started. I've made huge progress from not waking up to my alarms at all to waking up and just staying in bed for an hour. That's what I call taking it one step at a time.

Tapping into That Comfort Zone

July 12, 2017

Since I got back from vacationing in Hong Kong and Singapore a few weeks back; which was great by the way, I have found myself doing things a bit outside of my comfort zone. What I thought I was used to and okay with, apparently I wasn't.

Back in the Groove

June 21, 2017


You know those times when you need to do something and throughout the day you forget about it but when you go to sleep that night, you suddenly remember? So, you make a note to do it tomorrow morning or that afternoon, then you forget again, and the cycle goes on and on and on.

Sad to say, that's what was going on over here. Every time I remember about writing a blog post, the feeling of guilt would washed over me and I would force myself to sit in front of this empty New Post page on Blogger. And just like that page, I was blank. I would type up a line or two but it wouldn't feel right. I didn't know which angle to take or what I wanted to say.

Why You Deserve To Celebrate

April 10, 2017

During those days when the confetti pops because you graduated from uni, you hit a target, it's your birthday, or simply just because, becomes a challenge when we need to convince ourselves that we actually deserve the celebration; the smiles, the heart-warming words, and all that cake.

Colors that Follow

March 31, 2017

Do you get those times when a color would just follow you around? When you find yourself being surrounded by a specific color and you have no idea what happened? Perhaps you have more whites in your closet, or everything you buy some how turned out to be peach. Do you ever get that or am I just crazy?

Wear it With Pride

March 14, 2017



I've got loads of dresses that I've been dying to bust out since the temperature dropped this winter. And I finally did, not once, but twice with this Emerald Bodycon Long Sleeved Dress.

This dress was actually one of those that I was keeping for a rainy day when my muffin top wasn't too visible, and my thighs looked thinner. Then I decided to wear it anyway despite what flaws I think I have, with the curves, the thighs, and the semi-dark knees.

Accept What Comes

March 9, 2017

I've grown up thinking I was right most of the time. I never liked to be wrong, so much so that I would get angry and agitated whenever someone would correct me, even with the smallest things. I remember having arguments with my siblings about something that doesn't matter now, and I ended up being at fault and on the wrong side. I didn't like it. Who does, honestly? It hurt my pride and self-esteem. It made me feel like I wasn't good enough.

I was young, I didn't know how to accept that I can't be right all the time. I didn't understand how the word accept would fit in with emotion and willpower. I thought it was just a word they used for when you get accepted at universities or jobs.

Book Talk: An Interview with Steven Manchester

February 6, 2017

A few years back I used to be an avid book reviewer for Indie Authors. I've met a few authors who are so kind and would write their books with so much energy, passion, and love. So much would be poured into their books that I would immediately feel captured.

Steven Manchester is one of my favorite Indie Authors, his books are so thoughtful, heart-warming, and real. He writes general fiction that dives deep into your soul with health struggles, family's love, and emotions. I got a chance to interview Steven for his new upcoming book, Ashes. I've always wanted to be able to ask these particular questions to an author, and I'm honored for it to be Steven.

Read on for the thoughtful musings from the mind of an author, and I encourage you to read every word. It's worth it. Trust me.

If The Wind Still Blows, So Will I

January 30, 2017

I've gone through many instances in life where a situation is challenging. My yoga routine seems too off and too quick for me to deepen my practice, the asshole on the road honks and flashes for me to go faster, and when 24 hours just isn't enough for a day. The time has come when we have to cope and keep going, even if we want the weekend to get here already.

Time and Effort in Your Daily Do's

January 16, 2017

Time management. That's one thing the actually stuck from my Managerial courses at uni. I remember writing my first essay on time management and efficiency and used Starbucks as an example since I was hella obsessed with the aura that Starbucks give out. I still am too!

And since the New Year rolled through, I've been trying to keep my breakdowns aside and coolness alive with staying organized. I've been keeping track of my events, to-do's, shopping lists, and keeping my energy up with the help of my PlannersGoogle Keep, and of course, dressing well every morning.

We all get those weeks when we're just too exhausted to even dress well and do our hair, but let me tell you, it's worth it to make an effort. Even if it's just to slap on some lipstick to make you look alive or wear a color that brings out the color of your eyes. It really boosts up your adrenaline and confidence to walk high and tall like nobodies business. You go girl! (or guy!)

A Fabulous and Badass New Year

January 9, 2017

Happy New Year!

My first week of the New Year started off smooth and with good vibes, so I'm pretty happy about that. Seriously, I woke up on January 1st feeling light and ready for what the year has to offer. Not only because I started the 31 Days of Yoga Revolution, which is so revitalizing by the way, but also because I've realized that we shouldn't sit back and see where the year takes us, but instead to do and find where the year takes us.

A little outfit description, I felt so badass in this. Denim, boots, side braid, and a red lip. Fabulous and Badass. Plus, I felt so light with just my gorgeous wallet. Can we take a moment to appreciate it's simple yet bold feel? Love!
