Bali High
I am just back from Bali where I met up with Rafti. Yes I know she really does live the best life. I love visiting her there. We do lots of yoga and eat health food. I love to walk in the rice paddies and slow down from my hectic life in NY.
I am always looking for old houses and hidden temples on my adventures. Here are some of my favorite finds from my wanderings.

Visiting Morocco
May is always a wonderful time to go to Morocco and this year I went to visit my best friend Rafti who I grew up with in Sydney. She now lives between Fez and Bali and is always happy to offer up a hand or a foot for me to play on.
We went and stayed with her friend Steven who owns the famous Cafe Clock in his hill side house overlooking Meknès. Here is a photo of the beautiful room I got to sleep in and a design that I did on Rafti after a leisurely breakfast of fresh orange juice and croissants on the terrace

When the Easter Bunny turned into a Jackalope
One on my favorite 4 year olds asked me to make a little bunny on her hand for easter and so I happily pulled out a henna cone and drew it on her arm. She loves sparkles so I added a little glitter. Her 7 year old sister did not want to miss out but she didn't want an ordinary bunny either so we added some antlers and Voila! A Jackalope was born. Can you guess her favorite color?
Making my own Henna
Hello and welcome to Henna Jules.
I love henna and am inspired by it and the people who share my passion for this magic plant that has been adorning women for centuries.
The choices are simple. I start with Fresh triple sifted dried Natural Henna Powder from India, Pakistan or Morocco. I then add lemon juice and organic essential Lavender or Cajeput Oil.
Sometimes I mix in a little Wild Orange or Lemongrass Essential oil depending on how I am feeling and the season.
Here is a test of 4 different batches. As you can see each batch is slightly different and can be anywhere from lush and creamy to pliable and stringy.
