It's the season to celebrate!

Oh my! Where has Ramadan gone? Seems like yesterday, we were enjoying the first Sehri of the month and we’re already at the last ten days! So, dear readers, how has the holy month been for you so far? We hope the heat hasn’t dampened your spirits! And here’s to hoping that you’re able to fulfil all the personal goals you set for yourself and then some, after all ‘tis the season of reflection and spiritual guidance! But it is also the season of gratitude, giving and celebration - are you aware of the magic equation that opens a delicious and rewarding portal to gifts and food, clothes, gifts and food and repeat?! Well, here it goes… Ramadan/Ramzan + fasting = Eid!

Have you started your preparations yet? Clothes stitched? Gifts bought? Eid décor planned? What? Not yet?! Fret not! polly & other stories to the rescue!
