Women don't want to sacrifice anything

Gosh, it’s only 2.45pm and I am already exhausted!! But I know, I am not the only one and have to keep on until 11pm/12am. WHY? Because I am a woman.

Women are expected to be everywhere. At the office, earning some money, at the grocery shop, buying stuff for the house, at family reunions, solving problems, in the car, picking up the kids, at home, breastfeeding and baking… Being a woman is far from what Marylin Monroe portrays.

Of course, there are women fully enjoying their femininity, time and keeping the nails shiny and polished but that’s not most of us. Most of us are just mad!!! We had hard time or maybe didn’t even have the choice to pick the life we want. Do we want to have a loving husband and a family? Or do we want a successful career? Or be a good housewife and mother? Or do a job we’re passionate about? Or earn personal money and have some savings? Or travel the world and explore new horizons. Well of course, we want it ALL.

We are ready for no sacrifice. We jump from a business meeting to the cleaner to going back making lunch to then the office to picking up the children, to going back to the office…I am not finishing this thought because it’s too long.

So if we are tired and exhausted, I think that’s understandable. Many of us who are superbusy women and moms also decide that with all the things they have to do, they still manage to get massage appointments, go to the hammam, the hairdresser and find time for themselves.

I am a woman myself and I am stunned at how much women can do. I think they should be called magicians.

In these tough times, women find less and less help. Sisters, cousins, aunts, everyone is busy with his/her own life. The woman has to do it all by herself facing daily challenges and solving daily problems.

To all women out there, you are beautiful magicians!!

Before you get out of bed and chase your dreams....

Here I am back from a mini vacation. As a read, I took Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins. Self-development books are great because they help you reboot your life in a matter of a few seconds, minutes, hours… What is interesting about the new phenomena of self-development and the Secret effect is that everyone now talks about gratitude and how important it is to be grateful for what you have before you ask for more or better. It is true that we spend our time looking for what we don’t have and we love comparing ourselves with others. Self-help books authors are right to suggest that one should implement gratitude exercises on a daily basis so s/he is aware of his/her given talents, resources and assets in life. It is a proven way that one will live happier and less miserable. To be honest, I didn’t need to read it from Tony or Ronda. Gratitude is something we are taught to ever since we are small children. After finishing a meal, you should say ‘hamdoullah’. Hamdoullah isn...

London under the Snow

CLICK TO WATCH It's been a while since I've posted a travel video. And since a lot of you voted for more travel videos on a recent Instagram poll, I thought why not vlog when I went to London last week. I have lived on 3 continents, 4 countries and 6 cities and London is the one that has a very special place in my heart. I love everything about the city: the people, food, vibe and this mixture of the British and European cultures. On this trip, I take you to the Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, the Thames, London Eye, Picadilly Circus etc on a week where it snowed so much that most schools were closed and the transportation was slow. Lucky me!! I hope you'll enjoy this video and if you do, please let me know!! Thanks for your support.
