I know it's been a long time since I last posted on here.....I have missed this little place of mine very much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't plan to be away for this long, it was only going to be a week or two but then things get in the way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main thing that has kept me away from blogging is weight loss......I started I think in April, at a starting weight of 101 kilos I'm now at 72 kilos.....so I've spent from then till now eating healthy food and getting fit...i both look and feel much better mashallah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I just felt I had to put all my heart and soul in to this....i didn't really want anything to get in my way.</div>

I have to admit that weight loss has even kept me away from crafting and reading.......so I have a lot of crafting and reading to catch up on!<br />
I'm thinking of all the nice things I can make....i shall have to make a list of things to do over the next month, like that I'll have to get things done!<br />
<br />
<br />
well I shall keep the first blog post back short and sweet....\i promise to blog again soon.<br />

Do I feel that the past two years has been a waste of my time, No....everything happens for a reason, be it good or bad!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is noting shameful about ending an engagement...no matter how long it has gone on for, if two people are not right for each other then there is no point in going through with it....if you are already having problems and problems keep coming then you really need to step back and ask why, Is Allah trying to tell me something? is this the right man for me? am I the right woman for him?....this is something that I have thought long and hard about and in the end ,me and my parents just knew it was not meant to be.</div>
<div>
I asked Allah taala to show me a sign and subhanallah he did.....each time I asked this something would happen or come in our way!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
marriage is hard enough as it is I'm sure...so why would I go through with it when it so clearly was not working, it would only have made both me and him unhappy and would have created more hurt had we just gone along with it....is it not better to admit we are not right for each other and move on find our own ways?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think that sometimes you have to get something wrong in order to get it right....was I too fast to say yes?</div>
<div>
I know for sure I didn't ask the things I should have!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But thinking positively I can take from this and make the next time better...I know better now then I did then, and inshallah next time it will work better too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everything is the Qadar of Allah and what is meant to be will be.....Allah knows what is best for us.</div>
<div>
Now is the time to move on and get on with life....this I am greatly looking forward to!</div>
<div>
This engagement was making me greatly unhappy and it was making look negatively at everything....on life on Hijrah on it all.</div>
<div>
It's strange how one thing can make you look and think badly about so many other things!...but alhamdulillah life is already starting to look brighter.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I feel so much lighter now that all this is over, I feel like I can move on....take some time out to just think things over.....it feel good to not have to worry about it anymore!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

Nice fresh summery food.....is there anything better then a nice cool salad on a nice warm and sunny day?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This summer I would love to become more healthy....which means plenty of fresh vegetables lots of water and working out inshallah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I always feel that summer is the best time to start a diet....so I'm just going to go for it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This here was A really nice and refreshing salad made by my sister.....she's much more daring then I am, the only kind of salad I would put oranges in our be one filled with loads of other fruits....I would not have ever thought of mixing it with onions, fennel and mustard....but I have to say that it was so delicious, the oranges we a little sour but it was really good!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's an odd mix when you think about it...but it just somehow works, it all comes together to make one of the most flavoursome things I have ever tasted!<br />

I'm still enjoying my walks to and from the school....there is nothing better then some nice fresh air to make a person feel better after a weekend of feeling ill!</div>

This is our local Masjid.....I have to say it's one of the best things about living in a Muslim country the fact that you have so many Masjids dotted about everywhere, I think we must hear about five different Adhans from our house alone ....some sound better then others though! But how beautiful is it to be able to hear all that from the comfort of your own home mashallah!<br />
<br />
I have to admit that I do not use the masjid as often as I should, I mean it's one of the things we always complain about back in London ..how there is not enough space for women...and here I am in a land of muslims perfectly able to use a masjid yet I just don't...at most I might pray salat al eid.....I have gone a handful of times for tarawih during ramadhan but that's it, even then I only went because I was asked to.<br />
<br />
I think my problem is that I don't like being around so many people....so this ramadhan I shall make more of an effort to go inshallah.....and it would be nice to go for jumuah inshallah!<br />
<br />
If you have a nice masjid and you can use it why not.....after all is that not what Hijrah is all about...making more effort in your deen....I can say hand on heart that I have probably make less effort since moving here and that's sad but it's never to late to change right?<br />

