FIRST VLOG IN YEARS ☆ Ramadan Preparations, Support Groups, Motherhood + lots of cooking!
Well hello there, and salams... as I am here typing this message and uploading this video - I cannot help but feel a bit of an imposter syndrome with the whole KZhead and vlogging world. I have felt so down and so low on energy for the longest time, that when I finally felt the urge to pick up my camera and create some content - I just went for it without allowing myself to second-guess it and talk myself out of it.
Products/ Places/ Things I mentioned:
- The amazing toddler clock that helps my daughter not wake up at 5AM: amzn.to/3P3MfzV
- Stainless Steel lunchbox containers: amzn.to/49xMcUM
- Magnetic measuring cups: amzn.to/3UDY3MS
- Art Light: amzn.to/3OFaa8m
- Ramadan books: / thestoryteller.qa
- My blue prayer gown: / rouqei.arts
- The Women's Center&Mosque: / almujadilah.qa
My talented friend/interior designer: / begumyig_interiors
My talented artist friend who customized all the paintings in my house: / ec.studio
PS! For anyone in Qatar: The stores I visited were Shaheen and Rawnaq, but I found the best stuff in Homecenter ;)
If you want to see more videos, and if there is anything specific you want to see/hear about in the next one. Do let me know xx
Love always,
Eileen
Oh my gosh Eileeen, "I have nothing interesting going on in my life" and yet you are running a whole SUPPORT GROUP - this is AMAZING, very, very cool and I really wish this was more common place. I did my first Ramadan nearly 4 (!) years ago, but I still struggle in many ways. If you could move this online I think you'd have people queueing around the block to join... Alhamdulillah very happy to see you back and mashallah for your ability to be so kind and welcoming to new muslims.
The requests for something similar online have truly been...A LOT. But so far I can't think of a way to properly organize it because you guys are from all around the planet - how to filter who gets to join and who not, how to manage time zones, how to limit group size, how to limit who gets the mic and when...It's a lot more complex haha! In out group we are between 12-20 women and face-to-face and we have 2 hours each time to speak about whatever troubles (or brings joy) each and every girl in the room...maybe you could start something similar wherever you live! just an idea ;)
@@EslimahI'm just.. I'm grateful you did this vlog because.. idk it just serves as hope for me in so many ways. Alhamdulilah 💖 may Allah bless your efforts for the revert group. I wish I could get involved with the centre in some way as I do Gratitude healing for Muslim women. As a convert it's so beautiful to see someone who's been through similar things living a beautiful life. It gives so much hope than you would know. May Allah swt bless your family and all the women and people involved at the woman's mosque ameen❤
“Hakuna Matata” - okay balance So much wisdom in your response there ❤❤❤❤
I agree! Allahouma barek
Im so grateful you started posting again, I watched your vlogs during a time I was interested Islam, now at the beginning of the year I converted! You were for sure one of the inspiring people on my journey 🥰
Welcome to Islam welcome to the ummah.. May Allah swt bless your journey 🤲🏻🤍
Welcome sister ❤️ may Allah guide you and bless your journey 🤲🏻
Welcome sister ❤ May Allah bless and protect you

I just love your way of educating Lily. It takes a village to nurture knowledge. Youre just amazingly inspiring ❤️🥹 May God bless you and Haytham and Lily!

You actually make me so happy, thank you for posting again!

Great vlog❤❤
Absolutely loved this vlog!! Please keep it up in sha Allah! Your life is far from boring, Mashallah!! Congratulations on the revert group, I wish I had something like that where I live!
A wise teacher once told me - if you see something dearly missing, maybe that's a sign for you to be the one to start it ;)
Don’t stop vlogging!!! ❤️
