My convenience circumvents the FDA...henna surprises

Another shipment of henna just arrived and to save space in packing
the sealed bags of henna were removed from their boxes. This was the
first time the henna arrived like this and it works out perfectly
because the boxes are strewn with pictures of hennaed hands, bowls of
henna paste, and syringes, and not a russet lock of hair anywhere.
Lots of odd red flags that might have caught the attention of the
FDA. Now my henna really looks like it's just for hair!

My hubby also brought back a box of Moroccan henna that is just for
hair. The picture on the box shows a woman with long, beautiful hair
and then a platter of different herbs and flowers which I assume are
in the mix. The henna itself smells different from the other henna
that is for body art (shh!). I haven't opened the package yet to see
what kinds of stuff are in the mix.

He also brought me back some wedding favors from a friend's wedding
in Morocco. They are little lace and fabric pouches of dried henna
leaves (like you might see at an American wedding but filled with
jordan almonds or rice or bird seed). The leaves smell so different
from the ground henna, which I didn't expect at all.

Back to unpacking!
