H e l l o   K Y F A M  !
You can’t disagree with me here…There is nothing I enjoy more than a long and cozy morning routine, to set my day off on the right foot.
For mornings to be productive, peaceful and enjoyable, there are a few things we need to stop doing as soon as you wake up.

1. YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE

The most popular life hack gets to go first. If you haven’t heard that snoozing is bad for you – where have you been?
In all seriousness and first things first, STOP hitting that snooze button every morning.
As much as we enjoy that extra ten minutes of sleep, it is actually just making our body and mind more tired.
Get up the moment your alarm rings and don’t look back.  
2. CHECK WORK EMAIL/Social media.
No one needs your attention at 6 in the morning, especially your work.
There is absolutely no reason why you should dive into work before you’ve even had your meal.
Check your work email when your workday starts and not a minute sooner.
If you are anticipating an important mail, hold in till when you start for work. I too struggle with this – but my mood and focus is so much better if I stay away from my inbox in the morning. 
Coming to social media it is a swamp that will lag your schedule. You get scrolling and don’t realise that you have been there for 20-30 minutes.
3 . N O T  M A K I N G  Y O U R  B E D
Leaving a messy bed and coming home to an unpleasant room is not the best mood lifter. Making your bed in the morning is a small win and a great way to start our day right.

4. NOT EATING A HEALTHY BREAKFAST

Make sure your breakfast includes good protein, fiber, and fat.
Breakfasts like flavored yogurts, cereals, croissants, and other sugary breakfast options will just make you crash an hour later which is no good.
A nutritious and filling breakfast will help balance your blood sugar levels and make you feel fuller for longer.
If you’re one of those people who never eat breakfast and can make it until lunch – I challenge you to try filling your body up with nourishing foods to see if you feel more balanced and satisfied during the day. 
5. HAVING YOUR COFFEE FIRST THING

Instead of grabbing your coffee first thing, try drinking at least 2 glasses of water to replenish your sleepy body.

6. NOT WASHING YOUR FACE

I don’t know how people can start their day without washing their face.
This is the first thing I do in the morning – I splash my face with as cold water as possible. 
The cold water will jhuzh your system and help wake you up.
Plus, it feels totally refreshing.  
7. NOT LETTING THE SUN/AIr IN

You need daylight, girl.
Getting ready for the day in the dark is not a good idea.
We need that sunshine and daylight to kick our circadian clock into gear.
Fresh air will do you good. Always. 
If you don’t have time to go for a quick walk, open your window to let the fresh air in or sit on your balcony and enjoy your morning coffee.
8. making DECISIONS. 
Decisions are to be made the night before.
When you wake up you will most likely feel groggy and foggy (sounds like dwarfs’ names) and it’s best if you don’t have to decide our outfit and other things early up in the day. So decide everything and be ready. This way you are waking up relaxed and not stressed out already.
"EVERY MORNING YOU GET TO CHOOSE – HOW YOUR DAY, WEEK, MONTH AND LIFE WILL BE SHAPED. AND THAT’S AN EXTRAORDINARY POWER WE ALL HAVE."

Until next time

Hi There!
How are you doing? Well I am in a chirpy mode as I received my Jollychic order this weekend BONUS I shopped at Miniso as well. Woop Woop.
For Kuwait residents Jollychic is an online shopping app with great stuff. So, I placed an order with home décor and random home stuff. Let’s get into the haul now
      1.      Toothpaste dispenser: I mean I’ll not even try to explain what this is :P Have a look. 




 Price: 1.66 KWD
Installation: EASY
Usefulness: 5/5

2. Digital alarm clock: Got this one purely for the message board. CUTE.


 Price: 2.26 KWD
Installation: EASY
Usefulness: 3 (Regular white board maker is tough to erase on the message board)

3. Adjustable bed sheet clips: There is nothing more annoying than ill fitted sheets to me. I hate it when sheets keep shifting and form creases. These clips are so useful in this case. They hold and secure your fitted sheet/bed sheet.



Price: 1.88 KWD (4 pcs) 
Installation: You’ll need help to install.
Usefulness: 5/5     

4. Bed linen set: Got this one for EID was quite skeptical about the size and all. But the bed sheet was exact to size. However, the duvet cover is smaller than regular size.




Price : 6.500 KWD 
Value for money: Unhappy with the duvet cover size. But love the print and cloth!

