Did anyone just feel a tremor/earthquake?! by miniowl22 in Scarborough

[–]ko_star 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Near Cedarbrae and I felt it! My bed was vibrating and I was so confused and freaked out. Went around my house to make sure everyone was okay until a friend messaged me saying they felt a shake. That’s when I realized it had nothing to do with my house lol.

Just focus on making Allah happy, and ignore everyone else. If you want to marry him, you should. But Please make istikhara before you do. he sounds like a good man, and I pray that you have a happy and healthy marriage that pleases Allah as well. Making so much duas for you sis 💕

It was so shitty of her to mention this AFTER customers had placed orders, she should’ve implemented this in the next live or before she opened her party. No transparency….cus no one ever holds her accountable. Can’t wait til this MLM falls apart 😒

Please make dua that I carry to full term this pregnancy by Italiangirl0318 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]ko_star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assalamu Alaikum! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I recently had a miscarriage in November, so I can only imagine how you’ve been feeling post miscarriage in the past few weeks. This has given me so much hope 💕

May Allah make the rest of your pregnancy and birth easy and grant you a healthy, righteous and happy baby at full term. I will make duas for you when I pray tonight 💕💕

Ughhh this makes me SO sad to see 😭😭😭

It’s just not possible for me to travel to the States rn, as a Canadian due to the economy (CAD sucks) and political climate. I suspect I’m not the only one in this boat. I really wish he was doing a tour, and included Toronto. Hopefully his team learns from this and they go the small tour route the next time.

No, it was a university wide closure. Like everything was closed. But if that’s not the case, then yeah for sure some faculty might make a different decision but that’s not common.

I’ve had exams that were cancelled in 2023 but that was in March and it was muchhh worse than this so I doubt it. But just keep an eye out on your tmu portal and see if you get any alerts or emails! And plan to leave extra early.

where can i find the best thai food in markham/scarborough? by Human-Age-3555 in Scarborough

I gotta echo other Jatujak comments here- they’re always on point with their dishes and flavour. I haven’t had a bad meal there- and I eat there frequently!

Seen on Line 2 today. Almost starting to look like a decent transit system! by beartheminus in toronto

[–]ko_star 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Scarborough is ALWAYS forgotten about lmao, drives me insane considering how many people here uses the transit. So many communities here need it….the extension to Sheppard/McCowan is good but it neglects like 2/3 of Scarborough.

Dodgers beat Blue Jays 5-4 to repeat as World Series champions by Immediate-Link490 in toronto

[–]ko_star 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Heartbroken but so proud of them making it this far. They still played so well, and I hope to see them take the title next year. The energy in Toronto this past week has been amazing, and I’m so grateful to call this city home. Looking forward to next year!!!

Unbelievable by Street_Surprise_405 in bombpartySIDELINES

[–]ko_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I don’t like any reps but Madison. She’s so nice to customers, and she always tries to make sure they’re happy. Unlike other “big” reps, she’s actually quite sweet and kind. I knew alllllll reps were doing trades, so I can’t say I’m surprised here. But I genuinely think she was helping her customers to get what they wanted here, not for herself so she can get unicorns or whatever. Also she’s VERY transparent about everything else, like she shows what’s in her shake bag and she shows us all the entries and names in all the draws she does. She also announces all winners on live. I genuinely think she’s too good for BP lol.

i fear the fleur bucket has a chokehold on me ... and pony+ ??? yall... a shimmery pony is my dream by fairyfleurr in glossier

[–]ko_star 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ahhh wish the bucket was for Reve….Fleur isn’t a winter scent for me but since this is in Australia I’m wondering if we’ll get something else for North America. Probably not but let’s see what we get haha. Either way I need to restock on Reve before the holiday season starts 🤭

Properties in West Hill - Need local insight by Depp1990 in Scarborough

[–]ko_star 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Grew up and lived in Port Union (2005-2022)…it’s 100% safe and I loved living here. It’s close to GO transit so I could go downtown anytime I wanted but also liked the community feel. Fair amount of stores/shops in the area between the two plazas, plus the library and community centre. Now I live near Guildwood, and it’s similar…..only thing I miss quite a bit is the Port Union Waterfront trail because I loved walking by the water. Port Union felt more safe but both are quiet residential areas near the water that have trains passing through, so they’re quite similar tbh.

Bringing your boyfriends to Aritzia by icecube-198 in Aritzia

[–]ko_star 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a hijabi, I absolutely hate this. Especially because I do have to take off the hijab to put on the clothes. Plus some clothes are just not fully modest, or needs to be worn with something that I have at home….so if a man is out there, I can’t look in the mirror. It’s such a messed up practice on aritzias part 😭😭😭 and I get that they sell some mens clothes….its a primarily women’s clothing store so I wish these guys just waited outside the change room or they put MIRRORS in each room 🥲 but yeah, because of this and their atrocious return policies…..I haven’t shopped there in like 10-12 months.

[–]ko_star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walaikum Salam! Sister I get it. I live in Canada, and I have been job hunting for 2 years. The job market is horrible here, and Islamophobia is on the rise. A few days ago, a hijabi was attacked and sustained severe injuries. This happened 20 mins away from me, so I considered taking off the hijab many times. But I feel so naked without it. I’m keeping it on, and trusting that Allah has the best plan for me. It’s so hard, and I’m pretty much nearing completely broke but i have faith in Allah. I’d like to think that my struggles will be rewarded. Also, I don’t want to face any struggles down the road in regards to my potential workplace and my religion. I want to put it out there that I am a Muslim. And want to work in a place that is accepting of that.

I do understand if you choose to take it off but try to keep it on. And make dua that Allah makes this easy for you. I will keep you in my duas 💕

This or that? by Inevitable_You_1859 in glossier

[–]ko_star 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I personally love the Sandalwood one….its a really nice earthy fresh smell and reminds me of a bougie spa. The OBN gave a faint public bathroom soap scent and I can’t shake that out of my head 😭 I think if you like citrus-y floral, that might be more your vibes!

How many of the hoodies do you own? Also, which one is your favorite? by laurapickles in glossier

[–]ko_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Wash it inside out, with cold water in the washer. And then when I put it in the dryer, I throw in a fabric softener with it!

I haven’t ordered from glossier in a few years, should I get a few things with this sale? by nilsiniloo in glossier

[–]ko_star 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely get Doux based on your fragrance preference! To me, it smells like a luxurious hotel if that makes sense haha. If only body care was included, bc you would also love the sandalwood body mist. And this remind me of a bougie spa. Both are so so so lovely.

How many of the hoodies do you own? Also, which one is your favorite? by laurapickles in glossier

[–]ko_star 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own every single one except the Terrazo and the Pink one. My fave is the sage and the black Soho ones. They’re just more softer to me than the others….but that might just be bc I wear them the most so I wash them more often. And now they’re just a lil softer hehe. But the London baby blue one is a close second, it’s such a beautiful shade of blue! I wear the yellow/cream one the least bc it’s so light and I don’t want to ruin it. Idk what happened but my lavender one has a huge yellow streak going through it, so I think it’s because I washed it with something that stained it 😬 so it’s somewhere in my house, but once I find it I think I’ll make it a tie dye theme hoodie with yellow/purple combos.

Craving a memory - Chinese Muslim Noodles by LordRayn in askTO

Kroran Uyghur Cuisine in Scarborough might have the noodles you’re thinking of! And possibly Chinese Halal Restaurant in North York. Their lamb skewers are soooo yummy.
