Hello! So I did my undergrad in Industrial design. I loved the degree but in my country we don't have much of an industry and there aren't a lot of jobs. I ended up shifting my focus to UI/UX in my final year (did freelancing and am currently working at a company for over a year).

Although I enjoy UI/UX I am starting to feel like I need to broaden my scope and work towards something more specialized.

I am either considering masters or a course I could do abroad since my home country doesn't have as many options. I need a starting point on what fields/courses/majors I can look into since I have no idea where to start and there is so much stuff that constantly evolving on a day by day basis.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated since I am feeling pretty lost. Thank you

I (25F) got engaged to my fiancé (27M) last June after only meeting him twice. I wasn’t fully comfortable getting engaged so quickly, but both families felt it was the right step and he seemed like a good person.

Right after the engagement, he moved to the UK to look for a job after finishing his master’s. The plan was that he’d find something within a few months and we’d get married in December. We stayed in touch through calls and texts, and overall I still felt he was a good match.

But December came and he still hadn’t found a job. He kept delaying his return home, saying he wanted to try a little longer. By March, when I pushed for clarity, he admitted he still wanted to do other things first like getting his license and travelling around Europe more.

He finally came back in April, and my father arranged a good job for him here starting in June. But last week he got a temporary UK job contract for 1 year and 4 months and decided to take it. I told him I’d support his decision, but when I asked what this meant for our marriage plans, he said he hadn’t thought about it yet and that we should “see what the elders say.”

That really bothered me. He agreed to this rishta willingly, but it feels like none of the decisions he has been making has marriage in mind. I’ve put parts of my life on hold to avoid delaying things further, while he seems to just go with the flow without seriously thinking about our future together.

I know marriage is a priority for him but I really don't want to do LDR after getting married and would rather have a longer engagement. I have other things that I feel unsatisfied with in this relationship and this feels like the last straw that is pushing me to end it. I want to make things work but at the same time I feel like none of this is going anywhere.

Need advice on how to deal with all of this please.

My parents bought gold for my coming wedding recently that exceeds the Nisab. With Eid coming soon I am unsure if I am eligible since one lunar year hasn't passed since ownership.

In addition, if I were to take part in it I am a bit confused on how the distribution of shares work. I have seen people sharing the cost of a goat and my mother has suggested that for me since I cannot afford the cost of an entire goat. But from what I am seeing online a goat is only equal to one person's share.

Can someone please provide guidance and resources that I can look into to get more clarity please.

I have never really taken care of my skin. I used to use medicated sunscreen when I went out but that's it.

I recently got a cleanser by Vince and a vitamin C serum that I started using regularly and I see a slight improvement. I also got the beauty of Joseon eye cream but I am also out of it so any alternatives for thay would be great.

I want to improve my skin care routine but most of the products I see online are very expensive or not available here easily.

I want to add a peptide serum for anti aging. Better recommendations for cleansers would be great too. I have slight acne scars on one side of my face that I want to get rid of so anything for that would be appreciated. If there is a site or a page that sells products that would also be great.
