There are a lot of people who would love to get the latest look a celebrity has debuted. If you can’t, you might be able to create a look inspired by it. With a more ironic take on the idea, these people all took the time to hilariously recreate some iconic celebrity looks that have been showcased over the years.
Shoe Fashion
If you’re going out, you have to have the right shoes to complete your outfit. This celebrity went for some really decorated sandals to finish off this modeled look.

Shoe Fashion
Instead of fishing down the exact pair, this Instagram user, Emanuele Ferrari, was determined to make his own pair with things he already had around the house. In the end, it made for a hilarious rendition that wasn’t too far off.
Looks and Rides
When you’re going to a shoot to show off your outfit, you need the right scenery. For this model, that meant getting the right ride.

..8..
Looks and Rides
As for comedian Celeste Barber, she was ready with a ride of her own. We can guess that she probably saved money on this shoot using the toy car in question. It adds a lot of personality to the look, we have to say.
All in the Wig
When you want to imitate a celebrity’s look, you might want to put more into it than just the outfit. For instance, maybe you want their hairstyle too.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
All in the Wig
If you don’t have enough hair for it or don’t want to make a trip to the salon, a wig is a great way to temporarily have the look you want. What if you don’t have a wig? That’s one thing that this creator knew he had the answer to.
Funny Faces
You don’t have to smile for every picture you share. Sometimes, you want to show off a bit of variety on your Instagram feed.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Funny Faces
After Khloé Kardashian posted this funny face online, one Instagram user was ready to try the trend out herself. However, it seems like every funny face is a bit unique. We have to say the recreation is funnier than the original celebrity photo here.
It Looks Just the Same
If there’s one thing everyone needs, it’s a little black dress. You can’t go wrong with a long black gown either, though. This model knew that and it convinced this Instagram user to give it a try.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It Looks Just the Same
However, they didn’t have a high-fashion gown laying around. What they did have was a roll of trash bags and an imagination. The results are hilarious and pretty spot-on.
A Toast!
Celebrity outfits are often pushing the limits of what you think of when it comes to fashion. Most people veer away from shards of glass as a dress.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
A Toast!
On the red carpet, though, it’s a great way to attract attention – as Shakira shows off here. The recreation on the right might not look as exact as the photo on the left but it’s still hilariously accurate and also a great way to sneak a few toasty snacks on the red carpet.
Red as a Tomato
When you’re creating red carpet couture in your kitchen, you have to use what you’ve got. This means you have to get a bit creative from time to time.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Red as a Tomato
This red number that Blake Lively debuted happened to be as shiny as a cherry tomato. Luckily, that’s exactly what this Instagram user had laying around when they were putting this lookalike outfit together. Altogether, it’s not a bad parody of Lively’s detailed dress.
A Good Belted Dress
Back in the early 2000s, there were few outfits that weren’t complete without a thick belt, even if they served no functional purpose.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
A Good Belted Dress
This outfit was ready to bring the trend into the new age. It’s pretty brilliant to break up white lace with a futuristic, metallic belt. If you’re in a pinch and need a look for a party, though, a few doilies and some duct tape might help.
Stunning in Silver
Speaking of futuristic silver, there’s not just one outfit that’s used it over the years. This is another example of a way to use silver in fashion.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Stunning in Silver
In this look, the use of silver and fun shapes helps the dress stand out. It also makes it easy to make the jump to tin foil and takeout dishes to make a new version. They even remembered to accessorize the shoes or, in this case, socks.
A Realistic Look
If you look on Instagram, you can find plenty of celebrities and influencers sharing how they look “first thing in the morning.”
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
A Realistic Look
When you look at these pictures for more than a second, though, you might notice that these famous faces tend to wake up as airbrushed and styled as when they get ready to face the cameras throughout the day. This parody is a lot more honest.
Same Effect
There’s a chance that if you take the same picture as a celebrity without any editing, you might not look as glamorous as your inspiration.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Same Effect
After all, this photo is pretty airbrushed and the body type this model has isn’t average. That’s okay, if you don’t have a six-pack, a turtle is a great substitute. Not to mention, everyone loves photographing their pets!
