M'sian Authorities Confiscated Swatch's "Pride Collection" Watches Associated With The LGBTQ+ Movement

Recent reports confirm that Malaysian authorities have conducted raids on Swatch stores across the country, resulting in the confiscation of items from the brand's "Pride Collection." These particular watches feature the rainbow flag, which is associated with the LGBTQ+ movement. The enforcement action was carried out by the Home Ministry on May 13th and 14th, with items being seized from several Swatch outlets, including those in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, 1 Utama, Sunway Pyramid, Setia City Mall, Mid Valley Megamall, Southkey, Sunway Putra Mall, Sogo KL, Queensbay, Fahrenheit 88, and Suria Sabah. Warning notices were also issued to stores in KTCC (Terengganu), Aeon KB, Aman Central Kedah, City Square, and Viva City Kuching.
Swatch Group's CEO, Nick Hayek Jr., responded to the confiscation by stating that the brand has consistently produced colorful timepieces to represent diversity and celebrate people from all walks of life. Hayek emphasized that Swatch takes pride in being a platform for self-expression and creativity and firmly contests the notion that their collection of rainbow-colored watches with messages of peace and love could be harmful to anyone. He further emphasized that Swatch always promotes a positive message of joy in life and that the brand's intention is not political. Hayek questioned how the authorities could seize watches representing natural rainbows when they appear frequently in Malaysia's skies.
  The confiscation of the watches is believed to be related to their association with the LGBTQ+ movement, which remains a contentious topic in Muslim-majority Malaysia. This incident follows a similar controversy surrounding the scheduled concert of British band Coldplay in the country. Certain factions within the Perikatan Nasional (PN) have called for the cancellation of the concert due to the band's support for LGBTQ rights. In response, Digital and Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil defended Coldplay, highlighting that the band has also advocated for causes such as Palestine and river cleanup efforts in Malaysia.The incident involving Swatch raises concerns about the freedom of expression and the treatment of LGBTQ+ issues in Malaysia. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the country.What do you think of this? Comment below.

Classic Or Modern? How Lanterns Have Evolved.

The Mooncake Festival is not just about mooncakes, it's also about gathering, family and friends, and of course lanterns! The tradition has always been to walk around where we live with lanterns and "compete" to see which kid has the biggest and brightest lantern.
  However, as our lives and technology has changed, so have lanterns. Do you know have children who still play with lanterns? Do you remember the kind of lanterns you used to play with? Today, we have a quick look at the evolution of lanterns played with during the mooncake festival.
  Traditional Folding Lantern (Accordion Style)This is considered the OG of OGs. One of the most traditional lanterns that children play with since more than 20 years ago! The accordion design allows it to be folded down to a size that is thinner than a slice of bread.
  To play with it, you have to place a candle on the tiny metal holder in the middle then CAREFULLY pull it up, so as to not have part of the accordion "bent in". Most of the time is then spent preventing the the candle from touching the lantern as this will send the whole lantern up in flames.We'd then have to change another one, after getting a scolding from our parents, of course.
  Glass Paper LanternThen came the glass paper lantern and a whole new wave of lantern competing that came with it. This is because the glass paper lantern allows plenty of new designs. Dragons, Rabbits, and Pokémon were all possible and they weren't expensive too.The candles go into a metal "spring" holder and the best part is because the entire lantern is solid, there is no chance of burning down anything!
  Traditional Battery Powered Lantern (with Music!)You know, the ones with the red handles where you have to insert 2 or 3 AA batteries in. During the prime of these lanterns, they trump every other type of lantern in the market. Their hidden power? Loud electronic music that you will find in the toy phones you get for children.The changing spinning lights definitely helped as well. Although this does mean that there is no danger of fire, but everyone that has this will know how quickly these things break and they are not cheap!
  LED LanternsAnd so we've come to the final form. The most modern of all lighting solutions - LEDs. No huge batteries needed yet still super bright. Also, the outer body of the lantern can be any material and design since there is no danger of burning. You can have paper lanterns with cut holes that can give off a disco ball effect. You can also print any design you want to with a computer. The possibilities are endless!
  No matter how the lanterns change and whatever lantern you choose to play with, what's most important is to not let the kid inside you die. The traditions of our culture should be passed on to the next generation. Even with the pandemic going on strong, it shouldn't stop us from celebrating with our loved ones at home!

He should fall in love with you everyday, after falling in love with you. At the beginning, it always starts out with unicorns and rainbows, because it isn't the start one should worry about. A relationship takes effort, commitment and the constant decision on both ends to want to make things work, day in and day out. How do you know if your partner is no longer interested in you?Here are 8 signs to take note of.
  #1 He stops planningWhether it is dates, things to do, or even what the future could look like, he doesn't do it. Making reservations, picking up the tab, it all becomes things of the past. #2 He stops sharingHe doesn't tell you how he feels or even talks much about the things he experiences on the daily. You're clueless about what he thinks or how is he feeling.
  #3 He starts to forgetDates like anniversaries, birthdays, significant dates, or even things you told him yesterday, last week or over the month goes in one ear, and comes out the other. #4 He is distantIt could be physically, emotionally or mentally, you sense a type of withdrawnness. He doesn't answer your texts or pick up your phone calls.
#5 He gets defensiveOver the smallest of things, he feels the need to protect himself over all else. #6 He stops effortHe doesn't try as hard as he once used to anymore.
  #7 He avoids time spent togetherHe comes up with any possible excuse to not spend time with you. #8 He stops askingHe doesn't ask you about your day, your plans, your work, what happens here on out. He simply doesn't care any longer to want to know.
  These signs may be a sign that it's time to have the talk no one really wants to talk about ;(


Dyson Airwrap Alternatives That Will Give You the Same Bouncy Blowout for A Fraction of The Price

We all can relate to the feeling we get when passing by a Dyson store or coming across a Dyson product while going through our daily social media scrolling, the feeling of longing for something that is not within our grasps but might be one day. We want to own a Dyson product, maybe a vacuum cleaner but most of all, the Dyson Airwrap. It is just unbelievably mesmerizing to watch video of how seamlessly easy it makes hair styling. We all want perfect hairs, so when won’t be long to have our own Dyson Airwrap. Sadly, the high price of the product makes it almost impossible for us to own especially in this economy where we have to prioritise using our finances for our needs rather than wants. Gladly for you, we understand how you feel and manage to identify some products that while not exactly the same as the Dyson Airwrap, it does a good job of giving you the perfect bouncy blowout: 1. BaByliss Air Style
  In case you didn’t know, the Dyson Airwrap costs RM 2199.00. Would you like to know how much the BaByliss Air Style costs on Shopee? RM 360! This tool comes with 4 interchangeable attachments : dry, smooth, volumize and curl, just like the airwrap. It uses the same technology as Dyson for less heat damage and lesser styling time. However, it is not as powerful as the Airwrap.Purchase Link: https://shp.ee/k5e3q7f2. Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush
  Many YouTubers have dubbed this a direct copy of the Dyson Airwrap and it only costs RM 410+ on Shopee! While the Dyson Airwarp comes with several attachments, this one only comes with one huge barrel with two types of bristles. It creates perfect bouncy blow-out with a sleeker look, however, if you want more defined curls, then this isn’t the product for you. Purchase Link: https://shp.ee/pigs8zf3. Remington Volume and Curl Air Styler
  Like Dyson, this product also comes with several attachments: a brush for a big bouncy dry, a smoothing paddle-brush, a wand for curling and a brush for drying. Unlike Dyson, it doesn’t cost RM 2000, it only costs RM 400+ on Shopee.The part that makes this product stand out is its rotating function on the blow-dry tool that imitates running a brush up and down your hair. It does a great job of giving you a more voluminous look. Purchase Link: https://shp.ee/q93ywuf

It's Dr. Taylor Swift Now! The International Pop Queen Just Received An Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts From NYU!

Miss Taylor Swift, the talented singer-songwriter and international music icon has just received an honorary doctorate of fine arts from New York University, of which the graduation ceremony was held at Yankee Stadium. She also delivered a delightfully witty speech at the 2022 graduation ceremony, that we find is worth quoting. In her speech, Taylor Swift joked, "I'd like to thank NYU for making me technically, on paper at least, a doctor. Not the type of doctor you would want around in the case of an emergency unless your specific emergency was that you desperately needed to hear a song with a catchy hook and an intensely cathartic bridge section."
  Another gem in her speech, Taylor Swift slips in a piece of really solid life advice, "I know it can be really overwhelming figuring out who to be, and when. Who you are now and how to act in order to get where you want to go," she continued, "I have some good news: it's totally up to you. I also have some terrifying news: it's totally up to you."Another priceless quote to be added to the Taylor Swift bible, we'd say. Congrats, Miss Swift!

Mindful Mornings | Simple Things To Include For A Better Morning

“Morning is an important time of day because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have.” – Lemony Snicket  Have you ever wondered how so many people are able to wake up feeling good in the morning? The morning is one of the most crucial times of the day because it is at this time that we have a chance to set the mood for the day ahead. Read on for some tips on how to have a better morning for yourself.   1. Set The Right Mood And Intentions For The DayGratitude is a really important aspect of our lives. Take a few minutes in your morning to start your day with a grateful heart by listing down a few things that you are grateful for. It is also recommended to do some meditation after waking up. 2-5 minutes of meditation is good enough to clear your mind and set your intentions for the day. Some people may also opt to play some upbeat music in the morning. This can elevate your mood as you slowly getting ready for the day. You can also write a journal in the morning. Write down some positive affirmations for yourself, the goals that you would like to achieve throughout the day, your thoughts and as well as to-dos, to clear things off your mind.  2. Put Yourself TogetherAfter you have set your mood and intentions, it is time to get up and get ready. The first thing is to make your bed. Like how Naval Admiral William McRaven, the commander of U.S. Special Operations said, “If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another.”Besides letting you be productive throughout the day, a well-made bed will give you a sense of relaxation and comfort when you get back at the end of a long day.Next, go ahead and move on with your usual morning habits. Clean up yourself, brush your teeth, wash your face, take a shower. Also, don't forget your morning skincare routine. Make sure to get dressed and look presentable (even if you are just at home). You don't want to feel sluggish for the rest of the day in your pajamas. I'm not talking about wearing suits or any formal wear at home. But really, just dress up for yourself. Looking good makes you feel good, thus boosting your confidence for the day. A pro tip for this would be to choose your outfit the night before to save time in the morning.  3. Have A Healthy BreakfastBefore you head off to school or work, make sure your body is well-nourished and energized. Breakfast is an important meal for the day. It does not only provide your body with nutrition and energy, but it also enhances your brain function and keeps you in a good mood for the day.Some of the recommended ingredients for breakfast would be oats, wholegrain breakfast cereals, fresh fruits, low-fat milk, and fresh fruit juices. Look up the net for plenty of delicious and healthy breakfast recipes that you can try out. A pro tip for this is that some breakfasts can be prepared the night before, which can save you a lot of time in the morning.  It's okay if you don't do all of these at once. You are not comparing your mornings to other people's. You are reading about this to try to make your own morning better. So it is okay to explore and see what works best for you. Keep in mind that everyone is their own unique self, thus everyone's needs in the morning are different. Have a great day by starting your morning great!

Kanye West Loses Adidas Deal AND Billionaire Status

Kanye West has landed himself on the hot seat once again, but this time it's costly! Following the rapper's latest eyebrow-raising gimmick where he took a swipe at antisemitism, Adidas has now severed ties with West.
  But that's not all. Apparently, the drop has costed West a chunk of his net worth, which saw him falling off of the billionaires' list. According to Forbes, the partnership was worth USD 1.5 BILLION. Other than the athletic giant, Balenciaga and Gap have also taken similar measures. It's reported that the latter no longer carries Yeezy products, both in-store and online.


