i used to drive a brand new dodge challenger.
now i drive a 13-year-old honda accord that belonged to my husband.

i crashed the first car — and with it, a version of my identity that was deeply tied to proving i had made it.
the car was on a loan.
the pressure was internal.
the shame was loud.

for years, i felt like my self-worth showed up in the driveway with me.
as a young woman freelancing in interior design, i wanted to park next to my clients’ homes and feel like i belonged.
but when i sneezed in a parking lot and totaled my car against a column — it was as if god asked me to re-evaluate what really matters.

and so i did.
i chose not to buy a new car.
i chose travel over status.
i chose experiences over proof.

and even now, part of me still wants to explain the downgrade.
but i remind myself: i am not what i drive.
i am not what i wear.
i am who i am.
and that’s enough.

this post isn’t about cars — it’s about the invisible pressure we all carry to look like we have it together.
it’s okay to let go of that.
you don’t need to prove your worth.
you are already valuable.

if this resonates, tell me your story too 🤍

pov: i stuck my iphone to the hotel wall with octobuddyofficial and made it cinematic 🎥

filmed this tutorial with my raybanmeta glasses because i’m manifesting this sponsorship ✨ one day, inshallah 🫶

sometimes all it takes is an iphone, a wall, and a little creativity to capture b-roll magic 🌿

i’m a content creator and social media manager.
we traveled to 5 countries in 12 days for lepetitmarche, and these are the tech tools that made capturing content actually doable ✈️📱

🎥 what i used:
	•	iphone 16 pro by apple
	•	sandisk usb‑c external storage by sandiskstorage 
	•	airpods pro by apple
	•	wireless me microphone by rodemic 
	•	dji pocket 3 camera by djiinuae 
	•	20w power bank from amazonae 
	•	meta smart glasses by raybanmeta 
	•	ipad mini + ipad pro by apple
	•	apple pencil
	•	macbook pro 2019 by apple
	•	octobuddy phone mount by octobuddyofficial 

each one had a purpose. from filming and sketching to editing on-the-go, i relied on every single one of these at some point during the trip.
if you’re managing content while traveling — especially solo — storage, stability, and battery life are everything.

saved me. saved the team.
10/10 would pack again.

sometimes being alone feels like freedom, not loneliness 🌿✨
on this business trip, i had an hour to myself and decided to hop on a boat, ride an e scooter, and just listen to what i wanted. no schedules, no compromises, just me.

traveling solo taught me the most important relationship i’ll ever have is the one with myself 💌
do i miss my husband and sister when i travel? of course. but i’ve learned that being alone doesn’t mean being lonely.

if you’re waiting for someone to join you before taking that trip… don’t. just go 🛫💫

lost my voice in germany 🇩🇪 , but found a little more clarity 🌬️🍂
from museum halls to quiet cafés to streets lined with pastel houses; cologne whispered what my voice couldn’t say.

i prayed for this. for travel. for art. for beauty that isn’t loud but lingers.
and somehow, even in silence, alhamdulilah الله يسمع 💛

🥨pretzels ⚪️pearls, 📿prayer rugs, 👁️perspective.
this is what september looked like.

📍cologne, germany 🇩🇪
🎟️ museum hopping + design fairs
☕️ lots of coffee + stillness
🌿 nature like a deep breath

i never talk about this part of solo travel.
the fear. the hesitation. the long pause before stepping out of a hotel room, even in a city i know and love, like paris.

you don’t have to be new somewhere for it to feel unfamiliar.

and you don’t have to be fearless to be brave.

so i’m putting on my leather jacket, and i’m stepping out anyway, we can always override fear ♥️ 2025-09-05 23:27:06 i never talk .. 50 -58% 6 -61%
🎉 on my birthday (today) i am beginning my unplanned plan; a series about leaving behind what no longer fits and choosing freedom instead.

there’s an arabic proverb that says you don’t truly know someone until you travel with them, deal with them in money, or live with them. but here’s what i’ve learned: you don’t truly know yourself until you travel alone.

for a month and a half, i lived without a plan. no fixed route, no checklist, just intuition. from cobblestone streets in paris, to blue skies in amsterdam, to music in barcelona, i realized that my quiet inner voice isn’t weakness. it’s my soul, and it’s guiding me toward a full body shift.

i’m turning 34 today, and with that, i’m shedding skins. i’m no longer sharing interiors. i’m sharing becoming. i want to live in paris, in the 7e, with the eiffel tower in my window and a croissant on my desk. i want to write a new chapter, in a new language of self.

so follow me, not for mood boards, but for freedom. not for furniture, but for a life that finally fits. this is the beginning of my unplanned plan.

🥐 bon anniversaire to me, let’s begin.

✨ 11 years in interior design taught me one thing: your energy shapes your project outcome. ✨

When a client micromanages, rushes, and stresses over every detail, somehow everything takes longer, costs more, and feels messier. But when a client trusts you, gives you space, and stays easy-going? Subhanallah — orders arrive early, discounts appear out of nowhere, and the whole process flows.

