I love your message about telling young people not to grow up too fast. I 100% agree with that! I am a little sad, though, that you kept saying you were "chunky" or that your cheeks were big. I think you were absolutely beautiful! Plus we can't always control those sorts of things, anyway. My sister has battled an eating disorder for years because she worried about how wide her face was. There are more important things! Easier said than felt, obviously. :)
honestly. people. get over yourself. stop telling her what way to wear the hijab. its ok because its her style. we cant digest it coz its different. if u dont like it dont do it. atleast she is doing something. i am a muslim i dont even wear a hijab. she wears a scarf. evrybody has their own thing. u can already see enough comments about her hijab. it's not important for everyone to jump in and start commenting about it.
If all is your choice then what is the place of Allah subhanahu wa taala I. Yours..how do you say you obey Allah and messanger.... That is what a Muslim does right
It's quiet ironic how there are many people commenting and questioning on Dinas faith because of the attire she's wearing. The majority of you probably don't pray at all, go out or even worse and the funny thing is that it's the men having the audacity to complain. I know many Muslim girls that cover up for show and are a far cry from being a Muslim. You can clearly see the baggy clothes she wears, the scarf around her neck and her own style of hijab. We are in no position to judge. So sit back and watch or remove yourself.
I don't think they're questioning her faith her faith has nothing to do with wearing hijab (her not wearing a hijab for example makes her lacking in certain area yeah but it doesn't affect her faith) hijab should cover certain areas if it is not then it's not called hijab, you're just wearing modestly.. hijab should cover neck, all hair, and ears plus people shouldn't judge her but they're ought to advise her or at least acknowledge that this is not a hijab do other little girls when they decide to wear it they wear it correctly ..
Im 19 right now and so many people that I went to school with look so grown up now and look stylish with cool makeup and here I am looking like a 14/15 year old girl haha And even tho sometimes I get upset when I see pics of people my own age who look grown up and amazing, I know that one day I will shine!!♥ Haha but no seriously, I think everyone "upgrades" in there own time. Some in their teens, some in the twenties etc Just a matter of patience and finding yourself :)
Love you Dina. Your style is so inspirational to young British muslim girls... keep smiling and may Allah grant u all the happiness and bless you with a healthy little baby (Ameen )
I am the same age as you Dina and you are literaly describing my life, lol even the thinking I'm hot in pictures where as i'm not as confident these days. I feel nostalgic watching this. You are also so right about teens these days growing up too quickly. I think we had such DIY eyebrow phases whereas girls these days have amazing eyebrows and makeup, it is kinda sad. Loved this video xoxo
Aww this video was so cute! For me, I went through a dying my hair bleach blonde phase and even tho when I look at the pics now I can see all the streaks where I couldn't reach my head. I feel sorta happy I went through my awkward stage and can be happy with who I am now. I do wonder in a few years time will my kids look at what I call 'Style' now and laugh at me! Silly that people are criticizing Dina for comments on how she said she was 'Chubby' regardless of what she was like or what happened. Its more important that she is happy now. Being able to say 'That was me' and 'This is me now' takes courage and Dina did it all while making us laugh!
This actually makes me feel better about myself lol. I'm 16 and seeing other people my age look so pretty and look hot and look waaaayyy older than 16.. Just makes me feel bad but now I know I'm not alone. Do a video on this topic?
We are of the same generation. I took a lot of selfies for MySpace when I was 15/16. I'm always surprised when I see how grown up teenagers look these days!! Side note: I love how you're wearing your headscarf in this video. It looks really good :) x
Such fun to watch! It's great to see how much your sense of style has evolved. You're a beautiful person Dina...because you don't take yourself serious. I'm the same way! If you saw my throwback photos..they would make you chucke too!
Thank you for sharing your pics. Its so refreshing to see how you looked in your 16\early 20s. I was a late bloomer too on make up and fashion but I'm so glad i allowed myself not to grow up too early x
Omg Dina I absolutely love this video. Honestly I know exactly what you mean about kids growing up too fast. I'm 23 now Alhamdulillah and I just learnt how to do my make up because it's so mainstream now. My youngest sister however is 19 and knows a lot more about fashion than I did. Lol. They don't know the struggle. The struggle !! Sigh. I miss it though. Love this video. Thank you xxx
This made me laugh so hard. I'm 34 now and when I look back on how I used to think and act as a teen I cringe sooo hard. My friend and 8 used to pose and take pictures of each other and thing we were straight outta vogue haha
thank you for talking about your self discovery of your race and identity in highschool I'm pakistani american and I went through a period in my third year of highschool where I was really faith oriented and proud of being muslim. Hearing about your talking experience was really nice so thank you!
