PureGym Ditmars sucks, need gym reccos!

Hey there!

I’m currently a member of Puregym ditmars (ex Matrix Fitness) and I loved the gym but am so disappointed by all the changes. The sauna is most likely gone, it’s messier in there now, but my last straw is the paper towel dispensers being empty! literally so gross. I know not everyone wipes down after using a machine, but for those who do, this is just unacceptable.

If anyone already canceled their membership and moved to other gyms, where did you go?? Would love any recommendations for other gyms in the area please! I don’t have a car so hopefully it’s 10-15 min walk or train/bus ride.

Don’t care about much other than the distance, a fair price point (i pay $70 rn and wont go above) and a sauna would be nice.

TYIA!

Lace Hijabs

I’ve noticed a lot of companies are selling lace hijabs, which i get is trendy. But so many of them look alike that i wonder if they’re all getting it from China and pricing them so high.

I know Klay the label drop ships from China. Now Yara the collection has similar hijabs launching today and I bet they’re going to be $30 USD. I love their quality but I wonder if it’s the same wholesaler.

I will say, at least Vela tried to be a little different and added a different border and hopefully kept to their promise of in house designs/manufacturing (i think in India?)

Hijabs for desi clothes???

Salaam! This question is for my SouthAsian hijabis: how do you wear modal with desi dresses that have gems, stonework, sequins, etc?? I’ve ruined three modal hijabs because they’ve caught onto the heavy work or a sequins snagged a thread and the modal scarf is textured now. Some pics attached.

I feel like now I need to exclusively wear Chiffon hijabs but i don’t know how to properly wear it in a flattering way 😭 Let me know how you style your desi clothes!

Vela vs Veiled Pink comparison

Salaam!!

I have Cameo Pink modal from Veiled. Is Sakura Pink from Vela the same color? If anyone has these two, could you please compare?

The one from Veiled washed me out a little so I don’t want to purchase the same color. I’m looking for a more sweet baby pink than pastel pink.
