Ramadan Vlog 2020


Happy Friday! I've been wanting to post this Ramadan prep vlog since the beginning but I got so busy during Ramadan and finally finished editing it today! I'm still shocked that there are less than 10 days left! It passed by so fast! 

If you're still looking to donate, I would recommend checking out Penny Appeal! They donate 100% of your zakat to those in need.