We Can See the Inspiration
We have to say, the model in the first photo looks pretty glamorous. Still, her environment raises some questions.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We Can See the Inspiration
This Instagram user had a real point when they realized that it looked like she was posing in a giant bathtub. Without a massive tub at their disposal, they had to make do with a tub that at least looks a little deeper than average, although she still looks unimpressed.
Toilet Paper Fashion
You can find a bit of artistic inspiration in just about anything, and this person didn’t have to look any further than their hall closet.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Toilet Paper Fashion
Once he had his supplies, what was he supposed to do with them? Well, it seems like he got an idea from flipping through Cardi B’s latest looks. Plus, the toilet paper rolls really made up for the shape of the dress she wore.
Saving Time
It seems like a celebrity photoshoot can feature almost anything as a prop. In this one, Ruby Rose was shaving their arms, of all activities.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Saving Time
In the parody, the pose with the shaving razor and matching outfits is only part of what makes this so comedic. Really, one of the best things about this troll of a celebrity outfit is the shortcut she took on Rose’s iconic tattoos.
Making Do
Celebrities have the chance to invest a lot into their looks. The average person can’t pull out huge jewelry pieces and a crown like Rihanna can.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Making Do
This woman found a way to make it work, though. All it took was a little bit of plastic jewelry and a black marker for the ring. The glasses are a pretty nice touch in place of the headphones as well, and it’s all definitely enough to make us laugh.
Ready for the Oscars
Maggie Gyllenhaal is no stranger to events like the Oscars. This gown she sported one year definitely had a memorable look to it.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Ready for the Oscars
As beautiful as it is, we can see how it’d be easy to see a chance to parody the distinct dress shape and pieces of gold foil. All in all, this parody is clear but it’s not too far off from the original either!
Finding the Florist
A black romper is a great piece to have in your closet. Alone, it might not be enough to stand out on the runway, though.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Finding the Florist
When Cate Blanchett wanted to rock a black romper, she spiced it up with a bouquet to, quite literally, top it off. Given that she had a black romper of her own and access to a florist, the parody here was clear. This parody outfit doesn’t look quite as comfortable as Blanchett’s look.
We’ve All Seen This One
This isn’t necessarily a specific famous picture on its own. However, the pose is definitely iconic – if not cliche – on Instagram. This person wanted to recreate the memorable pose with someone they loved quite a bit.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We’ve All Seen This One
Their pet was at least semi-willing to play along with their antics for the photo, and the pair nailed the parody! We’re not sure the dog can walk far like this, though.
Why Pay for High Fashion?
So far, we’ve learned that a few rolls of toilet paper can look a bit more high-fashion than you might expect. Well, at least in the right hands, they can look like parodies from a fashion magazine.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Why Pay for High Fashion?
The top here is pretty specific but he managed to get the gist of it, without much trouble, using only one roll of toilet paper. But then, you have to keep the setting, of course.
Accessories Are Key
If you choose the best clothes possible for an outfit, that’s only part of the concept. This person had the hair down to boot!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Accessories Are Key
That’s not really what makes this parody so hilarious, is it? While Emma Watson’s bow works with the simple shirt, standing out on its own, the parody version is a bit more comedic. A hairdryer seems a bit harder to keep in place.
Anything for the Fans
The spiderweb-like bodice on this dress is easily meant to be the focal point of this dress. So, of course, that’s what became the subject of parody.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Anything for the Fans
Thanks to the dress being plain white otherwise, this parody was easy to pull off. As for the intricate designs on her chest, he just grabbed a couple of old desk fans to help him out. They look practically the same, right?
Are Those What We Think They Are?
Runway fashion often has pieces of design that seem impractical or stick out to people. This person noticed something familiar in this particular runway outfit.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Are Those What We Think They Are?
The best part is that she only had to run to the bathroom to find the supplies that she needed. Unlike a few other outfits we’ve seen, though, it wasn’t toilet paper she needed. While comedic, we have to say that the pads do create the same effect the original outfit has.
