					<description><![CDATA[<p>“I can buy myself flowers,” said singer and songwriter Miley Cyrus in her famous song Flowers. A song that exudes self-empowerment, Flowers should be every woman’s anthem — a powerful reminder to practice self-love. February is normally known as the month of love — where pink hearts and red flowers dot every corner and plaster every shop. Galentine’s Day is typically celebrated on 13 February, before Valentine’s Day. It originated from the American sitcom ‘Parks and Recreation’ (2009) to celebrate and honor female friendships. Yet, while Valentine’s Day can seem like a day exclusively for romantic love — Galentine’s Day is a testament to the powerful love of platonic soulmates. Whether through a major Galentine’s Day celebration with close friends or a simple gift exchange, here are some local Egyptian brands from which to spoil the ‘gals’. Make-up and Skin Care From lip oils and tinted moisturizers to serums and cleansers: Mother Naked and Godly Pride are two local brands that have redefined the make-up and skin care game in Egypt. They also have bundles on their website for those who want to buy a little bit of everything.

On the top of that list in living Arab history are Mourid Al-Barghouti, the Palestinian poet, and Radwa Ashour, the Egyptian literary. In 1944, Mourid Al-Barghouti was born &#8211; a new addition to the large Barghouti family &#8211; in Deir Ghassana, near Ramallah, Palestine. At only four years old, Al-Barghouti and his family were forced to leave Palestine, following the Nakba of 1948. The family, large and united, were forced apart, scattered across the world, only reuniting in a single city for a few days or a week at the most every few years. Fate intervened, sending Mourid to Egypt after his acceptance into Cairo University to study English Literature. In 1946, Radwa Ashour was born to lawyer and literature enthusiast Mustafa Ashour, and poet and artist Mai Azzam, in a house in El-Manial, near the<a href="https://egyptianstreets.com/2022/02/14/mourid-al-barghouti-and-radwa-ashour-a-love-story-entrenched-in-resistance/">Continue reading <span class="sr-only">"Mourid Al-Barghouti and Radwa Ashour: A Love Story Entrenched in Resistance"</span></a></p>
