6 words for today:
Henna: My beautiful way to hide.
I've been getting into henna again, my mom is still WAY better at it than me, but I'm learning and I'm ridiculously proud of what I did do.
Spoiler for pics

So, here is the side views, the henna paste is on and it's pretty thick

Top view ^
Other side ^
Added fingertips!!! ^
Full on top view with fingertips ^
2nd day, paste washed off. ^
It'll keep getting darker for a lil while, then it'll stay, then it'll fade.
If I'm careful, it could last 1-2 weeks
And, Just for the heck of it, MY ENTIRE ARM!!!!! THIS TOOK AN HOUR AND I'M SO PROUD OF IT!!!
I USED THE REST OF THE HENNA CONE!!!
So anyway, that was really really fun, and I'm going to get more henna and keep practicing!!
For those of you who would like to try this, I got the henna paste off of Amazon, and found a few YouTube tutorials about beginner designs and such. Pinterest also has some great stuff.
It's fairly easy, but it does take practice. I like to trace my hand on a piece of paper, then put the henna on the paper to practice before I do it on my skin. It's an amazing art form, and I'll probably do some symbols from some different books and such at some point
Anyway... I have so much schoolwork to do before tomorrow... even though I just want to procrastinate and go outside cause it's freaking 66 degrees!!! (F)
*sigh*
I hate decisions....
Anyway!
Love you all!
Have a good day/rest of your day!!!
My PMs are open!!!
*hugs*
