Mehndi Maharani 2015 Finalist: Samira's Henna Designs

I knew you couldn't stay away. Who would want to with all this Mehndi Maharani excitement?! Here's what you're after...Samira Elbekraoui Ali of Samira's Henna Designs is today's third finalist in the 5th Mehndi Maharani Contest with Ash Kumar, and we were truly blown away by her sensational submission. Samira shared with us what she loves most about the art of mehndi:

"What I love about mehndi, is that mentally I get lost in the art and I lose track of time. It relaxes me, almost like in meditation. Bridal mehndi is my favorite because it takes more time, which offers me a path to a deeper concentration and creativity. I love mehndi nights for family and guests as well. I found out the longer time I work the better I become and more creative my mind gets." - Samira Elbekraoui Ali
