Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: the ULTIMATE muslimah self-care routine 🛁🫧 feminine habits, skincare, hygiene & discipline

Assalamu alaikum everyone, welcome back to my channel.

I hope you are all doing well inshallah.

Today's video is going to be about my self-care routine as a muslimah and a naqabi.

I feel like when people look at naqabis, they assume that like we don't do anything under the naqab and we don't have like a skincare routine or anything,

but that is so wrong.

This is covering the evidence.

There can be so much going on underneath our naqabs that I also feel like it's not talked about enough.

Unless you do have a really good skincare routine and you are taking care of your skin,

obviously, like, you know, you're gonna have that glowing, stunning skin.

I've never seen anyone do, like, a naqabi self-care video.

I just feel like this topic is not talked about enough

and I really want to have a chance to talk to you guys about it.

I have learned a thing or two from my own experience as being a naqabi for one year now.

I put on the naqab last February?

February 24th, 2025.

It was the first day of the second semester for my sophomore year in high school.

And I remember I put it on that day.

Oh my god, it was- I was so happy.

My teachers didn't recognize me and nobody did until I went up to them.

I just loved that day.

I remember that day, I felt so good.

You guys should take this as your sign to put on the naqab if you already haven't.

One of the most beautiful things about Islam is how cleanliness is already such a big part of our faith.

The Messenger of Allah has said that cleanliness is half of faith.

SubhanAllah, just take a moment to just think about that.

That is so insane to me how the Prophet has said that it is half of our faith.

Islam teaches us cleanliness through wudu, through usul, through taking care of ourselves, through personal hygiene, through taking care of our bodies.

So when I talk about self-care, I mean taking care of the body that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has trusted us with.

With that being said, let's get into the video.

The first thing I want to focus on is moral hygiene.

This is one of the biggest things that make me feel refreshed.

That includes brushing your teeth, flossing, scraping your tongue, using the CWAC.

Just something about having a clean mouth that makes you feel put together.

And I know as a kid, I like hated brushing my teeth.

Not that I'm not a kid anymore.

Obviously, I'm still a kid.

But I know like when I was younger, a lot of you guys were younger, hated brushing your teeth.

I don't know i just never liked brushing my teeth i

don't know why i i just i don't know i remember

i was watching this dentist on youtube would like react to

like videos of like people with like teeth falling out with like gum disease

and i remember watching that and i was like oh my god

that is so nasty like for people

that don't brush their teeth like literally their gums will start to swell up

and then you'll see like plaque plaque i think it's plaque

right plaque will start forming they will have food rot between their teeth for like days and weeks.

I remember saying that and I was just like yeah I don't want that.

It really scared me and I started taking care of my oral hygiene way more.

Even during that time I feel like I ignored flossing because I just thought brushing was enough.

But flossing your teeth is just as important.

Like brushing it doesn't get everything because you don't brush between your teeth right?

You brush the outside, the inside, top

and bottom you can't go between every teeth

so flossing will help get rid of anything that's stuck there beyond

that i love

that oral hygiene is something emphasized in our religion the prophet

sallallahu alayhi wasalam was using a siwak 1400 years ago has also said

that if i had not found it hard for my followers

or the people i would have ordered them to clean to clean their teeth with siwak for every prayer.

That already tells you a lot about oral hygiene.

Next is hydration.

I know everyone talks about water.

Every influencer, every self-care video, unfortunately, they are right.

Water is such an underrated self-care hack.

Honestly, I really need to drink more water as well.

It's talked about so enough, but I sometimes think that not everyone takes it seriously.

It's a very important thing, especially in skincare.

It will get rid of those pimples for sure, especially if you're trying to do weight loss helps a lot with

that as well dehydration can cause break out as energy drops sometimes you might even start feeling sluggish

if that makes sense i have definitely felt like i've experienced

that before and sometimes you think you just need more skin care

and like the expensive skin care

that everybody talks about in reality all you need is water one thing you should always prioritize

is keeping water nearby you throughout the day um you can

also buy like a water bottle i have a 40 i

think this is 40 ounces you can buy really any water bottles make sure to fill it up

and keep it nearby you know just drink it every once in a while and regular water bottles work too but

come on guys save the world can't you like recycle plastic and like people they do stuff with it

Now let's talk skincare.

I love skincare.

I feel like it's something I do whenever I need to relax.

Like skincare is my relax thing.

I mean, I do keep it pretty simple though.

