About Me

I'll be deleting this profile soon. If you don't have my contact information already, message me and we can get in touch. <3

I'm a henna artist based in Virginia. Right now I live at Acorn Community and balance time between intentional community and my henna business in Richmond. To keep up with my adventures, visit joanjr.blogspot.com .

Check out my recipe exchange blog, and let me know if you'd like to be added as an author so you can post your own recipes. I'm all about sharing the delicious meals we all enjoy and keeping up with seasonal food. The blog is at lionlotus.blogspot.com . See you there!
