UNLOCKING THE GLOW: THREE REASONS TO WEAR A SHEET MASK ONCE A WEEK

For most people, sheet masks are a beauty weapon.  But for me, sheet masks are more than just beauty weapons. They are part of my self-care routine.  Wearing a sheet mask is one of my favorite self-care practices. It's a self-care routine I always look forward to. Yup, I love wearing a sheet mask once a week. I usually implement this self-care and beauty practice during weekend nights while relaxing and reading my favorite novel. It's very relaxing and calming. Plus, it gives me a cozy feeling.  One of my favorite sheet mask brands - Mediheal. I wrote a review of this product back in 2021. If you are looking to elevate your weekly self-care and beauty ritual without adding a complicated, multi-step hassle to your evening, the humble sheet mask is your secret weapon.  While the beauty world loves a "more is more" trend, giving your face a sheet mask just once a week is actually the perfect sweet spot. It delivers an intense shot of concentrated hydration without overw...

THREE REASONS WHY RAMADAN IS A GOOD MONTH TO PRACTICE SELF-LOVE

Eiyo Fadneiras, Welcome back to Fadima Mooneira. Since it's Ramadan now, I want to share with you guys a post related to the Islamic holy month. I'm going to share with you three reasons why Ramadan is a good month for all of us to practice self-love . Before I share with you the reasons, let me share a summary about Ramadan first ... Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is also known as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.  During Ramadan, we Muslims are required to fast from sunrise to sunset for one month. Fasting is a must for all Muslims except those who are sick, pregnant, lactating, menstruating, elderly, or traveling. Fasting means we aren't allowed to eat, drink, smoke cigarettes, or do sexual and sinful things from sunrise to sunset. Some of the reasons why we, Muslims, are required to fast during Ramadan is because it helps us to devote ourselves to faith, brings us closer to Allah SWT, and makes us learn to be patient and com...

Hehehe ^_^ In this post, I'll share my 2025 highlights and my hopes for the year ahead . Syukur alhamdulillah, 2025 was a good year for me, despite having ups and downs. Every year, there are always new achievements, experiences, lessons to be learned, and epiphanies. I'm grateful for everything. I hope 2026 will be a better year for all of us. Aamiin. Okay, let's not waste time and begin my 2025 highlights ... TRAVEL As an ordinary creative, travelling is a must for me. Besides joy, travelling also gives me motivation and inspiration to do my creative works. Plus, travelling heals my soul. In 2025, I had three domestic travels and one overseas travel. During September last year, my family and I went for a road trip in Kuantan. We went there for leisure and visited some new spots. Two weeks after returning from Kuant...