It’s not magic, it’s mindset. The same is true in life: relax, trust the process, and doors will open for you. The more you grip, the more it slips — the more you let go, the smoother it goes.

هذا بفضل الله الحمد لله 🤍 34 kilos down. a lighter body, a heavier truth.
i filmed this 16 days after returning from a month and a half in europe. it took me a while to sit down and say it out loud: i’m proud of myself.
since december, i’ve lost 34 kg on mounjaro. i can cross my legs now. i can wrap a towel around myself. i feel lighter. i move easier. i’m starting to see it…
and yet, the mirror still argues.
this is body dysmorphia — when your mind hasn’t caught up with your reality.
this journey isn’t about cheating or shortcuts. it’s about showing up, even when nauseous. it’s about unlearning decades of coping through food. it’s about becoming the woman i’ve always been inside.
if you’re on this path too: you are not alone.
sending love from this post-work, unironed-shirt version of me.

what’s in my bag: paris edition 👜💭

a lipstick with a mirror, an unopened toothbrush (don’t ask), butt wipes (please ask), a bullet journal filled with street sketches and thoughts, and the power bank that’s saved lives. oh, and receipts. so many receipts.

this is everything i carry with me while wandering paris part survival kit, part soft girl starter pack.

because in this city, it might rain, you might cry, someone might compliment your vest, and there’s always magic in the details ✨

ps. yes, i pack my own trash. romanticizing your life doesn’t mean littering 🥖

sometimes when you love something so deeply, it loves you right back.

i asked for a red cup, and got one. ☕️ ♥️
a policeman literally called me (trop belle) (very beautiful) (sorry ali, but it was sweet).
and today, i sat in front of sacré-cœur with a cappuccino that tasted like a wish granted.

you don’t always have to chase it.
sometimes it comes to meet you; if you let yourself emit the kind of energy you wish to receive.

paris, je t’aime.

📝 journal entry: paris, july 2025

here’s something no one warns you about:
joy will break your heart too.

you’ll find yourself in the middle of something beautiful,
a chapter you once prayed for,
a version of your life that feels light, full, and just right,
and out of nowhere comes the ache.

because deep down, you know it’s fleeting.
you know it won’t last forever.

that’s exactly where i am right now.
happy. grateful. and completely heartbroken.
because i’m leaving soon.
and leaving a place where you finally felt like you belong… that hurts.

but even inside the sadness, there’s light.
the memory of everything i lived.
the beauty i got to witness.
the warmth of returning to the people i love.
and yes, the claws of my cat, too.

it’s never just one feeling, is it?
it’s all of them. all at once.
joy. ache. gratitude. goodbyes.

maybe that’s what living fully really means,
letting it all be there without numbing any of it.

alhamdulillah for the joy.
alhamdulillah for the ache.
alhamdulillah for it all.
because both remind me:
i’m alive. 2025-07-15 22:02:20 .. 129 +9% 10 -34%
what if your roots had no soil?

born in one country.
raised in another.
lived in a third.
and somehow… felt most at home in a city your parents never even stepped foot in.

i’ve never felt patriotic in the traditional sense.
my parents were syrian and jordanian.
i was born in kuwait.
we moved to syria.
then the uae — where i still live, and where they’re now buried.
and i’m endlessly grateful for the life i’ve built in dubai.
it’s safe, stable, and beautiful.
a privilege i never take lightly.

but paris?
paris is something else.

the first time i came, i wanted to leave.
now, every time i return, i feel like i’m arriving home.
i don’t even speak the language fluently (yet).
but i’m learning. out of love. out of duty. out of belonging.

maybe some of us aren’t meant to belong to a flag or a passport.
maybe our loyalty is to feelings, not borders.
to cities that welcome us like old friends.
to places that change us without asking for anything in return.

if you’ve ever felt this too —
like you belong everywhere and nowhere all at once —
tell me below. i’d love to know i’m not the only one.

i woke up craving waffles 🧇. so i crossed a border.

zero plans. one tote bag. ten euros.
left paris in the morning, had life-altering waffles in brussels by noon.
got lost. got found. almost missed my bus back. worth every crumb.
this is your sign to go for the plot 📖 even if it’s sticky with chocolate🍫 .

🧇 belgium, you were a dream.

life lately?
30+ kilos down (shoutout to my girl mounjaro), long walks like i’m training for a rom-com 😆 but don’t worry, my heart ♥️(and gaze) belong to my husband ali_skhalid 🤍
a euro summer that doubled as emotional rehab.
learning to feel safe in my own skin again, with a few “wait, that’s me?!” mirror moments.
alhamdulillah for the glow-up, the peace, and the extra space in airplane seats 🤍

if you’ve been wishing for days like these, if you’ve ever felt a pinch of jealousy over someone else’s highlight reel: i get it. i’ve been there.
so this is my prayer for you: may you get everything you’ve been quietly longing for, and may your joy come in even more beautiful ways than you imagined 🤍 2025-07-06 01:48:49 .. 149 +26% 17 +12%
