Reclaim Your Heart

Hello,

I got Yasmin Mogahed's Reclaim Your Heart book (yay - been wanting to get it for a while!) and found this paragraph pretty inspirational.

"There's something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief: Nothing here lasts. What does that mean? It means that the breathtakingly beautiful rose in my vase will wither tomorrow. It means that my youth will neglect me. But it also means that the sadness I feel today will change tomorrow. My pain will die. My laughter won't last forever - but neither will my tears. We say this life isn't perfect. And it isn't. It isn't perfectly good. But, it also isn't perfectly bad, either."

Tip of the day: Pick out something positive in your day.

Grief and Loss

Hello all,

Last week my little sister's hamster passed away and it's safe to say that it led to quite a few tears. However, it got me thinking...do we take things for granted? To lots of people that don't have pets, it's weird to imagine why someone would cry over an animal. Don't they get attacked in the wild? Aren't there lots of bigger problems in the world? And the answer is 'yes'.

I want to bring awareness to the fact that no matter what, we all have something or someone that we may be taking for granted. With thousands of children dying on a daily basis, many families struggling and lots of people homeless; we should pause a minute and be thankful for what we have got. I think many people - including myself - forget how quickly something can be taken away. Nothing is 100% promised.

Sorry if this seems a bit negative, but let's look at it in a positive light - share the love to all things and people around you.

Take care,

Hana :) x

My Ramadan Tips

Happy Wednesday :)

I filmed a Ramadan special the other day where I suggested some things to alter in your everyday life in order to hopefully benefit you!

As a reminder, this is a reminder to myself first and foremost.

If you don't have the time to watch the 5 minute video, then I'll quickly bullet point some of the points that I mentioned:

• Smile and give more 'Salam'.
• Wear less make-up (therefore, focusing on your inner self).
• Cook for your family.
• Read Quran.
• Teach a sibling, friend, etc., something valuable, i.e. Quran.
• Gift someone something meaningful, such as a prayer mat.

Have a happy Ramadan!

Mini Haul ♥

Hiya everyone. So here's a few things I got in town today.
Primark: The patterned trousers (£9) and the polka dotted mirror (£1).
Boots: I don't know the prices of them exactly as they were on offer, with the nail varnish and lip balm as a free gift! I'm not a beauty guru AT ALL...and quite frankly know very little about make up. However, I like these products, so here are the names of them:
♥ No7 lipstick (Moisture Drench - shade DIVINE - SPF 15)
♥ No7 nail varnish (Stay Perfect - shade DUCK EGG BLUE)
♥ No7 BB Lips (Beauty Balm - shade BLINK PINK - SPF 15)
♥ No7 Lip Stain + Gloss (Stay Perfect)

Hope you enjoyed this, despite it being quite different. I would suggest checking out Boots's offers at the moment!

I hope to write a more beneficial post soon, however I'm dealing with certain personal issues right now and don't feel comfortable with discussing it quite yet. Hope your weekend is going well.

Take Care xo

Take care,

P.S. I've been busy packing this week, and the upcoming weeks I'll be busy settling in. But after then I hope to upload more often.

Welcome To My Blog ♥

Hiya you lovely earthling ♥
And welcome to my blog! My name is Hana and I hope to help our society one day.
I've made this blog as a hobby mainly, but also in order to hopefully create a cute little community. I really hope to be able to help others, whether that be through advice or by simply allowing people to enjoy my random little blog posts. I am in no way a professional at anything, however if you need any suggestions, advice or someone to talk to, I am willing to be there at all times ♥
I plan on making several changes in the next year and would like to document the process. So please do feel free to come along :) Some of these things include a YouTube channel and recovery from anorexia nervosa, depression and OCD (both of which I will expand upon in other blog posts).
'Til then,
TTFN :) x
P.S. If you read this, you've already earned a cyber-hug from me.
Hana ♥