I thought alot of the editorial photos were brilliant! My fave had to be the "Dina Tokio inspired by Chanel". And there was a Muslimah fashion designer who used a big turban style also. I forget her name.But I really liked the hijab style you started wearing whilst visiting Venice. InShaAllaah young women will take a page from your book and love themselves more.As a teenager you were confident and secure in yourself.You was "feelin yo-self".You had your own style and you wore it well. And that's a good thing.Thanks for the trip down your memory lane. P.S. Those straight brows you sportin in some of the pics are back.I call'em the Queen Amadala(Star Wars) brow.And they're making a comeback.
You're so funny!! And so right for setting a good example for young girls who follow you, especially as like you said the role models of today are the Kardashians and the Jenners. Think the key thing is to be able to look back and see how we blossom and stop striving for a perfection created by the media 💕
I find it really discusting that at the end all comes to hijab and modesty. There are A LOT of other virtues that a girl can have and may be more important for Allah, like kindness, compasion, diligence and so on. But all MEN care is that the woman shows or not her body.
MsVio99 It has a lot of different names, but whether it's hijabi shaming or slut shaming, men in every part of the world attempt in some way to control what women wear and blame women for the bad sexual behavior of men.
Dina you're amazing ! I'm a recent convert and you inspire me everyday. love your style and your personality thanks for sharing with us all sister. masha'allah 💞
LOL I love how she says, " I thought it could have gone in bloody vogue." like that's unrealistic. I have actually seen pics like that in magazines. Beauty standards are really not the same everywhere and I just looooooovved some of these pics, honey. Your beauty is so versatile and that creativity is so much better than any vogue beauty standard.
You're awesome Dina. I'm almost 22 years old and when I look at pictures in middle school and even high school I ask myself what the hell was I smoking lol(never actually did drugs nor do I now). But it's so refreshing now to look and compare with kids now days. Thanks for sharing. As always bless you, your husband and your baby.
I love this video and it's such a great idea! You're so right how we all go through this phase and its great to see how your creativity has progressed Amazing :)
I love that you did this it's completely adorable. I must say though, I have found none of your pictures embarrassing. My pictures on the other hand, GOOD LORD lol love you Dina!
Hi Dina, I just wanted to tell you how much I agree with you. Girls, keep being girls ! And honestly, I've never felt so much beautiful and confident now I've reached the 30 Milestone ! Dont worry girls, aging is cool !
I think every hijabi ever has that stage where they have the most voluminous and biggest hijab style that goes on for months until they realize it looks crazy! Guilty af
Ok And? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA my mom also told me not to do that but i always felt like it looked better that way. But looking back at it, i am so embarassing 😂😭😂
You're literally the funniest person on here, and you and sid together are just even worse! Always have me cracking up in every video, no joke. Must admit i thought you were like a lot of other bloggers nowadays but you're actually soo down to earth, it's really refreshing to see. And this video proves it. I'm 16 and everyone my age are like skipping the 'in-between, embarrassing' stage, and i'm kinda just chilling out and doing it my own way cos I know that they're just being influenced by others. HATE trends. One thing thats really annoying tho is how people look down on you just cos you're not at the same stage as everyone my age nowadays, but i know its normal
Love this color scheme! The lip color brings it all together. I think I'm going to say that for every. single. video. Anyway, the Venice style was actually pretty cool, in my opinion.
None of these are loser-ish or embarassing in any way, shape or form. I actually found them to be fairly sweet and heartwarming. Not everyone starts out big, perfect or a fully-formed individual. You have to work your way up and evolve. That's why this video was so cute - it showcases the growth of a person.
LMAO this video made me laugh (and kind of feel better about myself) because I did a LOT of those styles when I was growing up (I think we're the same age) I cleasrly remember the "Spanish" style era LOL Also in your Hijab story video you said that when you first started to wear it, the main style was to wear it in a rectangle with one piece pinned to the top and I wore exactly the same style when I was in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades lmao
Assalamu'alaikum Dina. I only discovered you this year, so it's great to see the older photos of you, particularly from back when you first started blogging. Lovely of you to share them too. Thanks for a great video.
thank you SO much for the reassurance!!!! I'm turning 18 this year and literally everyone i know is extremely gorgeous and popular with over 1000 insta followers, just because of their looks and style. it makes me really depressed because i am no where near being so put together!
