After the henna, we went to Kohl's to look for a swimsuit for my daughter. We could not find one, but she found 2 shirts and a light jacket. I hated the jacket, but my sister talked me into it. It was $54, but we got it for $14.
Then we went to Academy and found a swimsuit for her. Then we had a salad lunch since I had chili cooking in the crock pot.
Here are our henna pictures!
I usually get my on my lower leg and ankle, but this time I decided to get it done on my arm. I told her to use a dragonfly and then incorporate it into any design she wished. She is very talented and she only uses the safest henna out there. I love the dark orange it has not - this is still with thick dye on it.
My daughter wanted a snake very badly! I am very impressed with how the artist came up with a elegant, but fierce snake all at once! My daughter is extremely happy with it, even though it does not go down her arm all the way.
I have not downloaded my sister's yet, but she did a flower on her wrist, then a bigger floral design on her ankle and lower leg. It is lovely.
Do any of you get henna from time to time? I like to get it every summer at least once.
I haven't done the Henna, but my DD did once when we went to Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteI love it! It goes from a brown to a light orange and then just fades away. I would never get a tattoo, though - henna is wild enough for me.
DeleteAt a party of mostly college kids, I did get henna on both hands, beautiful designs. My friend who was a professor at the university was invited to her son's party and I was invited, too. An art professors was there and putting it on the cutie college girls. I quietly asked for a design. He got started on one hand and worked longer than with the young girls, and then asked if I would like it on the other. I was thrilled beyond belief. When I got home to this small town, I realized this would not go over at all and spent hours and days trying to scrub it off.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I get nasty looks out here in the country, but they can jump of a cliff! I LOVE henna. I get different designs, they wear off eventually and when I get old, I won't have a saggy design! I really wish people would open up and try different experiences - it would help with the social injustices. But history repeats itself and human nature is the same wherever and whenever.
