Fake Eyelashes!

Why?

Well...

• They make your eyes look super big!
• They make your eyelashes look super voluminous! 
• And they're really useful for dance recitals!

Tacky Christmas Lights!

Why?

• They sit there and ruin the effect of the snow.
• Most of the time, they have fake snow in them which just doesn't make sense.
• A lot of the tackier ones don't even light up!

Accents. Any kind of accent, we love accents.

Why?

Well, we just do, and if you don't agree, we don't have three reasons why you should...But they're still on our Top Ten!

Acne. Any kind of acne, we hate acne.

Why?

(Yes, we do have three reasons for this one.)

• There's really no point in having acne, it just appears there randomly.
• It makes you feel extra ugly, usually in the times when you're ALREADY doubting yourself.
• Sometimes it leaves scars!!! 

(Those extra exclamation points were for Amber ;)

So...

UP WITH ACCENTS!

and...

DOWN WITH ACNE!

HOORAH!

• And they're easy to make!

Below is a recipe for our favorite exfoliating scrub-

* moisturize afterwards

Random Piercings!

We are not talking about your every day ear lobe piercings. We are talking about the crazy up the ear, in the neck piercings.  And yes, I, Amber have really seen someone with a stud piercing stuck in their neck. It was utterly revolting. But the girl had nice hair!
