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? Your skin stained the deep, rich, reddish brown color that screams organic, ceremonial and mysterious. Besides, as we all know, a safe, natural …
I remember a time when, if you were unhappy with something you bought at a store, you would return the product or call and ask to speak to the manager. What happens nowadays? One-star review on Amazon, Yelp, etc. This product is crap! The applicator tip was missing and the box …
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 …
We’ve had flowers on our minds lately, here at Earth Henna, namely, desert flower vs. tropical flower. It occurred to us that henna tattoos and jagua tattoos are polar opposites when it comes to background and culture. The henna plant grows in desert regions throughout India, Africa, and the Middle East. Desert heat is dry, dry, dry …
Believe it or not, we at Earth Henna may not be as big as Amazon.com; but like that retail behemoth—which seeks to be “…the Earth’s most customer-centric company”—we think about our customers. A lot. We pride ourselves on having the best products on Earth, and in providing the best customer experience ever. Unless you’re being unduly mean …
Photo by Yumna Al-Arashi, as published in Huffington Post. Last week’s Huffpost Culture featured a wonderful article about photographer Yumna Al-Arashi’s quest to document the origins of her grandmother’s time-honored tradition of facial tattoos. It turns out there are several motives behind the lines, dots, and symbols that adorn the faces of the women whose …
Drumroll, please. Introducing our beautifully repackaged Henna Kit for Kids! In the last three years, we went on a repackaging adventure. It had suddenly dawned on us that, after fifteen years, our kits needed a face lift (yes, we’re a little slow sometimes). First up was our best-seller, the original Premium Earth Henna Body Painting …
Where can I find your henna kits? Just yesterday a woman I met asked me this question, and I found myself explaining how lucky we are that henna tattoos organically fall into so many different markets—fashion accessory; all-natural product; arts and crafts; art supplies; beauty and cosmetics; tattoos; and new age. New age? She said. …
