Embrace 2024 with Exciting Hobbies: Unleashing Your Passion for a Fulfilling Year!

I feel what we lack as Pakistanis is creativity and productivity. We are so used to our routines and involvement in other people's lives and being dependent on others for emotional fulfillment. We lack contentment and fulfilment within our beings. We depend on others or look at others to find that contentment which rarely ever comes. Hobbies are a good way to occupy yourselves and helping to find that soul nourishment and commitment from within. As we step into the dawn of a new year, there's no better time to explore and cultivate hobbies that add vibrancy and fulfillment to our lives. Whether you're looking for relaxation, creativity, or a new skill to master, here's a curated list of hobbies to consider for a delightful 2024. Your hobbies don't have to be limited to these only, this list is just a starter for you to consider. 

Yearly Round Up of Empties of 2023

As another year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the countless products that have made their way through my daily routine. From skincare staples to makeup must-haves, each empty container tells a story of its own.  I embarked on a journey of mindful consumption and conscious purchasing, aiming to strike a balance between indulgence and restraint. Join me as I delve into the products I've used, loved, and bid farewell to over the past year.
