Ok, so I had to share/steal Amber from Beauty Blogging Junkie's recent post, Advice I'd give to my high school self. Hilarious. She's 29, so she graduated in 1998. Graduating in 1999, I'm right there with her. #1 especially...I was so TRAGIC in high school with my skater-punk-Gwen-Stefani wanna be attempts at clothing, makeup, and hair. In fact, it took me all the way through college to get an ounce of decent beauty and clothing sense. I would post a pic but a) I don't have any electronic at the moment and b) I'm not going to demean myself like that.
Advice to my high school self?
1. Do not cut your hair above your chin. Twice. Trust me.
2. Your jeans do not need to cover your shoes.
3. Don't get your hair cut in M'ville (see #1). And haircuts cost a lot to be good, so pony up the cash.
4. Invest in a cleansing routine BEFORE college and stick with it. And I'm not talking Clean and Clear, hon, I'm talking Clinique. Yes it's expensive...there's a reason.
5. CK One is not the only perfume on the planet. And stop buying your boyfriend Drakkar Noir.
6. You're going to marry the boyfriend at the end of high school, and you know it. So be sweet to him.
7. Buying numerous pairs of Doc Martens will not make you cool like the kids in London. No matter what you think.
8. You can lay out til you can't lay out anymore. You will not be tan...it's your fate. Now get that SPF 30 out.
9. Wet Seal is really not the best store in the mall. Neither is Hot Topic.
10. You wear a size small. Not a large (or worse, XL). This is along the same lines as #2...it's amazing what clothes that fit can actually do for you.
Advice for your high school self? And thanks to Amber for the great idea, I can't take credit. She really has an awesome blog...so check her out!
This is awesome! I may have to do it! ha hilaious