All these influencers do it, you know, just for the content.

Obviously, they don't actually have a 20-step skincare routine.

Unless they do, I would be surprised.

All you really need is cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and consistency.

Learn that having consistency is much more important than having 30 other skincare products.

Social media definitely makes you feel like sometimes you need a 12-step skincare routine.

But I promise you, they're just doing it for the content.

The best thing I've done is just staying consistent with the basic things.

I think this applies to, like, life in general.

Sometimes we think we need crazy, dramatic, exaggerated transformations.

But most transformations come from small actions repeated consistently.

The same way our skin improves with consistency, the same way our relationship with Allah improves with consistency,

Our habits improve through consistency.

Small things regularly have way more impact than bigger things done occasionally.

By the way, I forgot to mention my skincare that I use currently.

I use the 345.

100

This is the viral cream that's like all over TikTok.

101

And it's been about a week, I would say.

102

But it's been pretty good so far.

103

I've had pimple scarring for quite a while and I'm starting to see them go away which is good.

104

I also used this sunscreen.

105

This is really good.

106

I love this sunscreen so much.

107

I use SPF 50 which is what you want especially in the summer when the sun is screaming.

108

Last summer I was wearing this sunscreen right like every day I would wear it every day.

109

It was going really good.

110

One day I forgot to put it on so I left my house

111

and I come home right like at the end of the day I come home from school.

112

I take off my naqab and I look in the mirror and there's literally a tan.

113

I'm not even joking.

114

It's literally still there.

115

You guys can't see it but it is still there and

116

although it's not as visible I it was low-key embarrassing because imagine just having like a random like line on your nose.

117

Sunscreen is definitely very important for that.

118

I have a friend that gets tanned very easily

119

and she's hijabi this part of it was like darker than

120

the rest of her skin it was kind of funny

121

but yeah i also used this one this one i don't use every day

122

but you don't have to make it like super complex or anything

123

so that's just something to keep in mind now for hair care this one is especially for my fellow hijabis

124

and naqabis just because nobody sees your hair or your face doesn't mean you neglect it.

125

And I can definitely say that sometimes some of us we fall for the mindset

126

that oh no one's gonna see it anyway but we shouldn't only take care of ourselves when other people are watching.

127

Our bodies are an amanah from Allah.

128

So definitely still try to oil your hair, take care of your scalp, avoid excessive heat, and make sure your hair is healthy underneath your hijab.

129

I feel like a lot of hijabis

130

and ex-hijabis have spoken about the reason why they took off their hijab

131

or they want to take off their hijab it's

132

because their hair is falling out definitely try investing in better quality um under caps and hijabs

133

and naqabs this one is made out of wool chiffon i

134

believe it's very breathable very lightweight um i almost never break

135

out in this alhamdulillah i love these naqabs a lot for

136

under caps i would recommend buying silk under caps You can literally just find some on AliExpress, Shein, or Timu for like $2.

137

I know how expensive buying it in the US or the UK can be.

138

Talking about naqabs, I have a little surprise coming for you guys.

139

Definitely not anytime soon, but it's in the process, okay?

140

I think I already gave you kind of a hint, but I am very excited myself.

141

Anyways, going back to hair care.

142

um yeah

143

so try investing in good quality undercaps um i know i did say to purchase some from like aliexpress

144

but honestly they have some pretty good like silk undercaps i'm

145

not even gonna lie it might be a little more than like the usual undercap pricing

146

but it's like like i think it's like five dollars

147

or something i'll put links in description in if in case i find any

148

Another thing to prioritize is showering and taking care of your body.

149

I know this sounds obvious,

150

but I genuinely think that showering can reset your entire day, especially morning showers.

151

There have been days where I felt tired, but after taking a quick shower, I started feeling normal, I started feeling me again.

152

Don't get me wrong, showering will not remove your problems, but it will definitely help you feel refreshed enough to deal with them.

153

There is something about feeling clean that affects your mood, your energy, everything.

154

The things you use in your self-care routine is also very important.

155

Exfoliating is really good, especially because it removes that dead skin that's been on your body for a long time.

156

Hijab itself needs care too.

157

Washing your hijabs regularly, washing your undercaps, keeping everything organized, making sure everything smells fresh,

158

rotating pieces so you're not wearing the same thing every day.

159

All of those things make a huge difference.