Michelle Yeoh Landed Lead Role Following Jackie Chan's Unavailability, & The Rest Is History

When Everything Everywhere All at Once blew up the cinematic universe last year, its leading star Michelle Yeoh landed a coveted Golden Globes acclaim and multiple accolades. The win was clearly a much-deserved milestone for the Malaysian-born acting legend, something that she's clearly thankful of.
  Turned out, Jackie Chan had something to do with it too. Speaking to CNN, Yeoh opened up that her role was initially offered to Chan.
  At the time of the approach, the actor had other commitments. Hence, his unavailability led the directors to role-reverse the storyline and position Yeoh as the lead instead. She was originally casted as Chan's character's wife. "It was written for a man. Whenever filmmakers tell the story, they also have to be mindful that it is showbusiness. 'I have to write something that somebody will make it into a film.' And so, they wrote it like that way with Jackie and me as the wife."
  Following the movie's phenomenon, Yeoh received a text from Chan: "And I remember Jackie text me and said, 'Congratulations. You realize that your boys came to see me first?' and I'm like, 'Thank you, bro. You did me a huge favor.'"Such a momentous destiny indeed!

Heads Up Bangkok Travellers: Thick Smog Covers Bangkok

If you are travelling to Bangkok these few days, mask up! Because Bangkok is having bad air pollution. According to The Independent, almost 200,000 people were hospitalized this week in Thailand due to bad air quality and over 1.3 million people have fallen ill as a result of air pollution since the beginning of the year. The capital city, Bangkok is badly affected and was ranked the third-most polluted city in the world by IQAir. This is mainly caused by the combination of vehicular pollution, industrial emissions, and also smoke from agricultural burning. While Chiang Mai is worst affected as farmers are burning crop stubble at this time of year.Kriangkrai Namthaisong, a doctor at the ministry, said that a high-quality N95 anti-pollution mask is best recommended if you are going outside while he urges children and pregnant women to stay indoors. The Public Relations Office of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) releases a statement on its social media page saying that the situation would remain until the end of this week due to stagnant weather conditions.For those travelling to Bangkok or other places in Thailand, be vigilant and stay safe. Put on a mask that is capable of filtering out PM2.5 if you are going outdoors. Seek medical help if you are experiencing difficulty in breathing, eye irritation or coughing.Source: The Independent, CNA, Inquirer.net


Do You Think This RM3k Empurau Fish Dish in Sibu Is Worth It?

Some Malaysians have the tendency to not be concerned about the cost of meals as long as it is tasty and worthwhile. Especially when it comes to eating at seafood restaurants!  @kerrynlee SGD1000+ for a fishThe most expensive fish ever in my lifeHock Chu Leu Sibu Sarawak #malaysia #travel #tiktoksg #tiktokmy #sgfoodie #sibu #sarawak #statos #statossg #fish #yummy #empurau #empurausarawak #visitsarawak #eastmalaysia #fyp #sg  She Share Story (for Vlog) - 山口夕依   Kerryn, a Singaporean woman, recently travelled to Sibu for a vacation and spoke about her experience eating the popular seasonal Empurau fish, often known as the "King of the River" in Sarawak.When you play the TikTok clip, the first thing you'll notice is when she asks, "Would you pay more than SGD 1000 for a fish?" Well, SGD 1000 is also equivalent to RM3.3k so that's quite expensive!What makes the fish so distinctive and tasty is that it only feeds on fruits found on riverbanks, which gives it a fatty taste as well as a unique aromatic scent when cooked.The exotic fish migrates if its habitats become contaminated and prefer clean, cold, clear, and swift-flowing rivers with rocky riverbeds.Also, Empurau fish is pricey due to its rarity, slow growth, and seasonal reproduction rate.However, is the price worth the fish though? Based on Kerryns review, she honestly enjoys the flesh of the fish and how she found the meat so tender, juicy and melts in your mouth. Plus you don't really need to add any sauce to enjoy it. Well, what do you think? Would you spend this much money to try it? Let us know!

Gardening could be bad for Environments If We Use the Wrong Methods

Gardening assumes as environmentally friendly activities, the soil could store amble of the carbon and could reduce the carbon footprints we have created from various kinds of human activities. Unfortunately, some bad gardening habits could result in pollution of the environment too! The worse is we do not even realize our common gardening habits are actually harmful to our environments. Using pesticides, chemical fertilizer, weedicides and fungicides are considered normal methods in maintaining the health of plants. However, the residues of the toxin chemical will channel to the soil, drain, river and channel to the sea and cause pollution of the environment.

