This Henna Crown was beautifully worth it! Since I started henna I prayed to be blessed with the opportunity to adorn someone’s crown. Her response, “I haven’t felt this beautiful in 20 years.” -alopecia survivor Thank you for choosing me to be your artist. Had so much fun doing this!

I’m so grateful that over the past 7 years I’ve been able to meet some of the most incredible Queens (and Kings) I’ve ever came across my life. Sharing such intimate moments with my clients. Sharing stories, At weddings, events but one I love the most is being able to create in the comfort of their homes. Celebrating birthdays, pre-vacations, major events and having these life experiences in general while adorning people with my art has been the best part of this journey, while I travel around the world doing what I love. Thank you everyone who has been apart of this journey thus far. It still feels like I’m just getting started😉 ⁣ 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘥. ⁣ ⁣ “𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲” -𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐲 ⁣ ⁣ #Bookme ⁣ #thatdopehennalady #henna #jagua #blackink #JaguaTattoo #mehendi #7enna #chestpiece #henna tattoo #travelinghennaartist #brooklyn #stjohnusvi #virginialands #supportyourlocalartist #supportblackbusiness #lovewhatyoudo #dopeart #therapy #dope #beauty #Sexy #freestyle #SexyTattoo #vacayhenna @freshjagua⁣ (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAis4Hlcxe/?igshid=1ury8h1woamg7

“Within a near-death experience, life changes, love grows and the universe moves into another world.” -Petra Hermans Time is truly the most valuable currency we have. Money is replaceable; time is not. I was taken abreast when I was in a situation where my life could have been taken, just like that🤌🏽 and no one would have known. As I felt my throat closing, all I can think of was “lord, this can’t be my time, for I haven’t affected as many lives as I possibly can like you promised!” I knew I had a good 10 minutes before I went into anaphylactic shock. I was saved in 7! Grateful is an understatement. Blessed? Absolutely! But most importantly alive, with more time to affect lives on a major scale. I just want to “aspire to inspire before I expire” and that means more of me telling my story/testimony🙏🏽. Also here are a list of my non negotiable allergies that I have no answers for, so do not question them. Alcohol (Asian flush gene)- get me a Shirley temple 💁🏽‍♀️ My tears (why I do my best to be happy all the time.)-make me laugh 💁🏽‍♀️ POPCORN! HIGHLY ALLERGIC‼️: The smell of it will close my throat. If you love me, just don’t make it. My life isn’t worth a snack🤷🏽‍♀️ (And no, not corn. Just popcorn.) (Bleu hair photo dump) because this was one of my favorite hair colors, pics and styles after growing it back after 2 years ✨. Make today great, because we truly don’t know how many days are promised after this one. 🙏🏽 #rockyroadadventures (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAUQI7F9mI/?igshid=1f72bobbhdjj1

As me and my buddy Rob went to volunteer at the one and only Ms. jospehine’s beautiful garden, I learned a bit about taking care of beautiful, living organisms with the purpose of growth. The beautiful barter exchange for some delicious greens was a plus 💛. ⁣ ⁣ Things I’ve learned: ⁣ -continue to plant seeds daily. ⁣ -nothing beautiful happens over night. ⁣- All things grow through time, love and patience. ⁣ ⁣ Things I learned about weeding:⁣ - if you don’t tackle it at the root, it will continue to grow and blend with the things that are meant to flourish. It can literally block growth. ⁣ - you have to go through weeds to find your beautiful flowers. It’s a process. Not an easy one either. ⁣ - although it may be tedious, it is necessary for growth. ⁣ -there are alot of weeds posing as flowers. ⁣ ⁣ Trust the process. Stay focused. And most importantly. Breathe! One step at a time every day. Flourishing is a beautiful journey. ⁣ ⁣ #RockyRoadAdventures #greatdayforagreatday #gardening #homesweetisland #motivation #positivity #stjohnusvi #virginislands #coralbay #homesweetisland #itWasHottttttttt #mrsjosephinesgarden (at Coral Bay, St John, Vi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDO5_coFqos/?igshid=7w2jgo6cuydn

Mother’s Day was my mom’s favorite holiday. I remember one Mother’s Day, when I didn’t have any money I didn’t get her anything. She was so furious that she cried. (I’ve never seen her cry like that). I told her I didn’t have any money and she told me that was an excuse, and that I was a creative and the least I could do was MAKE her a card. She told me Mother’s Day was more important than her birthday because she was being celebrated for doing a round the clock job that’s she loved. Im so grateful that she was my mom. From that day on, I’ve always created something special for. ⁣ ⁣ Although she of no longer with us in flesh, she’s always here in spirit. I continue to make Mother’s Day special with DopeHennaCandles for all the deserving moms out there who continue to be a great mom despite everything happening in the world. I put as much love in creating these candles as I would for my own. Get your special lady something so she can feel appreciated. 💛⁣ ⁣ Due to covid-19 I will be starting my customized candle series earlier this year. You can dm or email your requests. Shipping options are available. (Do not hesitate to order because it is just me creating, and these customized candles take time.⁣ ⁣ #MadeWithLove #ThatDopeHennaLady #DopeHennaCandles #hennaCandles ⁣ #thatdopehennalady #MothersDay #MothersDayCandles #CustomisedCandles #Henna #mehendi #nyc #NYCartist #art #flourish #Detail #supportyourlocalartist #SupportBlackBusinesses (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KGKeBlk3y/?igshid=lgszo07cfi4t
