Send us Fan Mail Lux is the standard scientific unit used to measure illuminance, or the amount of light that actually hits and illuminates a surface. It is defined as one lumen per square meter  The word "lux" comes from the Latin word for light, (pronounced looks, genitive: lucis)

Send us Fan Mail An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another, temporarily blocking light. An eclipse is temporary. The light isn’t destroyed. Nothing disappears. It’s simply obscured for a moment because of alignment

Send us Fan Mail The Spanish word "tigueraje" is pronounced "tee-geh-RA-heh".  It is a colloquial term derived from the word "tigre" (tiger), and the "-aje" suffix is a Dominican addition that gives it a unique pronunciation and meaning. "Tigueraje" refers to the actions or behavior of a "tiguere," a Dominican slang term for a street-smart, cunning, and resourceful person who is a survivor and knows how to get what they want.

Send us Fan Mail As if sharing parents wasn’t enough, Malaak and Yousuf decided to take things one step further and head to university in the same city — because clearly lifelong proximity wasn’t optional, it was destiny. CF10 is our little postcode chapter: first year meets third year, expectations meet reality, and we sit down to compare notes on fears, growth, and figuring it out in real time — together.

Send us Fan Mail In this heartfelt episode of Novelties, we dive into the vulnerability and strength it takes to ask for help and the compassion behind offering it. From navigating the fear of appearing weak to embracing the beauty of human connection, this conversation is a reminder that we’re never truly alone. We’re so happy to have Sarah join us as a guest, bringing her unique perspective and warmth to this deeply personal topic. Together, we reflect on the power of reaching out and the importance of showing up for others with kindness and care.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we dive into the concept of individualisation—the process of becoming your unique self in a world that often expects conformity. From navigating life’s unexpected "live-action jump scares" to adapting to the unpredictable curveballs thrown our way, we explore how these experiences shape our identities. We’ll discuss the tension between societal expectations and personal growth, how to embrace the journey of self-discovery, and the importance of celebrating individuality in a world that often values sameness. This episode is a reminder that your story, no matter how unpredictable, is yours to write. Key Takeaway: It’s not about fitting into a mold; it’s about embracing who you are—even when the road feels uncertain.

Send us Fan Mail Malaak is back to her solo episodes, enjoy a heartfelt and personal discussion about communication!

Send us Fan Mail Confrontation—it's a word that often carries weight, a task we’d rather sidestep than face head-on. But in this episode, we lean into the discomfort. Confrontation isn’t just about standing your ground or proving a point; it’s about creating clarity, honoring boundaries, and seeking growth, even when it feels impossibly difficult. In this episode, 'Lawati' and 'Lawatiya' sit down with Zeina to unpack the courage it takes to address conflict head-on. From standing up for ourselves to navigating difficult truths, we explore how confrontation, when handled with authenticity, can lead to clarity, healing, and growth. Together, we share personal stories and insights on the power of honest dialogue, reminding us all that sometimes, the hardest conversations pave the way for deeper understanding.
