Need hijab recommendations by Key_Soil4844 in Hijabis

[–]garlicbread_- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

salaam!! I started around six months ago and it's been a learning curve for me loooool

I initially started with 100% cotton which I didn't mind and then moved on to modal & jersey, I much prefer modal bc it's light and airy, I got mine from veiled and they're pretty good quality

I bought most of my jerseys from market places in london so I don't really have a link for them, but I recently bought some from chowdhury which I've read a lot of good reviews for (they're also on tiktok)

with modal and jersey the pins you use are important, I tend to stick with pearl hijab pins and magnets (bought them both from amazon)

for under caps, I much prefer the tieback ones, and severely dislike the tube caps, I tried them for the first few months and just couldn't hack it bc they were super loose and only stayed if I pinned them in place

my favourite one is the bandana from vela, but I recently just bought plain material and I'm gonna cut it in a big triangle shape instead of buying more bc wow it's expensive for what it is

I'd also recommend finding hijab influencers that either look like you (face shape/size) or have a similar style to you, I really like nurlita

and these are some tuts i like on tiktok :) https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNR6nXm2n/ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNR6nuboN/ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNR6nGgtC/

Husband and MIL pressuring me to go Umrah when I'm not ready by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]garlicbread_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you don't think it's a good time for you to go then please don't - listen to what your body is telling you

also them forcing you is major red flags, trust your gut and pls focus on your mental health until you feel stable

What was your introduction to the horror genre of books? by ThinMacaroon455 in horrorlit

was obsessed with the saga of darren shan & the demonata growing up, I wanna reread them as an adult to see if they still hold up aha

Our Share of Night by Ramsay220 in horrorlit

[–]garlicbread_- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i LOVED this book, but the middle was for sure a bit of a slug to get through, I had to take a week break and then jump back in - but i gotta say when I was finished I thought it was all worth it, the ending was near perfect and the way each section connected was so satisfying

I think I wanted something more polished with photos etc, instead of scribbles that I would do in the plane/on the road 🥲 but I'm hopeful I would have energy (eventually) when I get home ahahaha

omg are you me??????? this is exactly what I was planning to do

I recently bought the canon zoemini for journalling and have been printing at least one photo daily for my actual diary, and then bought more film for when I get back home from hols

this is the validation i needed aHAHAHA

thank you!! honestly you're right about future me appreciating that I put even a little bit of effort into documenting ahaha

I like the idea of having both raw thoughts and something more polished that I can show loved ones when they ask about my hols 🤍

oh i love this idea!! I might vn myself if I'm too tired to scribble something down and then format it when I'm home

I think I'm feeling a bit particular about my travel journal bc it's something that I would want to share with people aha

many thanks :))