Actually loved this video!! The way you got Sid to take some of those pics of you 😭😂 you're so hilarious!! Beautiful then and beautiful now, masha'Allah Xx
loved this video! you were sooo cute dina- and i was exactly the same- esp about the scar under your neck and having it tight 😂😂 you and sid will make wonderful parents in shaa Allah, yes its hard but its sooo much fun too 😄
Ahhhh Dina 😂😂😂 You brave soul lol Your pics brought back memories for me. Im 24 and back in my teen days, i too hardly wore much makeup and my hijab style was cringe. I deleted all my pics from those days because i looked so atrocious 😂 I agree with you, these young girls should enjoy their youth and not rush to look older and overly obsess over their appearance. Although we looked a bit funny back in our days, atleast we were happy xx
Don't worry ladies! Everyone eventually "glows up" if you know what I'm saying. I'm actually thinking of doing a similar video like Dina's here because I have too many embarrassing photos too :)
Your so funny Dina! Love all your videos. Please could you do a back to school makeup look? That would really help me. Thankyou and love you nd your channel!😘
I don't feel so bad by my photos!! They were mid 80's to early 90's. So I had every thing against me! I have all these photo's with strange, 'sucky' cheek poses. Now I know they were my front cover Vogue issues....not! My brows went from sticks (80's) to full bushwhacker in the (90's)! Dina. I think you look cute. Now a beautiful, mother to be. I do love your one in the shiny pink scarf. You look like a little caterpillar emerging. Maybe that is the metaphor for our emerging into women. I just discovered your channel. I love you and Sid, you are both mad as hatters, plus the kitty's. Makes me homesick (U.S), but it is lovely to get English humour again. I just binged watch STELLA, had a terrible Welsh accent for days! :-) xx I am glad that I found your channels.
Oh man Dina, watching your videos make me realize how harsh people are to themselves. I'm just as I'm just as harsh to myself when it comes to beauty and weight. But you really were such a beautiful young girl. 👌👌👌👌
Funny I actually look back on my photos from my teens and early 20s and wished I looked like that now (although I was not particularly confident then or now)!!! :P I get that you are a fashionista and your looks/image are very important to you and your career but it is kind of sad to see you put yourself down so much (even with humour) as a lot of people can only dream of being as gorgeous as you are even in your old photos. I get that it's supposed to be humorous though....and as we all know... it's what's on the inside that matters!!! :)
When I tell people I bought my first make up product at 19 they are always surprised!! And I too thought I was the bees knees :P I used to put bronzer on my cheeks instead of blush because I thought that made me look like a bronze goddess :')
You are so right about the ages and how we should take our time to develop/grow up. I thought exactly the same, how Kylie Jenner looks so womanly (but fake obviously) at such a young age. And when I was at that age I knew shit all about make up or looking 'sexy'. Lol. And I think you look absolutely beautiful in all your pictures! I wouldn't call any of them embarrassing 😂
Sooo funny, youre the best Dina! Youve changed allot, it was nice to see that gradual transformation from girly (age appropriate) cute to sophisticated/classy cute.
As a child I saw Islam as a repressive religion that was horrible to women as I grew up I realize is not like that but I also realize that that stereotype is based on the people that judge other people that also believe in Islam by their looks.Calling someone a slut just because a little bit of her hair is showing yet the Quaran(sorry if I spell it wrong) says don't judge your brothers and sister for their faith because only God can judge their decisions(I read it a long time ago so don't get mad if it's not 100% accurate). This is the thing media uses to portray Islam like a repressive religion towards women,the comments judging other women that believe in Islam the "true believers of Islam" say,so sad these people are making all Muslim seen like that. Ps.English is not my first language so I may have some mistakes don't be rude,I'm trying
This was so refreshing to watch. You are so right about 17 year olds being very sexy now a days. I'm almost 18 and I feel like I'm 12 when it comes to clothes and makeup...I hope I blossom into it as gracefully as you seem to have done :)
hahahahahaha this is so good! I watched you from the very beginning, and when I first started wearing hijab, I copied your style, with the homemade loofah hair volumize (a tutorial of yours in fact), half way through the day the volumiser had slipped off and was dragging my scarf back as well as making it sag, it looked like voldemort was trying to escape!
