Ramadan Diary - Day 2 (Friday 19th June 2015)

Hello Everyone! :D

So I can't believe our second day of fasting has been completed Ma'Sha'Allah :D I hope everyone had a wonderful day today and kept yourselves busy with praying to your Lord and doing other spiritual deeds. :)


My day wasn't so great because of my health, which I expected to give me problems. But I didn't break my fast, instead I've kept myself busy either reading the Qur'an or spending some time on my laptop. Fasting was quite hard but I think it was a good thing that I didn't break it. However even said that, I don't want to make things worse for my health so I won't be fasting tomorrow. Although I really, really, REALLY want to but I need to not push because my health needs to be good.

I have already completed 1 para of the Qur'an which I am happy about :) I feel very confident that I would be able to complete it. :)

I also forogt to mention that I have already made some Artcards which I can't wait to share with you guys once they are completed! I'm so excited.

Anyways that's it for today's Ramadan Diary I hope you liked it and look forward to the next one.

Take care and think positive

Ramadan Diary - Day 1 (Thursday 18th June 2015)

Hello Everyone!

~ Ramadan Kareem!!! ~

It's that time of year where you dedicate one whole month fasting, making yourself a more better individual, thinking about those in need and being the best Muslim you hope to be. I hope that your dua's are answered and that you all find peace and In Sha Allah meet in Paradise. Ameen. Xxx



I can't believe it's that time of year again. We have already completed one of our fast and I'm surprised at it too. Before I go any further let me introduce myself to any newcomers, Hey! :) My name is Tarana, I'm just your average Muslim girl who loves to blog and many other creative stuff and I hope that I can inspire you in some way and share my positivity as much as posible. I usually do these posts called 'Ramadan Diaries' where I post about my daily Ramadan life, including what I get up to during the day, how I'm feeling and anything else that I think would help.

So now back to day 1. I'm quite surprised it's gone by so fast I never expected it to. I will try and cherish the moments as much as possible. I have two surprises for you guys! Firstly I want to let you all know that I am fasting this Ramadan!:D And Alhamdulilah I feel good! My health affected me as usual but not as bad!:D I am really thrilled about that. I will try and fast and much as I can and of course if it becomes to much for my health then I would not continue but this is a good start! :D The second thing I wanted to say is that I am going to try and complete reading the Qur'an myself this Ramadan! :D So I'm excited about that, I'm feeling extra ambitious about it too so I hope I can do it! :D

Well that is it for our first Ramadan I hope everyone was making the most of it and make sure to always stay positive.

Let me tell you...

Hey My Amazing Stars!! :D

I know I sort of let you all hanging after my last post about my physio aappointment. In fact I had another after that. I was always meaning to catch you all up but I end up doing something else. If you follow me on my Instagram you would see me posting some of the recent artworks I've been doing.



Before I get into that let me talk about my health and get that out of the way. I have been doing ok, my health keeps fluctuating so it's not always what I want it to be but it is what it is and there's nothing I can do but to control the pain and move on with my life. Which is what I have been doing since the last time I posted. As usual it affects me unpredictably and it's just not the way I would like it to be, but I don't like to dwell on it since it wouldn't do much good so I'm keeping myself busy.

Now the things that I've been doing is creative stuff like writing and drawing. I always feel like I want to paint but I just don't know what I don't do it. It's like one of those things where you think about doing it but by the time you get to it the moment just passes by or you keep procrastinating until it's too late to even do anything. So instead I'm just working on doing the usual simple drawing and sketching with pencils and coloured pencils. Which you would see on my Instagram. :) I felt a bit upset though because I wasn't able to do my crafts to my full ability because my wrist ended up hurting me a lot. However at the end of it I did get to complete it and post it :) I just need to have a creative outlet and this was it.

Another creative thing I have been up to, and some of you would know if you follow my writing blog, is writing. I have been working on my novel and I have also been working on my story with my co-writer. So if you haven't already done so do check it out Here and make sure to leave a comment and your feedback as well. :)

That's really all about it. Since it's the beginning of Ramadan that means I will be doing m daily Ramadan Diaries starting with today so look forward to it! :)

I hope everything is going well with you all and make sure to always stay positive because being negative doesn't solve anything.

Now I'm off to write my first entry of Ramadan after this post now so look forward to it because there will be a surprise in there too.

Take Care and think positive

So special and motivating to me

Hey Everyone :D

So today one of my cousins came over and they said something that made me so happy.

They were looking for a clay activity to do with their class, and they needed a video and they stumble across mine and the children made small pots as gifts for Mother's Day! 

That made me so happy to hear the fact that they watched my video and made their own creations as well. Really motivated me to do more and upload more. So I can't wait to do more!!

I know it's been awhile since I've done anythingn or even written here but I shall be writing more because I feel like I've been neglecting this blog I hope to do more and share more of my thoughts with you all.

So for now I'll save you for my activity tomorrow by saying that I have my first ever physio which I'm curious to know exactly what would be happening. So I should let you all know what happens when I get back.

I have to sleep now because I have to wake up really early in the morning (which my body feels a lot of pain from but it needs to be done) so I shall talk to you all after my appointment.

Goodnight, I hope you all have a wonderful day and a great week! :D

Got some good news and bad news

Hey everyone! :D

Ok first off I want to start off by saying the bad news (so we can end on a positive  note of course). The bad news is that all my previous photos have been lost and will not be restored. So from now on I will just continue to upload pictures currently and past ones too but I won't be able to get them back.

Good news is that I've ordered a few things that would help with my filming. It is this mini stand for IPhones (since I use IPhone to film) so I would have a better angle showing my work.

Another good news is that I'm working on a lot of crafting charms so I wills be filming one! If you haven't already done so go check out my YouTube video on my last post on miniature clay pots and a necklace pendant too, so go ahead and check it out!

That's all for now.

Great News!

Hey Everyone! :D

I have great news I was finally able to finish my first crafting video and it should be up tomorrow after I do the rendering and uploading! I am so excited!

The editing of this video took a lot longer then I expected so there was a lot to do and I couldn't record my voice in one part of the video - this was the same part that lagged on me too so you can skip that part - you will see the video and know what I mean.

Also if you follow me on my Instagram and Twitter you should get good updates and notices on my video upload! If you follow me on my Instagram you would have already seen the picture of the final product so look forward to the video!

I will post the picture on here now so you can all see it.

I hope you all like it and look forward to the video!

I will make more in the future hopefully! I also bought other types of clay and would be making some charms from them later on so there would be more videos to come!

Well that's it for today apologies for not posting as much as I wanted to I will be posting a bit more from now on :)

Hope you enjoy and take care and think positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox
