Henna here! Hi, Myst

I would like to say that I am an american and married to a Pakistani
for twelve years, and have been into doing henna art for about nine
years now. I have read all the boards messages and I have to admit I
have learned a lot!!!! But, as I must say, I also have a few things
to add. I just want to make sure I don't get accused of being like
that poor knowledgeable cc. By the way, sorry for that insensitive
cad...U seem lovely. I got married when I was only 15 and a half, no
I wasnt pg or anything else except in LOVE. Still here, married with
three little kids under the age of five, and when I get a chance to
do my mehndhi, every three or four days, I do! (If hubby is not "IN
THE MOOD"! By the way, I am red headed and very fair, though I don't
have all the freckles associated with being redheaded. I use Rani or
Jani kones, but not from the kone itself. I use the tip that I screw
onto a bottle that, )GULP) came from my Powerider with lubricant that
had no instuctions whatsoever about when, where or how to apply to
the da*n machine anyway. By chance, I put a clean tip on it to see
if it fit, and HEY!!! It DID!!! I think it had silicon or something
else in it, and since I had the stuff for a few years, I cleaned out
the bottle real well and let it dry a few days before using it.
Anyway, me and that tiny bottle with tip have been best friends for
about 6 months now. I get enough mehndhi in it for one hand and a
foot with detailed patterns on both before I need a "refil". I
unscrew the tip off, turn it upside down, squeeze all the air out of
the bottle, put it up to the mouth of the pre mixed stuff, and let
gravity suck all the goop in the bottle!!! I hope anyone reading
this can be helped. Also, due to the size of the bottle, about the
length of a ladie's pinkie, with the tip on I might add, you can
craddle the bottle in your palm and you don't need to exert so much
pressure with your thumb and get cramps in your hand. Anyway, I
recently joined the Henna ring, and I saw myst's link and saw her
website. How are your cats? And I think HIS name is Frank? Anyway,
sorry if I don't remember right. Hope to be here often! Hello, ALL
OF YOU!
