: I use a plastic travel toothpick for corrections(neat little find

: gas station, bought 4 lol),LS & cotton balls,baby wipes

I bring baby wipes, but I use them on myself! They are wonderful for
cleaning the henna smears off your hands, and wiping down your body
if you're hot and sweaty. I like to use bamboo skewers to correct my
henna, they are much easier to hang onto than toothpicks (and if you
have your hair in a bun, you can stick them there when not in use!)

: reciept book - does anyone use a cashbox?If not what do you use?

I have a cashbox, but I really just use a little pouch, either
around my waist (one of those "kangaroo sacks") or one of the mini-
purse pouches with a long strap. It's much easier for me to access
money and change that way.

No receipts, never been asked for one.

: I'm going out with my husband tomorrow to get a table and 3 camp
: chairs and a cot(for doing backs & tummy work). Anyone suggest a
table
: thats sturdy & portable?

The cot is a nice idea, but the only problem is that the person on
the cot will be there for a while - while you henna them, and while
the henna dries enough that they can get up and leave. If you have a
lot of back and tummy requests, you're going to get backed up. When
I've worked with Catherine, the dog mats have been great! You can
line up a whole bunch of people for back/tummy henna, no problem. We
even had them on pavement at Ozzfest, with no problems.

I got some cheapo folding tables at CVS a few years back - they are
WAY too unstable. You definitely want something sturdy. Card tables
work great, and some of the camping tables are pretty well-made too.
I think I saw card tables for $35 someplace, including 4 folding
chairs.
