The Elegance of Mehndi Designs



Have you ever wanted a tattoo? It's a seemingly simple step but maybe in your heart of hearts, you know that while it's fashionable it is also socially still quite edgy. While becoming ever more trendy around the world, there are still many parents and certainly grandparents who would not approve of a permanent mark. Maybe this is good, surely it's true that a permanent mark, no matter how stylish, cannot remain always as trend-setting as it was when first inked.

 Fortunately, there is the henna option for those of us who value the femininity of a beautiful design but aren't ready to risk the ire of our older relatives with such a long-term commitment. Henna will last from a week to a month, depending on the oil content of your skin, and if you're as creative as you are fashionable there is the option of Mehndi designs. These intricately beautiful patterns arrive like a breath of Eastern promise refreshing your look and reflecting your inner creativity.




Usually, simple mehndi designs are floral in nature and there is a multitude of styles to choose from. However, you can unleash your inner artist by innovating your own styles with no fear of unsightly or even painful laser surgery to remove them when they become faded.  Indeed, anyone can ink simple mehndi designs themselves, and of course, it's immense fun to let your girlfriends loose on your skin without the possible long-term stigma, or simply becoming bored with the same motif.

 Before 700 AD the dye of the henna plant was used as body paint in Egypt, and from there it expanded to India where the practice grew and developed, moving further, into Africa as well as Bangladesh, Nepal and around the Middle East. Even going back as far as 1680 BCE, wall paintings depict mehndi designs adorning women's bodies in Minoan Greece.



As the origin of the form, Arabic mehndi designs are at once some of the more classic while also being some of the easier to design for the adventurous among you. See these breathtaking designs for Arabic mehndi designs:

 Thanks in no small part to Bollywood, and of course the web, simple mehndi designs are reinvigorating the henna scene in the west. This trend will only expand as the style trends on the catwalk.

Why limit yourself?

Do your Research Before Buying a PM 2.5 Pollution Mask

With development comes pollution, and though we love the benefits of a driven and vibrant economy no one likes the side effects a major example of which is air pollution. PM 2.5 refers to particulate matter, tiny little pieces of material, below 2.5 microns across which is danger size for your lungs.   Particulate matter above 2.5 microns in diameter is still dangerous, but less so according to scientists.  These particles are so small that thousands of them will hide in this full stop. Particles this small will travel deep into your lungs because the body has no defence against particles this tiny.  One of your best options is the stay indoors, although even indoor levels may be high if the levels outside are high.  If you smoke cigarettes or use candles or cook with oil, then these activities will contribute to this PM 2.5 pollution.  The particulate matter is about 30 times thinner than a human hair and mostly originates from car exhaust in a city...

Tom Hardy's Career So Far

Having already appeared in Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down 2001, he came to prominence in Star Trek Nemesis 2002, which was the end of the Next Generation period of the show.   He played a clone of Picard and is young enough to be almost unrecognisable in that role.  Youthful of countenance but already showing that he could punch his weight with the big boys.  BUY TOM HARDY MOVIES He continued to work through the early 2000's with stand-out performances in Bronson 2008 (utterly compelling, must see) and Layer Cake 2004.  While not yet taking Hollywood by the vitals, he was building his portfolio of work with A-List stars and directors. It was Inception 2011 that made his breakout role.  It garnered 8 Academy Awards and is one of the top 25 highest grossing movies of all time.  This film pushed him clearly into the A-List and has made him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood today.   L...

Where did it all go wrong?

The Good What happened to 2-time Academy Award winner Denzel?  I reserve the right to use his first name, of course, having been his Biggest Fan for many years with the certification to prove it.  He, acting god, Sexiest Man Alive 1996, one of the few A-listers who seemed to have integrity for the role he chose.  He of Malcolm X, and Glory. He of Man on Fire which is surely the most satisfying revenge story of recent Hollywood yore.  Even The Equalizer was interesting enough to stay on point in terms of Mr.Washington's career.  So how soon did it all go wrong after that?  The exact time may be debted, but the fact of it remains, Denzel Washington has been in a downturn move-quality rise for nearly a decade. The Bad My first case for the prosecution has to be the god-awfully embarrassing mess-of-scriptless-tropes-jumbled-in a-meaningless-mess that is the ill-judged remake The Magnificent Seven 2016. With a story so simple, infinite monkeys would o...
