Why I am not blogging

Someone asked me why I am not blogging as much anymore these days so I thought I'd just explain it in a post. 

When I started blogging 5 years ago I did not wear the hijab and there were very few hijabi bloggers out there. I started it as a way to encourage myself to put it on more than anything else. When I saw comments and visits on my posts I thought it was pretty cool and I just carried on for a couple of years, during which time I finally put on the hijab. 

The main point of this blog was about hijab fashion and I feel I have covered a lot of ground over 5 years that there isn't much left for me to blog about. In addition there are now so many hijabi bloggers and YouTubers and Instagramers out there that the market has changed and become saturated and my interest in it all has plummeted. As well as growing in number, what people want from fashion sites these days are selfies and OOTDs and food pictures - there is nothing wrong with this but they are things that don't interest me. I actually tried setting up an Instagram and posted a few things on there but I felt like it's not me. 

I thought about making the blog more personal and just posting about random things that happen to me but I wasn't sure if anyone would actually find this interesting. I also considered making it just about Islamic subjects but was also unsure. I'm in a bit of a predicament about which direction I should steer this blog and as a result have just abandoned it all together. 

I will try to blog more often, but I'm just not sure what about :S

10 things that Arab parents do

They're awesome but they can do some odd things at times..

1. They insist on wrapping the TV remote controls in cling film.  

2. They break an egg onto new things. This can be anything from a new washing machine to a laptop to a car. If it hasn't been smeared in a bit of raw egg, something bad will happen to it. 

3. If you miss a couple of your mum's calls, she'll convince herself that you're either dead, kidnapped or in a hospital bed somewhere. 

4. They will get offended when you correct their English and continue to use the wrong pronunciation, sometimes I think deliberately.. 

5. They will never let you go to sleepovers or school trips that last longer than a day. 

6. They think it's strange and foreign that someone would ever study anything unrelated to science. And if you do, you might as well not go to university. 

7. They're casually racist and see absolutely nothing wrong with it when you question them about it. Politically correct is not something in their vocabulary.

8. The men love loudly arguing over discussing politics and religion at any kind of get-together.

9. Arab mums make the best food ever. And you best make sure you remind them of this at every dinner.

10. They're about as likely to let you marry a non-Arab as they are to letting you buy a non-German car. Highly unlikely. 

Well, that's just my parents but I'm pretty sure a lot of Arab parents do these things too. Of course this is just a bit of fun - I love them very much :)

This date combination won't happen again for another 90 years.

I have nothing to blog about right now, but I obviously have to post something on such a memorable day, so here's a pretty picture :D

...clearly I never got around to getting a life since my last 'exciting date combination' post back on 12/12/12.. 

"And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance. Verily, you can neither rend the earth, nor reach the mountains in height."
