Advocating for Palestine is not a trend. Don’t stop talking about it, and amplifying the voices of those in Gaza. That’s literally all they ask for us.

We need to keep sharing. Keep protesting. Keep signing petitions. Keep calling our leaders. There needs to be a ceasefire NOW.



Follow the Gazans on the ground sharing whatever they can with us so we can see and share with the world!

15 days. So far:

4651 Palestinians killed in Gaza
1873 children
1023 women
187 elderly
14245 injured

Thousands more unaccounted for under the rubble. Millions have been displaced from their homes and still don’t have access to water, electricity, fuel, food or a way to escape. Hospitals are running out of supplies and are overcrowded. These are real people, with families. And dreams.

I’ve been signing petitions and calling Canadian leaders the past few days to call for a ceasefire and push for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza. I encourage anyone residing in Canada to do the same.

We need to keep amplifying Palestinian voices and praying for them.

Remember my haul from a couple posts back? ⏪️ Well I’ve been using the Niacinamide Cleansing Gelée 3% over the past month, let’s talk abourrit 😁

It has niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, and is supposed to help with clearing dark spots and uneven texture, giving you healthier looking skin. This product is supposed to work on all skin types, ie oily, combination, sensitive, dry, aging and acne prone.

I use it probably once a week, usually on weekends, which is when I do my makeup.

I use an oil cleanser first then go over with this cleansing gel. I use about two or three pumps, rub it onto slightly damp skin, where it emulsifies into a slightly foamy texture. I leave it on for about 5 minutes as a mask, and then wash it off and proceed with my nighttime skincare routine. It goes without saying that I use sunscreen the next day 😁

It leaves my skin feeling really clean, glowy and smooth, like glass skin. I also make hubby use it with me and we mask together 😁 He really likes it too.

I will say though that I have quite sensitive skin, so once I used it two days in a row and my skin developed some sensitivity and a slight red rash probably due to the summer heat as well. To remedy this, I just used the La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm as a moisturizer for a couple days until my skin went back to normal.

I’ll probably just stick to using it once a week since that seems to work for me. Perhaps slowly work up to twice a week, just not back to back.

All in all, I loved it and I’m excited to see how my skin looks with prolonged use of this product ⭐️

Loving the products I’ve gotten so far, I’d love to try more of their stuff! Any suggestions? 🤗

We wanted the little one to see some animals in real life so we visited this weekend and it was so lovely! 🦙 🦃 🐓 How cute is this alpaca? Totally loves the camera 😆

Got to see some alpacas, cute fluffy rabbits, chicken, turkey. We also checked out their farm shop which had so many lovely little things, i had to practice some serious restraint lol. I got two colourful bracelets made from alpaca wool, so cute. Yeah, we’re definitely going to be regulars here 😆🫶🏽

Happiness 💙

Motherhood is the most challenging but most rewarding and fulfilling thing I’ve done in my life 🩵

My heart feels like it’s grown a million times bigger. Sounds cliché but I never knew I could feel this kind of love. It’s different from anything else I’ve ever experienced - this innate sense of wanting to protect this little boy and give him my best every singe day. Alhamdulillah, I’m so grateful. Sometimes I just hold him and stare into his big beautiful eyes and tear up from the immense love I feel in my heart. Oh, and when he touches my face my heart melts like butter 😄🥹

I haven’t had a full nights sleep in months, but the drool filled kisses, toothless smiles and the yummiest little giggles make it all worthwhile haha!

I also love how grown I feel - my priorities have completely shifted and I know exactly where I want to direct my attention and energy to. It’s so grounding, and I love it!

May Allah protect my son, and bless him with all the very best, ameen! 🩵

PS this carrier I was gifted by has been our favourite accessory the past month or so! Any mommas out there shopping for some essentials you need to get this 🤗

We had our first snowfall two nights ago here in Abbotsford so it’s full on cosy knits, hoodies, socks and warm beverages season ☺️

I love watching the seasons change here in Canada 🍁☺️ It determines how you dress, what seasonal foods are available, and what activities you can get up to. I mean it’s literally pitch dark at 5 pm these days 😄

Today, it’s been raining all morning and I’m pretty sure it will stay like this all day ☔️🍂
It’s dark and gloomy outside, but I’m happily wondering when it’s going to snow ☺️

Felt like I was on some sitcom film set 😊

📍 White Rock, BC 🤍🍂🍁

White Rock Pier is the longest pier in Canada 🇨🇦 Folks go there for a beautiful walk, fishing or to enjoy beautiful views of the ocean. The air is quite crisp, and it can be windy so you’d better dress warm 🥶

It’s named after that white rock you can see in the background of this photo, just zoom in on the shore. There’s also a train track that goes right across, we saw the train pass by right after we parked our car 😆 Anyone else get excited when they see an old train pass by? 🚂

Went on the loveliest afternoon tea date a couple weeks ago with at 💖

Their menu mostly has snacks, desserts and little bitings so I’d recommend an afternoon tea or brunch if you’re not feeling particularly hungry 😁

Absolutely in love with their interior decor, major major inspo 💘

They’ve got a section with home decor for sale and the yummiest smelling candles, I’m definitely going to buy a few items for my home 🏠

We spent our first Eid in Canada in Toronto with family and it was so so lovely and special, Alhamdulillah 🥰 I got to meet lots of family I’d only seen in photos before, and my heart is so full from all the love! This is what Eid is all about ❣️ I hope you all enjoyed yours, and pray that Allah accepts all our Sawm and prayers, ameen 🤲🏽

I took lots of family photos on Eid day, but here are a few cool snaps of me at the waterfront and sightseeing instead 😁
Super excited to share all the photos and footage I took on this trip 🤗

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Same same skincare routine this year because it actually works 🥰 ad

These products completely cleared my skin, and to make things better the new ‘I am Spotless’ pimple patches are perfect for on-the-go spot treatment. I did a reel and a couple stories last month which you can find pinned on my ‘Skincare’ highlights to see how I use them ☝🏽 They stop you from picking your spots, and have calming and healing properties that help reduce swelling and hyperpigmentation from spots 🤗 You can buy them directly from the website , .ke and at 899/- per box of 18 pimple patches 🙌🏽

Also wanted to update y’all on the Neulii Squalene Desertica Moisture Cream I’ve been using for about a month now. Verdict? Love it! Makes my skin feel hydrated, plump and smooth - I think you’ll love this one! 💝

Brb, time to hydrate, put on a face mask and get some work in 😁🧘‍♀️🍃 💖