@Nisa N that's not hijab that she is wearing now it's only fashion you can tell by the difference between her old look and the now ones because hijab should cover all the neck and hair too only the face is showing
These are no where as bad as my old photos! and Dina you were not chubby! you were and are so beautiful! Ma sha Allah! Loved this video....made me laugh ahaha :)
Totally agree with you when you say girls are growing up so fast. When I was 18 I looked nothing like the mass of today's 18 year-year-olds. Also... those bandanas were totally my past as well XD
thumbs up if you think dina should do an advice video for teens and not growing up too fast... or advice videos in general i think she would be great at it!
@Excalibar Eclipse Everyone is evolving except you. You're racist, go back to 1910 because that's where you belong. We're all equal and no one has the right to tell anyone how to live their lives. You're so ignorant.
Dina, I watched with my little daughters and actually we thought you looked really nice in all of the pics. I hope this was all in fun - in that you realize that you are lovely, with or without makeup, a little chubbier or not. Right now you're very beige/bronze and that's fine but in your earlier pictures you have a rosier complexion (makeup-less?) which was also quite nice. You don't at all look ridiculous in any of them.
Nice to see you were so proud and 'bees knees' when you were growing up! you are still young, so it was hardly even a decade ago, so you are growing. I hope you keep on pushing yourself an being as original as you can, try not to put yourself down in your comments, even if you are doing so in humor, be kind to yourself.
Loved the vid Dina, every night I have to watch a vid of urs before bed. Cant believe how different you looked before... and definitely not chubby! Always beautiful, always a unique sense of style
"DONT BLOSSOM TOO FAST" I couldn't agree more! I looked a hot mess in my teens it's only now in my mid 20s that I'm like "Yasssssss, look at what God did!" :D HAHAHA Xx
I had to pause the video to write this -- yes! I am 22 now, so only couple years younger than you are, and I feel like when I was 12, 10 years ago, I was still playing with my younger brother and his friends (no girls my age in the neighbourhood), riding bikes, running around, and at that time I JUST started to look around for some makeup, I would usually only wear a little bit of mascara, a sheer lipgloss or a lipbalm, and maybe a little concealer because I have quite dark undereye area... I wore tomboyish clothes. I never thought it was strange, but nowadays girls that age, around 12-13 dress, and behave way too mature. I think they might miss out a lot.
i find your Old photos very sweet and lovely. mashallah. please dont ever be ashamed of who you were as that is who you are and how you got where you are today. i love watching you and your husband. may Allah reward you. inshallah
I actually think that you looked really cool and stylish in your old photos just as you do now. I like them gangster ones with the bandanas and the hat. you remind me of me. some of these old looks you could bring back. that intricate makeup was bomb too. these old photos make me love your style even more.
Haha 'wow what the hell is wrong with young people' this was funny and so nice to see someone reassuring young people they don't have to grow up so quick :)
Sunna Followers you also shouldnt shame someone publicly, naseeha should be given in private so dont try to justify verbal abuse and bullying with islam
@***** Lol attack. It is funny when I tell you off it is an attack but when you 'advice' people it is not. Hypocrite at the finest. To be honest, no point in talking to people who think so highly of themselves. I am not preventing you from advising people, I am asking you to do it gracefully and in an islamic way but it's hard to tell people that believe they are way better than everyone else. May Allah guide you to be humble and be a better Muslim insyaAllah. Let's see how you like when I tell you off in public. From the previous posts tho, you don't seem to like it lol. Don't bother replying. I am not going to entertain Muslims like you.
This was so funny! I don`t think you should be embarrassed because at least you went through the "Phase" that we all go through if we`re older. Anyways I really adore your style and wish I could be like you
you are definitely judging yourself too harshly. Most of those pictures were okay you were being creative and expressive I don't think that's wrong. If you really liked the big scarf big head thing back then then it was good. You really liked it and that is important and special. I mean honestly soon matte lipsticks will be out of fashion again and companies are going to go back to frost and relabel them as metallics and that will be the thing. Too faced is already doing that. Trends come back around anyway. Do what you like always. No regrets.
listen mate if you disagree with what she is doing then go mind your own business in some other place. ppl can do what ever they like. if you wanna be a really true muslim you shouldn't be on youtube any way go do itikaf in a mosque or something
this is like the evolution of dina's hijab
geisiel cesar Islam is not evil, it’s beautiful. Sadly the people that follow it are evil.
