Let’s be real — just because it’s cold doesn’t mean we have to give up on wearing our favorite mini skirts. I love the look, but staying warm can be tricky. Well, I know a little fashion hack that actually works! Here’s what you do: first, grab a pair of fleece, flesh-colored tights to keep your legs warm.  Then, layer a regular pair of pantyhose on top.  This combo creates the illusion that you’re just wearing pantyhose — it looks like your real skin, your actual legs! After that, just throw on your favorite mini skirt, and you’re good to go. So, if you’ve been avoiding skirts because of the cold, give this trick a try.

This book is based on a true story — the life of Waris Dirie. She was born into a poor family in Somalia. As a child, she helped her family by raising camels. When she was five, she had a crush on a Somali boy. In Somalia, there was a tradition of cutting girls’ genitals at an early age. Many Somali men believed that women who weren’t cut were disgusting and that only cut women were good. Little Waris thought her crush would like her if she became a “cut” woman. So she kept begging her mother to let her undergo the procedure. Eventually, her mother took her to a woman who performed genital mutilations, and that woman cut five-year-old Waris. When Waris turned twelve, her father tried to marry her to a sixty-year-old man in exchange for five camels. Waris didn’t want to marry him, so she decided to run away from home. What happens next is something you’ll discover when you read the book. Her story is incredibly emotional and teaches us to be grateful. It shows how much we already have i...

  I tried the Rexona Maximum Protection deodorant, and it worked great for me. It keeps bad odor away, but it doesn’t stop you from sweating — it just controls the smell. The texture is creamy and it feels nice on the skin. It’s also pretty affordable compared to other products and its volume is 45 ml. I’ve already finished one tube and plan to buy it again. If you’re looking for a deodorant that actually does its job, this one’s worth trying.  Overall, I think Rexona Maximum Protection does a good job at controlling odor. Everyone’s skin is different, so results might vary, but I’m glad I tried it and shared my honest experience here. Note: This is not a paid promotion, just a personal review. 

 Ingredients: ㆍ 2 bulbs of garlic ㆍ 25 grams of chilli flakes ㆍ 150 ml of vegetable oil   First, I peel the garlic, rinse it well, and chop it using my handheld vegetable cutter.  Then I add the chilli flakes on top and mix everything together. Next, I heat the vegetable oil on high until it’s really hot. I carefully pour the hot oil over the garlic and chilli mixture, then stir it well. I let it cool down completely. Once it’s cooled, it’s ready to enjoy. Here it is—Nush olsun! (Bon appétit!)

  In Sicily, there lived a stunningly beautiful woman named Malèna. She was married, but her husband was away fighting in the war, so she lived alone. Because of her beauty and solitary life, all the men in town had their eyes on her, and their wives were jealous of her because of it. Malèna was the most desired young woman in the entire town. A young boy named Renato became obsessed with her. He would spy on her at home and secretly follow her around whenever she went out. Eventually, Malèna got heartbreaking news: her husband had lost his life in the war. After a while, her father was also killed by the Allies in Sicily. Malèna was left completely alone in a harsh, judgmental society. What happens to her after that is something you’ll have to see yourself by watching the movie. Malèna is absolutely worth watching. It’s one of the most captivating movies I’ve ever seen. The world-famous actress and model Monica Bellucci stars in the lead role. She’s one of the most beautif...

  I decided to buy this deodorant after reading a lot of positive reviews online. People were saying it does a great job at preventing body odor and that it doesn’t contain aluminum, which is known to be linked to breast cancer. Plus, the product comes in a large size, and the price seemed pretty reasonable. I had high hopes when I bought Old Spice Pure Sport, but honestly, it let me down. It only reduced odor by about 30%, which wasn’t really enough. So, I won’t be buying it again—and if you’re someone who sweats a lot, I wouldn’t recommend it.

  Ingredients: ·          500 grams of white sugar ·          1 liter of milk First, I pour the sugar and milk into a pot and bring it to a boil over very high heat, stirring constantly.  Once it starts boiling, I continue cooking it for about 30 minutes over slightly higher-than-medium heat, still stirring the whole time. After 30 minutes, I pour the condensed milk into a bowl and let it chill in the fridge for around 5 hours so it can thicken. You can store this homemade condensed milk in the fridge for a long time—it keeps really well and doesn't spoil easily. That’s it! This easy homemade condensed milk is not only budget-friendly but also free of preservatives and additives. Whether you're using it in a classic dessert or just keeping some on hand, it’s a delicious pantry staple. Let me know in the comments how yours turned out or if you used it in a fun recipe!

About a year ago, during the winter, my skin got a lot drier, and I started breaking out with pimples on my face. So, I decided to make some additions to my skincare routine. Every morning and evening, I mixed a tiny bit of Vaseline with my moisturizer and applied it to my face. But here’s the thing—you have to be careful with Vaseline. If you mix in a large amount with your moisturizer, it can clog your pores and cause even more breakouts. Also, if you already have milia (those small white bumps) under your eyes, putting Vaseline there can make them worse. Some people mix an entire jar of Vaseline with a whole jar of moisturizer and use it like that—but I don’t recommend it. Vaseline can cause the moisturizer to spoil faster. I also started using facial oil on top of my moisturizer, both in the morning and at night. After about one to two weeks, my pimples cleared up. That’s when I realized they were caused by a lack of moisture in my skin.