This weekend has been a very quiet one, we all stayed at home and just got on with our own little things......I did some reading, thought about maybe crafting something.....although I haven't actually got my crafting things out yet it is only three in the afternoon so I still have some time.....not alot but I can maybe start something if I put my mind to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mum bought me some thin crochet hooks so I will probably start a doily......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My day as always started with a nice hot cup of tea, I am totally British about my day, it does not start before I have had a nice cup of tea....most days it takes at least two pots before I even start to feel like a human....which is probably not the best thing seeming as the tea bags are almost all gone.....!</div>

Apart from some dishes here and there I have not really done very much at all today....which is perfectly fine seeming as it is indeed the weekend....and that's sort of what the end of the week is for! </div>

This is the view from one of our windows....it's a shame the weather isn't so clear today because when it is you can actually see the mountains and if you look close enough you can see houses on them too.<br />
I like this view best at night when all the street lights are on.!<br />
<br />
The house today smells so nice and sweet mashallah because my sister has spent all morning baking cakes they look and smell yummy mashallah!<br />

This is our daily walk to and back from my little sisters school....it's a walk I have come to love mashallah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The walk to the school is nice and peaceful with nothing to interrupt my thoughts...I love seeing people just getting on with their lives, shopping, walking with their children and talking to friends.</div>

It was starting to look really nice mashallah....they were painting and cleaning the roads mashallah, I am a bit upset that they cut down all the trees along the main roads, the trees looked to pretty mashallah!</div>

It does look a bit empty now but it doesn't make me enjoy the walk any less alhamdulillah!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But it all adds to the character mashallah.</div>

The weather is getting nice and hot mashallah and summer is well and truly on it's way....I have to say that it's probably one of the things I like best about living in Algeria...the fact that there are indeed four seasons!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The winter was not as hard or cold as it was last year....I am for ones looking forward to the summer and some nice light and sunny days insahallah!</div>

<br />
We have been out a few times this month, I don't think there is anything much nicer then being able to go out and spend time with friends and people you love!....I always think there is something so comforting about spending time with others, drinking tea and talking.<br />

and plenty of nice things to look at too...I always feel so inspired to make things once I've come back home, after spending the whole day with my nose in some of these!<br />
<br />
I actually after reading something in country living, have made a promise to me that I will make a rag rug this year inshallah! yup they just look so nice and homely....I need to make one for no other reason other then the fact that well....it's pretty!<br />

<br />
But just because I have been away this does not mean I have not been thinking about you.....I have taken loads of picture and need only wait to uploads them on to the computer now...which I hope I shall get done by tomorrow so that I can post something up of interest!<br />
<br />
I have kept up on the oil pulling front....and...it does seem to be working a bit, although I'm thinking of changing from olive oil to normal cooking oil, the olive oil although it has helped a bit it's just a little too thick.<br />
Algerian olive oil it not like any other I have ever seen before....it is really think not like the stuff you buy in london! it's more of a brown then a green....and while it tastes nice it just isn't the right kind for oil pulling!<br />
<br />
I have also tried My hands at facial oil pulling.....I hear Sophia Loren used to this every day, and lets face it...who does not want skin like hers????<br />
<br />
First you wash your face, you the rub a small amount of olive oil in to your skin ( i read the best olive oil for the job is Italian olive oil) but I always make do with what we have so thick Algerian oil it was! you then get a wash cloth and put it in hot water, you place it on your face as hot as you can manage, reheat you cloth and do the same again this time you very gently scrub your face.<br />
<br />
All i'm going to say is it did not work for me...if you want to wake up and not recognise your own face go for it... i did this for a week...not wanting to give up without really trying it out well.<br />
i was told that by the end of day three I will have soft skin and that any spots and black heads would be gone within a blink of an eye!<br />
<br />
Sophia Loren I bet didn't look as oily or a black head filled as I did...i had spots on my face, under the skin and not really easy to see but I could feel them!<br />
<br />
Lesson number one when looking for the perfect olive oil for your face stay away from Algerian olive oil.....too thick!<br />
<br />
lesson two I will never have the skin of Sophia Loren....so I need not try!<br />
<br />
Is good skin really too much to ask for?<br />

