Indian Beauty Session

Last night saw 20 local residents taking part in an Indian health Session as part of the run up to the main Global Village Event on Sunday. A range of residents had the opportunity to learn about henna tattoos and their role in indian culture, indian/bollywood make up and reiki and indian head massage.

All residents who attended reported that the event was excellent and that they would welcome the opportunity to try the activities again.

We would like to thank the Global Village Committee for providing the workshop and for Dashna and Poonam from Ridhi's Beauty in Cardiff for providing hands on beauty activities.