  Use of Chemical FertilizersThe chemical fertilizers usually contain high nutrients like NPK green (15:15:15). High nutrients make the leaves grow bigger and greener in leaf colour. Actually the chemical nutrients could not be totally absorbed by the plants and the residues of the chemical fertilizers will drain to the water sources and cause nutrient pollution. And Nutrient pollution causes dead zones and algae blooms in ponds or rivers. Excess nutrients cause the algae multiplying faster than usual in the water body and covering the water surface. It makes the algae consume the oxygen and reduces the oxygen level in the water. Besides that, the algae more than the usual amount may clog the gills of animals in the water easily. As a result, it endangers the survival of the animals in the water and spoils the ecosystem of the river and ponds.
  Use of Chemical PesticidesUsing pesticides may destroy the native habitat of insects and further cause destruction to the biodiversity too. Unselective pesticides may kill all the insect contact with the plants sprayed by the pesticides. It is include the beneficial insects like bees, ladybugs and spiders. Avoid using chemical pesticides to help the beneficial insects to build its habitat and maintain the balance of the ecosystem naturally. Besides that, the pesticides are commonly carcinogenic, it might cause cancer if we are exposed to it frequently! In conclusion, use of chemical pesticides is not only bad for the environment and harmful to human health too.
  Use of Herbicides and WeedicidesUsing the herbicides may clear the weeds in the garden easily. However, the residue will be left on the ground and cause the other plants unable to grow on the ground temporarily too! Some more, like using weedicides will destroy the native habitat of the insects too and further affect the balance of the ecosystem! Moreover, the residue of herbicides may drain to the soil and rivers pollute the soil and water resources! And the residues drain to the river are absorbed by fishes and animals after that and eaten by humans too. At last, the toxins residues entered our whole food chain too.
  Therefore, we should encourage the plant lovers who love to do gardening using natural methods in growing their plants in the house and gardens. Gardening should be an eco-friendly activity that is good for the body, mind and soul of humans. Do not choose the wrong methods in maintaining our plants' health, it will destroy the true meaning for gardening and bring bad effects to the environment and humans!

Go For Regular Scalp Treatment

Just slather a few drops on your scalp and all over your hair and then leave it on for half an hour before washing your hair— it will make all the difference. In a few weeks, you'll notice the improvement. 3. Use Hair Tonic
  Hair tonic is a savior when it comes to combating hair loss. Doing this daily will slowly heal and repair your scalp by invigorating hair follicles and encouraging hair growth. 4. Opt for scalp-purifying products

5 Psychology Tricks To Win Every Argument Like A Boss

Do you always get shut down in a heated argument? Play the mind game with these 5 psychology tricks & you will never lose again.1- Sit closeSource: InstagramUnless this is a fist fight, quickly sit close to your opponent like your lover, boss, or friend. It's difficult for them to confront you aggressively when you close the distance between your bodies. Plus, sitting down gives the idea that you're collected, less defensive & ready to talk. It also calms the other person down if he/she is bursting with emotions. Just make sure they're not physically harmful. 2- Decide their type Source: InstagramBefore you go to war, make out the type of person they are. Basically, there are two kinds: reactive or analytical. Here's how to deal with each:- Reactive: Focus more on emotions/empathy- Analytical: Focus more on logic/analysisIf you're already familiar with the person, you would already know which category he/she falls under. For strangers, try to guess from what & how they are arguing. Learn more here. 3- Use your opponent's wordsSource: InstagramDon't just attack with points from your side. Listen, connect & use their arguments to divert their memory. You can use these phrases:  'As you've mentioned before...', 'Like you said just now...' or 'From what you're saying...'. Link your arguments following these prompts.Your opponent will feel heard & be more open to hear you out. Plus, this method tricks them into thinking that you actually agree with them. 4- Eyes up hereSource: InstagramIf the argument is pretty much one-sided & you can't get a word in, do this. Keep your eye contact but switch between staring into their eyes & the centre of their forehead. No angry eyes though! A neutral gaze will do. This makes them feel flustered in a way & unable to keep track of their thoughts. When it gets really awkward, they will fall silent. Now, you can serve your strong points on the table.5- Throw in subtle questionsSource: InstagramThis one's from the master himself, Socrates!