Last year ended with me coming and going to the dentist....I have not got the healthiest teeth in the world i know!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
when we were living in the UK I used to go about my teeth every six months or so, so my teeth while I was living there wasn't so bad, however almost four years after coming here I have only just had my first visit to an Algerian dentist....and lets just put it this way...my gums are not as healthy as they should be!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to tell the truth here I did have a lot of bad dreams and thoughts about seeing an Algerian dentist at all let alone for the first time!.....I have never had this problem in the UK by the way!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have had thoughts of having my teeth being pulled out ...of the dentists drilling a hole right through my jaw! of bleeding out and dying and then.....I went and....I have to say as you might already know by now non of these things came true.....apart from the bleeding bit...but then it wasn't as much as i thought it would and.....as you can see i didn't die......I have to say I almost died on the spot when mum said she was going to take me...even though I asked her to!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also at this point have to say that it is the very first time I have ever had to go anywhere related to health and had to sit in a garden chair.....but then this is Africa we are talking about!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I am going to try out oil pulling...I have to say the thought of having to pull oil through my teeth before I have even had anything to eat make me feel a little agh about it...the thought of leaving it in my mouth for 20 minutes makes me feel YUCK but...for the sake of a healthy mouth I WILL do it!</div>

This week I have been doing alot of reading......one of the only things that keeps me happy throughout the winter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to say I'm really loving the No.1 ladies detective agency....I have had great fun with the first two books now, I have enjoyed them greatly....and I'm about to start book number three tonight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are very easy to read and both the first and second books didn't take me very long to get through!</div>

I watched the T.V adaptation a few year ago when I was still living in the UK and I actually read the first book then as well and have been in love with it ever since! </div>

I have also found a love for poetry again....this has to be my most loved piece ever...this was actually the poem I studied for while I was taking my GCSE's....I always remember home when I read it because I studied it during my last year there!<br />

Ever since I was a little child I have always loved how for the little time you sit down to read a book...an hour or maybe less...but for however long you sit down to read it, you can just be someone else...somewhere else....I like to read books set in different places around the world...because in some odd way, i feel like I have traveled the world!laylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05246906903607472022noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176423719968272365.post-92049385174217910822013-02-04T06:21:00.001-08:002013-02-04T06:32:27.900-08:00pretty and warm....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't think there is any better way to spend a cold a rainy afternoon then with a good crafting project....and there is nothing like a nice hot cup of tea to keep your hands warm in a house that seems to always be cold!</div>

last week I started a new crochet project...it was going to be a cardigan for my younger sister.....however the pattern went a little wrong...and it just didn't look like it was going to fit any kind of a human being.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So after spending two afternoons crocheting up the whole of the back, i decided to take it all apart and look for something else to make.....which is a shame because I think it would have made a really nice warm and cosy cardigan for the winter!</div>

But after I had a look around online for something else to do...I actually started to feel a little happy that the other project didn't go so well...because I found the perfect shawl!<br />
And lets face it who doesn't need a nice lacy shawl for the winter?......who needs real warmth when you can have something pretty and pink?<br />

I haven't gotten that much of it done however it does seem to be working up really fast, and so far it's been really easy to make.....I shall have to stay up tonight and get some more of it done before I go to sleep!<br />
It does give me great joy to look at and I can't wait to finish it!<br />
<br />
till tomorrow xxxx<br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm finding it hard to write on it and to be honest I'm finding it.....well a bit boring!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It just turned into a blog about me trying to do things, yet somehow not getting anything done....it just turned into a whole lot of empty word, do you see why I no longer loved my old blog.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have always thought that a blog should be like a home for your thoughts...and mine was just feeling like an empty house...not really mine but somebody else's!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I would love this place to feel like it was really mine...like I could put every thought in to it and feel happy about it too, I want to be able to look back at this blog and feel like I've actually done something....I want it to be more colourful and bright then the other one, more pictures and projects!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love the thought of being able to let people see in to my life...and being able to stay in touch with people who are so far away from me now....</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I want this year and all the year to come inshallah to be more productive then the first god knows how many years of my life!...I want to learn new things and be good at them!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I hope that I will always love this blog and see it as something I can always come to when I have a thought to share....big or small!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This blog will be bigger and better and I will love it and make it mine....</span></span><br />
