Camphor interesting, but at what cost?

Wow this hopefully won't come off like I'm trashing the Camphor idea,
but the truth is, part of the experience of henna for me is the smell.
If I have to be careful as to not get a headache, that would take a
little of the experience out of it for me.
That's one reason why I either mix my paste up using Castle Art
powder, or just rely on Matthew's Mehnd MUD premixed stuff. It's so
easy to use, and leaving it on 1 hour sure beats wrapping and lemon
sugar and such. I have such a gorgeous stain after about an hour of
leaving the design on my hand last night.....it's incredible that the
paste I'm using I have had in my fridge since August. The key is to
make sure that you AIRPROOF the container. For me that usually means
just putting saran wrap over the opening and then putting the bottle
top back on.
I dunno, I am all about simplicity and using something that will not
only produce beautiful results, but also that makes the experience
better for the client, or myself!!! :)~
