TATTOOING TREND// beauty

THE BODY ART TREND

Tattoos have become a big trend with some bloggers having some lovely simple ones.
The tattoos are like pieces of art.

Another type of tattooing is a Henna tattoo using a natural plant base to color the skin. It is especially popular in India, Africa and the Middle East countries. Indian brides will have gorgeous tattoos applied to their hands or feet. The intricate designs look like fine lace and look amazing. The henna is an old tradition that dates back thousands of years to Egyptian times.

Many people while on holidays will try or want something different. A tattoo is maybe something you have thought about having. You might come across a place that offers Henna tattoos or BLACK HENNA tattoos. Be aware not all HENNAS are alike.

HENNA - BLACK or BROWN?

SO if you are contemplating a tattoo , a temporary one is a choice using Henna.
Most important to be aware that not all hennas are safe. The natural henna is made from plants, no chemicals and is a brownish color once applied.

There is another BLACK henna which is not safe and uses PPD chemical paraphenylenediamine. at levels that are too high. IT is also used in hair colours but at a much lower levels.

The results from using a Black henna can be severe allergic reactions , where the skin swells and becomes extremely itchy and very painful. Some women and girls who have had these types of tattoos needed months of medical hospital treatment and some were left with scars. Not a pretty sight.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

Favorite things I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023. Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea of shopping my closet or using what I have . Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly. The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again. Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring. The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece. The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents. It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it. ...