Interesting Inspiration
As we just said, not every runway outfit looks as practical as streetwear. Some of them are more about artistic creativity than actual wearability.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Interesting Inspiration
While this may have hit the runway, we’ve yet to see anyone trying this look in the office. Maybe this woman’s take on Instagram will get things off the ground. More likely, she’ll probably bring attention to how odd this silhouette is.
Fashion and a Healthy Snack
This celebrity was dripping in green jewels when someone snapped this picture of them. Finding the exact same jewelry could be a challenge and a bit of an expense.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Fashion and a Healthy Snack
This Instagram user found a way to get the same look without ever leaving the produce aisle. Much like the toast outfit shown, this jewelry seems like it’d make it easier to keep a healthy snack on hand.
Gaga Would Be Impressed
If there’s one celebrity that’s well-known for her ability to stand out on the red carpet and at awards shows, it’s none other than Lady Gaga.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Gaga Would Be Impressed
Her looks can seem nearly unreplicable. That is unless you have an eye for parodies and recreations as this guy does. While it might not be exact, we definitely get a laugh at the idea he’s going for with these kitchen supplies.
We Need a Chicken for This One
There are some photos that just need a prop to bring the whole thing together. If that’s not enough, maybe a co-star would help.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We Need a Chicken for This One
It’s not uncommon to see your favorite celebrity posing with a dog or cat. On the other hand, you don’t usually see quite as many chickens but Beyoncé made it happen. In return, this person made sure their own chicken got in on the action.
Making Ruffles
When you’re designing a showstopper piece in fashion, you can’t forget the effect of texture as well as color and design.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Making Ruffles
This celebrity was seemingly a fan of ruffles when they stepped onto the red carpet at this event in a fun number. What’s more fun than balloons? It seems like the fan’s brightly colored dress was just as ready for the red carpet, or at least close enough. She doesn’t look quite as pleased with this one, though.
That’s a Lot of Gymnastics
When you want to get the perfect shot, you have to experiment with different poses, and some are definitely harder than others. This model is making this seem like a breeze.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
That’s a Lot of Gymnastics
However, it’s a tough balancing act to keep yourself propped up like this. That’s one thing that it seems like this woman learned the hard way when she tried the pose out herself. It’s probably a much more realistic result, though.
After Reading the News
When you want to keep up with current events, grabbing a newspaper is a great way to start. What do you do when you’re done, though?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
After Reading the News
One designer found inspiration in this and made this dress with newspaper comics printed on some of the fabric. In lieu of this fabric, this Instagram user got his point across by making a paper copy of the same thing. Luckily, newspapers have a lot of pages!
Get the Zucchini!
When you want to stand out on the red carpet, you have to think outside the box. This dress definitely stands out from the standard gown.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Get the Zucchini!
As this Instagram user pointed out, you could see a bit of a similarity in the texture of the dress and the vegetables you just dropped into your produce drawer. Luckily, they come with bands around them to turn them into something wearable.
Just Lay’s Down
When you want a shot of you laying in nature, you need to make sure that you choose the right pattern on your clothes. Floral seems to fit pretty well.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Just Lay’s Down
It’s not the floral dress that caught the eye of the mind behind this parody, though. Rather, it seems like it was the ruffle on the torso of the dress. He has a point, it does look a bit like a pile of potato chips!
Leaving the Look On
When you get ready for bed each night, you probably have a routine to get ready. However, every once in a while, you’re so tired that you skip it.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Leaving the Look On
Kim Kardashian’s second-day makeup look here is a little more put together than most people who were just too exhausted to take their makeup off. We’re not so sure that it’d stay so well – the parody is probably a bit more realistic.
A Creative Take
There are a lot of things that designers do to make sure their celebrity clients stand out at these huge, photographed events they attend.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
A Creative Take
One way to stand out is to use an eye-catching material on the red carpet. Cara Delevigne definitely stood out in this dress that seems built for her. While most of us can’t whip up a dress that looks like metal, this person made do.
Kids Joining In
It seems like the adults aren’t the only ones who are great at recreating runway looks with a few things around the house – kids can join in too!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Kids Joining In
This nine-year-old took to Instagram to parody a few different looks, but this one really stood out. After all, now that it’s been pointed out, we can’t really unsee it. The trash bag and length of turf are pretty spot-on for this dress.