One of the things I struggle with the most is how quickly my manicure starts to chip. I’ve been on the hunt for a good topcoat for a long time. While browsing online, I came across the Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. It had tons of glowing reviews, so I decided to give it a try, especially since the price was pretty affordable. I wanted to test it out and see if it lived up to the hype. I painted my nails as usual, then applied Seche Vite to my right hand about two minutes after putting on the nail polish. (You're supposed to apply it while your polish is still wet — otherwise, it won’t work properly and will chip faster.) It dried in about four minutes, which was impressive — faster than most topcoats I’ve tried. The finish on my right hand was noticeably shinier than my left, and I loved that glossy look. But here’s the downside: the polish on both hands chipped at the same time, and pretty quickly, too. So even though Seche Vite made my manicure look great at first, it didn’t help...

  Badoit water comes from France , and I decided to try this sparkling water after reading about its supposed health benefits. It’s rich in magnesium, and you probably already know how important that is. Magnesium can help improve sleep and mood, and it's great for your brain and nervous system. Basically, it helps you feel more relaxed. But honestly? I didn’t like the taste.  It just didn’t work for me, so I won’t be buying it again.

One of my favorite concealers is the Sisley Phyto-Cernes Éclat—it’s got botanical extracts and a nice, creamy texture. It comes in a 15ml tube, and I’ve found it gives good coverage for the under-eye area. It doesn’t crease much, which I love. Yeah, it’s pricey, but honestly, I think it’s worth it for the quality. Note: This is not a paid promotion, just a personal review. 

Both sunglasses are from the South Korean brand Reclow. I came across them by chance while shopping and decided to buy them. The black pair is model F2189, with a total width of 140mm. The brown pair is model E025, and it’s 147mm wide. I bought them because I really liked the designs, and the prices were very reasonable since they were on sale. In general, Reclow products are quite affordable. Although the black sunglasses feel a bit tight on me, I still wear them. I’m glad I bought both pairs—they suit me well, and the materials don’t look cheap. Plus, they offer UV protection. Reclow has a wide range of styles, and I like their overall design aesthetic, so I’m thinking about picking up a few more pairs. If you're looking for stylish yet budget-friendly sunglasses, they might be worth checking out.     Note: This is not a paid promotion, just a personal review. 

I suddenly discovered this product while shopping at the Tonymoly store. It’s a cheap product. The spray's 300 ml volume allows for extended use. I am very satisfied with its effect because it keeps your style in place all day. For instance, if you curl your hair and  u se t his spray, i t will keep your curls in place all day. It’s worth buying as it provides a long-lasting hold.   Note: It is not a promotion.

Ingredients: 500 grams of red cabbage One liter of warm water 30 ml of white vinegar 4 eggs Today is Novruz in Azerbaijan, and I congratulate everyone on the holiday. Every year we dye eggs during Novruz, and now I will show you how I dye eggs naturally. I wash the cabbage and chop it. Then I put the cabbage into the pot filled with water and bring it to a boil  on high heat . When it starts boiling I put my yellow eggs into the pot, add vinegar, and boil them all together  on high heat .  After the eggs are cooked, I turn the heat off.  Then I strain the dye liquid, put the eggs in, and let them sit overnight in the fridge. In the morning, I drain the liquid and put the eggs back in the fridge to dry. After they dry, I dip a cotton ball in vegetable oil and wipe the eggs.  That’s it!          

Ingredients: One rice paper 300 ml of warm water 30 drops of food color Vegetable oil Fried rice paper sails are used for cake decorating. It’s easy to make fried rice paper sails. I add 30 drops of food coloring to 300 ml of warm water and mix it well. I use a lot since my food color has low pigmentation, but you can use less if yours has high pigmentation. Then I cut the rice paper in half and leave it in the water until it softens. The rice papers change their color until they soften. I take them, put them on a plate, and leave them to dry overnight. When they dry completely, I heat the pan and put a lot of oil into the pan. The rice papers will not fry properly if you don't put enough oil. Now, I put the rice papers into the pan, and they fry in a few seconds on low heat. After frying the rice papers, they should be placed on a napkin to absorb the oil. And that’s it! The rice paper sails are ready. I think they look so beautiful.

  The Lost City is one of the greatest movies I have ever watched. World-famous stars like Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Daniel Radcliffe, and Channing Tatum also participated in the movie. It is a 2022 American comedy/action movie full of funny episodes. An author called Loretta Sage writes romantic adventure books, and the main hero of her books is Dash McMahon. A model named Alan appears on the cover of her books, creating the face of the character Dash. While on tour promoting her new book with Alan, Loretta gets kidnapped by a billionaire, Abigail Fairfax, who wants Loretta to help him find an ancient city’s lost treasure called The Crown of Fire, described in one of her books. Loretta describes The Crown of Fire as a diamond headdress in her book. Alan sets off to rescue her… This is a wonderfully romantic movie worth watching on Valentine's Day. You can watch it from beginning to end without getting bored. I recommend this movie to everybody.

  I have combination hair. My scalp is oily, but my hair ends are dry. Finding a good shampoo that can clean your scalp well is not easy. Recently, I purchased Elastine deep cleansing shampoo from one of the marts. This is a product of the Korean brand LG and has an affordable price. It mostly smells of ginger. There is a large amount inside the bottle—600 ml. That’s why you can use it for several months, which is great. I hoped it would clean my hair properly, but it didn’t; grease was always left on my scalp. That’s why I will not purchase it again. I don’t recommend this product to anybody else.
