    Hi @mamman-naf! Great work on completing this challenge, and your design is spot on!

    As far as sizing units go, it really depends on the situation. For font size I would recommend using rem units. Rem units are a relative length unit which just means that they are relative to something else, in this case rem units are relative to the font size of the root element. This means that 1rem is equal to the font size of the html element, which for most browsers the default is 16px. Whereas px units are an absolute length unit, meaning that their size will not change. The nice part about using rem units is that when users change the default font size in their browser the text will scale accordingly.

    Also I noticed that you were using percentages for your margins, and I would recommend using rem units instead for margin and padding.

    All the different units can make things a little confusing but the more you work with these different units the easier it will become. Also flexbox is a great and essential tool to learn, I wont get into here because it's a lot to explain but I'll link some helpful resources down below.
