It is no secret that over the years social media has opened up a plethora of doors for fashion and beauty lovers around the world to showcase their talent.
Creative platforms like Instagram and YouTube have allowed women of all types of cultures, backgrounds and religions to showcase their talent. One demographic in particular have flourished in the face of western ideals, the Muslim blogger.
