We ended up deciding to binge watch 'What We Do in the Shadows' after ten minutes of first browsing and arguing.
We got out our usual snacks; pizza, popcorn, ice cream, candy, soda. You know, healthy stuff. Since we were having the girl's nights at Leto's this month, she was in charge of the food as well as the beauty products.
She had apparently decided to go with an herbal theme, mostly lavender, with some lavender and honey products as well. The nail polishes were different shades of purple, yellow and gold to stick with the theme.
Once the first episode started we started with our toes first, soaking them in foot tubs with lavender before we got to work. I chose a wine colored and a pale lilac color so I could create a colorful version of French nails, while Leto painted hers toes a pale lavender. She painted over them with a deep indigo to create what looked like a henna design.
We waited for our nails to dry as we caught up with anything we might have missed with each other lately. By the time we finished with the top coats and they were dry, we were caught up on the latest episode.
"Hair next," Leto asked. I nodded in reply, blowing on my nails just in case. "What were you thinking?"
"Chestnut with auburn highlights maybe? and a leave-in conditioner. What do you think, do you think I'll look good with my complexion?"
"Of course you will Leila! That's a great idea," she exclaimed with a grin as she waved her hands around to ensure they were completely dry.
"What were you thinking?"
"I'm going to dye mine black with chocolate highlights and use some leave-in conditioner when I'm done. You know what dye does to my hair if I don't baby it."
"Tell me about it," I groaned. "I'd hate to go all Medusa on you like last year! That was awful! I'm mildly impressed my hair didn't just fall out. Anyways, do you want me to get the stuff?"
"Yeah, thanks! Once we're done with that we can have some pizza and soda!"
I headed to her bathroom and grabbed everything we would need, along with several old towels. "What do you want to watch next," I asked her as I came back into the living room.
"How about we watch some Harry Potter movies?"
"Yes," I groaned out in agreement. "I completely missed my calling," I joked.
We quickly scanned through the movies and started with "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone." I got out the chestnut dye and applied it to my hair while Leto used her blue-black dye.
Half an hour into the movie, the timer we had set up before went off and I paused the movie. "We should apply highlights before we take a quick shower," I said.
"Great! Why don't you pop some popcorn in the popcorn maker. You can add whatever you want, you always have great taste with cooking," she said happily as she carefully removed her towel.
"Sure! Are you looking for any particular flavors?"
"Something salty and savory sounds delicious," she said, rubbing her hands in excitement. I laughed at that; It was so cute how she got excited whenever I made the simplest things. I shooed her off to the bathroom and headed towards the kitchen having finished applying the highlights.
I washed my hands thoroughly, then put on new gloves again just in case. I'm guessing that hair dye would not be wanted here.
I grabbed the popcorn machine, a large bowl, olive oil, feta cheese, oregano, basil and black pepper setting them all on the nearest counter with an outlet. Humming a random tune to myself, I put some kernels in there and turned on the machine, waiting.
Soon it was popped and I added all of the items except the olive oil, mixing them. I added the olive oil next, making sure to shake it thoroughly as I added so it wouldn't get soggy. I put it in the microwave for ten seconds and was done.
Leto had finished by then and was calling to order our usual pizza while I finished. The timer for my hair went off and I made my way to the bathroom, taking the conditioner with me. I was done in less than ten minutes, back in the living room with my new hairdo.
"Close your eyes and hide, you know the drill!"
I came around the corner and entered the living room once more.
"3...2...1..."
we whipped off our towels, eyes widening at the same time.
