Hi, hi!

Well even though my tests haven't been nearly as organized as yours,
(meaning I'm just mixing different amounts and different
concentrations until I find one I like) mine have turned out
fantastic. I've found that the trick is to not be afraid of your Tea
Tree Oil, smelly as it may be. Use a good helping of it in your
paste. Here's my methods so far: First mix the lemon juice into the
powder and make it thick like a mudmask, then leave it overnight. The
next day juice it up with Tea Tree Oil, a good bit too, a few drops
doesn't do much. If the paste is still too thick, add a lil more
lemon juice (God I feel like an alchemist!). Then leave it sit for at
least an hour if not more. Then have fun. You'll only need to leave
the paste on for a half hour to 2hours, then go ahead and take it
off. It will be a bright yellowish orange at first, then magically
over two nights it will turn a deep orange brown, a beautiful, dark
stain!

I'm thrilled, and have ordered some Jamilla from Mehendi-Muse.com The
gal that runs it is a real sweetie and her prices are right. On an
expense note, take a look at the pharmacy of your local Wal-Mart near
the bandaids and the poison ivy stuff. They have tea tree oil in
amber bottles in a 2 oz size. They only run about $5 each. The oil is
superb and I've gotten great results from it. I also hear you can get
clove oil from them too, but you have to actually go to the pharmacy
and ask a pharmacist, for some reason they don't put it on the shelf.
I'm not sure how much it runs though. I understand the money crunch
right now, I myself am saving up to purchase some erm... better
smelling oils. :-)

I haven't done any clients all summer really, been at home and
working for Wal-Mart just dont' have the time to do it right now. I
can't wait to get back to school (in Pittsburgh PA) where I'm right
around a bunch of other colleges and I can advertise more than last
year and realy get this thing hoppin! I didn't know you had a baby!
How old? and what name? I've gotta run, work today...
Blessings, and great big pseudo sisters hugs,
Sarah
