Hair Straightener
Im in the market for a new hair straightener. Anyone have a particular brand they love and why? I have a chi but the coating is coming off of the plates (NOT HAPPY !!!!! ) Other than that I love it to death.

Mac! ftw!
When I was a teen all I wanted was a leather studded belt like all the cool punk kids had. I never got one until I was about 18 because I couldn't find one that fit..

new uniform (pics)
I have been dreading purchasing a new uniform for work ($50+ for pants/shirt - and I need several sets) So I decided I wouldnt buy a unform until I fit an 18.
