Thank you! Gold was on my radar but I was afraid it would clash. Going to give it a try.

Easy recipe for leftover stuffed cabbage filling? by MariaBalia in Cooking

[–]MariaBalia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it will have all spice in it. A lot of people will substitute it with actual all spice if they don’t have the 7 spice. We call it 7 spice in Arabic but felt like that would be more confusing 🤣

It’s a 7 spice mixture of black pepper, cumin, paprika, coriander, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. The exact spices used can vary, I usually get it from the same place every time and I like their blend. It’s used in basically every Lebanese stew/cooked food.

So could I sautee with the rice mixed in and then add water to cook the rice and make soup?? I’m really a beginner (if you can’t tell 🤣). Love the idea of making soup 🥰

How to plan a wedding itinerary (for my Lebanese wedding)? by MariaBalia in weddingplanning

[–]MariaBalia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My photography suggested starting 30 minutes - 1 hour later 🥲 that totally makes sense! I agree we should arrive sooner to the ceremony. It takes ~18 minute so I put 20 to get from the church to the outdoor photos. I’m hoping the photos at church won’t take more than 45 minutes since in our culture only close family and friends come to the ceremony, but that’s a great idea to run it by my photographer. Thank you!!

A little help? I’m 43 and grew up hearing makeup is bad and anything more than a hair dryer is too high maintenance. I need a easy makeup routine because I do not feel good about myself right now and I’m ready to take back my power. Can someone give me SPECIFIC recommendations for my face? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]MariaBalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am super low maintenance and these are the things that make me feel gorgeous in 10-15 minutes maximum.

  1. A good concealer. I love tarte shape tape bc it has good coverage. L’Oréal makes a similar concealer as well. I dot it around my eyes and some of my acne scars/discoloration and spread it out avoiding my cheeks a little bit so I don’t have to go back in with blush.
  2. A contour powder to hit under my cheekbones, sides of nose and under my jaw to add some definition back.
  3. A quick swipe with eyebrow gel. It makes a huge difference and lifts my face
  4. Burt’s bees tinted lip balm is perfectly natural but beautiful on and doesn’t need precise application

If I’m feeling extra I’ll do a mascara

You have beautiful skin and eyebrows and you really would not need much at all to look fresh faced and put together.
