Bullet Journal




I have been debating back and forth with myself whether or not I wanted to start my own Bullet Journal. After much debate I have decided YESS! I hit up the Dollarama a while back and picked up some things to get me started. I eventually want to buy Calligraphy pens but I wanted to try it out first and see if I stick to it before going straight for the expensive stuff.

Some of the stuff I picked up are:

  • A thick paged sketchpad notebook
  • Pens
  • Black fine tip ink pens
  • Double sided markers (thick + thin)
  • Pencils
  • Gem stickers
  • Pencil case
  • Metallic tape (for design purposes)

The best thing I found about bullet journaling is that there isn't a set structure when normally there is. I struggled with this at first with bullet journaling as I found myself wanting to add dividers and section off things but no matter what I did with the structure it wasn't practical. You don't have to be a professional either! I was intimidated by some of the bullet journal posts on Pinterest because of their incredible skill and artistry. Mine are so basic and that's okay too! I am enjoying it more and more each day! Maybe my skill level will pick up with time.

You can literally write about anything. Thoughts, goals, plans, calendars, organization, relaxation methods; the topics are endless! It is a great way to destress too especially if you enjoy writing or drawing.

Like I mentioned earlier if you want to take up Bullet Journaling there is no need to go for the expensive stuff right away, although I know it can be super tempting. There are so many gorgeous planners, stickers, add-ons, and so much more out there that it is hard to resist. Believe me you don't need to go all out. I resisted and my cute Dollarama sketchpad is getting more and more glammed up by the minute ;)
I wouldn't underestimate the Dollarama either, the stuff you buy there adds up quickly! Well.. that is if you have no self-control in there like me.

Take a look at a few pages that I did. If there are other creatives out there taking part in the bullet journal experience I would love to see some of your work or just comment suggestions for other things to write about!





Post you next week! :)

The Shatha Show

I am helping my sister Shatha with her new YouTube channel called The Shatha Show. The videos star Shatha opening surprises, reviewing products, or just having fun in her day. We would appreciate thumbs up on the videos and some subscriptions. The Shatha Show They are kid-friendly videos appropriate for all ages. Shatha and my daughter Malak both are guilty for watching kids open surprises on YouTube so we thought it would be fun for Shatha to do her own videos. We are open to suggestions and would love to see some interactions on Shatha's channel. Stay tuned for more videos! Our goal is for once a week but we will see how that works out for us :) Thanks all!

Ramadan 2020: Preparations and Resources

Just under a month to go for Ramadan 2020! This year I have put together a nice '30 Days of Kindness' Calendar for Ramadan for children with the help of parents/guardians to follow earn some good deeds this Ramadan. Please feel free to pull and print off and if you would like an emailed PDF version just contact me and I would be more than happy to send it. I printed many copies and will be delivering to friends and family with children that I think would like to do this.   In the past I have tried to do a more festive Ramadan month to put some Barakah back into the month and have it be a joyous occasion for all. It is especially important for children because it helps instill that love of the month for them from a young age. Especially growing up and seeing the temptations of other Holidays and wondering why we don't do anything fun for Ramadan or Eid? Simple decorations and preparations like hanging some lights up across the window, lanterns placed around the...

2018 in Cupcakes

You read the title correctly: 2018 in Cupcakes! Looking through my Instagram timelines and sliding through my phones pictures I noticed we made a bunch of cupcakes throughout the year. So what better way to go over 2018 then to go through all the pictures of cupcakes I found? Let's begin! During Malak's 3rd Birthday party we all decorated cupcakes as one of the activities! The kids just piled on the toppings while the rest of us tried to make something cute hahah! Malak's birthday is on January 26th but we had her birthday part on the Sunday which was the 28th! We had so much fun at Malak's Paw Patrol themed party and I know Malak had a blast <3 More gorgeous cupcakes from Malak's birthday party with my nephew Karam staring intensely at them, all he wanted to do was grab one! I know they aren't cupcakes but I had to document the gorgeous Canada Day donuts that I picked up after July 1st! I made this a my nephew Karam's 1st birt...
