I love love henna and henna designs. The flower designs are
my personal favorite, but in reality they are all beautiful. Henna is a great expression
of creativity and beautiful combinations of patters; it is truly an art form.
It’s both crazy and amazing how just a simple combination of different lines
and dots can make something that spectacular and intricate. I mean, if you love
drawing and flowers you will most likely like henna. If not love. Plus they’re
temporary so you don’t have to worry about making any big life decisions.
I have had henna done a bunch of times before but had never
done it myself or on another person until last weekend! My friend got the Namaste
Treasures Henna Kit from the Namaste Collective in Australia (they can be found
at @namaste_collective and namastecollective.com) so we had a chance to experiment
with different designs. This particular henna also happened to be all natural
and vegan, double bonus!
The application of the henna turned out to be pretty easy,
all you need is a steady hand and a design to follow. However, choosing just
one or two designs is the hard part! Just scrolling through the Namaste Collective’s
Instagram makes you basically want to try all of the designs! Once we had
finally chosen our designs and applied the henna I think I spent the next hour
just staring at the flower on my arm in awe and thinking how cool it would be
to have henna everyday. Yep, that’s how my mind works. It is sad to say that
the henna flower is starting to wear away from me washing my hands, but I’m
excited to try a new design next time!
Do you have a favorite henna design? Let me know!
