All Natural Henna Body Art
JessiKay Henna is fully insured and has been studying and applying home made henna for over 12 years. Teaching workshops for 8 years. Based out of Louisville Ky she travels all over the country year round applying henna at parties and events Henna has been around for 6000 years and has been adopted by many Cultures. Originally documented in Africa for medicinal use and body art it was then traded and introduced to the Middle East and then India. India now grows it and has since perfected the body art aspect of henna. I would like to return again this year and offer demonstrations on how it is made from the leaves of the henna plant and a few other ingredients. and show how to apply it. I would also like to apply it on guests and charge per person.
Hestia
AL is a countertop device and companion app that keeps aging parents and their adult children in each other’s daily lives without either having to check in physically . Most older adults living alone are independent, and run their week. What they lack isn’t supervision but a shared channel. The current substitute is the weekly phone call, answers neither fully trusts. It answers questions out loud, shows the day’s plan, cycles photos the family sends, and dispenses pre-sorted medication on schedule. The app gives the family the other side: a written summary of the parent’s day, sleep and vitals pulled from wearables she already owns, and one thread where siblings coordinate and act. Between them sits an agent layer that turns signal into something readable in thirty seconds.