5. Jewellery Box: I use to string in all my rings in a ribbon to keep them in place. However, this way I had to pull out all the rings in order to get one. Too much work! This product is a gem for storing and all my accessories are now laid out and easy to manage.



          

 Price: 1.5 KWD     
 Usefulness: 5/5



Jollychic is a great place to shop from. While at it definitely check the reviews before placing the order. You should expect a 9-14 days’ time to receive your order. 

MINISO HAUL 

6. Sticky Notes: I needed these for my office, Also look how cute!!! Got a bunch of stuff to use at work. Keep scrolling for more.




                                                           Price: 0.400 KWD each

7. Notebook: A set of three handy sized notebooks. I love to always have one by my side while working.



Price : 0.750 KWD

8. Weekly planner: Got this for my husband to keep at his work desk.



Price: 0.400 KWD

9. Water Bottle : To keep myself hydrated while at work. Picked this one because of the grip at the bottom. 



Price: 1.250 KWD.


Until next time

Hey Blog!!!!

It’s been so long that I’ve sat down to write a blog. I’ve been making a lot of IGTV videos meanwhile ‘click here’ to view a few.

Coming to today’s post I thought it would be apt to give you guys a life update and get you all caught up with what’s happening.

Yalla !!!

I’ve started going to work recently so here is what my daily routine looks like:
  •           Work from 7:30-3:30
  •           Commute to and fro from work (about 2 hours total, sometimes less)
  •           Prep for lunch and dinner once I reach home.
  •           Home chores: dishes, laundry, cleaning etc
  •           Planning my feed and uploading.
With all this happening the first few days I got drained by the end of the day. That's when I decided to plan my day in a more efficient way to get some relaxation time as well. Here is what I came up with.


      1.      Fill two needs with one deed: Optimize your time with combining certain tasks. This doesn’t necessarily mean multi-tasking because that may be counterproductive. If there are a couple of things that can be done simultaneously without problem, do them together!

            Example:

a.       During my commute I either listen to podcasts (personal development) or    talk to my mom/mother in law (relationships).
b.      While I fold laundry (day to day tasks) I’ll watch youtube videos   (recreation).
c.      While having lunch at office I listen to the holy Quran (religious).

Combining things has made things easier and more enjoyable for me.

      2.     Make commitments: If you aren’t at par with self-discipline it usually works if  you make commitments, this way you have a strict deadline and get things done.

      3.     Routine: Don’t do chores as per your mood, whereas assign a day to it.

      Example: Laundry every Friday, writing a blog every Thursday etc. This way I don’t allow myself to work on anything except those tasks for the day.This has worked so well for me and made me more productive and consistent.

      4.     If it takes less than FIVE minutes do it: This simple rule is a life changer. If  I notice I am procrastinating on something I think to myself “that will take a couple of minutes” and then I do it.

         Example:

a.      Washing the dishes right after using them.
b.     Taking the trash out.
c.      Making the bed.
d.     Putting away clothes after taking them off.
e.      Deciding my clothes for the nest work day.
f.       Tidy my room.

These tasks may seem so minuscule yet living by this rule really saves up time, makes you feel productive and confident plus things are always clean. It’s a WIN WIN.
That’s all for this blog guys, hope it was a good read.  I’ll try and post here more often.

Until next time


Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :)

Hey Hey !

It feels like a decade since I’ve put up a blogpost. All this while I’ve been uploading super fun IGTV videos check them out here.

So for the past few months I’ve tried to eliminate black from my life and adopt a new neutral/basic shade for my outfits.  It’s more heat -friendly than black to start with.

Grey

Grey matches with most colors-be it another neutral like navy or a fashion savvy bright color. It doesn’t stand out as much as black hence giving you a softer and more elegant look. Here are a few pictures when I paired grey with my favourite outfits.

Pastel Affair

You guys know I love pastel shades. And what does them more justice than this muted grey that seals the deal perfectly. Pair it with a matching hijab/purse to complete the look.






Pop of GREY

If I would wear a black pant with this outfit. It would look fine but, look how much more alive does the grey make it look !!



Didn't click good photos this day. Hence the mirror selfies.



Minty.

Loved this minty cold shoulder number. I was so perplexed on how to pair it, and grey just saved the day here.






Monochrome


With such a happening print like gingham a paled out grey balances the look flawlessly.






 When in doubt .


I dread wearing white hijabs and try to avoid them as much as I can . This grey hijab from @faysh_hijab is the perfect fix.





Until next time


Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :)
