		<title>Can I bleach henna out of my hair?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The answer is, it depends. And are you sure you really want to?
I discovered henna for hair when I lived in San Francisco. If you read my earlier blog entries, you&#8217;ll discover my love affair firsthand.

		<title>E-mail Snafoo</title>

		<title>Henna on Eyebrows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So a few people have asked about henna on eyebrows. I actually rememberd to take photos of the results the last time I did it.   It took me a few tries to perfect it &#8212; you really need to take care to keep water from lightening it up too much for the best [...]

		<title>Glitter!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer festivals and some leaky glitter poofers have reintroduced me to the joy of sparkles!

I like having glitter poofers for festivals because it breaks up the monotony of eight hours of squirting green goop on people. It gives me a reason not to hate my less favorite festival designs (because who can dislike glitter?). I [...]

		<title>Paste consistency, and pretty cones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m experimenting with different henna recipes to get a consistently good consistency for doing designs &#8212; not so dry that it immediately cracks, not so sugary that the design flattens out and bleeds like a bad batch of cookies, not so thin that it just dribbles down the skin.
Last night I mixed the following recipe:

		<title>Happy New Year!</title>

Today things were extremely slow at work because all of our clients skipped out early for the three-day weekend, so we had nothing to do. I had a couple old cones and lemons in the fridge there, and some [...]
