The other cabinet is in place, finally!

We needed to make holes in the back for the cords and stuff before we moved it into place. It was a pain in the ass without proper tools, but finally we got it done! ^^


The moose got his own place now too.
I love the mix of old and new!

 I knew this was the perfect spot for my big pinecone, along with the
smaller ones... & candle holders. :)
I cant describe how happy I was when I found that huge pinecone in the woods! :D

 Handmade candle holders, second hand. :)


Today is a sunny and beautiful autumn-day! After taking a shower, I'll see if there's time to go for a walk in the forest with the dogs - before dad arrives for BBQ'ing! Probably the last one this year.

Henna Round 2 - Done!

The mess is done with. Phew.
I bought the same henna as last time, Crearome (pure henna powder, body art quality).
And still, it doesnt turn red, but orange!? Again!
This time we only mixed it with lemon juice, wich should be the best for getting your hair as red as possible... we even added paprika powder, for even more redness! 
Next time I'll get Herbiques henna, or some other brand, because this one should be named "carrot" and not "red".

Anyway, it still needs time to oxidize, up to 7 days I think. But I dont have too much hope - Last time it didnt change at all. Except for when I washed my hair when alot of color fell out.
I've read ALOT about henna the last year and it seems that everyones' henna oxidize except for mine. -.- Is it really that ruined from all the bleaches and dreads?

Before.
My hair gets fluffy & looks superdry when I brush it. :/

 During.
I've never felt more pretty! xD
My henna always "melt" and runs down my head. Very annoying.
 

 The day after.
After I washed out the henna I could'nt leave my hair alone, it was so soft, :) that's why it's so straight.

 In the sunlight!

So, not a huge differance, but atleast my growth doesnt look grey now. ^^

Camilla's result.
Her hair looks a bit weird because it got ruined when we did a perm, it just melted. But it's getting better and the henna helps alot. :)

A second go with henna!

Me and sis are having fun this weekend. Playing with henna-goo! :D
I have a not-so-pretty growth and I need to henna my whole hair again since the first coloring didnt stick that well. Plus I want it more red.

Camilla colored her hair with henna from Lush, "Caca Rouge". It doesnt make your hair as red as pure henna powder, so she is going for a second application too. This time with the same stuff I used. 
The more henna you use, the better you hair gets. :)

Smelly shinies

We're mixing the goo tonight, so that it can sit for 12 hours. So the fun begins tomorrow morning, woho! Not. Atleast it's fun afterwards with a new shiny haircolor. :)

Oh, and I bought some shampoo & conditioner, pretty expensive for my taste, but I had to try it. It's all organic and stuff. :) Used it last night and my hair is allready much softer than before, and it doesnt look like a dry, fluffy ball anymore when I have it in a ponytail. Hurray! 

Update coming when we're done coloring!

For now, some more Dexter. <3
