Camera found!

Since I found my old camera I took some pictures of the new plants

I bought for Andreas balcony the other day. ^^

Cherry tomatoes<3

Strawberries called "Polka". Interesting! :D

And a picture of the view from the balcony :3

Vienna

Thought I'd show you some pictures from the last time I was in Austria :3

A stand in "Naschmarkt" - a huuuge flea market in Vienna.

"Stephansdom", largest cathedral in Austria. Huuuuge! o_o

Pretty house, I really don't remember which one this is... ^^;

Playing with fire

Poi, covered with socks so they wont get hurt when I accidently
swing them into walls or my own legs...

I bought myself a pair of Poi yesterday ^^ I'm thinking of bringing fire into my belly dancing, and poi is a great way to start. Or, it might be "bringing belly dancing into my fire performance"... We'll see, when the time comes. First I need to practice! I've already gotten blisters on my middle knuckles from swinging them half the night...

Andreas showed me this video to look at and get some tips for beginners. Really helpfull video!

Lovley pictures the whole 2012

26 Dollars you can buy this stunning calendar from the very talanted

You'll have to wait a whole year to cover your wall with my backside, but come on -

it will be so worth it! I know I'll buy it when I have some extra money...! ^^

All (I know) about henna

So, I've promised you a short post about the hair colour I'm using, called "henna".

It's a greenish/brownish powder made from leaves of the henna tree (Lawsonia inermis).

This substance have been used since the Bronze age (!) by people all over the world

to colour their hair, skin, nails and even silk and wool. You can also use it to

colour and protect leather.

Henna powder

Using henna instead of regular hair colour have really made my hair feel smooth

and full of life (before I both bleached it and dyed it red). It also feels better to know

that I'm not using a bunch of chemicals just for the sake of looking pretty - it's

all just a plant, hot water and sometimes a spoonful of honey to bind it together.

Almost like making tea!

Me, looking good while using henna. Plastic bag to keep it moist!

I'd recommend everyone to try this if you want red or brown hair (there's also black and "neutral"/blonde henna, but I don't know much about it since I've never used it...).

It's cheeper than most of the ordinary hair colours you find in the stores, healthier and

over all much better for your hair! You can find it in most health stores in Sweden,

and I think it's quite common all over the world.
