Just another heavily caffeinated, bloomin’ Brit (not behaving badly) abroad with AuDHD, fixations galore and a whole lot of plants, paws & dusty, desert dreams.Keep wandering with me for more ↓
This was my first morning in Egypt after booking a one-way ticket, the day before, for a sunshine break... and somehow I've ended up relocating here solo in my 30s, on a whim, which still feels mildly unhinged, tbh.Since then, life has mostly been filled with:
• creative-cosy- chaos
• hyper-fixations
• pandering to dramatic seedlings
• feeding #TheStrayFurBubbas
... and trying to bloom without completely losing my (marbles & plant) pots - which in the Red Sea Coastal wind, is quite the achievement, if I may say so myself.Thank you for passing by...
I hope you'll stick around for a cup of luxe!Peace, Love & Happiness,
Tea xo
Warning:if you’re here for perfection,
this is your cue to exit the desert - either on a camel or in an uber - they’re usually parked next to each other.
Just a lil' note about gifts...So ummmm, treating me to Seedlings & Serotonin is admittedly… not the most straight-forward of processes.Because my wishlist lives on Amazon EG, you lovelies who are outside of Egypt cannot usually purchase from it directly without extortionate postage costs attached. Urgh.Instead, might I suggest you do the following:1. Browse my Amazon Wishlist
2. Send a tip to my PayPal with a note
stating what you'd like to treat me to...Sozzles for the inconvenience. I appreciate you!
Thank you so much to those of you who have treated me (and #TheStrayFurBubbas) to the gifts above, cash tips/ donations and for all the will-wishes sent on my new adventure.
After somehow lugging 96kg of my arts & craft chaos across continents, surviving customs fees that nearly cost a kidney & navigating the never-ending saga of sourcing supplies in Egypt… Reasons Greetings will finally be reopening again soon ✨For those who might be new around these ways; I have a small bespoke wreath-making business... and often
create them live on TikTok.The name “Reasons Greetings” is a lil’ twist on “Season’s Greetings” because I firmly believe life gives us endless reasons to celebrate - not just Christmas. My wreaths are all about occasions, everyday joy, diversity, inclusivity & creating meaningful pieces that feel personal to you.If you are interested in a commission, feel free to pop me an email via the button below...
#DiaryOfAPotheadHabibtiSo thankful to have a lil’ balcony dedicated to therapeutic-but-chaotic gardening experiments... I’m absolutely obsessed with attempting to grow any & everything from seed for the first time in 34 years.Current plant babies:
• Sunflowers, Chinese Carnations, Bougainvillea, Lantana, Hollyhocks, Oleander, Hibiscus, Portulaca, Zinnias, Roses & Periwinkles
• Leggy Sweet Red Peppers, Watermelons & Fruit Trees (Blackberry, Pomegranate & Orange)
• Basil, Mint, Lavendula & RosemaryI had a lot more seedlings but they rudely passed away on me, so a fresh batch will be en route sometime soon.Upcoming Creations:
• Air clay bird feeders
• Homemade Epsom salts with dried flowers
• Homemade fertilisers
• Parasol upcycling
• Shade netting for seedlingsI’m hoping that with a pocket full of seeds, copious amounts of caffeine, a healthy dose of delusion & hose parties before 6am... almost anything can bloom.
If there's anything at all that you take from this lil' link tree,
I hope it will be to...
"Grow your own way."
Ciao for now! xo
