It’s not just about choosing the right color, that fits best to your clothes. It’s about “a perfect shape, a symmetrical arch to frame my face. That means no creases, no flops, no thread pulls.” (as it’s written in the very inspiring book: “Does my head look big in this?” by Randa Abdel-Fattah.
10 minutes yoga
In college I used to look for calm places and corners, where I caould make my daily prayers. Muslims do pray 5 times a day and the time of prayer depends on the position of the sun. Since the sun sets earlier in winter, the interval between the prayers is very short. My fellow students […]
