Henna Tattoos and Polaroid Pictures

So yeah, when I was at Epcot last time I really wanted to get a henna tattoo, but my parents said it was a waste cause you can get it anywhere... Yeah right! We looked all over and couldn't find anything. Then we eventually looked up henna places in Orlando and found a shop that sells a lot of different Indian things. It's called Beachcombers Bazaar and it is pretty cool! I went there just to get a Henna kit but ended up leaving with some of their really pretty glass bangles. I got 20 of the for $10, not bad right? They are soo pretty but get glitter everywhere, at least right now cause they are new. They sell some other cool stuff too and they ship pretty much anywhere I think.


These are the glass bangles


This is the henna kit I got. It came with 2 premixed hennas in a cone and tube, a pack of powder henna, a bottle with a few tips, transfer paper, transfer paper activator, a design book, and mehndi oil.


So I bought the henna last Friday but I couldn't do it then cause I had a photo shoot thing for Senior pictures and stuff. It went ugh... But whatever. After that I was able to do a couple tattoos. Here is sort of the process and stuff.

The first pic is of me doing my tattoo and the second is after it was taken off, it has gotten even darker since. The second row is before and after of Jen's hello kitty tattoo on her inner wrist.


The first pic is of me and Jen's wraps, we do that so the henna doesn't all crack off before it stains the skin. The second pic is Ashley's anklet, then the one on my inner wrist, and finally my mom's bracelet.


So that was fun, the tattoos are pretty good for my first time I think! But moving on to something else, Jennifer showed me a really cool program called Poladroid. You download it and then drag a pic from your computer onto the camera and it makes the photo into a Polaroid. I love it cause I miss having Polaroids, they were soo cool. Here are the three I did so far, that I liked enough to keep.


This one was a pic I took in the Grand Floridian hotel at Disney.


Me and two of my cousins' feet when we went parasailing at Daytona.


This was our our parachute. These two Daytona ones weren't much different because the originals already had an aged look but it did enhance it.

  1. It's funny because I have been contemplating whether or not I want to get henna tattoos~ I live near India town and they have so many shops there.

    Poladroid makes the pictures look so vintage, I'm going to try it. O:

    Just randomly found your blog by the way, I love the style though, its very unique for a blogspot. I'll keep reading~ :D
