No more soggy necklines! Mums create ‘world-first' bib that sold out twice in two weeks
Speak to any weaning parent about feeding their new little eater and they'll say the same thing. Soggy stained collars, double bibbing to avoid the washing machine, messy floors and non-stop outfit changes. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't happen every few hours. But this can soon be a thing of the past thanks to the creation of two Aussie sisters and mums. Introducing Abibi: a world-first bib designed to actually protect clothes, catch food, and make life easier for parents — no mess required. The bibs are already so popular that they have sold out twice since launching in June this year. So how does Abibi work and why are the bibs so different to all the other smock-style, catchy bibs on the market? Put simply: every single feature of the $39.95 bibs has a reason. Whether it's the protective inner collar flap to stop food from sneaking down their chubby little necks or the high food catcher that stays open and actually catches their toast crumbs, the bibs are unlike any other products on the market. There is even a split hem at the front which will fit over your child's legs, as well as three adjustable-sized clip buttons that grow with your baby and stop them from pulling off their bib. My favourite feature of all is the internal collar flap, which tucks nearly into your baby's clothing to block drips and sneaky bits of food from sliding down the neckline. I don't know about others, but my 11-month-old loves juicy fruits like watermelon and tomato, and I'd need 80 hands if I wanted to count the number of tops that have been ruined by the juice sliding down her neck. Abibi solves all of this and more. Since launching in June of this year, Abibi have sold out of their game-changing bibs twice already — and there are hundreds of parents who say they'd never use anything else again. 'This has honestly been the best bib that we have ever used,' one happy customer wrote. ' Where has this bib been my whole life? Literally, game changing!' another added. ' Abibi has thought of everything! Long leg coverage... amazing, high catchy... so good, tucked in neck... genius!!!!! 10/10 your babe needs an Abibi!' A third said: ' Love it! Worth the money to not have to change yet another outfit'. Meanwhile, the co-founders can hardly keep up with the demand, and are packing orders from their garage in between nap times, real work, and mothering their own kids. 'Our goal is to make Abibi a household name in the baby and parent space, with smart, thoughtfully designed products that actually make life easier,' the mums told Best Picks. 'We're not here to just make baby stuff look cute. We're here to cut the mess, save your sanity, and give parents one less thing to stress about.' Right now, you can buy several different styles of full-sleeve bibs for $39.95 each, or bundle together three for $99.95 or five for $159.95. To find out more about Abibi — named after the sisters' Lebanese heritage and the word 'Habibi' which means 'little darling' — you can head to the website here.

Shelled pistachios sold in Ontario recalled due to salmonella contamination
Shelled pistachios sold in Ontario restaurants and hotels have been recalled due to salmonella contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said Friday that they are pulling Habibi branded Pistachio Kernels from establishments across Ontario and Quebec. The government agency labelled it a 'Class 2' recall meaning there's a 'moderate risk that consuming the food may lead to short-term or non-life threatening health problems.' Salmonella spreads through food and sickness comes in many forms, according to the CFIA. You might not get sick but symptoms generally start six to 72 hours after being exposed. Most people get chills, a fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps or a sudden headache. Usually the symptoms will end in four to seven days though some get hit with more serious sickness that requires hospital care or could even lead to death, the government agency warns. The recalled Habibi pistachios come in 10-kilogram packages and have a universal product of code '70847446000626,' and a lot number of '361.24IR41 B.B. JAN 2027.'

Abdu Rozik Detained at DXB Following Theft Allegations
Popular social media personality and singer Abdu Rozik was reportedly arrested at Dubai International Airport early Saturday morning. The 21-year-old influencer, known for his viral charm and TV stints, was taken into custody at around 5am shortly after arriving from Montenegro. While authorities have not released an official statement, a representative from Rozik's management said, 'All we can say is that we are aware he has been taken into custody on allegations of theft.' Further details about the complaint or the nature of the alleged incident remain under wraps. Rozik, who stands at just over three feet tall due to a growth hormone deficiency, has become one of the most recognizable celebrities in the region. Holding a UAE Golden Visa, he has lived in Dubai for several years and is widely known for his appearances on Bigg Boss 16, his music career, and a variety of viral social media content. In 2024, Rozik made headlines with his boxing debut at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena, and later launched his restaurant chain Habibi in the UK. That same year, he was also questioned by India's Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering probe involving a hospitality firm. However, officials confirmed he was not listed as an accused in that investigation.

Afghan Taliban deny role in U.S. citizen disappearance
Afghanistan's Taliban authorities on Thursday (July 3, 2025) denied involvement in the disappearance of a U.S. citizen in Kabul, after Washington announced a $5 million reward for information on his whereabouts. Mahmood Shah Habibi, an Afghan-American businessman who worked for a telecommunications firm, was abducted along with his driver in the Afghan capital in 2022, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI notice from 2024 said it was "believed that Mr. Habibi was taken by Taliban military or security forces". The U.S. State Department last month said it was "offering a reward of up to $5 million for certain information leading to the location, recovery, and safe return" of Mr. Habibi, directly accusing the Taliban authorities' intelligence unit for his disappearance. The Taliban authorities on Thursday (July 3, 2025) said they were investigating "a petition" made by Mr. Habibi's family, describing him as an "Afghan citizen" only. "No evidence has been uncovered indicating that he has been detained by any entity affiliated with the Islamic Emirate," government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement, using the Taliban authorities' name for their administration. "As a legitimate governing authority, the Islamic Emirate has no reason to detain or conceal any individual merely suspected of criminal activity." Mujahid "categorically" rejected the involvement of the General Directorate of Intelligence. The Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in 2021, months after the US and NATO withdrew most of their forces from the country following a two-decade war against the then insurgent group. Their government has not been recognised by any country. A Taliban government spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for details on the number of U.S. citizens detained in Afghanistan. Multiple U.S. citizens have been released from Taliban custody this year, however. In March, American woman Faye Hall was released after two months in prison after she was arrested for reportedly having an unauthorised drone. The British couple she was arrested with are still in detention. In January, the Taliban government released two Americans, Ryan Corbett and William McKenty, for an Afghan detained in the United States in an exchange mediated by Qatar.