The evolution: from correct hijab to turban to tak hijab off lol
The only evil is you lol.
She took the hijab of so you really should delete your comment
backwards..
That was hilarious. I actually don't take a lot of pictures just to not be embarassed years later.
For me it's not fun, I found it embarrasing of how "stupid I was"
same!!!
hahaha saaame
+Chadia Lamrani no one in the world looks like you , you are unique . your beautiful xxx 💏💟
Haha same 😅
I love your message about telling young people not to grow up too fast. I 100% agree with that! I am a little sad, though, that you kept saying you were "chunky" or that your cheeks were big.

sana iftikhar no one is judging so shut up
But I see you wearing hijab in your photo and you look nice
sana iftikhar
Good point! Mashaalah
Well said Sunna :)

@Rebecca Rahman pppp
What’s wrong with her attire? She looks modest?
I don't think they're questioning her faith her faith has nothing to do with wearing hijab (her not wearing a hijab for example makes her lacking in certain area yeah but it doesn't affect her faith) hijab should cover certain areas if it is not then it's not called hijab, you're just wearing modestly.. hijab should cover neck, all hair, and ears plus people shouldn't judge her but they're ought to advise her or at least acknowledge that this is not a hijab do other little girls when they decide to wear it they wear it correctly ..
Baggy clothes. Lol
Rebecca Rahman You literally just judged people’s praying habits loool hypocrite much??????
Moral of the story: the glo up is real keep going everyone 😂
You are so beautiful mashallah😍
Im 19 right now and so many people that I went to school with look so grown up now and look stylish with cool makeup and here I am looking like a 14/15 year old girl haha And even tho sometimes I get upset when I see pics of people my own age who look grown up and amazing, I know that one day I will shine!!♥ Haha but no seriously, I think everyone "upgrades" in there own time. Some in their teens, some in the twenties etc Just a matter of patience and finding yourself :)
Dina you're giving me hope 😂😩
saaaame
sameee

This should be called a roast. Haha. You actually looked fine in 99% of the photos.
exactly :D
This actually makes me feel better about myself lol. I'm 16 and seeing other people my age look so pretty and look hot and look waaaayyy older than 16.. Just makes me feel bad but now I know I'm not alone. Do a video on this topic?

I find it really discusting that at the end all comes to hijab and modesty. There are A LOT of other virtues that a girl can have and may be more important for Allah, like kindness, compasion, diligence and so on. But all MEN care is that the woman shows or not her body.
All of that is worthless if she is an open fitnah everytime she goes out and commits tabarruj. It's a form of committing zina
MsVio99 It has a lot of different names, but whether it's hijabi shaming or slut shaming, men in every part of the world attempt in some way to control what women wear and blame women for the bad sexual behavior of men.
MsVio99 thanks, finally someone says this
MsVio99 exactly. ❤️️
Dina you're amazing ! I'm a recent convert and you inspire me everyday. love your style and your personality thanks for sharing with us all sister. masha'allah 💞
Loved this video.. Made me chuckle all the way through. I can definitely relate to this Dina and sure girls are growing up way too fast nowadays xx
Hey Dina, you should totally do a reactreating old pictures/looks/outfits, it would be so cool! xx
LOL I love how she says, " I thought it could have gone in bloody vogue." like that's unrealistic. I have actually seen pics like that in magazines. Beauty standards are really not the same everywhere and I just looooooovved some of these pics, honey. Your beauty is so versatile and that creativity is so much better than any vogue beauty standard.
You're awesome Dina. I'm almost 22 years old and when I look at pictures in middle school and even high school I ask myself what the hell was I smoking lol(never actually did drugs nor do I now).

This video had me about finished! Love you Dina, your banter is just the best
I love Dina 😂 the fact that she can laugh at herself now
Dina I absolutely think you ARE genius!!! you brighten my day all the time!! xx
Hi Dina, I just wanted to tell you how much I agree with you. Girls, keep being girls ! And honestly, I've never felt so much beautiful and confident now I've reached the 30 Milestone ! Dont worry girls, aging is cool !

You have to work your way up and evolve. That's why this video was so cute - it showcases the growth of a person.
