What are the differences between The Duke and I book and the Netflix show (Episode 1)

 I recently finished reading the book The Duke and I, and am currently rewatching the Bridgerton Netflix series. I will go episode by episode to list out the differences between the book and the show. 

The Duke of Hastings is a 6 feet tall white male with blue eyes in the book but the show has cast a Black man. 

Daphne Bridgerton is in her third season in the book and is almost on the shelf. Whereas she is a debutante on the show. She is termed the 'Diamond of the first water' by Lady Whisteldown and complimented as 'flawless' by the Queen. 

They meet at Lady Danbury's ball when Nigel is practically begging Daphne to marry him, where she knocks a punch at him. Simon doesn't know that she is a Bridgerton just yet and has a flirtatious moment with her. 

Anothy invites Simon for dinner with family. In the show, the visit is arranged by Lady Bridgerton and Lady Danbury as a matchmaking effort between Simon and Daphne. 

The book doesn't showcase Anthony Bridgerton's affair with the Opera singer, Sienna. 

In the book, Lady Whistledown's observations about the Bridgerton siblings i.e, their identical bone structure, chestnut brown hair and the alphabetical naming annoys Violet Bridgerton, whereas in the show she talks about the Bridgerton siblings with much praise writing, '...a bounty of perfectly handsome sons and perfectly beautiful daughters'. That is, Lady Bridgerton doesn't really mind what Lady Whistledown has written about the nomiculture of her children since Daphne is called 'diamond of the first water' in the same sheet. 

The book also shows that Colin has just returned from his travels around the world. 

There is no Miss Marina Thompson in the book. 

Eliose and Penelope are not close friends according to the first book.

Neither does it show the friendship between Colin and Penelope.

Meet Lion Pose, the New Inclusive Skincare Brand Backed by Mindy Kailing

Courtesy @lionpose Instagram "Not all skincare products are tested on all skin tones," says Mindly Kailing who invested in Lion Pose after seeing benefits for her own skin. "Not only is this [brand] really good skincare, but Madhu and Nisha [founders] are really focused on inclusivity, especially in clinical testing which is super important if you are a woman of color". After facing skin problems of their own for many years the founders discovered that most skincare companies do not conduct formal clinical testing. And, the few who do are not required to test on all skin tones and types. Lion Pose aims to bridge this gap by testing their products on a wider and more diverse group of men and women. When tested on an independent panel of 30 participants aged 25-45, with Fitzpatrick skin tone 2-6, the label's newly launched Unspotted 4x delivered positive results,with 94% noticing a reduction in their dark spot size. The skincare brand created this miracle formulat

Introduction

 Hello everyone,  My name is Janvi Thanki, a 27-year-old writer. I enjoy fashion, beauty and generally living a "beautiful" lifestyle. In terms of education, I have pursued a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering and pivoted to journalism and writing once the course got over.  I started with an internship at Harper's Bazaar Arabia in late 2018 and struggled through 5 years of internships, small gigs, project work, and a few horrible bosses to finally land a dream freelance gig at Bloomingdale's Middle East as an SEO Writer. Earlier this year, I also worked with Cosmopolitan Middle East as a Digital Writer.  Over the years, I started blogs and websites, wrote a few articles and then never continued. The victim in me wants you to believe that "life happened" and I couldn't continue but in the future I, the Janvi that has a successful website and has written for American Vogue want you to know that it was me that gave up. She also knows that the idea of pe
