Life of Fatima

I've been sick since Friday and it sucks! Can't sleep, can't breathe, can't taste, and just can't be around people because I have huge headaches from every light and sound. I didn't really go to the hospital because I thought it's just a cold. But urgh.. this cold.. killed me.. I couldn't stop sneezing and coughing and my eyelid muscles became weak due to that and I couldn't open my eyes. What a pain. But gladly I got some proper medication from the pharmacy yesterday night and I'm feeling much better already. My cough is better and my insane sneezing stopped. I think I may have to take them for a couple more days to get better. On another note, the weather has been rainy lately and I am kinda scared for my plants outside because I haven't been able to go check on them due to rain and me being sick these past few days. And I have just planted some more seeds so I am not sure what had happened to them. Maybe I'll try checking on ...

Two days ago I found out on Instagram that one of people I admire as a farmer @grow_it_green Ms. Aalia is doing a workshop in Bahrain! So I HAD to register! And omg was it fun! I really enjoyed every bit of it and I have learned so much! It was only a period of 3 hours but it was really educational. Most of the stuff were familiar to me because I have read about them before on the internet and in books. But to have someone with experience in the field explain these kind of things make it much easier and more enjoyable to understand. They gave away a sample of soil mix that actually had earthworms in! That is just so cool! I have always wished to get these amazing creatures in my little farm because I know how much of a difference they can make to the quality of the soil AND health of the plant. I am just really grateful for them to provide these earthworms to us. And of course the seeds are a giveaway as well 😍 But there was a small Q&A competition where I have won the h...

I've been trying to do some latte art for sometime now but I just can't get it right! I tried reading books about the techniques, watched YouTube and Instagram videos, and I even practiced! Like.. A LOT! But no Fatima. You cannot do it right. So I went to the next thing! Drawing on coffee! 😂 This technique felt easier for me. I would place the milk foam where ever I want with a spoon, and I would use chocolate syrup (or strawberry) to draw and color! 😊 It's pretty easy because I can just draw whatever I want! But it's still a bit annoying because it doesn't feel like a paper and pen (of course lol) and the drawing would shift easily. I was hoping to attend a barista workshop sometime in the future, but I still cannot find a proper one. I really want to do latte art like a professional.😛

WE WON!!!! 💗💗 For the first time EVER we get to win the Arabian Gulf Cup in football! The match was just legendary and we deserved every bit of it! The team showed ALL who doubted or made fun of Bahrain. They didn't believe we can do it BUT WE DID!! Congratulations to our country, team, people, and family. 💖  

I love plants. Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved them. I couldn't step on grass thinking it was a living being and it would hurt if I'd step on it. I find it fun to gather different types of plants 😆I have more than 10 indoor plants and more than 50 outdoor. I wouldn't mind it if anyone would give me  a plant as a gift haha Maybe I will dedicate a post for my outdoor plants in the near future. I just need to wait for some seeds to grow and for me to clean up the place outside.  I grow my veggies out in the balcony in pots, and earlier in the evening my awesome husband had opened the metal fence between our apartment's balcony and my sister-in-law's. Now it's just one big balcony and I can use the extra space for my potatoes!
