It’s Ramadhan, the month of fasting. Two weeks have already gone by, Alhamdullilah and there’s not much time left. I wish this month can go on for longer.
So, I found a henna cone from last Eid in the fridge and you know how it is for me when it comes to henna. I grabbed my sister and decided to practice a little. 
It’s not the best I’ve made…
But it was really fun to play with again.
Ramadhan Mubarak! 
Ah I see, I thought it lasted for about a month. I cannot remember where I heard that from, so I wasn’t so sure. That’s an interesting holiday though. Also unsure if calling it a holiday is correct either. Haha, but yes it’s still very intriguing!
The Henna thing sounds really neat. It looks like one of those things for cake icing. Thanks for sharing the info <3
No problem, I’ve actually had a lot of people ask me the same question, it’s a common misunderstanding. It’s not a holiday, it’s just a normal part of our lives.
Oh! So I always wondered, when you fast, do you really not eat anything at all? It’s something that I always wondered, but haven’t learned yet.
I like looking at your henna art! How do you draw that? Do you use pen or something else? Probably an obvious question, but it looks like you used something other than a regular boring pen.
The fast is between sunrise to sunset, apprx. 13-14 hours in India but it can go up to 15-16 hours in other countries. We help sustain the fast by eating a little bit in the morning about half an hour before dawn (it’s called Sahoor) and break open the fast at sunset (Iftar). We don’t eat anything in-between. =)
Henna is a paste that’s packaged in a cone similar to an icing cone but instead of a large nib opening, the tip is cut so that the flow is fine, like that of a pen or marker. Squeezing the cone makes the henna flow.
I shall show you:
