Actually, I used Jamilla henna for this batch. I've got like five
boxes of it in the back of my freezer that I'm trying to use up
before it bites the dust. I mixed two tablespoons with a little
lemon juice, enough to make like a henna dough, then left it
overnight and half a day, then made a tea type substance because I
didnt feel like juicing any more damn lemons, and added that to it to
get a good consistency. Then I added a little sugar then two
teaspoons of cajeput.

I waited about two hours before applying a little mandala to the top
of my hand. It started flaking off in about an hour. So,
remembering CCJ raving about designs on for 15 looked just as good, I
scraped it off. It's now bright bright orange (looks more bright
outside in the natural light). I just want it to darken up enough to
get by at a gig I have tonight. I did kinda wait till the last
minute, I know henna takes a day to look good.

The rest of my oils came today in the mail, I'll let y'all know how
those results go next week.
