Every Saturday from 10-11am, I’m opening Driftwood doors for a Meditation and a Support Group dedicated for anyone who are dealing with anxiety, depression, health and any mental issues that you might be going through.
Many of us are facing a hard times right now. War is brewing in some part of the world. Economy is uncertain. Also things are moving and changing faster than ever. Future is unpredictable. All this can cause anxiety and stress. And some of us are still dealing with the stress & PTSD that COVID had on us.
Every one of us is some point of time has gone through or going through some challenges in their life. Some challenges are manageable in some scale but there are some that can be harder and difficult to deal. Sometimes things that you are going through might be difficult for others close to you to understand or capable in helping you. But there are ways to overcome and deal with these situations. One of the best way to get started in dealing with these challenges are to know that you are not alone.
Know that it is ok to be going though tough times. And most importantly, know that there is help out there.
The last couple of years I have been dealing with my own mental health Issues and I got through them with therapy, medication and re-learning how to navigate my emotions & thoughts. Im fortunate to have access to those help.
But what I’ve learned for the last year and a half of living here in Langkawi, is that there isn’t much support that you can get here.
I would like to offer a safe space and a place to find resources for mental health aid. With my back ground of Managerial Psychology & a certified Meditation practitioner I like to extend a helping hand to anyone out there who might need some help or just someone to talk too.
Mediation has help me and many people all over the world who are struggling with mental health issues.
I would like to assist and coach to anyone who might be in need of help or just interested to lea

Last weekend at #vegfest2023 at the Paradigm Mall, I was given the opportunity to talk about things that really means a lot to me. Veganism & mental health awareness. Thank you @veghub.my for getting the community together spreading love and compassion. Most of all, having all those amazing vegan food Plantbased options for people to see & get free samples. We don’t just eat grass and salad ya 🌱
Plantbased and reducing the amount of meat you consume is the BEST way to combat climate change and give our planet for a brighter chance of survival.
Better life for the future generations!
Also in the topic of mental health, in 2019 it was reported that 1 out of 8 people either suffers from depression, anxiety and other mental health problems. After COVID those numbers soared higher and many anticipated.
We have to start being able to talk about it without stigma. It is an invisible disease and many suffers in silence.
There’s help out there! 🙏
Anyways in the meantime continue to be kind to yourself and to others - especially towards the animals 🐮& our home - mother Earth 🌍
Thanks @diyanavegana for the vid clip 🙏

This isn’t my dog but he comes here almost everyday to come and sit ( mostly sleep & do his doggie stretches - seen him dreaming too ) at my shop. He’s a gentle boy and has been very chill when he’s around me. He has become a bit over protective with the area. Starting to chase cats, other dogs and even pigeons that comes near my shop or his feeding station. ( was made for the cats but he seems to be happy eating away all the cat food )
Anyways if you do stop by at @driftwoodlangkawi and sees this little mutt, don’t be frightened. He’s very tame. I can easily ask him to move his lazy butt out the shop! ( he’s also well manicured - someone else in the neighborhood must have been looking after this boy too - )
I’m not gonna name him. Don’t want to be attached. He might belong to someone else. So far he pretty much listened to me very well. He’s a smart one.
He does scare Samantha though. Poor kitty. She’s not happy that her space is being invaded with this ‘stinkin’ mongrel!

And don’t forget, cold-press coconut oil is also good for your fur companions.
Dogs & Cats

Got a new product to try! A refillable deodorant from Prana Natures. @prananatures
I’m very skeptical with deodorants. I sweat profusely. Since I was young. Like a lot. I sweat even more when the humidity is high. Living in #islandlangkawi , well you can’t stop sweating.
I’ve give this product a try and I’m very impressed. Non sticky easy to apply and the fragrance last for hours. And most of all it keep me from s*inkin up all day with just one application. This doesn’t stop me from sweating ! And it’s fine- sweating is normal- trying to stop your body from doing it’s natural function is not right!
Some people think smelling o natural is good - but I just can’t! That’s just me! I like to smell nice especially when I’m out and about and at the gym!
What’s amazing this is a refillable product. Save the the environment and keep our home trash free.
These are NO nasty chemicals. No aluminum ~No sodium bicarbonate ~ No paraben !
Made with all natural products!
What do you think ?
Would you swap your regular deodorant for this ?

Ramadan is coming up and Eid will be right in the corner. What’s better to celebrate Puasa month with boxes of Kuih Raya. We have a few boxes of Biskut Raya all ready - Mazola & Makmur.
These biscuits are originally vegan - but as time passes many had in begin adding non Plantbased ingredients in them. For whatever reasons. But this one’s are purely Plantbased and how our grandmas used make them. Kampung style.
Have a wonderful day!
