To My Daughter

These words are for you

As long as I can remember I’ve wanted to meet you
I don’t ever want you to think you’re not meant to be
Because this was planned by the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Wondering who you’ll become
Thinking about our time together
Hoping I can live up to your expectations
Wishing we’ll never fight –
Knowing fully that there will be days
were I’m not going to be your favourite

I pray you’ll never feel restrained by our religion
And grow up to love Islam & Allah
Knowing what our goal is
Because I want to meet you again in Paradise

I hope I can be the one you look up to –
The one you can turn to
I’m going to try my best
but so scared I’ll disappoint you,
that I’ll disappoint myself
Scared of the world you’ll grow up in
Knowing I won’t be able to protect you

Inspirational colorful garden

I’m sitting here on one of my four kitchen chairs looking out into the horizon. Even though my view is mostly green trees, you can see deep into the woods. And in the morning it’s especially beautiful with the sun rising from the vest.

I’m enjoying a bowl of fresh bought strawberries and a silence that only comes at night. The little one is in bed and I can finally breath out and relax a little bit more. Today was spent eventfully buying new flowers for our beautiful home built terrace. I’m no gardner since my last flowers died, all expect four. So this is my promise to take excellent care of the new once, I have to! I’m not born with green fingers but there’s always time to learn. And as soon as the terrace is done with all the decor I want it to have I’ll be the first one to show it to you. I cannot wait. Only bits and bobs left now.

On another note my creativity is sparkling like firework. I get the best ideas in the most random places, like the toilet, and I cannot wait to film ever more for you. If you don’t know already I have a YouTube channel where I try to upload once a week. I’ll also be doing more outfit posts as soon as I get the house to myself again which should be next week. I’m so excited!

20th of February

I know it’s been two days since I’ve posted something, and that is just not ok. I could say that I’ve been busy with work which is true, but that doesn’t mean I can neglect you guys! I love to write and share, inspire and post, and I can only learn from this.

It’s Saturday and finally a day off for me. I don’t have anything special on the agenda today other then the usual cleaning that I try to do whenever I have a day off.

I actually get things done better when I see them written down and it makes me more motivated. I will check in with you later again today. I hope you have a great day!

Good Morning

I woke myself up at 8 o’clock today after not going to bed before 1 am yesterday. Guess I have a timer inside of me because I always seem to wake up at the same time. I just made some porridge and starting to write my todo list in my head. I can’t remember the last time I woke up and had nothing to do. But it feels great to get the day started early and having lots of time to do what needs to be done.

Maybe I’ll find myself to the shopping center as well. I’m really starting to feel the need to buy something new. We shall see. Now I’m off making my way down the list, starting with you! Stay tuned for a recipe coming soon.

To do

I always feel some sort of guilt when I spend Sunday on the couch doing nothing, like absolutely nothing. It’s hard to shut off your brain and allow yourself one day, just one freaking day to yourself.

I have a list of things I should do if I would find the motivation but there is none. The list goes on from blogpost to video making and cleaning the apartment. But you know what, I only get one of these days once in a while. I’ve worked 5 days, my shoulder is in pain after this weeks customers so I think I need to allow myself a break. My list can wait and even though I havn’t stept a foot outside, I’m content on my couch. I’m going to stop feeling sad and sorry for myself because it’s not getting me anywhere. I’m going enjoy today till tomorrow comes and a new work week is on.

Guest post

Hello everyone out there!

This is a guest post from a good friend of the owner of this blog.
I’m just going to write a few things about Elizabeth from her best friends view.

1.Elizabeth is very kind and good. She listens to problems and keeps secrets. She is one of the few people I always can trust.
2.Elisabeth is also very good at everything she wants to be good at: School, fashion, hair, make up, economy, health, fitness.. and so much more.
3.Elizabeth is also a smart girl who is able to reflect and think. She doesn’t judge and have many different (strange, funny and good) friends.

There are so many things about Elizabeth that are admirable & she’s one of the people I look up too.

I love my girl so much and I don’t know what I would do without her.
