Remember that classic scene in Grease when Jan sings, "Brusha, brusha, brusha. Knock out decay germs fast!" in her most perfect beaver-esque voice?

Remember that episode of Sex and the City when Carrie gets an enormous pimple on the train ride to San Francisco? Ugh, I felt for her. Since adult acne is definitely not high on my list of Martha Stewart-style "good things," I rely on antiblemish products and oil-free creams to help keep the bumps at bay.

My mom was never really too strict. Ho-Hos and "pop" in the lunchbox? Cookie Crisp for breakfast?

The term "cheap perfume" doesn't exactly have positive connotations. But just because it might cost less, does that mean a fragrance should be discredited? Nope — there are plenty of good ones lumped into the inexpensive category.

Back in ancient Egyptian times, it was common practice for people to remove hair over their entire bodies to prevent fleas, lice, and parasites from sticking around. Makes sense to me. Fast forward to current times, and it's mostly about aesthetics or social values.

It's said that eyeliner was used on the eyes of Ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians, who applied black lines for practical purposes (keeping sun out of eyes) and aesthetic effects (à la Cleopatra). Fast forward to modern times, and eyeliner is still rocking it, with just a few more shades than kohl black.
This leads me to the Beauty Mark It challenge.

Taking the extra five to ten minutes (OK, hour) to let a facial mask work its magic is one of life's simple pleasures for me. Except, I swear that the doorbell always rings during the process. "That's all right ma'am," said the UPS delivery guy, as I apologized for my most recent goopy green face application.
