  • An Up and a Down in My Freelancing Journey

    Things are not always straight forward in life. My new career choice is one of them. Freelancing has highs and lows. This week I have lost some regular work from a trusted client. It’s got me hustling and pitching like crazy again. I was kinda down because I was relying on the extra cash to…

  • Gratitude Is Everything!

    Sometimes it’s easy to see what’s missing, what others have, what you need to live a dream life. Realisation that this life isn’t meant to be perfect helps so much! Stop and smell the roses, splash in a paddling pool and give your time to those you love. Be grateful for every breath you take,…

    A Recipe: I made Jordanian Mansaf 😋!

    Many moons ago when I first got married, my husband took me on a trip to a foreign land. It was the first time I’d been anywhere apart from Pakistan or Saudi Arabia (I was very lucky to have made my first umrah trip just a year before) and I was really excited. I didn’t…

  • A Recipe: Meatballs In Rice

    A Recipe: Meatballs In Rice

    This is a wonderful special-occasion recipe that never ceases to amaze guests. The only reason I am now comfortable with it is that, following my mum’s example, I tend to make a big rice dinner at least once every week and now, after a little practice, it’s a variation of rice we enjoy regularly aH.…

  • A Recipe – Afghani Pilau

    On Tuesday I threw caution to the wind and cooked a big meal as it was our anniversary. I usually make big meals on the weekend as I find it’s more relaxing when I have more time. But as it was a special occasion I decided to give it a go. Fifteen years has gone…

    Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s OK. It’s not their journey. It’s yours. Embrace your Freedom.

    My DoTerra Story- Sharing is Caring :-)

    This is my story and not a promotion. DoTerra Essential Oils came into my life one sunny day in Wales when I had a headache. Funnily (and also quite sadly) I’d get this recurrent headache every time I travelled to Wales. Since Wales has become my no-aeroplane favourite holiday destination over the past few years,…

  • Coming Of Age

    Coming Of Age

    So we decided to have a get together (definitely not calling it a partaaaay in front of the boys!). It was for my daughter and her cousins- we thought it was about time we celebrated that they were growing up. We based a lot of the discussions around the book featured in the picture above…
