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.

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

 POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months.  One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face  when it’s windy outside.  It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days .  A pop of color is nice to see during the winter  season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice.  The Accessories .  I love to add a few accessories also.  Bracelets add a little interest to the look .  The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good  , as well as the multi twist bracelet.  Ps  The photo does not show the true color .  It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull .  After a few retakes no change.  Camera issues. 

DRESS. It up//fashion style

DRess It Up A simple grey knit top  is something I had been looking for sometime. Grey is not usually my pick,  but I thought time to try some other neutral shade.  The top is tunic style and loose fitting . Definitely a comfort piece.  I decided to add some different accessories to it.  This shiny silver piece just a bit of interest to the plain top.  Accessories are really a great way to give an outfit a different look.      Love this multi strand necklace . It suits this knit top, not to delicate but fun and an interesting piece.