Carrying the Important Stuff
There are some celebrities that manage to make almost every look they wear stand out. Few eyes stray from Rihanna when she’s on the red carpet.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Carrying the Important Stuff
Of course, Rihanna didn’t forget a matching clutch with the gown either. When this person remade the look, they weren’t about to forego their accessories either. With a few apples and a jar of jam, they’re ready for a snack and the paparazzi.
One Man’s Trash
When you need to make an outfit look like the original, it’s all in the details. The same dress can look really different on two different people.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
One Man’s Trash
That’s why for this parody, this guy made sure to address the difference in hair. You know what they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Plus, this is probably a bit greener than a synthetic wig, right? Either way, it got a laugh out of us.
Rich in Lettuce
Big ruffles and layers seem to be popular on the red carpet. They also happen to be popular in your local grocery store too.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Rich in Lettuce
Since this dress was green, it was no problem to switch things up with a few heads of lettuce. Well, this seems like more than just a few heads of lettuce. We have to wonder exactly how much lettuce this took to recreate. The pot as a handbag is a nice touch.
Well, It’s Accurate
We suppose this a great dress to wear when you need an extra hand for the day. At the very least, it offers an extra glove.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Well, It’s Accurate
This parody is so close to the original, it only really points out some of the more unique designs in this outfit. Namely, the four extra hands on the skirt and shirt. All in all, they pretty successfully recreated Kylie Jenner’s look.
Just Household Items
This Instagram parody series seems to find a lot of uses for toilet paper. We have to say, we’re impressed with his creative eye.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Just Household Items
All in all, he managed to get the same vibe as Paris Hilton’s winter look here. He didn’t even have to call up any famous designers to get his version either. Honestly, he’s managed to nail the pose from the photo too.
All in the Scenery
Fashion and art intersect quite a bit. However, you don’t always see a dress as intricate as the one this celebrity has donned.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
All in the Scenery
As it turns out, even intricate designs can be recreated at home. That is if you’re willing to abandon all practicality and sacrifice the painting on your wall for the photoshoot. It seems like you couldn’t turn around in this copycat outfit, though.
Tom Lenk Joining the Party
If you were a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when it was on, you probably remember Tom Lenk as Andrew. The celebrity isn’t above parodying his peers, though.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Tom Lenk Joining the Party
There are some celebrities that have such a distinct sense of style that they’re hard to copy. While Celine Dion easily qualifies as one of these iconic famous faces, Lenk does a really good job of creating his rendition of this all-white look.
And Tom Lenk’s Dog!
We’ve all seen that people love to include their dogs in an Instagram post. As it turns out, Tom Lenk is no different!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And Tom Lenk’s Dog!
For this parody look, he made sure to pull his dog into the shoot. Rose Byrne’s look here works well and, we have to say, this pup does a pretty good job of rocking the look too. He’s even wearing the wig like such a good boy!
Modeling the Latest Trends
To be a model, you have to be flexible in the shoots you’re willing to do. Oddly enough, those shots may require some physical flexibility too.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Modeling the Latest Trends
This model surely had to really work to get into this pose. After all, they had to slide through the arm of the chair to pose. Not only is this already difficult, but this Instagram user also didn’t have a chair with quite as much space under the arms.
Not Quite as Fabulous
There are a lot of shots that models get that seem so effortless. Jessica Simpson looks really relaxed in the photo on the left. Maybe that’s because she remembered to roll up the window.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Not Quite as Fabulous
The parody image on the right went for a riskier approach that could give them some natural wind. In fact, it might have given a bit too much wind for such a serene and thoughtful shot.
Falling With Style
There are some shots that aren’t taken as a posed photograph but as an action shot instead. It takes a bit of discipline to not react to falling, though.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Falling With Style
Your natural instinct is to catch yourself, or at least react in fear when you feel yourself falling. We can’t blame this person for looking so frightened in their version of the picture!
