What is the difference between CNN and Al-Jazeera? What is the difference between CNN and Al-Jazeera? CNN shows the missiles taking off, and Al-Jazeera shows them landing. (Until they got blown up).🙄😫😢⁣ ⁣ Needed a distraction from my newsfeed, so played with my @danessa_myricks colours for this triple liner #kjhacademy l👀k! I can confirm it is as difficult as it looks. Literally had to do three winged liners on each eye! I really do love it though and I’m thinking of saving this for next eid! 😁 The colours I used for this looks are listed below:⁣ ⁣ Now that I have your attention, have you heard about the ethnic cleansing happening in Pal-estine right now? As of writing this, in the past week, 52 children and 31 women have been killed by Is*raeli forces. It’s not war it’s apartheid and genocide. I encourage you to poke around #freepalestine to educate yourself since the media and politicians won’t. The more we share and talk about it, the more the people in power will have to pay attention and do something about it!🤍🇵🇸⁣ ⁣ —-⁣ @danessa_myricks colours used on my eyes: Liner 1: Chocolate mixed with Lift⁣ Liner 2: Magnetic mixed with Lift⁣ Liner 3: Carrot Top mixed with Lift⁣ Phew!😅⁣ ⁣ Do you like?⁣

Beachy waves with a curling iron. By popular deman Beachy waves with a curling iron. By popular demand, here’s how I do my favourite beachy waves! 💁🏽‍♀️ I’m a curling iron gal all the way. Always have been. As much as I love a good blow out, I always come back to these waves. Here’s a few things that seem to work well for my thin, wavy, frizzy hair: ➡️ Brush/comb the hair in the shower while it has conditioner in it to detangle. I avoid brushing or combing wet hair once I’m out of the shower to avoid breakage. ➡️ Prep the hair well. I swear by @kristin_ess leave-in conditioner, thickening spray and blow dry mist. (Available in 🇨🇦 on @welldotca ) ➡️ Rough dry with a hair dryer (or air dry). I prefer to use the hair dryer just for the volume it gives, and I find my hair doesn’t get dirty as fast when I’ve blow dried it. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Make sure you point the hair dryer downward - in the direction the hair grows - to minimize frizz! ➡️ When hair is fully dry, use a large barrel curling iron to get those curls! With each section of hair, I use the curling iron to first ‘straighten’ it to get rid of any frizz and then curl it. It’s all in the technique here. It takes practice, but looks amazing if you can get it right! ➡️ I’ll use some Morrocan oil on day 2 or 3 to add some moisture back to my ends. But other than that, these waves will last me 3-4 days. They will loosen up a bit, but I don’t mind that. Feels like a different style every day! How often do you wash your hair? I wish I could go longer but my scalp (and psoriasis) won’t let me!😛 —- Products used: @tangleteezer - detangler @kristin_ess leave-in conditioner, thickening spray, blow dry mist and beach wave spray @t3micro curling iron with 1.5” barrel @dysonhair air wrap #blowdrystyle #blowdrytips #beachwaveshair #beachwavestutorial #selfcare #desiinfluencer #affordablebeauty #sephora #skincareblogger #hairfluencers #agepositive #thisis40 #silversister #greyhairdontcare #naturalbeauty #allnatural #torontoblogger #mississaugalife #browngirlblogger #brownskingirls #beachywaves #goodhairdays
Welcome to the first of my skincare 101 series! 🙌🏽 ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Every week I will pick one skincare ingredient or ‘buzz word’ and do a deep dive into the who, what and why so you can make a more informed decision of what may or may not work for your skin!🙌🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Starting with my favourite: Vitamin C! It is a superstar ingredient that almost everyone can benefit from. Swipe to see why!➡️⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ A few things to remember if you’re adding vitamin C to your daily routine:⁣ ⭐️ Less is more. Use a small blueberry-ish sized amount. And don’t over do it. Once a day or every other day before moisturizer is best.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⭐️ Always use an SPF! Otherwise you’re just wasting your $$$ as exposure to UV rays from the sun reduces the effectiveness of the vitamin C!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⭐️ Make sure it’s packaged in an airtight (dropper or pump) opaque (not see-thru) style packaging so it is kept away from air and direct sunlight. This will keep the ingredient as stable and effective as possible. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⭐️ While vitamin C is great for all skin types. Some can be quite sensitive. If that’s you, try a few different formulations to see what works for you!