SIRIM Stamp For A Fruit? Musang King To Get Proper Qualification To Avoid Overpricing

As unprecedented as it may sound, it is entirely true. Musang King, deemed one of the most expensive and sought-after variations of durian, is getting a SIRIM (The Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia) qualification.
  Why?“This certification can ensure prices depending on durian grade and ensure that the Musang King will not be sold at an unreasonable price," said the Perak state Sirim Berhad director Mohd Adzhar Ahmad. He also added that for that particular purpose, they are currently teaming up with the Perak State Agriculture Department and the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) to establish specific and proper standards for the accreditation, which is expected to be implemented before the year ends.

5 Things That Will Go Back To Old Ways After The Pandemic (Probably)

We've mentioned how the pandemic brought upon many changes to our daily habits and life arrangements. We've also mentioned about 5 things that will change forever in the face of the pandemic, staying well after everything is over. However, some things just never change, and I think we could safely assume these things will go back to the "old normal" if and when we see the end of Covid-19.1. TrafficWhile most people were confined to their houses even for work, there are some who still had to travel to their workplaces daily. For these "lucky" few, there is at least one thing going for them - the traffic, or lack thereof. But, the lack of traffic is not a result of lesser cars being bought and more of just these cars staying at home. When the pandemic is over, expect to participate in the same traffic jam (or even worse) to and from work again.
  2. EducationSure, schools and universities continue to conduct classes as the Movement Control Orders (MCOs) are in place. Teachers and professors continue to impart knowledge using video conferencing software originally meant for work meetings.Even so, the lack of student-teacher interaction you get in a physical class is making it tough even for the best students and teachers to collaborate. This is why we think that education will go back into schools and universities as soon as it is safe.
  3. PoliticsOk, I don't mean to take a cheap shot, but we have seen what can only be described as lacklustre in the efforts of those in power to help those in need throughout this pandemic. Although there are a few exceptions, many politicians have done nothing more than posting a picture of them having instant noodles in "support" of the people. If the political situation in the country will not change for the better even in the midst of a global pandemic, I'm not sure it ever will.
  4. TravelNo matter how advance technology gets, how good virtual reality (VR) can be, or how much often Google Earth updates, nothing beats actual travelling. Oh, how we've missed the long waits at the airport and using our passport, or the cool breeze in our face and our feet in the sand. Many people are dying to get out of their homes, states, and countries and we are bound to see a huge spike in travel demand (hopefully soon).
  5. SportsAs is the case for travel, no technology can replace physical activities when it comes to sports. Yes, a Nintendo Switch and a Ring Fit or an app that helps you exercise with just a smartphone might get you to burn some calories, but the lack of social interactions and competitions make it less fun. After all this, I'm sure we'll have second thoughts when finding excuses to avoid shooting hoops with our friends.
  So, what else do you think will go back to the "old normal" after the pandemic? Do you think we'll ever get to go back? We'll just have to wait and see.


Sarawak Minister's Says There Is Nothing Wrong With Visiting Others' House Of Worship

According to a recent statement made by Sarawak's Minister, there is nothing wrong with visiting houses of worship of other faiths.Doing so would not diminish your faith as a Muslim or cause you to convert if you were to visit a church or temple.He was addressing the recent criticism of Hannah Yeoh, Minister of Youth and Sports, for her participation in the "Jom Ziarah Gereja" programme.The majority of residents in Sarawak, including himself, have attended missionary schools, thus this would not be an issue there.Hannah Yeoh has good intentions and is probably attempting to boost Malaysians' tolerance and openness towards one another."Don't tell me the Muslims are so low in their faith that they will become Christians just by taking them to church," he said.

