Mehndi Hands....

belonging to a friend!!

How beautiful is this henna?  Some will know I love henna - you only have to see my feet!

Apparantly this pattern, being more floral is Arabic.

Henna art is quite a skill. The henna is applied, usually freehand straight from the tube and as you can see is a dark green almost black. 

The trick then is to leave it on until it dries without smudging! 

Claire had to drive home so carefully!

Here it is once dried, I really like the colour. 

To preserve the colour Claire was advised to use lemon juice. 

A friend who has a beauty salon advises her clients to use menthol rub!

 For me, I think it looks more beautiful as it fades.

Back soon to tell you about my trip to Palnackie!

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes...

Ok, sssshhhhh, I have a secret! I have been known to spend a LOT of money on shoes (well by my standards anyway). Like a lot of women I probably buy the shoes first then style the outfit around them.

Anyway, on a slap dash trip to Asda at lunch time last week I laid my hands on these for a bargainous £8.00 - the beauty of them is you don't have to style an outfit around them - they'll go with pretty much anything. Comfy too!

Absolutely love me a bit of leopard print - adds interest so easily to a pair of jeans and 
simple t-shirt.

I wear the anklet you can see all the time. The floral design on my feet are actually tattoo's which I had done after I had a Henna pattern and loved it. People think it is Henna when they see it!

Bye for now,
