Well, hello over there! Apologies for my absence from the blog lately. It's
been a hot minute and I just wanted to chit-chat about what's going on in my
life these days. It's kind of like a life update because I notice it's been
ages since we had a run-down about what's been going on in life like I used to
do with my
Five Things
series. I used to overshare a little bit of my
personal life but then life happened and things got busy and things like
personal updates got left behind.
I know I don't need to do this but hey! I'm here now and I want to bring back
these kinds of posts because it's genuinely fun. Hopefully, I won't bore you
too much though. But if you're curious, here's a little bit of where I am
now ♡
01.
Some of you may know that in addition to blogging and content writing, I have
a
side hustle
that I run with my little sister. I work 24 hrs (jk not really) in a day and
my job scope consists of filming content, bookkeeping, product planning, lots
of photography, packing orders, networking and social media, customer service,
market research and honestly, I could go on but you get the picture.
I learned a lot about running my own business. My days are never the same,
they are filled with lots of logic, emotions and a sprinkle of magic. Lately,
we have been blessed with new orders popping in and our own community that is
so supportive and welcoming. And we hit 15.5K on Instagram today ahh it's so
surreal! I don't even know where all of these cute people come from. It's been
an amazing experience and I'm so glad I stepped way out of my comfort zone and
left my 9-5 job to tackle this job. I've grown personally in more ways than I
can ever explain.

These days, I'm much more inclined to be a homebody. I'm not saying I don't go
out at all, I do but it's mainly me running a bunch of errands with my
partner, Adan, and going to our favorite places on earth. Not really sure if
this has something to do with all the lockdowns but going to lots of events
isn't something I feel passionate about anymore.
I noticed that I'm also more mellow, more content to work at home and felt
more chilled out about not going out as much. I would rather conserve my
energy for something else that I can truly do my best work on and prioritize
my mental health and well-being. Never knew that working from home changed me
for the better! I know this is not everyone's cup of tea but I've been loving
sipping THIS cup of tea <3
03.
What's going on on the blog front these days? It's honestly been tough to keep
up lately! I'm trying my best to post at least once a week during this busy
time and will try my best to keep that up through the next crazy few months.
Also, I can't really continue my Five Things series, simply because I'm not
feeling it as much anymore. I may consider bringing it back again but for now,
it's on hold. Also also, I'm thinking of getting a new template for my
blog
but I'm seriously contemplating it. I love my current template but I just
wanted a change. Let me know if I should take the plunge!

I'm in my third year of low-buy! I totally crushed my first year in 2021, you
can read the whole thing in
this post. I didn't document any for my second year though, don't know why I did that
but what I can tell you is that it was also a success. I didn't have big
purchases along with impulses so that's always a good thing. Of course, I'm
gonna continue good habits with spending and saving. That's what the whole of
intentional living is about!
So that's about it, in a nutshell. Thank you so much for reading this life
update. My next post will *hopefully* be something about Eid because it's
obviously the Eid celebration season, so that's that. It felt so good to
connect with you guys and that I let you know about what has been happening.
Have a great weekend, my loves ♡
