Hello, Michelle. How are you?
Hi, Aubrey. I'm good. How are you? How was your weekend?
Amazing. I have fun news. Okay. I'm going to show everybody. If you're watching on YouTube at home, you'll be able to see this. And if not, we'll have Michelle describe it. I got a tattoo. Oh my God.
Okay. So sleeve. Oh my gosh. Aubrey. So it was funny because when we were talking earlier, I was like, there was one moment where I was like, did I just see something? And then, and then no.
you know we said i'm tired i don't know like so but i oh my gosh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa does it that's beautiful i love it so this is a real wait you gotta know it's henna tattoo it's henna on the video it's hard to tell right so yeah henna but it is a full sleeve of henna tattoos So you can come and look at it on YouTube if you are listening on the podcast later. I am obsessed. And OK, here's the story really quickly. I was at my daughter's birthday party and a woman had a full sleeve of tattoos that I loved. They were so beautiful. And I was telling her, I'm like, I love your tattoos. I've always wanted a sleeve like that. And she was like, why haven't you done it? I said, I don't know. I just never have.
I don't love needles. And I told her, now I'm too old. And she was like, yeah, I got mine when I was young. And I was like, that's not, you're supposed to say you're not too old. Right, right, right. And then she was like, why don't you just get a henna tattoo? She's like, then it's not needles. She's like, you could just get a full sleeve of henna. And I was like, I've never thought about that. We'll do henna tattoos for our kids sometimes on the beach in Rocky Point. Artists will come by and offer and they'll get like a little tattoo on their arm or whatever. But I've never gotten one. I've just never even thought about it. And I especially hadn't thought about getting a whole sleeve. And so I like looked at her and I was like, I'm going to go do that right now.
And I left. And I called another mom to pick our kids up from the birthday party. And I went to a henna shop. And for the next three hours, I was there getting this henna tattoo.
And it was so fun. I was going to ask how long it takes. Well, it's beautiful.
And at first, it's very dark before the ink flakes off. So I got home and my husband saw it. And it looks more like a real tattoo when it's really dark before the ink flakes off. And he was like flabbergasted, just like, Oh, because I've never even really talked about getting a tattoo. It's not something that would be on his radar. So that was fun. And so I shocked you and I shocked him and maybe everybody listening at home, everybody on YouTube might also be shocked.
Wait, so how long will it last?
A couple weeks. They said if you don't get really hot water on it and keep it out of direct sunlight, it should last two weeks.
