Nineteen Arab women journalists speak out about what it's like to report on their changing homelands in this first-of-its-kind essay collection, with a foreword by CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour

A growing number of intrepid Arab and Middle Eastern sahafiyat--female journalists--are working tirelessly to shape nuanced narratives about their changing homelands, often risking their lives on the front lines of war. From sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo to the difficulty of traveling without a male relative in Yemen, their challenges are unique--as are their advantages, such as being able to speak candidly with other women at a Syrian medical clinic or attend an exclusive beauty contest for sheep in Saudi Arabia.

In Our Women on the Ground, nineteen of these women tell us, in their own words, about what it's like to report on conflicts that (quite literally) hit close to home. Their daring and heartfelt stories, told here for the first time, shatter stereotypes about the region's women and provide an urgently needed perspective on a part of the world that is frequently misunderstood.

Perfect for giving my dull skin a extra boost
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
Really great moisturizer for my entire body. I have been having issues with my skin looking dull & dry even after using lotion. I’ve realized b/c I am 40+ I need to add an extra layer with a little extra in the ingredients to bring my skin back to life & this has really did a good job so far. I love it. I originally bought it for my day for prom to give her extra shine that will last all night & it did an amazing job on her “young” skin & made it glow so beautifully. Then I said, let’s see what it will do for momma & started using it. I like it b/c it doesn’t leave residue on clothes & it’s not too thick or oily it’s perfect. After the shower this is my got to & a night out I will definitely add a layer of this & hit the road. I definitely recommend this product if you are looking for anything I mentioned above. I will be buying my daughter another bottle & myself as well & adding to subscription list.

New Summer skincare routine staple!
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
Wow! This oil is amazing! It smells heavenly and feels dreamy! It leaves your skin looking beautiful with a stunning shimmer. It hydrates without an oily or sticky feeling and feels lightweight and soft on the skin. It is really such a great value because it barely takes any product to hydrate your skin. This will be a staple for my Summer skincare routine!

Overrated
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
I wanted to like this. I had it in my shopping cart for over a year. When I got a gift card during Christmas, I used it on this product. It was quite underwhelming, in my opinion. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving a soft glow without feeling greasy, which I really appreciated. It layers well under clothing and doesn’t leave any sticky residue. The hydration is decent thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane, and nourishing oils, but I didn’t notice a dramatic difference compared to other quality body lotions. While the idea of 24K gold sounds luxurious, I didn’t see a noticeable improvement in firmness or redness reduction. I also found myself using ALOT in order to get even close to the results that are advertised. I am a big fan of using oils and I've used better / more affordable ones. The toasted vanilla scent is pleasant and warm, with a slightly sweet, creamy finish, but the scent was fleeting and did not last. Overall, it’s an OK oil with a nice scent and feel, but the results didn’t stand out enough to fully justify the premium, spa-like claims and price.

Good size bottle, not favorite but a good body oil.
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
While I wouldn’t necessarily call this the *best* glitter body oil I’ve ever tried as it’s quite messy to apply, it’s still certainly become a summer staple on my vanity. Being an ex smoker with the smokers skin problem living in the dry AZ desert, the Hyaluronic Acid in it is a plus. It is a thicker oil though, that isn’t as quick to dry & no where near enough glitter in it imo compared to others marketed for their gold glitter (like the Tarte glitter body oil that I like which is a bit thinner & quicker to absorb w/ more glitter appearance on the skin), but it is a fairly large sized bottle that lasts me awhile. When I originally bought my first bottle it was about 1/2 price it is now, so for how thick/messy & not quickly absorbing it is, kind of just staying wet & glossy on top of my skin making it easy to wipe off rather than wiping in… I’m not sure I’d say the value for the money is quite there anymore at $40 or something a bottle. Sure, it’s a bigger bottle than most that still charge me $30, but it’s just not as good a quality of product. . Kopari in general just hasn’t been what I was used to it being for a little while now since exploding into this huge brand… That all said, I still find myself coming back to buy a second bottle, lol. The Kopari sales reps are right when they say it works much better when mixed into the whipped Kopari lotion & then a little goes a lot longer a way & absorbs better for that softer not so oily skin. Overall, it is kind of expensive for what it is quality wise, but the amount you get some would say is a good value for your money. I’d say the quality could be better for the value, but it’s def not a ‘bad’ body oil by any stretch, especially when mixed with the lotion. It’s my secondary backup to go to that comes with enough to last me longer & supplement my better quality better absorbing more expensive oils. If you like a thicker glitter body oil that isn’t too glittery & you use a lot of body oil, this may be a good one for you. If you have dry skin & prefer to use lotion & only a little glitter body oil mostly in the sun to add glitter & help draw in the sun for a tan & want a thinner faster absorbing oil, this may not be the one for you- even if it comes with a hefty amount for the $40 price point compared to others at same price point.