40+ Gross Things Most Girls Have Done That Are Also Totally Normal
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Warning: Bad Habits Incoming
From peeing in the shower for convenience to smelling your own armpits to check for odor, we’ve compiled a list of gross habits that women still do on a daily basis. While some of these customs seem crazy, most also happen to be totally normal. Before you get too grossed out, please read below — you’re in for a comedic treat! Plus, chances are you’ll find a few familiar habits. Don’t worry, we’re not judging (too much).
Greasy Girl
This first confession isn’t even gross, just greasy. Then again, greasy can tip over into being gross very easily. Though, when life gets crazy busy, often our personal maintenance takes a backseat.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Greasy Girl
Yes, good hygiene is priority but so is work, assignments, child care, groceries… you get the point. So ladies, if you can’t remember the last time you washed your hair — put it up in a top know bun and give yourself a break!
Hamper Couture
It’s very common to have your top-pick clothing items. Though, as a result, you only end up wearing 1/3 of your closet. That’s all fine and dandy but what happens when those priority pieces pile up in the laundry hamper?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Hamper Couture
No problem — simply remove them from that pile and continue to wear them with pride until they start to reek. Then you’re left with two choices. Either bid your clothes a temporary farewell while they get washed or do the old perfume trick.
The Perfect Cover Up
Sometimes, life gets in the way and certain healthy habits fall away. For example, when you’re swamped with your job and working crazy hours, your social life and workout regime become compromised.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Perfect Cover-Up
With that, your self-care rituals start to diminish — and next thing you know — you’re looking and smelling like a hot mess. Luckily quick fixes like dry shampoo, perfume, and deodorant can help prolong your much-needed shower.
Feeling it Out
When we think about all the weird places we put our fingernails, it actually makes us want to wash our hands. From picking our noses to scratching our teeth, our poor nails are constantly put in the line of fire.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Feeling it Out
Then again, what else are we going to use to do all our inspecting with? Perhaps we should wear surgical gloves all day and that way we can keep our fingernails clean and hygienic. Plus, now that masks are the norm the gloves make more sense.
Yay for Laundry
Why is it that we wait until we no longer have clean clothes to finally do the laundry? Is it because we’re lazy? Too busy? Just silly? To be fair, it’s probably a combination of all three. We understand that people have to prioritize other daily commitments but we draw the line at underwear.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Yay for Laundry
You need clean panties and socks to start the day right. Clothing is a different ballgame. You can always wear sweats if it’s laundry day but there’s no substitute to your underwear.
Just Playing
Oftentimes we’ll have a zit, scab or cold sore on our face and instead of leaving it alone and applying the right ointments, we do the opposite. We pick, poke and prod the area of concern until we’ve made the problem worse.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Just Playing
No, it isn’t logical and yes, we shouldn’t do it but let’s be real, we’re never going to stop. We all get some kind of weird satisfaction out of it but then somehow get surprisingly upset when we look in the mirror to see what we’ve done.
What You Don’t See
We’ve already mentioned that you can get away with more when it comes to your underwear. When it comes to everyday bras, women generally look for the softest and most supportive/comfortable design.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
What You Don’t See
So, when you find that needle in a haystack, you never let it go. In other words, a good bra is hard to come by and we understand not wanting to take it off. However, come the end of the week, try to make a point of washing your trusty brassiere.
A Hot Mess
We often find that we start doing this bad habit when we’re stressed about something. While a stress ball would be a better solution, sadly we all usually just resort to nail-biting or picking. And it’s all fun and games until your hands are left looking like this.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
A Hot Mess
Believe it or not, the power lies with you… Try your very best to practice self-discipline and not destroy your pretty little nails. Better alternatives include freewriting, long walks in nature, or getting creative with arts and crafts.
A-Hole-in-One
When you love and adore an item of clothing, a few holes aren’t going to stop you from wearing it. Of course, if the garment is so old that it’s falling apart then maybe it’s time for a trip to the shops. However, until then you should hold onto your favorite undies.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
A-Hole-in-One
Why not? If they give you joy and you like wearing them, it’s not harming anyone! We know we’re sounding like preaches in favor of the old panties but that’s fine. In fact, it’s totally true!
