When my alarm goes on, I don’t snooze. I get up, feed the cats, clean their sand, then brush teeth, shower, shave my legs and armpits.

Today while I was on the metro (tunnelbana, in Swedish) I was thinking that growing up was not an easy thing. Hahahaha don’t grow up guys!!

In my family I had to fight and stand up for my rights, for equality and for being a curious human, for example I was the last to ride a bike because my father taught my brother and depended on him to teach me, but that never happen till my dad realized that my younger sister and rest of my friends can cycle except me.

I was a very quite kid that it was shocking to my family that the quite girl is rebelling against all the rules. I decided to follow my dreams.

I come from Egypt and “NO” my family are not that open minded as many think or might take for granted because of my lifestyle.

Before the age of fifteen I knew that my dream was not to find the Prince Charming but, to build a career, develop my studies and be an independent girl/woman.

Be Bold: Your mind is strong so don’t be afraid to say NO. I said that to myself over and over again till I said NO!!

I paid the price of choosing a different road than the traditional one, I was hurt, but I grow up and never regretted choosing that way.

When people ask me, would you do it again if the time goes back?!

YESSSSS, I would choose the same road without hesitation, because every single mistake and every single success built the woman I’m today.

Despite all the moments that apparently made me adult, turning 30 (I’m 32 years old) can be frightening because it is about the “now” or “never” moments.

Of course there is nothing such as never but it is all about how we were raised up, how we grow old before living our youth moments.

The age of 30 is when most of people expect you to be a wife or mother, it all about the moment you dress in white.

Being a wife, being a mom, or even choosing to share a life with a partner is a choice and not having kids doesn’t make you less. Some people choose to raise kids and others (like me) choose to raise cats and sometimes dogs or  even fluffy rabbits 😉

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF & BE YOU!! J

LIFE REBOOT

It is too early for a New Year resolution but this week I wanted to start with some positive vibes which can transform my life routine.

I shake things up and make some tiny changes because sometimes the biggest transformations begin with the smallest steps.

Yes I always start my working day by replying emails and reaching to the world around me. But today I’m identifying the one BIG THING that I need to achieve before I go home. It is all about prioritizing my tasks and putting some of things on the top.

Jasmine ElnadeemJasmine ElnadeemAlso I’m going home to perp meals to store in the fridge. Cooking some brown rice, boiling eggs for breakfast. Oh how much I miss my breakfast egg.

In the night I will be moving my night cream from the bathroom to next to my bed because with the cold weather my skin needs more hydration.

I won’t forget to organize my workout for the week. Training can always help my mind to rest & relax.

In the end it is all about breathing, so breath, drop your body to the floor, relax and rest.

Love, J

Cycling Throw Stockholm

Finally I took my bicycle and took a ride from Bromma till Gamla Stan.

OH YEAH BABY, You already have more willpower than you think.

Cardio can be your true love if you find your fitness match.

I’m no runner though I used to run for some years but never loved running.

I choose to cheat on my routine occasionally.

Lately I found happiness when I grab hold of the handlebar of bicycle and hit the road.

It is no secret that riding torches calories, tones your legs and it is easier on your joints than running.

It all started when I started cycling with the Urban Ride indoors and now I’m cycling also outdoors.

When I feel anxious, I get panic attacks which are not fun. I found that riding takes my mind away even if it is for 45 min. It boosts my mood and strength my positive thoughts.

What about you? What is your favorite type of cardio?!

LOVE, J
