Eid al-Fitr often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm).Eid is an Arabic word meaning “festivity”, while Fiṭr means “to break fast”; and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated after the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal.

Mehndi Design

Copy the design from the paper onto the desired area with the laundry pen. This will be a guideline for applying the henna. To avoid drawing freehand, trace the design onto tracing paper with the laundry pen, then apply roll-on deodorant to the skin where the tattoo will be. Lay the tracing paper on the area, marker-side down, and press gently. Wait about two minutes before gently peeling the paper away. This will transfer the design from paper to skin.
