I am so excited for my friend Michelle to come over this afternoon! She has a cute pregnant belly that we are going to henna! It's so exciting. For those of you who don't know, henna is actually a symbol for good luck. Although it is not specifically attached to any one religion, it's mostly used in African and Indian cultures. It's not so much because of their religious beliefs, but because that is where it grows and is readily available. It is an all natural product. Henna is made from leaves that are dried and ground into a very fine powder. Then it is made into a paste and applied to the skin. Normally it will last anywhere from three days to three weeks. It really depends on where you apply it on your body, and how well you take care of your design.
Lots of times it is used for pre-wedding parties, bridal showers or baby showers because of the luck it is said to bring. I personally could use some good luck ANYTIME and encourage you to have a henna party soon! It is tons of fun, and something different for you and your friends to enjoy together.
