The Dalgona Coffee Craze!

4/5/2020

2 Comments

 
Hi everyone! I hope you're having a lovely day. I caved in and decided to try out the infamous Dalgona Coffee. It has become a Tik Tok and Instagram sensation. It is surprisingly so good! It tastes like an ice latte and it has definitely become an obsession for me to drink this every morning. I decided to stop after 4 consecutive mornings because it was a little too much sugar for me. I'm not used to having so much sugar in my coffees, but it is a really nice dessert coffee.

I added the recipe down below for you to try out at home! super easy with ingredients you probably already have. I hope you enjoy it! Please comment and let me know how yours turned out!

Dalgona Coffee

Picture
Servings: 1
Time Estimate: 5 min
​
Ingredients:

1 tbsp instant coffee
1 tbsp sugar
​1 tbsp hot boiling water
1/2 cup any milk of choice
Ice cubes

1. Take a small deep bowl and add your instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.
​2.  Mix ingredients until instant coffee and sugar has dissolved.

​3. Whip mixture with your choice of a whisk, hand mixer, or frother. I would recommend using a frother or hand mixture. A whisk will be more difficult to use and could take 15 minutes to complete.
​4. Whip until mixture changes into a creamy tan color and produces stiff peaks.

5. Pour milk into glass and spoon coffee cream mixture on top of milk, mix in until cream is incorporated into the milk. Add ice cubes.
​6. Enjoy!

10 Year challenge

I know I know.. I am a little late to the party. About 6 months too late. However, one of my very good friends recently found photos of the henna I had done for her when we were in Jr. Highschool together.

I did not own a camera at that age so I never really documented any of my early work when I started my henna journey in 2007. Swipe through the photos to check out my henna from 10 years ago!

Looking at these old photos are definitely humbling. It made me reflect on the past 10 years and made me feel so lucky and grateful for every individual who has trusted me over the years, volunteered to be my canvas, & supported me through my journey to become the henna artist I am today.

I am still growing as an artist day by day. Perfecting my art work and becoming inspired by all the beauty around me. I thank every individual who had supported my business in the past and everyone who is supporting my business now and will in the future.

I am truly blessed ♥️

Hi everyone! I hope you and your family is staying healthy and well. During my free time while I've been in self-isolation I decided to over stock all the items for our online store for quick and easy no-contact pick-ups, deliveries, and online orders. I've been feeling quite productive.. well.. as productive as I can be during this time!

As you may notice in the first photo, I have 3 different carrot cones which contain 3 different pastes that Jay's Henna Art provides on out online store.

​Left to Right: henagua paste (henna-jagua 50/50 blend), jagua paste, henna paste.

We've also FINALLY added white henna cones, black jagua cones, and henagua cones to our store. As wells as empty cellophane cones and sheets for DIY henna cones.

Feel free to check out our shop by clicking the button down below!
Check out our store!

​I wish all your families health and safety during this time.


With Love,
Jay

Tribal inspired Jagua tattoo

2/8/2020

0 Comments

 

I had the opportunity and challenge to create a Hawaiian tribal inspired tattoo for a couple clients for their Canada Day party. this request definitely put me out of my comfort zone to design and apply a large scale jagua tattoo!

Before I could create these tribal tattoo for my clients, I did my research on Hawaiian tribal tattooing. I wanted to understand the history behind it and the meaning of this ancient art form to the indigenous Hawaiian people. I found that tribal tattoos, traditionally called kakau, originally represented the power and bravery individuals. The tattoo artists would draw into the skin of their clients by cutting the skin in the desired shapes and patterns, filling the opened skin with an ash-soot mixture, and letting it dry to leave a deep black color. This ancient tattooing method was quite painful and reserved for males, mostly. 

Every individual's tribal tattoo hold many possible a significant meanings such as life stories, struggles, and beliefs. To be respectful of the Hawaiian culture and history I had decided to avoid taking references of original tribal tattoos and instead creating my very own. I decided to create a design that was inspired by the ocean waves, native flowers, and common sea life found near the Hawaiian islands. My intention for these two pieces were to ultimately represent the beautiful nature of Hawaii!

Please enjoy the photos down below!

#HennaInspired Holiday Treats!

12/18/2018

I had come across Sonika’s Henna Art through Instagram a few years back and I was mesmerized by her beautiful henna cookies! These colourful treats Sonika had decorated with icing inspired me to try it out myself!

This is my first ever batch of henna cookies! I thought I would stick with a red background with white embellishments to keep with the Christmas holiday theme! I baked the sugar cookies and mixed the royal icing from scratch. It took a good chunk of time but I am definitely happy with the results! This order is now ready to be enjoyed by the sweet staff of Silvera for Seniors for their annual Christmas party!

​I am definitely looking forward to making more of the beautiful looking treats! If you are looking for special and unique treats to enjoy with friend or family at a dinner party, wedding, or special event, then definitely order a batch of these cookies! They can be created to match any theme that you may desire!

Happy Holidays!
