🐣💕🌿 // Birds of a feather.

The weather change made me feel a bit emo today so have to commemorate because memories and why not.

I’m not crying, you are. 🥺

Alhamdulillah for family, and Alhamdulillah for friends like family.

Also, partially blaming the Reno and being slightly homeless until works finish for not being able to have Safiyyah meet the rest of her uncles and aunties from both the sides!

Everybody please make collective dua that everything gets finished soon and we get to enjoy, appreciate and be grateful for this phase of life properly. InshaAllah.

Ya Rabb, grant us the duas that are on the tip of our tongues, that repeat in our hearts, the ones which we raise our hands for day and night and grant us closeness to you and your Deen, and a sense of peace and gratitude in every aspect of our lives. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal!

Here’s an August 🎠

Haven’t done these in a while so thought august highlights needed a permanent place in the grid.

Finally going to Kew Gardens with Mohammed, the great Welsh Road trip and the moment where duas got answered right in-front of our eyes, kids when Allah says be Grateful and Allah will increase you… 😮‍💨💛 #Sunset

Painting, finally bouldering after what seems like years, the Irish Tour, karaoke-ing to our hearts content with views for days and weather that stunned us all.

Tennis, London, Leeds (first time!), Yayoi Kusama, Chappli Kabab, Kyoto cuddles and a reset.

Lord knows how much the soul needed the good bits, the lows, we’re still working through, but we move. InshaAllah 💪🏽

The usual awein august turned out to be a decent one in a while. Alhamdulillah.

Share your august highlight if you fancy? 🤓

🍂 Hello Autumn.
🍁 Be kind.

Also, please say *Allahumma Baarik*
kyunkay aajkal nazar bohat hi araam say lagg jaati hai. 🥲

Alhamdulillah x infinity

August is always a weird one. 📆

It can be hot one minute, freezing the next.
Heightened emotions no matter how much you try to run away from them (partition and Independence Day, yes I’m looking at you). Probably still have PTSD from O/A level result weeks, and tis the season where mango, let me correct it, Pakistani mango officially says bye, at least in pardes.

All in all. This august was a little different.
Mostly because it was JAM PACKED.

Of road trips, spending wholesome time with friends, visiting exhibitions and getting to Know Yourself, mostly good food (when cooking didn’t go lopsided), a little bit of sand, a little bit of sea, and a while lot of mountains and cool breeze.
With a sprinkle of a meltdown, or 20 ☺️
But that doesn’t make it to the gram.
#KeepingitReal.

And was a much needed reset.
Physical and somewhat emotional.

Even though I never thought I’d say this, and it’ll probably age ugly, I’m here for autumn and cosy/comfy indoor vibes, mostly because I can’t wait for Kyoto (@kyotothekittycat) to come snuggle and steal our heat! 😈

Anybody else excited for autumn? 🍁🍂

Alhamdulillah for a month that tested.
May we have the grace to walk through the lows with strengthened imaan and elegance through the highs.
Ameen!

Think of it like this… 👣

For someone who lives predominantly out of fear, fear of losing things I love, fear of things going wrong, always planning a step ahead if it does, you know, the typical overthinker, comes with the territory. 😮‍💨

But there comes a point where you’re not the one making decisions, your fear is…

And I remember learning about that, and really having it hit deep. Because is that really the life we want to live and the legacy we want to leave behind? 🥲

Nowhere near where I want to be yet, but it gives me comfort knowing I’m trying to remind myself to take steps to create a life where joy dictates my life. InshaAllah.

If it resonates, here’s a big virtual hug. 🫂
Because we all know we need it.

💾 Save and share for peeps who think alike.

Leaving with a question:
What brings you joy?

I’ll start,
being in nature, surrounded by loved ones, looking at skies, sitting on rocks and appreciating trees! 🌳🌴🌲

July, in video 🎞️ //

I know we’re into august, but in true sanna fashion and slow living, we still catching up, because it’s normal, and because it’s real. ✌🏽

I remember doing week dumps baaaaaaack in the day when I had a lot more time for Instagram and shenanigans, and coming back to it as a trend (well depends how you look at it) is a little heartwarming.

To identify good moments from the month, to be grateful for it, is such an underrated quality to live a happy and a content life.

