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!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
