hi! my name is iqra, and i have a love for all things cute, sparkly, and nostalgic. im 27, a cancer (libra moon + rising!), and i currently live with my husband and two monster cats in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. im happiest when surrounded by millions of stickers, arts and crafts supplies, and desserts!
my favorite creative hobbies:
digital + pixel art
traditional art (oil pastels, watercolor, colored pencils)
sewing, knitting, and crafting (i love making cute little things)
sticker journaling + stationery collecting (i own way too many stickers)
baking
writing (im trying my hand at a childrens chapter book series!)
my interests are a mix of childhood nostalgia and anything soft and girly. i love:
magical girl anime! (ojamajo doremi is my all time favorite)
shoujo anime/manga/manhwa
kdramas (especially the emotional ones)
nostalgic childrens tv shows (like strawberry shortcake, arthur, and winx club)
barbie & bratz movies
looking at girly toys + dolls at the store
afternoon tea (paris tea!!!)
ballet
fountain pens and sparkly inks
bakeries and used bookstores
listening to the same 5 songs over and over (lol)
fairy tales, princesses, and ball gowns
some of my absolute favorite things:
lychee flavored candy + drinks
chupa chup melon soda + pakola (a bright green cream soda from pakistan)
cinnamoroll + usahana
gummy candy
creme caramel
peonies, snowy winters, and soft light blue
sweet, floral, and citrus scents
fluffy chiffon cakes
cute letter sets
used watercolor palettes
i also love makeup, doing my own gel nails (usually covered in glitter), and skincare.
i can get very caught up in my interests and hobbies, however, and neglect my space, which quickly ends up with me having to deal with a huge mess
i tend to hyperfixate on one hobby, interest, and/or food for weeks and then suddenly switch to something else
