Bored, can't move, so humor me and ask me anything.

I've had henna on my head for the last two hours and have two more hours to go. I can't move around or little pieces of dried henna follow me throughout the house. I've already watched the last episode of True Blood and an episode of Weeds.

So please, help this time go by faster and ask me stuff! Stick out tongue

  • What's with the henna?  Hair dye?

  • Yeah. The last time I used boxed dye it made my head tingle and I have a friend that had a reaction to PPD and ended up with blisters so I don't want to put it on my head anymore. Freaked me out.

  • My head itches like a mother when I get my hair dyed.  The first time I thought fire ants were on my scalp and it took all my self control to keep from going BSC and screaming!

  • Yikes! Do you still dye your hair but put up with the itchiness? I googled PPD reaction when it happened to my friend and I was glad that all I felt was a tingle.

    However, after this henna I will probably just grow my hair out. I'm using the Lush henna bar and it's such a pain in the ass that I don't think I'll do it again.

    Yes, I just suffer in silence.  I'm afraid to google that. 

    Don't you love LUSH products?  XH got me one of their buckets full of stuff for Hanukkah one year--loved it!

  • Don't google it.

    And yes, I do! I really like their bubble baths and bath fizzies. I've also used their moisturizers and cuticle balm. There's a lot more I want to try but I hate how expensive it is here.

  • What book are you reading now (or did you last read)?  Would you recommend it?

    What's your favorite book you've read this year?

  • Probably Anna and the French Kiss or Divergent. I read a lot of young adult books. Embarrassed

    ETA: I just finished Matched. It reminded me a lot of Delirium (which I liked better) but it was still pretty good!

    I'm also in the middle of The Idiot's Guide to Sewing. I have no idea what I'm doing with my machine.

  • Tell me about Anna and the French Kiss.  Is it as romantic as it sounds?

    :P  I'm big into romance.

  • I think so! Bare bones summary: girl goes to boarding school in France, meets boy with hot accent who is unavailable, develops crush, etc etc. This book takes you back to that innocent first love of high school and leaves you with a giddy feeling inside.

  • Sounds sweet!  How's the henna?  Is it finished already?

  • Almost! I'm heading upstairs to rinse it out in 5-10 minutes. Finally!
