Mehndi, also known as henna, is used to adorn brides prior to the ceremony in South Asia, Middle East, and North African countries. I have seen Mehndi in many lovely and intricate designs but never have I seen it in white as it is on this brides arm. What an equally elegant alternative to the deep reddish brown colors often used. Beautiful! What do you think?
…. white is NOT mehndi because it isn’t the same plant.
but overlooking that, it’s pretty :)
All the lights are getting set up, in the city, the town common, on lawns…so lovely. Mmmm.
when i was younger, my family took on this season with the fervor of any youthful family. we would go on drives through towns in the countryside by the mountains to see the big insane fairy lights and decoration displays. we’ve gone to New York on Christmas to see the tree at Rockefeller center and catch a Broadway show. We’ve made snow men out of buckets in our back yard, and decorated a Christmas tree with funny ornaments. My mother and I watch Hallmark Christmas movies every winter late at night for as far back as I can remember with hot chocolate and secret laughter.
I love that a cold and isolating time of year can actually bring people closer together than they are the rest of the 11 months. It’s almost like in December, we accept our need for community, love, and family.
my love for wintry lights + snow is endless. can’t wait for my dose this new year’s! :]

you don’t have to sail the oceans, no, no, no.
happiness is no mystery; it’s here and now, it’s you and me.

An Ancient Chinese proverb says “An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, and despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangle, but will never be broken.”
