Article: In the Qur'an, Allah commands that women should only expose that which must ordinarily appear. Many interpret this to mean that only a woman's hands, face, (and sometimes feet) may be displayed. Women honor this rule of modesty by wearing a hijab, a veil that wraps around their head, leaving the face uncovered while completely concealing their hair, neck, and chest. You may choose from several types of hijabs, or head coverings. Pick the one that is right for you: Shayla: Wrap this rectangular scarf around your head and use a pin to secure it at your shoulders. Khimar: Wear this cape-like scarf wrapped tightly around your head. It will hang loosely at your mid-back. Chador: If you prefer more coverage, choose this floor-length scarf. It is a longer version of the Khimar. Niqab: The niqab is a cloth face covering chosen by many Muslim women to provide additional protection. Burqa: The burqa will cover you from head-to-toea small mesh panel over your eyes is the only opening. Traditionally, hijabs come in plain, non-attention-grabbing colors, like black, white, blue, and brown. If you feel comfortable wearing colors and patterns, a fashionable scarf from your local department store may be substituted for a solid colored hijab. Under your hijab, wear loose, non-revealing tops and bottoms. Sheer and or figure-hugging clothing should be avoided. Remember, the type of clothing you wear under your hijab is completely dependent upon your comfort level and understanding of modesty. Ask your parents for a second opinion if you are unsure about a certain piece of clothing. If you prefer full coverage, shop for maxi skirts, wide leg pants, long dresses and abayas. Want to wear skinny jeans or leggings? Pair them under a long flowing top or dress. If you want to wear a tighter outfit, cover it up with an abaya, jilbab or mumu. Like bright colors and patterns, make-up should be worn sparingly. If you choose to wear make-up on a daily-basis, go for a natural look. Apply minimal amounts of foundation, blush, mascara, and lip-gloss to enhance your natural beauty and features. Avoid chunky necklaces and statement earrings. Instead, select small, dainty pieces of jewelry that can easily be tucked under your hijab. If you are open to accessorizing your look, try to chose adornments that are understated. Avoid any ostentatious branded or designer hijabs.

Article: You can purchase hanging pots and hooks from any home and garden store. Hanging plants are both attractive and cat-proof! You can find deterrent sprays in the pet store that won't harm your plant, but will discourage your cat from poking around it. A good example of a safe product is "Get Off," but always make sure to check the label before buying a deterrent product. Some of these sprays might actually hurt your plant. You can make your own deterrent spray at home, as well. Make a mixture of one part vinegar to three parts water, and spritz it onto the leaves of your plant. Cats hate the smell, and it doesn't hurt your plant! This is best done with "remote punishment." The idea is to make the cat associate approaching the plant with something bad, like getting sprayed in the face with water. However, you don't want the cat to associate the punishment with you. You want your cat to think the punishment came out of nowhere. Booby trap the plant by using putting a can of compressed air that's activated by a motion sensor near it. These pet-training aids can be purchased in pet stores or online. When your cat approaches plant, he'll get a blast of compressed air. This doesn't hurt him, but it'll make him think twice about approaching the plant again. For example, if you spray the cat with water or shout at him, your cat will associate the punishment with you. He may well stop eating the plant when you're around, but he'll probably keep doing what he wants when you're out of the room. Punishing the cat yourself actually makes him more devious. He also might grow a little frightened of you, which isn't the relationship you want with your pet. Put tin foil down around the plant, or a plastic carpet protector with the knobby side up. Your cat may not be willing to walk across an unpleasant surface to get to your plants. Collect and wash out empty cans whether for canned vegetables or soft drinks. Line them up along the edge of the table where you keep your plants, then add more rows on top to form a wall. When your cat jumps up and knocks them down, the noisy clamor will send him flying. He'll think twice about approaching your plants after enough scares. This might sound quirky, but products like Silent Roar contain lion feces. Though you won't be able to smell it, your cat will, and he'll get the message that a powerful stranger has already claimed the plant as part of his territory.
