this summer is all about catching up on ‘missed experiences’. as the daughter of a refugee single mom, i spent most of my summers indoors, reading or coloring or helping my mom and aunt with daily tasks. away from the world. that said, i missed out on quintessential pacific northwest things like camping, hiking, berry picking, and more. thus, this summer, i am dedicating time to play ‘catch up’ to fulfill plenty of firsts. a huge thank you to ksenia and her mum for bringing me out with them!
it was always the idea of summer that captivated me – not the heat or the sun, but the call to explore, the freedom from structures that dominated most of my time, the now free time i had to myself, to my curiosity, to my loved ones. but i could never, in a thousand summers, get tired of this. last week, you saw me go camping for the first time ever, and this time around, an old friend and i go berry picking. ihis summer, i choose to do things i’ve never done as a kid- i choose to live.
stay tuned for more summer fun and adventure! don’t forget to comment suggestions you have for my #summer2018 ✨

hi, roedah mansour (ra-ee-da man-sur aka row-ee-da) here ✨
i’m a creature of comfort and live in nostalgia out of habit, so here’s to sharing snippets of my life in a way where we can both hit replay!
the channel ‘roedah’ (effectively named after yours truly) is the product of my daydreams and whims: wisps of positivity to break up mundane days and toxic thoughts, swept into air by epiphanies and a little bit of prose. stay tuned for day-to-day moments, beauty in the little things, #selfcare, #selflove and self help. we’re all in on this journey together seeking growth and chocolate and all things good.
(also stay tuned for food, hijab fashion (i’ll try at your request), travel and anime soundtracks in my vlogs, sprinkled in between everything above!)
