Mehendi is a form of body art worn by women generally on the hands, arms, and feet. Mehendi is most popular in its countries of origin, which is believed to date back to prehistoric times, in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, African countries, and several countries in the Middle East. In the past several years, mehendi has been popularized in the western world and became widely known as "henna tattoos".

Mehendi can be worn by women for religious events like weddings, rituals, etc. or for any fancy event. Whether you wear it for cultural reasons or just for fun, mehendi always adds elegance and beauty!

Here are a few of my top favorite mehendi designs I have come across online:

Peacock Mehendi Design

Though this is on the simpler side, I have used this design multiple times when I did my own mehendi on my palms. I am obsessed with anything peacock-related, so this design is perfect anytime I want an easy and quick peacock pattern!

Bridal Mehendi

On the contrary, bridal mehendi is perhaps the most intricate type. Worn for grand Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, etc. weddings, the bride and all the closest female family members and friends get their mehendi done. I love this elegant mehendi design with the bride on one hand and the groom on the other, which is a very popular bridal mehendi design.

Arabic Design

Arabic designs usually consist of floral, non-symmetric patterns. These beautiful patterns can be worn for a variety of occasions and will definitely make it hard to take your eyes off of your hands and feet!

Moroccan Mehendi

Usually formed by fine lines and geometric designs, Moroccan mehendi has its own unique style. These designs range from super simple to deep and complicated. No matter the complexity, you can surely rock Moroccan mehendi.

White Henna Tattoo

White Henna tattoos have been popularized in the western world in more recent years. White henna is not true mehendi; it is similar to a temporary body paint, which will last 2-3 days at maximum. Although I do not recommend white henna tattoos all the time due to skin safety issues, it's definitely fun to try out once!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
