Henna in Hawaii

When we were in Kauai this summer, we met up with a fellow henna artist and she took us to some beautiful waterfalls, I'm so happy we worked through our weird scheduling issues and meeting random strangers off the internet with my kids, but I guess that's how the world works these days.  Anyway, we had the most amazing adventure and found natural treasures while adorning each other and the kiddos in the waterfalls.

can you see the faint color change where the jagua will be black?

Thanks again to Kauai Henna for taking us exploring and showing us the secret spots in Kauai to find magic. Until we're there next time, know that I believe henna is pure magic and the connections and memories it creates last for a lifetime.
