It was my first time meeting the family of farmers who harvest the henna found in our Earth Henna tattoo kits. You have likely not experienced “desert dry” until you’ve been to the outer reaches of the Sahara, aka The Great Desert. A hot wind was blowing like crazy, making it nearly impossible to see, …
When I first heard about the jagua fruit, as used by the indigenous people of the Amazon jungle, I immediately assumed it would be associated with magical and mystical beliefs. Why?

My henna mandala Well, here we are, holed up in our homes, quarantined. What to do, What to do? What I seem to be doing is working like crazy on all the projects that were in the works before the crisis hit. Because, it won’t last forever, right? And when it’s over and we get …

And plenty of people are sad that Beto lost; but I bet they’re smiling at the thought of him running for president in a couple of years! Sometimes you …
Trying hard not to brag, but Earth Henna is going places! By that, I mean places like Target, American Eagle Outfitters, Hot Topic, Earthbound Trading, Von Maur and Sprouts!
