Join My Tea- & Coffee-party!

My little PC and a Coffee Latte Tiramisu!

I'm having a lovely Saturday. It seems to be the first real day of Spring because there are +10 degrees Celcius in some parts of the country :-D So I just had to get out of my home and go to one of my favorite café's and have a Coffee Latte Tiramisu! How I love that drink. Hehe. Also I felt like I'd been home a bit too much this week and I needed to go out... I already feel how that also makes it greater to get home later and see my husband again :-) 'cause sometimes I feel like we see each other a bit too much, which makes it less exciting... You know what they say, "it's good to miss each other a bit sometimes".

Well, back to my coffee. Yummi ;)

I feel like inviting you all here! But because it is impossible because of obvious reasons, I invite you to my virtual tea- and coffee party! Please join in my dear sisters :)

And because this is rose water throwing this party, you should all try making this lovely rose tea some day, if you're throwing a party yourself:

This recipe will make one gallon of rose tea.

• 8 bags of earl grey tea

• 1 large orange or two medium ones - sliced

• 1 cup of white sugar

• 3 tablespoons of rose water

• 1/2 gallon of hot water - 2 quarts

• 2 quarts of ice

I got the delicious recipe here, where you can read how to make it: http://www.fun-tea-party-ideas.com/rose-water-tea.html

But for this tea- and coffee party, tell me what you choose to drink :) and answer these 3 questions:

1. Do you have a memory connected to marshmallows, cornflakes or strawberries - if yes, what is it?

2. If you were going to have your last meal ever, what would you have?

3. What is freedom to you?

Here are my answers to the 3 questions:

1. Once (when I was 10)  I was on a wonderful vacation in the mountains of Norway with my family. We lived in a little house without water and electricity - and had to get water from a river :-) Every morning sheep would lick the plants and grass outside the house and I would go out to them on my bare feet and feed them cornflakes and suddenly more and more sheep would crowd outside the house every morning, begging for cornflakes :-D

2. I would have a vegetarian Indian dish with Indian bread and sweet mango lassi and for desert I'd have icecream with hot chocolate sauce and also a piece of cheesecake and a cup of green tea with roses...!

3. Freedom to me is when you feel free inside -- a peaceful and happy heart and soul, feeling the presence of Allah (swt) and feeling satisfaction and gratitude for everything there is.

Please join in my dear sisters! And I tag ~ x Aisha x ~, Alice, Marie & MoOn to throw the next tea- & coffee-parties :)
I send you lots of love and happiness on this beautiful Saturday!

Gratitude & Happiness

Hello my dear Blogger-sisters!

I have been missing you and I am soooo extremely happy to have holidays now after having finished my bachelor project and attending an exam yesterday. Insha'Allah I will pass both tasks! :)

I have lots of wonderful plans for my holidays, like learning more Arabic, visiting my family and friends, cleaning up everything in our apartment and giving things I don't need to charity. I will watch movies that make me feel good, eat what I love to eat, exercise, be in company I love, pray, make duaa, read Qur'an, feel love and happiness. YAY. I'm seriously on a journey to feel more pure happiness in my life! I want to use this year to change into an even happier content person, insha'Allah and as much as possible, do things that make me feel good.

You can join in if you want. Focus on good feeling thoughs, do things that feel good and if you feel bad, try to be grateful for things you already have in your life that can make you feel better. Insha'Allah :) It's truly good for the heart, body, mind and soul be grateful and happy inside.

And remember this:
This verse, together with many others, gives the good tidings that Allah (swt) rewards those who remain grateful to their Creator:

And remember! Your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): “If you are grateful, I will increase My favours to you. But if you show ingratitude, truly, My punishment is terrible indeed.” (Abraham, 7)
