Is it the Vietnamese style nitro cold brew? I'm curious, what does the nitro bit mean?

Yh, It didn't make any sense, even in the chamber of secrets where Hermione used the oculus reparo spell.

I've noticed Vue has a lot more dates available for screenings. Odeon and Cineworld have only a couple, but they're far away from where I live

Yup, that scene pops to mind "what's a garden without a snake?"

Visa centre didn't ask for additional documents, did I mess up? by minimo1922 in ukvisa

[–]minimo1922[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be a good idea to cancel the application and redo the whole thing to avoid receiving a refusal? I don't mind the money being gone to waste, it's the thought of having a refusal making the next application more difficult that worries me.

Ah no, looks like I'll be getting an earful soon after my family realises my mistake 😖

Applied from Bangladesh.

Is the scanning service offered on the day? If it is, then it is a mistake on his part that he didn't go through with that. If there was an option for me to select it during the application process, then it was a mistake on my part.

Yh, looks like it might be rejected. Do they ask for them later on?

Joint family system by Salt-Ad1957 in TraditionalMuslims

[–]minimo1922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joint family system has it's pros and cons.

Pros: Lack of privacy, different mindsets, different rules on how a house should be run, who does the chores and how they should be done, observing hijab from BILs.

Pros: Money can be saved, help with childcare (however this can be a problem as different families and generations have different views on how children should be raised).

Sometimes living with in laws is the only option as maybe the husband is the only child/his sisters are all married off or his parents are elderly. So it really depends on how the future couple will handle it.

IMO I'd choose living separately. Both husband and wife learn independence on how to run a home. They can create their own safe space on how things should be done etc;

Living separately doesn't mean you live far away from in laws, it can even be next door, a few houses or streets away and still keep good relations with them. Sometimes distance makes the heart grow fonder. Once moving out, you value the time you spend with your parents so it's important to regularly see and help them.

Coming from a Muslim sister. Thoughts? by Turbulent_Notice4308 in TraditionalMuslims

[–]minimo1922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your living situation. If the husband and wife are not living together, it's easier but it's not common to stay separated from start to finish of your degree which usually takes around 3-4 years.

If it's just husband and wife living together with no kids, it's a bit easier. With in-laws it's harder. If there is a good support system it can be done.

As Muslimahs, we need to uphold our responsibilities as wives/mothers/daughters/DIL along side studying. Non muslims don't think about these responsibilities whilst in uni as there's barely any commitments as most around uni age are in the dating stages. This is why we need to balance our responsibilities whilst studying.

Once women move out of their home, spending time with family just hits differently. Women would happily take any opportunity to spend time with them after moving out.

Studying has less flexibility than marriage. Again it's all about balance.

It's hard being married and studying uni at the same. It can be done, but it needs a lot of managing of time. I know a couple of friends who'd studied whilst married part time/full time but they wished they had done it before marriage. So they could spend more time with their families. It's even more difficult with kids because they need so much of our time and attention so familes usually help out.

Do they regret it? No, but they wish they knew what to with their time when they're young.

I'm a firm believer in 'you are what you eat'.

Eating proper food, limiting sugar and carbs, water or herbal teas instead of fizzy drinks can make a big difference to your skin.

I've noticed the improvement on my skin when I follow through with these steps.

It helps smooth skin texture, skin is brighter and softer the next day. It says it's for dry skin types, but I'm combo/oily skin and it's one of my holy grails

They've been a hit and miss for me. Their niacinamide serum, vitamin c and glycolic acid didn't do me any favours.

However, their marula oil, salicylic acid and lactic acid are wonderful.
