now,

: Blessings, and do forgive the rant,
: Sarah

I work in retail as well Michael's arts & crafts(mgt)I henna myself
and get the same comments. But less so because most of custoemrs are
artists themselves. I do occasionally get a stupid troll(an ignorant
person)Oh, trust me even if we weren't wearing henna, there are still
stupidity and ignorance in this world.
Bright Blessings,
Christine.
