We love our sweets here at Cityline... but we can't say no to these chickpea cookies! Packed with flavour and protein, we tried them and absolutely loved them. This is a great, healthier alternative to traditional cookies. Plus, kids adore them (Psst — try eating the dough raw!) and they’re super easy to make.
Thanks to Stephanie Manzinali's help in the kitchen, you'll just need a few simple ingredients to get started and have them ready in just under 30 minutes!

Your February Roundup of TikTok Trends
In one way or another, we're all users of TikTok (even if you don't have an account). Whether it's a kitchen hack or beauty item that's flying off the shelves, trending videos from TikTok are finding their way into our daily lives.
The app is available in over 150 countries and has over 1 billion users. Almost two years ago, TikTok surpassed both Google and Facebook as the world's most popular web domain. But don't worry — we won't let you miss out on the good stuff!
Some of the hottest tricks and products are coming from users and influencers on this app and we rounded up the top items from February so you don't have to.
Beauty and Fashion
L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Lift Mascara Price: $15.96 now (was $18.99) This is L'Oréals' new version of their iconic telescopic mascara, which took TikTok by storm with a little bit of drama. One of TikTok's most popular beauty influencers, Mikayla Nogueira, made a sponsored before-and-after video of her using the the product but users weren't convinced that they were her natural lashes at the end. The creator hasn't addressed the accusations — but it made people want to go out and test the product for themselves! SolaWave Advanced Skincare Wand Price: $226.00 This 4-in-1 facial wand will take your skin care routine to the next level. It's also being praised on skincare TikTok. Red light therapy utilizes visible red LED lights to deeply rejuvenate the skin and fade discolouration. There are several at-home skin care devices available similar to this with costs ranging anywhere from $200 to $500, making the SolaWave a bit more affordable and effective than most. e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide Price: $13.00 This primer had a grip on the whole beauty community, and your local drugstore is probably still sold out of it! This product is primer and skin care in one. The niacinamide helps to even out skin tone and brightens the look of dullness. It's ideal for all skin tones and goes on completely clear, creating a dewy and glowing finish. Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey Price: $47.95 now (was $60.00) It's not lipstick, it's not a balm and it's not a gloss either! The Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is hard to come by in stores for a reason! It's a perfectly calibrated blend of blue, red and yellow pigments with a creamy base that melts into your lips. The best part? It works for every skin tone. If you see it in a store, grab it before it's gone! Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine in Rum Raisin 008 Price: $12.49 This is another lipstick that's selling out so fast, you might miss it! This buttery lipstick won't feather or bleed, and it's filled with a paraben-free containing hyaluronic acid, aloe and rose quartz. It's creamy and smooth just like the Clinique Almost Lipstick (some say it's an affordable dupe). It's also been tried and tested on TikTok! Revlon 3 Heat 2 Speed One Step Ionic Hair Dryer Price: from $50.20 This powerful dryer and volumizer isn't new but TikTok made it go viral again. We all know the hype around the Dyson AirWrap Multi-styler but we also know the cost. You can get frizz-free blowouts and less heat-related damage with this affordable tool too! The tangle-free combination bristles also allow you to detangle, improve volume and control the tool. Revlon also has different versions with various attachments so you can achieve many looks at a lower cost. PUMIEY Shapewear and Dresses Price: from $54.98 Have you been wanting to try SKIMS but not liking the cost? Or maybe you want to dip your toes into shapewear and loungewear but don't know where to start. Thanks to TikTok and their dupes, we have one from Amazon for you! PUMIEY offers various types of bodysuits and dresses and neutral colours that have positive reviews. You do NOT want to miss out on this one.Home
The Pink Stuff - The Miracle All Purpose Cleaning Paste Price: $19.79 now (was $25.47) If you haven't heard of this miracle paste yet that's been all over TikTok, you will. This is a tough cleaner that is gentle on surfaces but tough on stains. You can use it on saucepans, cooker tops, sinks, uPVC, barbecues, ceramic tiles, glass, showers, garden furniture and more! The possibilities are endless and you won't be disappointed. All-in-1 Vegetable Chopper Price: $54.99 now (was $69.99) With 5 interchangeable blades, you can do all your slicing, grating and chopping at once. We're all about ease when it comes to popular TikTok kitchen items. Get rid of those other tools because you can do it with just one! It has various adjustments so you can get your desired sized slice at all times. It's also dishwasher safe and safe for the family because it has a fingerguard and comes with a protective glove. LE TAUCI Dog Bowl Slow Feeder Ceramic Price: $25.99 now (was $43.02) When you want to treat your pets to an upgrade, look no further than this slow feeder! We've learned a lot from pet TikTok and that play doesn't have to stop when it comes to your dogs food. LE TAUCI offers these fun bowls in many colours and patterns so your dog get the enrichment it needs. It's also made of ceramic so you can clean it with ease.
