Mehndi Part 2.....

 This blog post is a continuation of Mehndi part 1.... I have put to photos of how my mehndi looks. I put a before and after photo. The photo to the left is the before(a.k.a right after I put on the mehndi), and the photo to the right is the after photo(a.k.a when the mehndi got dry and peeled off). Mehndi is very easy to apply and its fun too! I added the link if you wanted to try it. I did the mehndi by myself. First, I got out my tube and my design. You can go online and find some designs if you want. Then, I cut the tip of the tube and started to apply it. It took me about an hour because it was my first time, but it was fun!! Obviously, it was well worth the wait!! I had so much fun doing it and I had fun hiding or getting away from obstacles. See, while the mehndi is drying you are not suppose to touch anything with the place that it is applied on. So while walking I had to push away many things, and that was hard to because I had mehndi on my hands too!! One time, my leg almost hit the sofa, and my sister screamed," Your leg is about to hit the sofa go away, shoo!" It was funny!!! Anyways, at the picture below, you can see a mehndi cone/henna cone.. And if you look closely you can see the mehndi on my hand. Well, that's all for today, its a wrap! (That is from a t.v. show, but I am forgetting which one!) Bye :))

Mehndi Design Part 1....


Mehndi Design which I am going to attempt 

Ever since I came to India I have wanted to do a mehndi, or henna. I have always had an interest in doing it, ever since I was a little girl. My mom bought me a cone and I use to draw butterflies and birds on my hands. I never knew how long to wait, so I only waited for an hour, and got upset when nothing came on my hand. My mom use to always tell me that you have to wait longer, but I never could resist! I use to be so excited to see the outcome! And I still am!! I am awaiting a mehndi tube/henna tube. It should be coming tomorrow... and that when my design will come life!! I cannot wait...

All day and night I have been online searching and searching for the perfect design or at least an idea. I have always been picky about the design, whenever I got it done I was very specific on how I wanted it. If I did not like it, I DID NOT LIKE IT PERIOD. But I have grown older and so has my sense of perfection, but their still is that wanting of it to be what I like. :P Some things just cannot be changed ,right?  So I searched the web and I found 5 designs which I loved!! So, I put them together and created what you see in the picture!!! I drew it in the morning and it was tons of fun! Pretty cool huh? I am a very artistic person...haha!:P I will post the real life product after it is done, I promise!!
