Me Saying Something To Someone I’ve Wanted To Say Something To For A Very Long Time - Canon 50D.
I forget if I reblogged this already or not, but If I didn’t, I wanted to say this is my best friend danger and this is one of the most powerful shoots he’s ever done.
It’s so strong.
And I’m really proud of you <3I forgot about this. ^Aw, Casey making me feel all accomplished and what not. ^_^
this retailer sells a halal nail polish. this allows for oxygen and water to go through the nail, which makes it acceptable to wear during prayer. spread the word.
“Being a relatively modern creation, nail polish remains obviously unaddressed by early Islamic sources. But the general consensus in the Islamic community is that praying with nail polish is impermissible because of the waterproof barrier it creates on nails, which prevents the wudu ritual from being completed five times a day
Marketing genius, so impressed with whoever thought of this. Brilliant
