Viva La Boracay!

I have been lucky to have been able to avail my company sponsored vacation. It was short but I had a wonderful time (if only I didn't miss my kid so much).


So in the short 3-day vacation, here are the things I did:


1) Snorkeling

2) Island hopping

3) Swimming


4) Sunbathing

5) Barhopping

6) Boat riding

7) Shopping

8) Walking around the beach

9) Watching the sunset

10) Taking shots of everything around me

11) More swimming

12) Trying so much not to fret miss being online

13) I had a tattoo done on me (okay, it's just a henna tattoo)

Sounds like a great time. Plenty of water fun! Will that effect the tattoo?

What is a vacation? It is a something I've not had in soooo long!

The worst thing about living in a community considered one of the top resorts of the west is you don't go anywhere. This is where everyone comes.

Hi there,

I'm a health reporter for msnbc.com, and I stumbled across your blog while I was researching a story on "henna hazards."

Dermatologists are saying they're increasingly treating people with skin reactions from a harmful chemical in some henna tattoos.

The allergic reaction causes your skin to redden, swell and blister, but only where your henna tattoo is. So, essentially, you're left with a big swirly, flowery BLISTER. In some cases, it's even bad enough to permanently scar or darken the skin!

I'd love to get your take on these freaky skin reactions. Ever experienced any itchiness or redness from a henna tattoo? Or, if not, after knowing this about the potential crazy reaction, would you get a henna tattoo again?

If you're interested, e-mail me at melissa.dahl@msnbc.com and we'll set up a time to chat over the phone.

Thanks so much!
