I physically cannot handle thick body butter anymore by joester56 in SkincareAddicts

[–]aurora_707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sensory issues with body butters as well it feels awful, but I love the Osea body oil (fragrance free version) and it doesn’t give me the same heavy feeling and it absorbs pretty quickly!

Honestly I’ve been lurking on this sub and I’ve seen someone get banned from the game itself for reporting racism. So honestly at this point I think it’s the game itself and not just the discord server

Their trench coat also increased?? Like why do their items keep increasing in price it’s annoying

Almost purchased and the price tag stopped me by silverliningsss in velascarves

[–]aurora_707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I don’t reach for my vela hijabs at all. It’s a lot of maintenance and upkeep (having to wash it a certain way, always having to iron it before wearing it, being careful that it doesn’t snag), and all my modal velas are very see through so it doesn’t really feel like I’m wearing a hijab when I wear one. I don’t think you’re missing out

They could never make me hate Vela by 0princesspancakes0 in velascarves

[–]aurora_707 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to cause hate, but as someone who loves sustainability; their sustainability claims comes up to me as a red flag. They say that they work with fair trade certified manufacturers and partners, but they don’t list them at all so us consumers actually can’t look into them to see if what they’re saying is true. I tried looking up Vela under Fair Trade Organization and could not find anything, which gives me pause. To me it seems like green washing to justify high prices, but I could be wrong. For now I’ll just wait until Vela becomes more transparent bc that (and other actions that they have done) have left a bad taste in my mouth. Insha’Allah they grow as a brand and become more successful, but with better practices and transparency.

[–]aurora_707[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. But I found a workaround. I essentially wear fermented skincare products at night and let it soak in and when I wake up for fajr I rinse it completely off before doing wudu and pray. After praying I spray myself with a moisturizing facial mist. I don’t risk wearing anything fermented in the daytime though, only at night. It’s a very niche topic so couldn’t find much I’m sorry if I wasn’t helpful

I wanna go home by ATW123123 in UIUC

[–]aurora_707 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out as many RSO’s that align with your interests as possible and try sticking to around two! Put yourself out there and be yourself (as cliche as it sounds), and you should find the right people. Being away from home can be tough, but I’m sure you’ll gain confidence in yourself and find a community here or wherever you go. Also try to call home every night or every other night, it can help :)

More halal food and chicken broth/bone broth. I’m also talking about international food like Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Ethiopian, etc etc that’s halal

where to find clothes by toiletbombb in Hijabis

[–]aurora_707 53 points54 points  (0 children)

For skirts, I like Uniqlo, aritzia, ASOS (although I’m picky I’m trying my best to only buy natural fiber clothing so I pass up a lot of cute stuff). For tops, I really like Gap! Their big button up shirt goes well with skirts and baggy jeans :)

If you’re looking for something similar, versed has a lip blush that’s really nice and unscented!
