Summers with no water activities are meh! That’s where finding and choosing the right swimwear becomes essential. Because it impacts your confidence, comfort, and skin health.

A simple way to keep clutter from coming back is being mindful with your purchasing habits. Ask yourself if something would add value to your life, if not, let it go and don’t purchase it. This will help develop discerning tastes for quality and ultimately transition into a more sustainable lifestyle.

Ensure your swimwear (mainly for kids) provides adequate sun protection by selecting options that have a layer of the rash guard.
Invest in stylish cover-ups, such as kaftans, sarongs, or oversized shirts, to provide extra coverage and protection from the sun when you're not in the water.
Rinse your swimwear thoroughly after each use to remove chlorine or saltwater residue and extend its lifespan.
Avoid wringing out your swimwear, as it can damage the fibers. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water and lay it flat to dry in a shaded area.

Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness meditation is a powerful tool that can help you cultivate greater awareness and presence during Ramadan. By practicing mindfulness, you can learn to be fully present in each moment and appreciate the blessings of this month more fully. This can help you develop greater gratitude and a deeper sense of connection with your mind and body.

Here are some tips for incorporating mindfulness meditation into your Ramadan routine:

1. Start your day with a short meditation. Set aside five to ten minutes each morning to sit in silence and focus on your breath. This will help you start your day with a sense of calm and inner peace.

2. Practice mindful eating. When you break your fast each evening, take a few moments to reflect on your and savor each bite of food. Pay attention to the tastes, textures, and smells of the food, and eat slowly and mindfully.

3. Take a break from technology. During Ramadan, try to limit your use of technology and social media. Instead, spend more time in nature, reading Quran, or engaging in other spiritual practices.
