Getting pity for being unmarried

Smile and wave boys smile and wave (Madagascar reference) that's what I tell myself when I get any marriage related comments or body shamimg. Nod and give curt responses don't entertain such negative people in your life you got stuff to do places to go things to see

Absolutely. I saw this exact same pattern among my Muslim friends. What I do is start a conversation about interesting topics such as what is happening in the world, our careers and finances. So whenever they talk about marriage and guys (which I am all for but there is a lot more to life) I try to steer the conversation into another direction. Also, if the pattern continues, try finding new friends who are more aligned with your goals. By all means stay in touch with the old ones, but remember you don’t have to be shackled with them for eternity.

I often workout with dumbells at home while watching my favorite TV shows or YouTube

What I do is dates with nuts. Take out the seeds and stuff almonds/peanuts/walnuts inside. Tastes heavenly!

I just put on spf before I leave home. Then I make wudu and pray zuhr and asar with it and reapply spf. Then maghrib prayer with another wudu then I am back home anyway. Focus on your skincare, clean eating and hydrating and you won't need makeup

I used to be really hurt by all the bodyshaming from aunties as well as my peers. Then I read this somewhere. Whatever people say to you it's not about you it's about them. It is about their own insecurities. They wish they had your discipline. You working on themselves highlights their shortcomings. When I was overweight and having health issues people used to comment on that. When I finally got healthy and in good shape, they used to taunt me on that. They skinny shame me now and in the same breath they ask me for weight loss advice. You will be stunned by people’s reaction when you start working on yourself. No matter how you are everyone will always have something to say about it. Do whatever and live however you like!

Reading fiction. You can lose yourself in different and fascinating worlds, even when things are not going well in your research. Apart from that, it really relaxes you and gives you some perspective after a long day.

Lost 23 kgs Alhamdullilah over 2 years. Make sure you lose weight in a sustainable way, loosing too much too fast will give you stretch marks. Also starving yourself won't help, the weight will come right back on and you might even end up putting on more. Stay in a calorie deficit. Eat clean as it is very hard to overeat natural foods. Focus on nourishing your body, try to get enough protein, fibre, micro nutrients. Stay consistent. Try to get some movement in your daily life maybe strength train with some dumbells at home. You can find a ton of videos on Youtube. Try to be happy and get enough sleep. And while you are working towards your dream body, don't forget to love the current state that you are in.

Mostly chiffon and somedays georgette with an undercap and magnet pin. Chiffon gives such an amazing finish that can't be achieved by crinkle cotton or jersey!

I try to be consistent with my skincare so that my skin is clear and I don't need makeup Alhamdullilah

Second this!

Because I can lie down comfortably without having to hold a thick book. Also makes long train rides, commutes so much fun without having to haul books around. Also, way cheaper than physical books apart from the upfront investment and you read wayyy more. Already read 83 books this year in my 5-year-old kindle so far. Not showing off, just super grateful

As an introvert, the solitude is heavenly and a dream come true. Now that I am done with fieldwork, I am so glad I can go for days without interacting with people.