LMAO this video made me laugh (and kind of feel better about myself) because I did a LOT of those styles when I was growing up (I think we're the same age)
I cleasrly remember the "Spanish" style era LOL
Also in your Hijab story video you said that when you first started to wear it, the main style was to wear it in a rectangle with one piece pinned to the top and I wore exactly the same style when I was in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades lmao
Assalamu'alaikum Dina. I only discovered you this year, so it's great to see the older photos of you, particularly from back when you first started blogging. Lovely of you to share them too.
Thanks for a great video.
OMG DINA I LAUGHED SO HARD LOL thanks for putting this video up it really made me feel a bit better about how bad i look on a day to day bases :''D
thank you SO much for the reassurance!!!! I'm turning 18 this year and literally everyone i know is extremely gorgeous and popular with over 1000 insta followers, just because of their looks and style. it makes me really depressed because i am no where near being so put together!
Actually loved this video!! The way you got Sid to take some of those pics of you 😭😂 you're so hilarious!! Beautiful then and beautiful now, masha'Allah Xx
loved this video! you were sooo cute dina- and i was exactly the same- esp about the scar under your neck and having it tight 😂😂
you and sid will make wonderful parents in shaa Allah, yes its hard but its sooo much fun too 😄
Ahhhh Dina 😂😂😂
You brave soul lol
Your pics brought back memories for me. Im 24 and back in my teen days, i too hardly wore much makeup and my hijab style was cringe. I deleted all my pics from those days because i looked so atrocious 😂
I agree with you, these young girls should enjoy their youth and not rush to look older and overly obsess over their appearance.
Although we looked a bit funny back in our days, atleast we were happy xx
Don't worry ladies! Everyone eventually "glows up" if you know what I'm saying. I'm actually thinking of doing a similar video like Dina's here because I have too many embarrassing photos too :)
BASICLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
I literally can't breathe from laughing right now. Old photos are the actual worst, so embarrassing!!!
This is so awesome haha!! Going through old photos is the best!! 😂
Your so funny Dina! Love all your videos. Please could you do a back to school makeup look? That would really help me. Thankyou and love you nd your channel!😘
Haha loved this video. It remembers me my beggining as a hijabi. When i look back i tell to myself how is that possible lol
Gret video. Bless you
I don't feel so bad by my photos!! They were mid 80's to early 90's. So I had every thing against me! I have all these photo's with strange, 'sucky' cheek poses. Now I know they were my front cover Vogue issues....not! My brows went from sticks (80's) to full bushwhacker in the (90's)! Dina. I think you look cute. Now a beautiful, mother to be. I do love your one in the shiny pink scarf. You look like a little caterpillar emerging. Maybe that is the metaphor for our emerging into women. I just discovered your channel. I love you and Sid, you are both mad as hatters, plus the kitty's. Makes me homesick (U.S), but it is lovely to get English humour again. I just binged watch STELLA, had a terrible Welsh accent for days! :-) xx I am glad that I found your channels.
Oh man Dina, watching your videos make me realize how harsh people are to themselves. I'm just as I'm just as harsh to myself when it comes to beauty and weight. But you really were such a beautiful young girl. 👌👌👌👌
Funny I actually look back on my photos from my teens and early 20s and wished I looked like that now (although I was not particularly confident then or now)!!! :P I get that you are a fashionista and your looks/image are very important to you and your career but it is kind of sad to see you put yourself down so much (even with humour) as a lot of people can only dream of being as gorgeous as you are even in your old photos. I get that it's supposed to be humorous though....and as we all know... it's what's on the inside that matters!!! :)
When I tell people I bought my first make up product at 19 they are always surprised!! And I too thought I was the bees knees :P I used to put bronzer on my cheeks instead of blush because I thought that made me look like a bronze goddess :')
I feel like it would be the best thing if Sid was to do this video and react to his old photos!
You are so right about the ages and how we should take our time to develop/grow up. I thought exactly the same, how Kylie Jenner looks so womanly (but fake obviously) at such a young age. And when I was at that age I knew shit all about make up or looking 'sexy'. Lol. And I think you look absolutely beautiful in all your pictures! I wouldn't call any of them embarrassing 😂
Sooo funny, youre the best Dina! Youve changed allot, it was nice to see that gradual transformation from girly (age appropriate) cute to sophisticated/classy cute.