But in true social media fashion and the double edged sword that it is, here’s a reminder:
Your life is just as magical as anybody else’s, your moments are just as deep and powerful as you wish for them to be. Your relationships and highs and lows are just as valid as anybody else’s.

Having a *lot* of friends/relations but not meaningful connection, or seeing plastered faces and thinking they live the *good* life won’t get us anywhere but down. Comparison is the thief of joy, we keep hearing it but do we really, as the kids say, deep it?

Alhamdulillah. Reminder to self, be thankful for the blessings you have, be thankful for the lows you have, because if a blessing takes you away from God, it’s worse than a trial.

May Allah ease our hearts and our time in this dunya. Ameen.

🍽️ ||📍Croffle Bank.

Last month I happened to try out this new spot in town with friends, and needless to say, it’s been such a fun spot to hang out at.

Chilled vibes, with interesting Korean food. (I’m new to Korean cuisine so exploring it has been fun!)
The meat is HALAL, the decor is cute, plenty of natural light and need I say they have Boba Tea too! 🤤

The first time I had a scrumptious croffle meal (a cross between a croissant and a waffle), and the second time I tried their Red Bean Bingsu, which was pretty nice considering this was my first time trying! Need to try their rice and noodles.

📍Croffle Bank, Coventry City Centre
🍴Halal (but always ensure before you dine)
💷 Reasonably priced

Who’s meeting me here next? 🤓

#CroffleBank #Bingsu #KoreanFood

Save and share for future visits. ✌🏽

July in Photos 📸

The month turned out to be WAY more happening than I anticipated. A lot of catch-ups, managing workloads + health, trekking with the Muslim bunch, our first show together, and a lot of good food. Alhamdulillah.

Ya Rabb, let the coming months be peaceful, calm and easy on our heads and hearts too. Ameen!

The beginning of a new story. ✨

And just like that, the wedding series comes to an end (at least for now, hehe).

It felt like sharing warm memories on a cold, cold day. A mad, fun filled, stressful to begin with day, three months of intense planning, from clothes and details to decor and venue, lighting and food and everything in between, but something we both will never forget. Alhamdulillah x infinity.

As always, requesting tons of duas, because we all know flashy photos and smiled filled shots aren’t the things that make a marriage. And for that, we’ll always be in need of sincere duas from the bottom of your hearts.

Please say a dua everytime you see something cute and warm, May Allah preserve all of our joys. Ameen.

May Allah increase those married, in love and mawaddah, grant them sakeenah in their spouses and happiness in their lives full of understanding, compromise and wisdom. And all those who are searching for spouses, may Allah make the treacherous path easy and help all in reaching their calm after the intense storms. Ameen!

Now to back to sharing adventure posts after a few weeks of utter cheese! 🤓

A pretty magical day. Alhamdulillah ✨

I thought many times on how to start this post, but couldn’t find the right words.

But this post (as cliche as it sounds!) is dedicated to all of our family and friends who showed up to celebrate with us on the day.

I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a room FULL of people and felt so much at ease even with the nerves of being a ‘bride’, the reality of EVERYONE staring at us (specifically at ME) was so horribly daunting.

But I remember the sudden warmth we felt on a cold june weekend with amber weather warnings, a sense of comfort knowing everyone in the room was there for us, to celebrate us, to have a good time with us!? It helped to play the Covid Card and keep the numbers super low (especially given our cultural backgrounds), but the emotions were so raw and real.
Alhamdulillah.

It was small, and intimate and we missed our fam and friends who couldn’t be there due to geographical reasons, ever so dearly.

And an even more of a special shout-out to my dearest friends who saw the *bridezilla* in me even when I thought I was over the worst of it with the Covid Nikaah. From cakes, to signage, to decor, to speeches, the flowers, to hugs and messages of love and support, everything was felt so dearly.

Alhamdulillah for people Allah places in our lives. What a true blessing to have love celebrated and shared with those who love you.

May Allah keep our lives full of blessed relations and may we be of those who are the best of people to others too with only the purest of intentions. Ameen!

Ps, every time I make a reel I can’t thank people enough who took Vids/Live Photos as our videographer did a runner. 🙃

And these are the only moving digital memories we have!
