kyriasabah: July 2019

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

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

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 :)
