One more week till the end of February and I'm checking my list for any progress I made this month. It's still going alright and I will continue to do my best. In order to do so, I've gathered my Good Vibes Only list. The Good Life Podcast I look forward to the podcasts hosted by Mizi Wahid and Nur Adam. They share uplifting stories and some days they invite individuals such as Mizz Nina, Lisa Surihani and Aida Azlin. I enjoy listening to them during my commute. Dance Videos Here's a fun fact! I used to dance and performed with my friends in secondary school back then. I remember having abs like Beyonce! Gosh, what happened now? Looking at...
Many of you have already heard my void deck birth story via IGTV and I'm so glad you either found it hilarious or inspiring. I'm sure some also freaked out because it seems impossible that anyone could labour outside of the hospital right? Well we have been programmed to think that the ONLY place safe for a woman to give birth is the hospital which I feel is very debatable. We have also been brain washed by movies and society that we'd scream at the top of our lungs when pushing the baby out and that we need all the drugs and painkillers to go through this ordeal. Again - debatable. Worse is some of us believe we can’t even...
It's my first blog for the year, mid January and I am feeling slightly overwhelmed. Our body absorbs energy around us. Just like when we are stuck in a noisy and crowded place, the last thing on our mind is to escape to somewhere quiet. This year I would like to conserve my energy by practising mindfulness. Photo credit: Spiritual Creative I also feel the need to be mindful of how I spend my time;pockets of time during commute, quality dates with my loved ones,designing prints and creating art. What about the me time? See, how can I give my best focus to do my tasks and still being able to exercise and getting enough sleep. We will never have enough...
Since 2017, I’ve been visualising my resolution through words and penning them down as a point of reference.In my first year practising this concept, the word I wrote was BREATHE. When I had that word in mind, I wanted it to remind myself to stay calm and Zen when Im going through something tough. And true enough, I breathed through the year coz I got hit with a very challenging pregnancy. Mommies out there, you would know how important it is to breathe out the pain we go through during pregnancy and labour and that kept me going for 9 months plus. In 2018, the word I chose was FOCUS. I wanted to focus on 2 things, my newborn as...
Hey, I hope all of you had a great time well spent during this festive break mid week and the upcoming new years holiday. Last Saturday was a very special day as I got engaged. It was double happiness to know that Selb gave birth to her second child a day before my engagement; like how our birthdays are also a day apart. Pior to preparing for the event I was quite anxious, cleaning up the house especially my room which was full of art materials. I am ever so grateful to my family; most importantly my sister who made my room fancy. Look at the room set up by her! The glam squad; my cousin Rianna who also did...