Kept cracking up, this is so hilarious. More your commentary than the actual pictures. Loved it.
As a child I saw Islam as a repressive religion that was horrible to women as I grew up I realize is not like that but I also realize that that stereotype is based on the people that judge other people that also believe in Islam by their looks.Calling someone a slut just because a little bit of her hair is showing yet the Quaran(sorry if I spell it wrong) says don't judge your brothers and sister for their faith because only God can judge their decisions(I read it a long time ago so don't get mad if it's not 100% accurate). This is the thing media uses to portray Islam like a repressive religion towards women,the comments judging other women that believe in Islam the "true believers of Islam" say,so sad these people are making all Muslim seen like that.
Ps.English is not my first language so I may have some mistakes don't be rude,I'm trying
Never laughed so hard in my life ! Dina you are so hilarious .
I'm just imagining how awkward it must be for girls who wear those hijab styles to watch this...
I laughed so hard :)) You're hilarious Dina! And u made me feel better for not growing too fast! ;)
haha love this video! I don't feel so bad for all my awkward pictures now!
This was so refreshing to watch. You are so right about 17 year olds being very sexy now a days. I'm almost 18 and I feel like I'm 12 when it comes to clothes and makeup...I hope I blossom into it as gracefully as you seem to have done :)
I'm a man and you have reallly inspired me to wear a hijab. Thank you xx
I don't know why you're embarrassed of these pics! You looked cute!
i love you! so straight up ,honest and inspirational ! xxxx
You are my new fave! 😂❤️ Loved this video. So genuine.
hahahahahaha this is so good! I watched you from the very beginning, and when I first started wearing hijab, I copied your style, with the homemade loofah hair volumize (a tutorial of yours in fact), half way through the day the volumiser had slipped off and was dragging my scarf back as well as making it sag, it looked like voldemort was trying to escape!
it looked like voldemort was trying to escape!
Hahaha.. this really made me laugh out loud :P
hahahaha.... voldemort trying to escape.. exemplified it perfectly.. lol
@Nisa N lmao! that had me laughing for a solid few mins lool.. voldermort escaping did it lol
@Lovely Mocochang Don't worry about it.
@Nisa N that's not hijab that she is wearing now it's only fashion you can tell by the difference between her old look and the now ones because hijab should cover all the neck and hair too only the face is showing
These are no where as bad as my old photos! and Dina you were not chubby! you were and are so beautiful! Ma sha Allah! Loved this video....made me laugh ahaha :)
Totally agree with you when you say girls are growing up so fast. When I was 18 I looked nothing like the mass of today's 18 year-year-olds. Also... those bandanas were totally my past as well XD
thumbs up if you think dina should do an advice video for teens and not growing up too fast... or advice videos in general i think she would be great at it!
Lol292 Yeah I think they have issues.. not all inventors are white people and back in history, Muslims invented a LOT of things
Excalibar Eclipse no one is more intelligent for their own race.. reporting you racist
yes!!!
+Excalibar Eclipse I think you need to check urself up, like seriously u have some serious issues.
@Excalibar Eclipse
Everyone is evolving except you. You're racist, go back to 1910 because that's where you belong. We're all equal and no one has the right to tell anyone how to live their lives. You're so ignorant.
Dina, I watched with my little daughters and actually we thought you looked really nice in all of the pics. I hope this was all in fun - in that you realize that you are lovely, with or without makeup, a little chubbier or not. Right now you're very beige/bronze and that's fine but in your earlier pictures you have a rosier complexion (makeup-less?) which was also quite nice. You don't at all look ridiculous in any of them.
"I thought that could go in bloody vogue" LOOOOL you're so funny love yaaa!!!
@Layla Jay thanks!
@AH M 12:10
@khan s HAHAHA which min did she say that??
Nice to see you were so proud and 'bees knees' when you were growing up! you are still young, so it was hardly even a decade ago, so you are growing. I hope you keep on pushing yourself an being as original as you can, try not to put yourself down in your comments, even if you are doing so in humor, be kind to yourself.
Loved the vid Dina, every night I have to watch a vid of urs before bed. Cant believe how different you looked before... and definitely not chubby! Always beautiful, always a unique sense of style
towards the end , its getting more and more funny 😂 thanks for making my day dina HAHAHAH!!
