Happy Mother's Day! ✨ . Being the only daughter, I've always been close to my mother, she has taught me so much...from teaching me how to ride a bicycle to finding strength in the face of adversity. She's always been my best friend, has always been there for me no matter what and I'm so grateful to have her in my life. I'll consider myself blessed if I can even be half of who she is. . May Allah (swt) grant her Shifa-e-Kamil and bless her with a long healthy life full of happiness and prosperity. I love you to the moon and back, Ammi. 💜 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #MotherDaughter #Mother #MothersDay #MothersDay2019 #Mothers_day #MuslimMothers #MuslimahBlogger #KarachiBloggers #Karachigram #Pakistan #PakistaniBlogger #MotherDaughterLove

❝When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.❞ - Somebody Verysmart 🤓 . Hydration is so important and rehydrating oneself after a whole day of fasting is even more crucial! 💦 . I know we all love laal sharbat during iftaar but having it everyday is not such a good idea because of all the sugar and artificial colour in it. 👎🏼 . Here's a super duper easy homemade lemonade recipe that is so refreshing for iftar! 🍋 Here's what you need to make it: ½ Cup Lemon juice ½ Cup or to taste Sugar 3-4 Cups Water Mint (optional) Ice cubes Method: Add mint leaves, lemon juice, sugar, and water in a blender and blend until all ingredients are well combined, add ice cubes in the end. You may also add black pepper and black salt for a desi touch! Voila! Enjoy this refreshing lemonade with the entire family! ✨ . What's your favourite drink for iftar? Let me know in the comments below! .

❝Don't wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul.❞ - Mario Quintana . 🍀🌸🌿🏵️🌿🌻🌿🌹☘️ . I simply cannot agree with this more. It's so important to nurture oneself and find happiness on one's own instead of seeking that happiness in another person. We often feel dependent on other people for our own happiness when true happiness and contentment only comes from within. ✨ . Do you agree? Also can you spot the busy bee striking a pose in the photo? 🐝 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Nature #Flowers #Believe #FlowersofInstagram #Life #LifeLessons #Quotes #MárioQuintana #Bossgirlbloggers #MarioQuintana #Bloom #LilacProse #Blooming #Karachi #Pakistan #KarachiBlogger #KarachiBloggers #PakistaniBlogger #SubhanAllah #Plants #Plant #PlantaGarden #Thrive #Flourish #Flourishing #MondayMusings #InstaGood #NaturePhotography #NatureLovers #Nature_Perfection

Ramadan Kareem, InstaFam! I'm looking forward to a productive, blessed and peaceful Ramadan! 🙌🏼 . 🌙 . How's your fast going so far? 2.5 hours left until iftar on this side of the world, how about you? ^_^ .

Ramadan is just around the corner & I'm so excited! I love Ramadan! It's like a much needed spiritual, physical, mental & emotional detox from all the negative things that accumulate over the year. 🌙 . How do you prepare for Ramadan? No...I'm not talking about preparing samosas, rasgullas, tamatars or whatever there is that's prepared (Although, I do want to know that too because...well...I'm a foodie so do pour in your #RamadanMeal prep ideas below!) . I'm mostly focusing on the real essence of this blessed month: mending our ways, letting go of bad habits & adopting good ones; clarifying our hearts & minds from all bad vibes; amping up our fitness levels; rekindling our relationships with our loved ones over sehris & iftaris (and eventually Eid) & most importantly working on our relationship with the Almighty. . I like to make a list of goals for different areas of my life, such as... . Physical: 1) Get back in the routine of waking up super early as the Prophet ﷺ prayed, “Oh Allah, give barakah to my Ummah in their early-morning work.” [Ibn Majah, Sunan]. 🌅 . 2) Saad and I've been drinking a lot of soda and we've decided to break that habit because it's horrible for health! We'll focus on a healthier diet too. . Mental: 3) Work on keeping negative thoughts out and focus on #PositiveVibesOnly. Learn to forgive + forget & let go of any negativity that has been instilled by anyone in the past year & what better time to do this than Ramadan when the source of all negativities aka Shaytan is chained? . 4) Digital detox aka avoid using screens & limit use of social media. This is going to be a toughie...😬 . Spiritual: 5) Improve my Salah, pray all 5, on time & also with khushu إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَٰه! . 6) Learn more ayat by heart with translations; think about them on a deeper level & implement them in my life. . These are my goals for #Ramadan2019 & forever! I'll work on these with all my heart In'sha'Allah & even if I'm unable to achieve them all, I'm seeking reward from Allah swt because that's how Al-Rahman Al-Rahim is...He rewards us even for trying! Are you looking forward to Ramadan just as much as I am & what are your goals for the holy month?