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Here’s a few I’ve liked so far:⁣ 👏🏽 @paulaschoice C15 super boost - L-ascorbic acid which my skin tolerated well and gosh that glow!✨⁣ 👏🏽 @drunkelephant C-firma Day Serum - another strong but effective one. I used the tiniest amount and it worked really well!⁣ 👏🏽 @summerfridays CC Me serum - my current vitamin C. Stay tuned for a full review!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⭐️ TL;DR: Vitamin C is an anti-aging superstar - it has three magical abilities: -antioxidant, collagen booster and skin brightener. If there was only one skincare product I would splurge on. This would be it. 👍🏽⭐️😁⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Have you tried vitamin C? Do you have a favourite? Let me know! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Which ingredient you want me to do next?😁
Happy mothers day to my mom, who definitely cannot Happy mothers day to my mom, who definitely cannot correctly describe what I do for a living! Love you mom!😘😉😘⁣ ⁣ Just taking a walk down memory lane today looking at old photos and found this perfect picture 💗😘😁. I always remember my mom being super stylish! At least I thought she was! 😁 Also can we talk about the decor and style in the late 80’s? Love everything about it!😍 (There’s a few more in stories too💗)⁣ ⁣ Remember to take pictures with your mom if you are lucky enough to have her around! I find these pictures become fewer and fewer the older we get...⁣ ⁣ What’s one thing you will always remember about your mom?⁣💗 ⁣ #mothersday #happymothersday❤️ #momandme #torontoblogger #bloggersofinstagram #desibloggers #browngirlbloggers #curvygirlsstyle #sauga #mississauga #childhoodmemories #thisis40 #80sbaby ⁣
Sending 💗 to you this Mother’s Day. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Mother’s Day isn’t the same for everyone. Some will love this day and get to share their love and happiness with their loved ones, and others may be struggling silently. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ So sending love to all the women today: ⁣ If you are estranged from your mother,⁣ A mother to be,⁣ Missing your mother,⁣ Hoping to become a mother,⁣ A mother who is struggling,⁣ A single mother,⁣ A mother who is mentally and physically drained,⁣ A grieving mother, or⁣ Not wanting to become a mother,⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I see you and am sending you all the love whatever you are experiencing today. 💗⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Share a 💗 in the comments below to send your love too! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #mothersday #happymothersday #womanistan #womensupportingwomen #silversisters #silversistersinternational #grayhairdontcare #goinggray #thisis40 #naturalbeauty #embraceyoursilver #greyasiansisters #grombrehair #greyhair #openlygray #agepositive #agingwell #greyhairrevolution #greyonpurpose #browngirlblogger #brownskingirls
Easy Palak Paneer! Ready in 20 minutes! 🌱⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ The secret to getting your fresh Palak (spinach) to have that vibrant green colour is to first dip them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, and then immediately into ice cold water. The cold shock will help preserve the colour!👏🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I used fresh spinach leaves (from my last @mamaearthorganics produce delivery) for maximum vibrancy. If you use frozen spinach you won’t get this lovely colour. But it will still taste great!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ You can also make this #dairyfree if you substitute firm tofu for the paneer and use a non-dairy creamer in the curry! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ You know the drill... swipe to see the recipe and save it!➡️ ⁣ Or you can find it on the blog: Ruestory.com anytime!🤍⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Now the question is which would you rather: muttar paneer or palak paneer? 😛⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #vegetarian #vegan #plantbased #tastemademedoit #foodiesofinstagram #f52grams #eatmoreplants #cleaneating #foodtographyschool #delicious #f52meatless #foodporn #sharefood #feedfeed #eattheworld #feedfeedvegetarian #foodpics #weeknightdinner #yourramadanfoodexperts #foodgasm #pictureperfectfood #foodsforthought #eatstherainbow #kitchn #thenewhealthy #mississaugafoodie #torontofoodblog #eatsharerepeat

I’m finally ready to see what all the fuss is about and get one for myself! I’ve heard good things about the instant pot version. Any others I should consider? Do you have one? What are your thoughts about it?
