7 ways to kill time while fasting With shorter nights, higher temperatures and longer fasting days the clock just won’t tick fast enough to the finish line no matter how many activities you squeeze into your daily schedule. And then there’s some of us who do tend to spend the afternoons napping and miss out on the actual experience of living the day in the state of fasting. So here’s our two cents on all the different activities that you could jot down into your to-do’s next time you want to distract yourself from looking at the clock hand move in a sloth-like motion.

Exercise: Before you roll your eyes (or after) because you’re thinking, “Oh how unrealistic!”, allow yourself to step back and re-assess the opportunities this month holds for your waistline! Thirty minutes of light yoga, badminton, pilates or aerobics couldn’t possibly hurt and it actually is optimal for you guys to squeeze it in about an hour before Iftaar. The last hour is the hardest to get through but with your brain releasing some of those happy hormones into your system you won’t realise how quickly you’ll hit Iftaar time and that plate of samosas - we meant salad. We highly recommend Route 2's Pilates, Studio X's yoga and Aimfit's DanceFit.

Watch a Show: The trick is to watch something that’s super-interesting for you. Don’t hit play on a re-run. Trust us. It’ll have you zoned out, bored and hungry pretty quickly. Instead choose the kind of shows that’ll have you hooked through the entire season and craving for more. Some of our picks are Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, Suits and Modern Family.

YouTube Surfing: Remember all those make-up, photography and DIY crafts tutorials you’ve been putting away for when you have time.

Well Voila! We hate to break it to you but you’ve got time on your hands now and you’re missing out on learning some pretty great ways of contouring and strobing yourself into a glam doll. You know it as well as we do that those skills can be blessings for a lifetime starting Eid day!

Game Night: ...or day. Just get your siblings, cousins or friends together and dive into a lifealtering game of ludo or carom board. You could also make the most out of owning technology by downloading a game of Heads Up! or Charades and having a battle of the fittest to see who wins as a mime. Even if you lose you’ll have all these hilarious videos of contestants looking ridiculous in a bid to win the game.

Wear the Chef’s Hat: You’re thinking about food the whole day and craving for things you’ve never even tasted. This should be an excellent time to grab your apron and hit the kitchen. Pick out some of those fun easy recipes from pages like Tasty, BuzzFeed Food and Insider Food and try your hand at them. Everything tastes good when you’re hungry so once your dish hits the table, you’ll be a winner as the platter’s swiped clean by the hungry “Rozaydaars” and you’ll get the Chef’s high that every cook feels when their food disappears seconds into serving. Not to mention the brownie points you’ll get with your mother for stepping into the kitchen.

Organic Healing: While your body heals, repairs and detoxifies from the inside, fasting in summer really does leave your skin slightly dehydrated due to reduced water intake during the day. Apply a mask of 1tbsp Yoghurt, 1 tsp of Honey and 2 tbsp of cornmeal mixed into a paste, on your face. This one’s worked for us a whole lot. There are plenty of homemade facial and hair mask recipes just a google away that could be an excellent way to kill time while indulging in some homemade spa experiences.

Reconnect: Scroll through your contacts list and brush off the dust from some of those friends and acquaintances numbers that you haven’t dialled for a while. Call them up or better yet Facetime/Skype. Catching up with people you share some good old memories with is as good a therapy for the mind as it is for the heart.

Above all some of these catch ups can last well into an hour and before you know it Iftaar time will be moments away.

FATIMA KHAN I went for a no-fuss, denim on denim look. For my day look, I wore the shirt over a white tank, and paired it with white accessories. The crossbody bag and casual Almas' flats worked really well together. My favourites were the shaded distressed denim - I can see myself wearing them all summer long! To switch it up, I knotted the denim shirt and threw on a pair of gorgeous suede fringed heels and grabbed a fun Chevron clutch for a casual, summer night look.

NIDA NASEEM For my day look, I breezed through in my white denims without the slighest discomfort. They're an absolute must have! I paired it with a loose checkered button-down, black statement sneakers and my favourite quirky clutch for a fun and chic look. For my night look, I added a pop of colour with the red version of the same shirt, black laceup heels and a stylish box clutch. More dramatic eye makeup and a quick change of lipstick had me ready for a great night out.

HALIMA NOON Keeping my casual style in mind, I opted for a classic white button and ripped jeans. For my day look, I kept my hair loose and wore a pair of metallic slip-ons. For a more formal look, I chose to wear a pair of snakeskin caged heels and a birdcage clutch!

MERLETTE'S Ramadan Fitness Hacks Ramadan has come around again, bringing with it muffin tops!

It may seem difficult to keep the sags away with the daily sight of scrumptious & elaborate iftars but with some effort, you can beat away the extra carbs.

Don't be a FOODIE MONSTER: Ramadan is about practicing discipline in all areas of life, so practice portion control in your meals. Try to have small meals and snacks through the night instead of a stomachful of iftar and suhoor. My dad always reminds me of how the Prophet stated that one's stomach should be "one-third for his food, one-third for his liquids & one-third for his breath". That bloated feeling is never fun!

However, I don't believe that depriving oneself is healthy either. So if you can't resist, indulge in small portions of guilty pleasures (eg. One samosa instead of a plateful or some chocolate with sugar-free green tea) and focus more on healthy options eg. Vegetables and grilled/baked meats.

I also don't believe that healthy food should be bland and boring. So go ahead & add some dressing to your salad to make it yummy.

A portion of green vegetables is a must for me at every meal. I can't enjoy my food without some sliced cucumbers and romaine lettuce. I always make sure at least half my plate consists of greens before I add something from the main dish. And I always break fast with a glass of warm water with lemon! Google its endless list of benefits & you'll be hooked too.)

The last resort: if you've got too much food on your table and you can't resist it, share it with the less fortunate. My ideal suhoor (and go-to breakfast on egular days) is a tomato and spinach-filled omelette with some cheese on a slice of bran bread, instead of oily parathas, because fiber

takes longer to digest, therefore your stomach feels satisfied & full for longer. It curbs cravings and slowly releases energy into your system, keeping you from crashing during the day.

WERK: I know we're at our laziest during Ramadan but a little exercise goes a long way! I recommend a quick cardio before iftar. (Youtube: the 7-minute scientific workout) Or a 20-minute HIIT workout followed by a balanced suhoor consisting of protein, fiber, and some healthy carbs and fats.

During the day, a slow form of activity is great too. I'm addicted to Yoga videos by Tara Stiles on youtube. Along with my prayer mat, I have a designated space for my yoga mat where it's always spread out, beckoning me to stretch out daily.

HYDRATE: Take some time away from food to make sure you fill up on your daily water requirement. I keep 1 Liter bottles of water filled in my room after iftar & try to finish at least two before suhoor. If you're out in the blazing heat, I suggest carrying a small spray bottle of (rose) water to keep your skin hydrated too.

May you fit into your eid dresses without a buldge! Ameen.