"DONT BLOSSOM TOO FAST"
I couldn't agree more! I looked a hot mess in my teens it's only now in my mid 20s that I'm like "Yasssssss, look at what God did!" :D HAHAHA Xx
You're so funny Deena! Still pretty Ma Shaa Allah in your younger days
I had to pause the video to write this -- yes! I am 22 now, so only couple years younger than you are, and I feel like when I was 12, 10 years ago, I was still playing with my younger brother and his friends (no girls my age in the neighbourhood), riding bikes, running around, and at that time I JUST started to look around for some makeup, I would usually only wear a little bit of mascara, a sheer lipgloss or a lipbalm, and maybe a little concealer because I have quite dark undereye area... I wore tomboyish clothes. I never thought it was strange, but nowadays girls that age, around 12-13 dress, and behave way too mature. I think they might miss out a lot.
Thank you for this. I needed cheering up and you did exactly that! :)
Loved it! So true how are styles change but we loved them at every stage of our lives
i find your Old photos very sweet and lovely. mashallah. please dont ever be ashamed of who you were as that is who you are and how you got where you are today. i love watching you and your husband. may Allah reward you. inshallah
you look good in your teen photos dina. thanks for sharing tha with us
I actually think that you looked really cool and stylish in your old photos just as you do now. I like them gangster ones with the bandanas and the hat. you remind me of me. some of these old looks you could bring back. that intricate makeup was bomb too. these old photos make me love your style even more.
This is way too funny you made my day Dina😂😂
Haha 'wow what the hell is wrong with young people' this was funny and so nice to see someone reassuring young people they don't have to grow up so quick :)
Enjoyed this video! Something really fun about looking through old photos xD The great thing about facebook xD
why is everyone shaming dina? last time i checked, that is not in accordance with islam. :(
Sunna Followers you also shouldnt shame someone publicly, naseeha should be given in private so dont try to justify verbal abuse and bullying with islam
Lala16ss kudos to you for the amazing link.i'm sick and tired of judgmental people presuming to speak for god
Lala16ss Thank you for sharing that link...
@***** twitter.com/yahya_ibrahim/status/780405572847841280
Read this. This is definitely for Muslims like you.
@***** Lol attack. It is funny when I tell you off it is an attack but when you 'advice' people it is not. Hypocrite at the finest. To be honest, no point in talking to people who think so highly of themselves. I am not preventing you from advising people, I am asking you to do it gracefully and in an islamic way but it's hard to tell people that believe they are way better than everyone else. May Allah guide you to be humble and be a better Muslim insyaAllah. Let's see how you like when I tell you off in public. From the previous posts tho, you don't seem to like it lol. Don't bother replying. I am not going to entertain Muslims like you.
HAHAHA! you made my day! totally love you! you are great and should be super confident, you are gorgeous and incredible!!!!
DINA you look so cute aha and your reactions were to funny 😂😂😭, I'm sure your baby will be so beautiful inshallah!
Would love a makeup tutorial on this look, beautiful!
This was so funny! I don`t think you should be embarrassed because at least you went through the "Phase" that we all go through if we`re older. Anyways I really adore your style and wish I could be like you
you are so funny!!!!! you had me cracking up the entire video!! Don't listen to all the hateful comments, you do you boo boo
you are definitely judging yourself too harshly. Most of those pictures were okay you were being creative and expressive I don't think that's wrong. If you really liked the big scarf big head thing back then then it was good. You really liked it and that is important and special. I mean honestly soon matte lipsticks will be out of fashion again and companies are going to go back to frost and relabel them as metallics and that will be the thing. Too faced is already doing that. Trends come back around anyway. Do what you like always. No regrets.
lmaooo I loved this video so much respect for you to upload your old pictures xxx
This inspired me to look back at my old Facebook pictures too and now I want to go back in time and slap myself lmao
Im sick of everyone judging hijabis?who are u to judge lmao hijabis cant breathe without getting judged mind your own business
Allah gave specific instructions on how to dress in Quran u idiot stay sick that’s what hypocrites get from Allah in this life
Tara Almosa a true Muslim can do yt what made u think that if u wanna be a true Muslim u can't do yt
m alam
listen mate if you disagree with what she is doing then go mind your own business in some other place. ppl can do what ever they like. if you wanna be a really true muslim you shouldn't be on youtube any way go do itikaf in a mosque or something
This was so funny! I'd love to see Sid's embarrasing photos.
