Recipe for Evil
Yes! It came, it came! My henna mail came!
I mixed it up tonight. 20g henna, 3 T lemon juice, 20g table sugar, and about 8 drops tea tree oil. (I only meant to use 6 or 7 drops, but it just dripped so fast...) Mash it all up in a ziploc baggie, put it in the fridge on a paper towel, and hopefully I won't have dye release until tomorrow afternoon. Then I can henna all night long -- yay!
This is perfect. If I did everything right, then the design will be fully oxidized in all its glory just in time for the rib cookoff in Reno.
I hope my essential oils come in the mail tomorrow. They smell nice. If they don't, I'm probably going to add ground clove and allspice to the mix so it doesn't smell like a moldy lemonade stand, lol. Which reminds me -- I need to get manly-smelling essential oils. I only got girly-smelling ones.
Stay tuned for photos. And look out, because after this... I'm planning on doing my hair! (Cue supervillian, end-of-the-world chuckling.)
