Thank you. That is very nice of you. =)

Think about this...
You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
*PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST IT'S SO DAMN TRUE*
1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. add this as a comment to ten of ur friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years..."

You should do everyone a favor and shut up. I don't know you and I don't want to. Why would you want dephile my DA page with this bvllsh*t!?! Don't send me or anyone else this crap!!
:iconxxdancethemawayxx:
bizarre. i am so into henna at times it hurts. a friend of mine did it for like, 2 summers straight.
it was kinda our thing.
we stopped because.... i don't know why.

anyways. where do you get the powder(i assume you make your own paste by the color) and what recipe do you use for your paste? do you lemon sugar it or something else? i am oh so curious now.

who knew there was such an earthy, hippy side to you. hahah
:iconjojomehndi:
Actually, I don't make my own paste, at least not yet. I haven't had time to. I get the paste in tubes from a hippie grocery store down the street from where I live. It is cheap enough and a good enough quality that I don't really need to make my own. I would like to I try out some recipes I have. They ask for lemon juice, sugar, tea leafs, eucaliptus (sp?) oil, etc. There are a bunch of other ingredents that they recommend but thoughs are just to change the smell, which I wouldn't want to do because it would delute the dye.

Yup, "Joe the Hippie" lol.
:iconxxdancethemawayxx:
from scary joe to hippy joe. what a transformation.
all teh past that i bought pre-fab was very dark and stinky... kind of scary.

how much is it and how is the stain?

i might need to trade you something for some because i feel the urge again :)

every summer i'd do the bottoms of both me feet (pain in the ass to wait to dry) and both palms, legs, arms, back... everything. a good thing to increase the length of the stain and the color is a simple solution of lemon juice and sugar (messy!) applied a few times and let dry over the paste. it keeps it moist longer. then wrap it in cotton and saran and leave it over night. again, pain in the ass, but well worth it if done right.

a less messy option is "new skin"... comes in a glass bottle, smells like cloves, makes a thick platicy layer of the henna paste to keep it moist longer and trap your body heat to make teh stain darker and tat stay longer.

anywho... </rambling>
