September 2018 www.womanthismonth.com news 14 Letters My hair is always a mess in this season, due to the excessive heat and humidity. Needless to say, I’m always in bad-hairday mood. But I tried Asgar Saboo’s hair styling tips, and also Joz Salon & Spa’s article about how to deal with my difficult tresses, and I must say, I’m not doing too bad. Asfiya, Hidd Thank you WTM for highlighting a very common problem that we women face – spider veins. Its something that I know women across all ages to be affected with. Now that you have given us some reliable solutions, I know I can fix my problem and then look at your fantastic fashion pages to get some wardrobe inspiration! Emily, Jasra I was flipping through Woman This Month magazine while waiting at the dentist’s, and I felt happy to note that you feature such strong women who are gaining recognition for being leaders and innovators in their chosen fields. What’s important in this day and age is for our youth to read about such inspiring, real personalities and make them their role models. I especially enjoyed reading about pilot Sabine Diemt and Shoenvious co-founder Saudin Noddings. And I felt much braver walking in for my root canal as well.

The photo on the site's US Instagram page is a close-up shot of a model wearing one of the brand's lip colours. Her lips are perfectly shaded and lined, but a closer look reveals her upper lip hairs. Instagram users had mixed reactions. Some said that they loved the fact that the facial hair was not photoshopped, and thanked the company for “keeping it real”. But it didn’t go down well with others who were quick to criticise the brand for it. www.bbc.com Hashtag Your Generosity A new hashtag is trending across Instagram and Twitter, illustrating an almost entirely philanthropic exercise. The 'Tip the Bill Challenge' encourages restaurant diners to leave 100 per cent tips on their meals — a trend that seems to have sprung up earlier this year. There are already 665 posts under the #tipthebillchallenge hashtag on Instagram, with many users praising the virtues of customer service employees in their captions. So far, it seems the majority of participants are based in America. Will the generous trend spread across the pond? ww.independent.co.uk I have been trying to figure out whether I could go vegan at this point in my life, and your feature on veganism comes just at the right time. If I do it, it’s going to be all or nothing. So, it’s nice to know that our tiny island does have options to sustain this niche market. Chef Kostas Magoulas’s creations are encouraging me to embrace this lifestyle and hearing from so many women in your magazine talk about being vegan, I think I might be on the path to making the big change.
