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, …
I think what I like most about henna is how it makes me feel. I think it’s fairly safe to say that human beings love to decorate their bodies. Whether it’s with gems and jewels, make-up, tattoos and piercings, face-painting and airbrushing, scarification, or coloring our hair purple or orange, people on this planet …
I keep coming back to this question. Why do people want to bother with that fake black stuff, which is primarily black hair dye?* Why not just go with the real deal?

OK, the title of this post says everything you need to know. We’re now available at Target. Goodbye, have a great day! Alright, a little background.

I can’t draw to save my life, but if you’ve been following this blog at all, you’ll note that I have not been shy about drawing with henna on myself sometimes. They are not necessarily the most gorgeous designs on the planet, but hey, I had a great time. In one case, I used henna …
I was daydreaming about Christmas in India—where I would love to be in December or anytime, really—which got me thinking about Christmas and henna in India, like might there be any kind of tradition around Christmas and mehndi? Not so much, it turns out, since Hinduism is the major religion practiced there. But there are …
It’s official. We are smack in the middle of fall. And as of last Sunday, Daylight Savings Time went into effect, essentially making us fall backward by 60 minutes, which means waking up in the dark (if, like most people, you have to be at work early in the morning), and heading home in the …
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! Earthbound Trading is a fabulous chain of stores for free-spirited, curious bohemians, who love the idea of the nomadic and natural life. We’re so excited to be …
