AsSalaamu Alykum

I am here trying to organize my house.  Muslims are suppose to be organized and productive.  Well to be honest I am not organized and I could be more productive.  So I have decided to tackle my organization so maybe I can be more productive. Being a Muslim/Muslima is not about being perfect but about changing and becoming better.  There are lots of organization tips online and I plan on  using some.  Homeschooling my kids makes it even more vital to be organized.  I have a schedule for them and a chore chart but they do not always stick to it.  I don't ask a lot of them I pretty much only have it as a reminder to pick up things they have forgotten and to help me out a little but I take on most tasks myself.  I do believe responsibility is important for children. Not only this they learn to take care of things. When I got married I knew a lot Alhumdilulah, All praises and thanks to God, about taking care of my home I cannot say that about most of the friends I grew up with.  I want them to have good morals and good skills. Insha Allah.  I will post some links I have found that may help you if you face the same problem or just want to try something new.

Noble Quran and the Holy Bible

AsSalaamu Alykum

I hope this evening finds you in good spirits. The last few days I have been ill and now today I find my son will need surgery.  But I let nothing get me down, I hold my head up cause I know we are in the best of hands. I have done my job as a mother, now it is in Allah's hands. 

Beautifying Your Hair

 

 

Ok I figured covering hair would be a first good safe subject to start with.

 

When washing your hair or brushing your hair do you have wads of hair that comes out? Well this is me but I never could find out why.  I knew stress contributed to this along with new growth. But also I skip breakfast at times. This is a big no no for your hair. A good healthy breakfast high in protein  help keeps your hair healthy. The amount of protein each person needs is different depending on weight, health, and activity level. There are also other factors like woman that are pregnant need a different amount of protein.  My suggestion is to talk with your doctor. 

I have started eating breakfast with my children which includes yogurt with a fruit.  Yogurt is usually high in protein but you need to check the label, cottage cheese is good as well.  Also, I found that trimming your hair on the full moon helps. I honestly don't know why, but my mother taught me this and it has worked in the past.  I have gotten to where I do not keep up with the trimming as I used to. Life tends to get busy. But I am noticing now that I wear my hair longer I need those trimmings.  This is just some information I have picked  up on the way and thought to share it. It may or may not work for you. One thing I forgot to mention I also use a natural henna, it softens my hair and seems to put the moisture back in it.  Warning though depending on your hair color you may end up with red or orange hair.  But it is all natural and really good for your hair and helps it keep from falling out as much.  I would test a piece underneath to see if you like it and this is a route you are willing to take.  Later I will give my secret to how I mix and apply the henna. But you can research online or email me.

 

As I said previously if you have info to share please do!

 

 

(Note: some religions are against trimming of the hair so please keep this in mind when you read. I always ask my husband if he minds, out of respect, cause he loves me and my hair and I love him.Alhumdilulah)

New to Blogging

I am new to blogging but it is something I have always wanted to try. So finally I got the nerve to try, I mean how bad can I mess this up :) he he. I created this page to share bits of information I have discovered over the years and share them with you. I want this page to be for woman to come together regardless of age, race or religion and to share ideas and suggestions. Hopefully some of the information I put on here will be helpful. Always feel free to comment. We learn from each other. Please bear with me as I make mistakes along the way I will try to keep from making any but if I do feel free to tell me so I can correct it. :) We may not always agree but I believe in respecting each other.

 

Page is under construction.  Please bare with me. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
