Hello, Again

Hell dear friend, it’s been a while.

In my defense, in between the pandemic, giving birth and poor exporting skills- I have lost the poor 5-10 blog entries I have written in the last 4 years.

It might not sound like much but those were important years because that’s when I had given birth to North and those were messy times- times that I wish I wrote more about.

But that’s ok, life goes on and so must we.

Funnily enough, it’s not a resolution of mine to start blogging again but something in me, like instinct, brought me back here. It’s almost like my body has been programmed to sit in front of a keyboard on New Year’s Eve and just…write. And so that’s what I’m doing tonight.

Paolo is sick, North is asleep (either that or they’re telling bedtime stories 😍), the dishwasher is running and I am sitting down with a bottle of stale wine.

We weren’t supposed to be home tonight but plans changed and honestly, I’m not even mad about it. Actually, a lot of things didn’t go as planned today but I am at peace with it all and that’s huge coming from type A Issa.

So here I am, again. 21 years later still doing the same familiar things. I couldn’t be happier

Happy New Year,

Issa ♡

[AD] Online Shopping with BerryLook

I’ve been on lockdown for the last 2 months and let me tell you- I’ve been through all the emotions.

I recently decided to declutter my closet and once the ECQ has been liften, I plan on selling them and instantly replacing them with these cheap clothes online that I’ve been eyeing for the last few weeks.

Honestly, online shopping has definitely kept my thoughts at bay. It’s helped me cope and look forward to all the places I can’t wait to wear these pieces at!


Aside from the cheap dresses online, I’ve also been looking for a lot of other stuff such as shoes!


I think these pieces are super cute and stylish and I can’t wait to see if they will go great with my existing pieces.

Moreover, I’d really like to see if the quality is good or not. So I guess we’ll just have to see!

Check out their website for more amazing looks!

i aint’t shit

i’ve been feeling like absolute shit lately. i don’t even know what i’ve been running on anymore.

i’m unhappy. i’m uninspired. but i keep acting like i’ve got it all together. for who? i don’t need to fucking impress anyone at this point. i don’t have kids i need to pretend to be strong for. my husband doesn’t need me to be strong.

if i wanted to cry on the fucking bathroom floor, i could.

so here i am. lying in bed. just crying  my eyes out feeling like i’m never gonna be the person i need to be.

feeling like i’m a constant disappointment and like i ain’t shit.

it’s nice actually.

to be able to admit that to myself.

Waist Training with FeelinGirl

Ever since my first feature with FeelinGirl, I’ve been growing more and more curios about waist trainer for women. For some reason, every time I think of them- I imagine Kim Kardashian. I’ve been doing my research on them (still) and while I’m not completely sold on the thought of using a waist trainer just yet, if I did ever consider using one, I’d definitely choose this one.

I’ve always been a fan of teal and so scrolling through their selection, this one definitely caught my eye.


So since I’m not completely convinced on getting waist trainers, I decided to take a look at their shapewear shorts instead. I was pretty impressed with the options that they offered because they all looked like they were made with great quality.

I’ve definitely found myself in shapewear before and I appreciate how they give me that extra boost of confidence. While I do urge all of us to eventually have the confidence to strut our bodies without a shaper- I respect women who finding themselves more comfortable in one. And so, I’m sharing this interesting piece with all of you!

I’m pretty interested in the best waist trainer from FeelinGirl because the pieces they offer all look so great!

What do you ladies think about waist trainers & body shapers? Would you suggest them? Would you encourage them? Let me know how you feel!

Cheap Dresses with Callabuy

I’ve been on the lookout lately for cheap clothes for women. While online shopping isn’t really an option for me to take advantage of right now, I can only assume how the economy will be after we make it out of this. Having said that, I still want to be able to wear cute clothes but definitely pieces that don’t break bank but still allow me to look cute and fashionable.

Thus, my obsessive online shopping lately.

I’ve been looking a lot at fashion dresses especially those that would look good in my Bayhana videos. I just think it would be so cute to go out again in cute, sophisticated dresses like the ones that I’ve picked out today.

Luckily Callabuy has a pretty good selection of pieces to choose from, depending on your style. I wish they were a little younger, if I’m being completely honest but if it’s practical outfits- this is definitely the place you should be checking out!

Check Callabuy out noow!

Shop smart!

Online Shopping with Ninacloak.com

With the current lockdown I’m left here, day in and day out on my laptop. Hours on end of nonstop scrolling. I’ve kind of run out of things to do that I’ve ended up searching for cute clothing even if there’s not really anywhere to go nowadays. In a way, it’s been therapeutic because I look at the clothes and imagine myself wearing them somewhere, someday and it gives me a sense of hope which is something I’ve been needing a lot of lately.

It’s a bit odd to be looking for tops online, especially at a time like this but I can’t deny that these pieces are still really cute and i would love to be able to own these pieces one day. Either that or just being able to look at them has brought me immense joy.

Ninacloak has a lot of interesting pieces. I have my eye on a couple pieces, especially the ones that I highlighted in this post. While I do find some of their pieces a bit dated, they’re still great for a sunny summer day or a casual day out and I still think anyone can pull these pieces off.

Check them out at Ninacloak.com!
