About

Hi! I'm Raeesa :)

A millennial unlearning life's traditional ways to live a better and simpler life. 

Here's some info to get to know me!

I'm a pharmacist by degree, a manufacturing manager by experience and a creator by passion. I love music, adventuring, trying new things, creating delicious meals, capturing moments in video and experiencing culture in travels. I find immense joy in the small things in life such as my morning coffee, watching the sun rise and cooking my own meals. I love all things mental well-being and am an advocate for living holistically. 

Growing up, there was always one consistency to everything I’ve done - and that was to be simple. Simple in the quantity of clothing and the type of technology I owned, simple in the foods I ate; and as I grew older, simplicity in the way I lived.

A Simple Life was created to share that energy with the world. From lifestyle, to foods, holistic well-being, planning and living life one day at a time.

It’s how One Day at a Time was born. As a lover of stationery, I struggled to find planners and diaries that worked for me throughout school, university and in a corporate role. So I decided to create my own range. A range that emphasises my go to philosophy to have big goals and dreams, but to take things one day at a time. Because life is too precious to not.

Nouraesh was created to share simple vegetarian recipes that I wished I had access to when I first started eating this way 6 years ago! Simple, easy and delicious are the fundamentals in my cooking style. Along with affordable, balanced and nutritious. 

This brings me to the well-being aspect of the website. We only have one life and one body to look after. To me, well-being is not just whether you're physically and mentally in a state of good health. It's a journey of self-discovery, self-awareness and self-love.  It's the foods you eat for the love of your mind, body and soul (nutritious and not so nutritious). It's who you surround yourself with and how you manage your stress. It's finding contentment in life.

Thank you so much for visiting this site, and I hope simplicity brings you peace in your everyday life.
