Reeshma

My Name is Reeshma and I am a 34 year old woman.

I am married to the love of my life, who I have known for 18 years now. We met in high school and went through 7 years of long distance and got married in 2007!

We have 2 beautiful kids, a boy and a girl. I am currently a stay at home mum, and love spending time with them doing kids crafts.

I am a self taught henna artist, I love to draw on people! I am very passionate about my henna art and about safe practices of using henna. Henna is a plant based skin dye that temporarily stains the skin. It has been used for thousands of years to adorn women and men. I love the smell, the act of doing the henna, the rituals and the soothing calm that henna brings in my life.

I use only natural organic henna and try to raise awareness of chemical henna that is everywhere and that is very harmful. I am learning to be able to charge for my henna! - So far most of the work I've done is free.

My new passion is making earrings. they are not fancy, but they are pretty. I buy beads from Walmart or Michaels or break down old jewellery to make new ones.

I LOVE TEA- I am a tea addict! :) I love trying new teas and having tea parties with my daughter. :)

:)

I am obsessed with Hindi music. Hindi is my 5th Language, but I learned it because of the music.

Anything Bollywood makes me happy. The Bling, the sounds, all the Instalove and dancing!

So many books.. So little space.. I love reading romances, fantasies and YA books.

SOME of my favourite books and authors are

Brandon Sanderson- His series The Stormlight Archive is out of this world!

Alison Bailey- who wrote Present Perfect, This book is such a emotional roller coaster- InstaLove alert for anyone that doesn't like YA instalove!

Ann Aguirre and her Razorland series

Karen Marie Moning and the Fever series

Diana Gabaldon and the Outlander series

Peter V Brett and his series Demon Cycle (Totally amazing!)

I could go on and on- so far on good reads I have 1157 books marked as READ (these are the ones I remember reading in the last few years) and 200 or so To read!

Please feel free to send me a list of recommendations- or reviews that you like.

I mostly read on my e-reader but a good book is a good book! Feel free to pass on any book that you think I MUST read.

I love doing crafts- learning about new crafts. Anything crafty is GREAT! I am very I to doodling. I love pens with very thin points or metallic colours.

I love stick on rhinestones!

I am into jewellery making right now. I also love to draw henna inspired cards.

Anything sparkly and glittery! :)

My daughter loves pink and princess and my son is into transformers and teenage mutant ninja turtles right now! So stickers in those themes are great!
