I wonder how fast henna paste would spoil with Coca Cola mixed in.
My experience with the beverage is that it goes flat in about 6 hours
if left open and more than a couple days open it starts to mold.

(That mold part I'm familiar with courtesy a particularly lazy ex-
boyfriend, who wouldn't clean house until the piles of stuff started
breathing...)

Anyway, I might do a little test if I get some time. Do you think
that the caffiene will absorb into the skin? Maybe I'll get the
caffiene free type. I don't think I'll go for the Diet Coke, because
I seem to remember some nasty artificial sweetener that I wouldn't
want to put on my skin.

Wow. It must be late. I think I'll file this experiment under "WAY
out on a limb"
