Sorry for the inconvenience…

Alchemy Slow Living is a labor of love and a micro business where I wear all the hats - thank you for being here!

I will be traveling September 19 - October 4, 2025. Our itinerary includes Athens, Corinth, Santorini and Naxos with day trips, cooking classes and a food tour.

Please note that orders placed between September 19 and October 4 will ship October 5, 2025.

I apologize for the inconvenience - but I’m super excited to explore a new-to-me place in the world.

Henna Body Art

Lawsonia Inermis is humble little shrub that gives us a dye molecule used in textile design and to create temporary body art.

The art form is an integral part of some celebrations including weddings and EID. And it can be worn at anytime to beautify the body, uplift the spirit.

We use 100% natural henna and mix our own paste. Designs last 10-14 days.
