Henna has made Eids even more precious to me
With Ramadan around the corner, I can't help but get excited for the most fruitful season for muslim henna artists: Eid! I cherish the opportunities of doing Eid henna for muslimahs who value this holiday as much as I do.
Doing Eid henna at local stalls and bazaars have enriched my experience as a young henna artist. The first Eid I did this was two years ago on Eid ul Adha when I was a freshman in high school. I remember being the slowest one there (and the worst), I think in 4 hours I did 6 hands... yeah. Now in 4 hours I can do 20+! Growth ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ ูฑููุญูู ูุฏู ููููููฐูู
Since then, I stuck with it and now intend to not go one Eid without doing henna and keep this long-held tradition of Eid henna alive. And when I envision my future, I see myself as a college student doing Eid henna for the Muslim Student Association ุฅููู ุดูุงุกู ูฑูููููฐูู.
Also, this is lowkey my annual income because I have made the most money in Ramadan/Eid season ๐ค (ok but of course it's not just about money, I love doing henna so much and do it for free sometimes!)
Whether at an intimate chaand raat gathering or a public Eid bazaar or last minute henna appointments at my place right after taraweeh, it brings me so much joy to celebrate and help others celebrate Eid through henna. I know most people (including myself) are anticipating cute and elegant henna to go with their Eid outfits; you can count on me.
I am so excited for the love and togetherness that this next month and a half will bring. I pray for a Ramadan and Eid full of blessings and joy and happiness for all of us โค๏ธโ๐ฉนโค๏ธโ๐ฉน.
