A searingly honest memoir of one young woman's journey toward self-acceptance as she comes to see her body as a symbol of rebellion and hope and chooses to live her life unapologetically. Ever since she was little, Leah Vernon was told what to believe and how to act. There wasn't any room for imperfection. Good Muslim girls listened more than they spoke. They didn't have a missing father or a mother with mental illness. They didn't have fat bodies or grow up wishing they could be like the white characters they saw on TV. They didn't have husbands who abused and cheated on them. They certainly didn't have secret abortions. In Unashamed, Vernon takes to task the myth of the perfect Muslim woman with frank dispatches on her love-hate relationship with her hijab and her faith, race, weight, mental illness, domestic violence, sexuality, the millennial world of dating, and the process of finding her voice. She opens up about her tumultuous adolescence living at the poverty line with her fiercely loving but troubled mother, her deadbeat dad, and her siblings, and the violent dissolution of her 10-year marriage. Tired of the constant policing of her clothing in the name of Islam and Western beauty standards, Vernon reflects on her experiences with hustling paycheck to paycheck, body-shaming, and redefining what it means to be a "good" Muslim. Irreverent, youthful, and funny, Unashamed gives anyone who is marginalized permission to live unapologetic, confident lives.Binding Type: Hardcover

On My 5th Bottle – That Says It All
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my fifth bottle of Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil, and that alone should say how much I love it.
It removes makeup effortlessly, including stubborn mascara and long-wear products, without irritating my skin. The formula feels gentle and nourishing, not heavy or greasy. It rinses clean and leaves my skin feeling soft and balanced rather than stripped.
I appreciate that it works well even on sensitive skin and doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It has become a staple in my routine, and I keep repurchasing because it consistently delivers.
Highly recommend if you want an effective yet gentle cleansing oil that truly works.

Ideal for double cleansing
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Removes makeup and sunscreen just fine, although it doesn’t remove my nyx eyeliner. Does not foam, turns into a milky texture. Leaves a slignt oil film over the skin after removing with water, warm water seems to remove it a little better. I don’t mind too much since it’s the first step to my nightly double cleanse, I go over with another cleanser after. I like that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight after.

Amazing product for dry, mature skin.
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used Micellar water for years and this is a nice addition as it is very moisturizing, especially for mature skin (I also live in a very dry climate). Great for removing stubborn mascara and eye makeup.

Fabulous product for makeup removal
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this. I use a good squirt, massage into skin, including onto eyelids and lashes, then wet my hands, and massage into face further, which creates some suds. Then I use a disposable washcloth. I make it wet and wipe it all off. The makeup comes right off my face, including mascara, and my face feels soft and not dry at all afterwards. I’m on my second bottle.