160

If you're a naqabi, you already know how quickly your naqabs can pile up to be getting washed

161

and I wish someone told me that earlier.

162

Another part of self-care for me is movement.

163

You know, it doesn't have to be crazy.

164

You don't have to run on the treadmill for like an hour long.

165

You can just go out for a little walk.

166

You can do a little bit of stretching, getting outside, fresh air.

167

Sometimes we underestimate how much our bodies need movement.

168

Even like these past few days, I've been inside because it's been like so hot outside.

169

It's all like 80s and 90s pretty much this week.

170

I forgot in the US we use Fahrenheit.

171

I know we're the only country that does that.

172

Imagine you're going out and you're like, hey guys, it's 10 degrees Celsius.

173

Like that's so weird.

174

Spending days indoors can definitely affect your energy

175

and your mood that's a reminder

176

that taking care of our health doesn't always require something extreme or complicated or anything like that

177

now let's talk about sleep because no skincare product can change chronic exhaustion exhaustion exhaustion

178

Is that how you say it?

179

Exhaustion.

180

Sleeping well will literally change your entire life.

181

But literally, sleeping well will literally change your entire day.

182

Your mood, your focus, your skin, your productivity, your energy, and yet sleep is the first thing we sacrifice.

183

Sometimes we stay up scrolling, watching videos, checking messages, telling ourselves we're going to sleep five minutes later, and the next thing we realize, it's two in the morning.

184

One thing I've been trying to work on is creating a night routine

185

that will help me stay productive and prioritizing my rest because resting is also just as important.

186

The other day I had a final for pre-calc okay it

187

was really bad I mean not bad meaning like I had

188

to study like the day before it was on a Monday

189

and I studied until four in the morning basically until fudger I only had like one hour of sleep

190

and I noticed I literally noticed how like slow I was

191

that day I just like didn't know what was going on I remember like texting my friends when I got home.

192

I was so tired, but I was texting them

193

and I was just saying stuff that didn't make sense and I was just like, what is wrong with me?

194

Like why am I being weird?

195

Like what?

196

And then I realized I really needed to sleep so I did nap like the entire day.

197

Now we're getting to what I think is the most important part about self-care and that is spiritual self-care.

198

There have been days where everything just looked fine.

199

I've done my skincare, my room was clean

200

but internally I just felt dead and that's when I realized that sometimes the self-care isn't needing another product.

201

It's Quran, it's Dikr, it's making Dura, remembering why I'm here, to remembering what my purpose is.

202

I currently am in a fifth class.

203

I also try to do my morning etka and my evening etka.

204

Evil eye is real.

205

I actually have a very crazy story time on how my

206

closest friend in high school literally like tried giving me evil eye.

207

That's for another time but literally it was crazy.

208

I'm grateful that it even happened because it's taught me a lot about friendships

209

and to always be careful with who you are close to because you literally never know like what someone is thinking.

210

You could have the closest friend that's sitting right next to

211

you just for her to like be jealous of you and then like do something behind your back.

212

May Allah protect all of us from people like that.

213

Taking care of your heart is just as important as taking care of your body.

214

Actually it's even more important because our body ages but the state of our hearts affect everything.

215

Our worship, our relationships, our character, our peace.

216

And when your heart is being taken care of, everything else just becomes so much more easier.

217

So the last thing I want to talk about is keeping a clean environment.

218

A clean room, a clean desk, a clean space.

219

Our environments affect us more than you realize.

220

Whenever my space is messy, my mind just feels messy too whenever i have to study

221

and i see i have a messy desk it just makes

222

me not want to study at all having a clean space will really help change

223

that you know because whenever something's clean you know you don't want to ruin it

224

and you just want to be in that area

225

because who wants to be in like a dirty trash area

226

with like rats new york is like known for like the rats guys i don't know why

227

but literally like i feel like the rats are cute like

228

are they not i literally love the subway rats i can't believe i'm saying this

229

but i love the subway rats they're just

230

so cute like they're just there running around looking for food

231

even though they probably got like some crazy disease yeah anyways

232

i try to do a room reset like every sunday i feel like sunday is like a reset day

233

and that is my self-care and hygiene tips as a muslimah

234

and a nifabi it's not perfect it's not aesthetic these are things

235

that help me

236

and can help you feel refreshed intentional goal is not perfection

237

it's not looking flawless it's not looking pretty on the outside

238

you have to look pretty on the inside as well you

239

know you should always try to look your best the goal

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