Netflix’s Popular Matchmaker Says Nick Jonas & Priyanka Chopra Are Not Compatible! Here’s Why:

Professional matchmaker Sima Taparia is back on television and she's wasted no time sharing her thoughts on women marrying younger men.Sima, based in Mumbai, India, became a worldwide name as the star of Netflix's Indian Matchmaking.The reality series which follows singles in India and the US as they work with Sima in their search for love, debuted its second season this week.Known for her sassy remarks, Sima has already caught viewers attention for saying that actress Priyanka Chopra and singer Nick Jonas were a bad match due to their age gap.In episode two of the new season, Sima is seen advising her client Nadia Jagessar against dating a man seven years younger than her.Nadia jokingly brings up the 10-year gap between Priyanka and Jonas, to which Sima replies: "But I dont feel its a good match, sorry to tell that."He looks so small and petite in front of her, and she looks elder, Sima adds, as Nadia laughs nervously in shock.Priyanka, 40, and Jonas who turns 30 on September 16, tied the knot in 2018, and welcomed their first child Malti Marie Chopra Jonas via surrogacy in January.Earlier in the conversation, Sima said such age gaps were detrimental due to differences in maturity."Two-three years okay, but seven years younger... they'll have a difference."Maturity is very important. You are more mature because you are seven years elder, she said to her client.Despite its popularity, Indian Matchmaking has earned criticism for its portrayal of love and relationships within South Asian communities.

4 Ways To Use Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a common edible oil, but what you might not know is that it can also have many other unexpected uses. Many celebrities introduce it into their body care routines too! Check out the 4 ways you can use coconut oil and make sure to keep this article bookmarked!
  1. Coconut Oil ScrubUsing a scrub made of coconut oil to exfoliate your skin will leave it smooth and moisturized. Simply mix half a cup of coconut oil melted at low temperatures with a cup of brown sugar to get a low-cost, natural scrub that is not one bit harmful to the skin. You can say goodbye to specialty scrubs and have a organic, DIY one at home!
  2. Hair MaskIf you want a head of beautiful, straight hair, a hair mask is crucial to your haircare routine. That's right, masks are not just for your face! Mix 3 - 5 tablespoons of coconut oil with 20 drops of rosemary oil and apply it evenly on your hair. Keep your hair in a shower cap for 30 - 60 minutes before washing it off. Soon after, the volume and smoothness of your hair will be the envy of all!
  3. Eye Makeup RemoverBesides replacing hair masks, coconut oil can be used to replace makeup removers, especially eye makeups. Just dab some cotton pads with suitable amounts of coconut oil and tenderly remove your eye makeup. Remember that the skin is much softer around the eyes, so be sure to be gentle. Excessive or hard rubbing around the eyes will increase the generation of wrinkles.

Not only is it affordable, it moisturizes the skins fairly well, perfect for those with drier skin. Perhaps, with this tip, you will be getting more massages from your other half?In addition to being edible, coconut oil can be applied externally.

How To Stop Overthinking Everything | Love Yourself

Overthinking is agonizing. Overthinking is repetitive. Overthinking is painful.Overthinking is all of the above, and many more. While it may be hard to grapple with this issue, finding the underlying causes and solutions to heal yourself is an act of self-care and love.So what are the things that constantly put your mind in a state of worry? How do you seek help, if not from others, but yourself?1. Distract yourself
  Whenever you feel like getting pulled into those dark thoughts again, choose happiness over despair. Do the things that give you contentment and satisfaction. Start finding things that can distract you from overthinking, such as watching cooking shows or even mukbang! You are your own key of happiness.2. Stop expecting perfect scenarios
  Nothing and nobody is perfect. Always remind yourself not to have high expectations of people or situations, because you'll end up disappointing yourself.  Whatever circumstances that arise, know that you can always be mindful of the outcome.3. Put your fear behind
  Divert your channel of thought by identifying your fear and putting it in the past. Constantly fearing the things that worry you the most will only put a toll on your mental health. If doing this seems hard, then have a hearty talk with a family member or friend to ease your worries.4. Live in the moment
  No one can control the future. Being worried of it will only rob your happiness and make you constantly unsatisfied of the present. If you've received good news on something that you worked so hard for, cherish and celebrate it with your loved ones. Stop planning on how you should take the next step, that's for later!5. Embrace your flaws
  Manifest these positive thoughts: you are smart, you are worthy, you are beautiful. Don't ever let anybody bring you down by telling you otherwise. You know your worth so embrace whatever good values you have and set your heart into realizing them.
