🔅Day 12/30: Grateful for the sun that shines🔅 . When i mentioned on my story this week that I absolutely love the sunlight, some of you asked if I'd like standing under the sun for long.🙄 Noone in their sane mind would. Unless you're an alien who feeds on #sunlight (jadoo!? #bollywood reference)👽 . I meant the sunlight. Not the #heat. That too in moderation ofcourse. I am the rare kind that would prefer garmi over sardi. Really. (Spevially since i moved to Dubai where there are no fans and just AC) So the first thing I do in the morning is have my #coffee and open up the curtains and windows.☕ . Cold makes me stiff, tucked into my blanket, gloomy and everything that works against my #productivity. The only time I like it is on a #vacation. Even then I miss wearing breezy clothes rather than 12 layers of clothes.☃️ . Anyway that's the reason I once set up my mini #balcony here in Dubai where most people don't. I added a sitting bench, storage benches and this work table for myself. I often used it for #painting and for even #writing short blogs. Here's a glimpse in my second photo.➡️ Includes all my favorite things mentioned/placed on it: Coffee, wooden furniture, lots of yellow, paints, DIY and plant.🏡 . Are you a #summer person or a #winter person?🤷🏻‍♀️ . . P.s. thank God it's May and the heat is still bearable in here. Also can't wait to lie under a pankha in #Pakistan whenever i go next.♨️ P.s. 2: I made this quick coffee art. Its a galaxy in a mug.🎨 . . . . . . . . #instablog #homedecor #lifestyleblogger #lifestyle #expatfamily #expatliving #dubaibloggers #uaebloggers #mommybloggers #homesweethome #fashion #parenting #pakistanibloggers #desibloggers #weather

🔅Day 11/30: Grateful for health🔅 . I barely ever find #graffiti walls myself. Graffiti walls just find me. #MotherOfColors 🎨 . Had to #edit the 💩 out of this #picture to make myself clearly visible here. Otherwise I just #camouflaged into it. Funnily also wearing the army green that is part of the uniform to help them camouflage into most backgrounds lol. [Fun fact: both the shirt and pants from @maxfashionmena for Aed 25 and 45 respectively - favorite sasta and tikaau #brand]✔ . Wasn't expecting myself to be able to do the #gratefulJournal post today because the day started on a sick note where Yaldurum woke up with a fever. Mentioned it to my friends to seek some advice and it turned out most kids are a victim to this painful bug/viral whatever these days. Why Dubai? Why? Anyway. It's slightly under control with meds Alhumdulillah, bas prolong na ho.🤞 . Makes me realise the important of days we aren't sick. But also my heart goes anyone dealing with chronic diseases, life threatening diseases, kids with repetitive illnesses etc. ❤ These are the people I try to always include in my #prayers. . Also anyone here ever got flu shots or takes vitamin C or something that helps combat these recurring flu/fever virals? . . 📸 @dubaifestivalcitymall near @nandosuae there. . . . . . #instaart #wallart #wallsofdubai #artblog #artbloggers #lifestylebloggers #lifestyledubai #expatlife #mommyblogger #parentingblog #colorful #pakistanibloggers #fashionmena #l4l #snapseed

🔅Day 10/30: Grateful for contentment🔅 . I have opted for myself a fairly #minimalistic #lifestyle (if i may say so myself) and don't quite believe in hoarding anything. To get something new, I always try and make space by getting rid of something old. . I think my inner soul is very #Japanese. I love so many things about their #culture. Currently also reading a book to understand their concept of #Ikigai (secret to happiness and longetivity). So when the #konMari method of minimizing things at home got famous after @netflixfilm launched the "Marie kondo Show" , I got on to analysing my own #space.🏠 A few successful days into implementing it at #home, I realised all I could learn from the method were #Organising hacks rather than also the #Decluttering hack because honestly neither do I hoards, nor do I have any extra space for it. [Thanks to most of Dubai's appartment sizes)🏢 . It's like I can #afford more but I won't. Perhaps having seen a lot (Dubai being a shopping paradise), I've come to value 'less' as more. #Luxury for me now is a strong cup of #coffee, deep conversations, and a tidy, clean, well scented home filled with giggles and smiles. 👪 . The only 2 #material things though I can never have enough of, 2 things that bring me happiness: #Candles and #plants.🌱 . Got 4 of these @bathandbodyworks 3 wick candles worth Aed 100 for Aed 35 from the sale pre-ramadan! (Some of you asked to see which ones I bought). ALL of these are light, musky #scents and not ridiculously sweet.🕯 . But 3 of these are for my families back home, just 1for me. Which means I still have the need/want/space for more candles in case someone ever wants to gift me 1.🙃 . . . . . . . . . . #instablog #creativeblog #lifestylebloggers #homedecor #books #homesweethome #minimalism #bloggersofdubai #dubailifestyle #expatlife #shopping #bloggersofpakistan

