When i work i am almost always on the brink of insanity! So many
people pressing in, "henna me! henna me!" and such. I can't seem to
sit down for a peaceful hour of hennaing. Whenever i henna *myself* i
totally space out and get into my "henna trance" which is also why i
think that i do my best work on myself every time. But hennaing other
people! oy. Maybe i should consider finding an assistant?
any ideas?