*Positive vibes only*...yup...that's all I want, that being said, there's something that I need to get off my chest in order to build a better connection with all of you. . I did a giveaway in collaboration with a brand a while back and due to my mother being unwell, I took a break from blogging which is why I couldn't announce the winner of the giveaway. As soon as the situation stabilised a bit, I uploaded a post to share what's happening. All the heartfelt duas from you guys really helped me to stay strong and eventually get back into blogging but there was one comment that I found really upsetting. . I had been getting DMs asking me who got the giveaway before as well but this time it really put me off because see...the times when people were asking me was when I was in the middle of a crisis that they did not know about. But here I was, after much contemplation, posting about something personal that impacted me and my family in such a big way and because of which I discontinued blogging for so long and here's this person not even bothering to say 'hi', let alone ask how I'm doing/my family but asking me about the giveaway and who won instead. . Seriously, I don't think I've ever been so disappointed since I've joined the blogosphere as I was when I experienced this. I do giveaways only to appreciate my blog family, all those who take out the time to read my posts and engage with them. If you're following me because you have 0 interest in what I have to say and are only here for the giveaways then please feel free to unfollow me. . If I wanted to gain followers I would jump at every opportunity that comes my way regardless of whether I approve of it or not or if it's harmful for my audience but would get me followers nonetheless. I blog solely for the love of it, to share things that might add value to the lives of those who read my posts & to engage with people. So future giveaways will only be for people who genuinely engage with my blog. . Lastly, to all of you who support me and my blog regularly, you have no idea how much it means to me and I feel so blessed to have such supportive, kind hearted and caring people in my blog family. Thank you so much! ✨

Happy Monday, ya'll! I went over to Ammi's today and got to admire and say "Hi" to this cutie patootie succulent and cacti plant Saad and I got for her birthday. *Feeling so proud for picking out this gift for her* teehee! 😏 She loves plants and gardening and so it was the perfect gift for her. I'm loving the idea of gifting plants now because of their numerous benefits: a) they're so pretty ✨; b) I love the idea of gifting something that keeps benefiting others and keeps growing (sadqa-e-jariya, you see 😇); c) *geek alert* 🤓 I was reading up on an article on the benefits of keeping succulents and cacti and found that they are awesome air purifiers as they keep releasing oxygen even at night time unlike most other plants; d) they also help prevent diseases; e) help you to focus and be more attentive; f) they aid in faster recovery from health issues like headache, fever, cold and flu as well; g) they are super easy to take care of; h) did I mention how pretty they are and total eye candy!? . We got this from @habitthomestore and they have a great variety of plants and pots to choose from! You can also customize them, that is, buy a pot of your choice and plant a...uh...plant (?) of your choice too! The possibilities are endless! FYI: This is NOT a sponsored post. I'm just throwing around ideas for Eid gifts since Ramadan is around the corner and now is the time to think about gifts! . Do you have any similar gift ideas for Eid? Let me know in the comments below! . Here's a link to the article I was reading in case anyone's interested: https://www.redonline.co.uk/interiors/homeware/a526209/five-health-benefits-of-having-succulents-in-your-home/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #LilacProse #MuslimahBlogger #HealThroughNature #Succulent #HealingThroughNature #Succulents #Cacti #CactiLover #CactiofInstagram #SucculentsofInstagram #EyeCandy #Naturegram #NatureEyeCandy #EidGiftIdeas #PlantsofInstagram #EidGiftIdea #Eid2019 #Ramadan2019 #Sadqa #SadqaeJariya #SucculentsLove #SucculentPlant #SucculentClub #CactiLove #CactiFlower #Cactigram #MuslimGirlArmy #MuslimGirl #Karachigram #PlantsofInsta

Absolutely love this campaign by TCF! It's one of the organizations I prefer donating to because literacy and education is a cause that is close to my heart and encourage others to donate to it as well. . Most parents encourage their children to dream big. Yet, all around us are children living in poverty, with little opportunity to dream of a better life. Every child has the right to a good education and an equal chance to pursue their dreams. . This Ramzan, give your #Zakat to educate these children and empower them to dream. Donate online at https://link.tcf.org.pk/2V1cwnC or call 0800 00 823 for cash/cheque pickup from your doorstep. . . . . . . . . . . . . #EmpowerADream #TheCitizensFoundation @tcfpak #LilacProse #Education #Literacy #Pakistan #Zakat #Sadqa

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Part 2/2 . This is baby me with my Nana. This is one of my favourite photographs because I have no memories of spending time with him and before seeing this, I was under the impression that I've never met him. This is the only photograph I've brought home with me after shaadi. If you're lucky to have your grandparents around you then do consider spending quality time with them. They are from a different time and hearing their perspective on things brings a refreshing change to our own. . Ammi always tells me how Nana used to say during hard times that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. The going is indeed tough right now for my entire family...probably the toughest I've ever faced in my life but we're all staying strong and will come out of this situation stronger In'sha'Allah. If you are someone who's going through a tough time, do remember that times change, things don't always remain the same and that you're not alone. Look back at your past and think of a tough situation that you not only came out of but came out of it stronger. That's how I keep myself going. . There's something so comforting about old photos, it's like a fleeting moment of joy captured for eternity. The second photo with Ammi is another favourite. Being the only daughter, I've always been very close to my mother, she has taught me so much...from teaching me how to ride a bicycle to finding strength in the face of adversity. She's always been my best friend, has always been there for me no matter what and I'm so grateful to have her in my life. I'll consider myself blessed if I can even be half of who she is. . Since April is Ammi's birth month, I'll say a little prayer for her...may Allah (swt) grant her Shifa-e-Kamil and bless her always with a long healthy life full of happiness and prosperity. I love you to the moon and back, Ammi. . رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا Rabbir hamhuma kama Rabbayani Sagheera My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small. - Surah bani Isra’il; 17:24 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Family #Faith #Positivity #ToughTimes #Gratitude #WhentheGoingGetsTough