🔅Day 9/30: Grateful for reading🔅 . "The more you read, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more places you'll go"✈🚀 . I haven't been able to #travel as much as I want to (yet), but I've been able to #read and that's even better. Because that way I've also travelled to Hogwards. (Any potterheads here?)⚡ . The picture of this #publication from @wkndmag by @khaleejtimes came up in my memories from last year so I thought I'll share my tiny #magazine feature with you guys. Got interviewed very randomly by the WKND mag team last year for their #segment called "Hooked on the books" where I was asked to talk about my few favorite #books, books I'd recommend to my kids, and book qoutes.📚 . If someone cares to read, I've plugged the close up on my blog/website, the link to which is in my bio. 👆🏻 . . . . . . #instablog #instabook #bookstagram #bookword #readers #instagood #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #igerspakistan #bloggersofdubai #dubaibloggers #expatlife #bloggersofuae #expatlife #ramadankareem #ramadanmubarak #gratefuljournal #mommybloggers #writing #creativity

🔅Day 7/30: Grateful for motherhood🔅 . They say "When a child is born, a mother is born too". And I don't know what sums up my life better than that.👩‍👦 . But I'd like to give a #special mention to these people on this day and let them know we all care, we notice, we appreciate: 💛Moms of specially-abled/challenged children. 🧡Moms who have lost a child. 💛Moms who have adopted. 🧡The single parents.💪🏻 💛The step-mothers who love the kids like their own. 🧡Foster mothers. 💛Those yearning to be mothers.🤲🏻 🧡Moms who happily embrace their scars, dark circles and stretch marks. 💛Moms who let go off their fears of injections, medicines and unimaginable pain to give birth. 🧡Moms who've compromised their career, social life or put their plans to a halt. 💛Working moms that deal with guilt. 🧡Expecting mom who loves her kid from the first heartbeat without even seeing him. . And most importantly: 🧡Those who have lost their moms. . #HappyMothersDay to all you beautiful souls.💐 let's appreciate ourselves. Which one are you? . . . 📸 @ Yaldurum turned 1 month old. . . . . #parenting #motherhood #loveofamom #mommybloggers #parentingblog #instablog #blessed #grateful #gratitude #ramadankareem #instaart #bloggersofuae #bloggersofdubai #mydubai #igerspakistan #expatlife #lifestylebloggers #lifelessons

🔅Day 6/30: Grateful for friends🔅 For a person who stayed in the same school from grade 1 to A levels, I always wondered how people who keep changing schools made new friends. but I always made sure that I was the one to be available for girls who had just moved in from a new city, country or just a new school. Basically bas hero bannay ka shauk.😎 . Then at the age of 25 when you aren't quite as #adaptive as a kid,I moved to a new country myself. Because I was newly married, I was initially not looking for #friends (at least not desperately because a brand new husband to share my life with itself is a changed big enough). But despite having friends from #Pakistan who stayed in touch through messages, I began to feel the #void and need to have friends I can meet and discuss my new #city, #home, new husband and #lifestyle issues with. 👐🏻 . 4.5 years later I now have a circle that I can say is 'more' than big enough. Maybe even requires some trimming lol.😅 But I am glad to have found my way to are social circle abroad when most girls really struggle with that. While its also #lucky for me to have it so, I am glad I also worked my way up for it. 🙆🏻‍♀️ . Here's what worked for me: ⭐ Get in touch with other girls you know from your country who are also living in the same city as you now. Don't be awkward, it's pretty much a norm abroad. ⭐Go to their parties if invited even if you know noone there. That's how you happen to meet new people. ⭐Find facebook community pages for your country/city/area. You'll find more people like yourself there looking for friends. Go to meet ups. Nothing desperate. They're fun. If you meet 10 people, you'll definitely click with 2 at least. ⭐Go take a walk in the park in your area. #Smile. (But don't be #creepy)😶 ⭐Be open to friends from different countries and religion. Though i know same country people click better. ⭐ Bas then give it time. Desperate na hon. People who like you back WILL stay in touch. . The key is really to get out of your #comfort zone. 🗝 . Heres a pic of what not to befriend: ❌magarmach: jiske khanay ke daant alag aur dikhanay k alag.🐊 ❌Asteen ka saanp. (Swipe left)🐍 . . . . #expatlife
