So I know I haven't been posting this month, it's because summer is here and that means vacations and that means no internet DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN.

Yes people I'm going to live without internet for probably two weeks but don't worry after I come back I'll post loads of posts and updates for you guys because I won't be a lazy ass and I'll try to think of ideas for you guys because I love pizza.

Anyways in my week-ish visit to my aunt's house, we (me and my cousins) went to the beach, it was a small one, definitely not the best and it had rocks but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

So you may have noticed I've recently wore the hijab (no there's no hijab story since it's kind of boring) and I was swimming with a burkini (look it up) and some un-religious man with tattoos told me to take off my hijab because we're at the 'beach' and I was seriously thank god I didn't say anything and just said a simple "no".

Anyways tell me guys if you went to the beach recently and if you live beside it I'm already packing and coming to you. Byeeee

So you may know from my last post ITS RAMADAN! (you: calm down woman) and lemme tell you it's pretty difficult to fast for over 17 hours daily, but after all ramadan is a blessed month when good deeds are necessary and as we Algerians call it the month of mercy.

If you are not a muslim and don't know what ramadan is you can check this if you want since I'm a horrible explainer.

Anyways since it's ramadan and all it'll be appropriate to do a tag, I think I've never done a tag before, but hey! there's a first time for everything.

The tag is called: I heart ramdan

Question 1: When do you start getting excited for ramadan?
I geniunely get excited for ramdan months before it starts and I annoy my family with "when is ramdan going to start?" and my history search gets full of "when is ramdan 2016?"

Question 2: What is your favorite ramdan memory?
One time I was fasting ramadan at my grandmother's (may allah be merciful to her) and after iftaar I go out with my cousins and the neighbors there to play hide and seek in the dark, it was truly amazing.

Question 3: Does your family have any ramdan tradition?
Well we are used to eat my mother's hrira which is the best one I've ever eaten even though I dislike hrira and after iftaar the whole family goes to pray ishaa and taraweeh in the masjid, we are totally #familygoals

Question 4: What is your favorite ramadan food?
Obviously bourak aside with les chaussons and don't forget about ghribiya that's like heaven in your mouth.

Question 5:When you're fasting in the day, do you think about food?
I'm not going to lie I think about food but I try not to think about it but it gets difficult in the last hour or two since the food aroma starts filling the house (and it's doing it as I'm writing this)

Question 6:Besides water and dates what do you break your fast with?
Hmm maybe bourak and hrira or a salad it depends on what's on the table.

Question7: What do you eat for suhoor?
I used to not wake up for suhoor but these days I just eat some cereal

Question 8: What is your least favorite thing about ramadan?
I hate that when you have young siblings or cousins around they usually eat and drink infront of you no matter how many times you tell them not to

Question 9: One thing that makes you the happiest in ramadan.
I'd probably say when the whole family sits around the table to eat which is something that doesn't happen on a normal day at least for my family.

Question 10: One tip that you can give to people that are fasting.
Since we have a lot of free time in ramadan you should fill it with ibadah instead of playing video games or watching Tv and trust me you will forget all about your hunger.

And that's it! the ramdan tag is complete!

And yes I know that I was a little too late to do this but hey! it's still ramadan so it's okay.

Now it's your turn to tell me how do you spend your ramadan days? do you sleep allday? browse the internet all day? tell me in the comments below. Bye!

                                                                                                                   Dee

So if you're muslim or your friend is, you'd know that ramadan is so close and it's time for the real hunger games to begin *tries evil laughter but coughs instantly*

If you have no idea what ramadan is, it's basically a month when we muslim fast as to not eat or drink anything until the sun sets, I know it sounds hard but it really isn't you become familiar with it.

Anyways, I'm already fasting since I forgot I had 3 days to fast from last ramadan (talk about procrastination) and it really isn't hard, I just feel hungry from time to time bleh.

If you are muslim and ramadan or in other words fasting becomes a hard mission to accomplish, you can use these tips that I collected from online websites and my experience.

• Do not watch cooking shows in ramadan: many rumors have been around that if you watch cooking shows you won't feel hungry as we Algerians describe it as eating with your eyes, this method definitly didn't work for me as I became more hungry but if it worked for you hey! use it.

• Fill your free time with ibadah: doing nothing will only remind you of how hungry you are, so reading the quran or dikr will keep you busy plus you'll gain more good deeds than lazily scrolling on tumblr.