Party Girl
There are two reasons for us forgetting to take off our makeup. Either we partied too hard and passed out before cleaning our face and teeth, or we were just too tired. Though both are bad excuses.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Party Girl
Not taking your makeup off always ends in zits. It’s inevitable! Instead of putting yourself through a few days of bad skin, always keep wet wipes next to you and try to get yourself to do a quick cleanse in the bathroom.
Let it Go
Truthfully, we don’t see anything wrong with this next one though we know that many people will disagree. We don’t mind being controversial — it’s the 21st century and it’s cool to stand with the less popular voters.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Let it Go
Also, if you’re enjoying a nice long shower and all of a sudden need to make a number one, it makes more sense to just stay in your warm surrounding and as they say in Frozen, “Let it go.”
Don’t Sit Down
Public toilets can be a health hazard so when it comes to using the bathroom, ladies have two options. Either you pad the seat with tons of toilet paper before sitting down, or you can hold your best squatting position. We stand by the latter decision. Get it?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Don’t Sit Down
Not only does squatting provide a mini workout for your legs and booty, but it’s also the safer option as you don’t ever touch the toilet. Good personal hygiene is so important, especially in these times.
Bad Breath Police
Often we can just expect to have bad breath. For example, first thing in the morning after waking up, or right after enjoying a smelly meal. Tuna or egg sandwiches are the most common reasons for bad breath. So, what do we do in these situations?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Bad Breath Police
Obviously brushing our teeth or using mouthwash will fix the problem efficiently but for some unbeknown reason to us, that’s not the first thing we do. People get a weird satisfaction from smelling their own breath to confirm it reeks before taking any action.
Getting Inventive
We love having a full head of hair but with our manes comes a lot of maintenance — not only to keep our hair clean and healthy but also to the objects and places affected by it. For example, cleaning the shower or bath drain after our hair has gone everywhere.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Getting Inventive
Another necessary habit to get into involves cleaning out your hairbrush. There are many ways to accomplish this, such as soaking the brush in hot water or using an old bobby pin to manually take out all the hairpieces.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
This next gross habit corresponds with the previous one. If we choose to avoid the gross procedure of cleaning up our shedding hair, then we are left in a compromised position. Instead, the problem just mounts up and results in a clogged drain or dirty-looking bathroom.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Long story short, keep cleaning after yourself as you go. You don’t want to have to stick your hands down the drain to remove a clump of hair. Chances are, you’ll throw up during the process.
Sentimental Value
We all start to grow attached to certain items in our wardrobe. Either because they have been with us for ages, or they happen to be of great quality. So, what do you do when those pieces no longer fit you perfectly? Sell, donate or keep?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Sentimental Value
All three options are viable but when it comes to our trusty bras, most of us choose to save them for a rainy day. Even though they no longer fit and have lost their shine, we still believe that they have worth to us.
Don’t Judge!
As gross as it sounds and feels to shave your toes, the alternative of leaving your toe hairs to grow is way worse. In fact, if our toe hair was visible, it would probably deter us from wanting to wear sandals or open-toed shoes.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Don’t Judge!
And why should our pretty summer shoes suffer because we’re embarrassed by our hairy toes? Rather buck up and carefully shave those bad boys off. Who’s with us?
Being Curious With Q-Tips
For some reason, we can experience this whole psychological shift when using Q-Tips. We start to believe that we’re some doctor who gives the medical green light to inspect our eardrums. There are a few issues with this pretense.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Being Curious With Q-Tips
Besides the obvious fact that we’re not actually professionals, if you don’t use that Q-Tip correctly, you’ll end up doing some damage. For example, you can achieve the opposite effect by pushing the wax further into your ear.
Quick Fix
We love a quick beauty hack. Something that’s cost-effective, timely, and offers an efficient result. From using concealer to hide our eye rings, to applying serum onto our dry-looking hair. But, what happens when beauty care and personal hygiene overlap?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Quick Fix
For example, what happens if you have no time to shower but still want to smell good? Well, obviously you use your beauty products to do the trick. Warning — the perfume hack has a time limit. Shower as soon as you can!
No Shower, No Problem
What to do when you don’t have the time or effort to shower seems to be a hot topic on this list. So, besides our recent suggestion of aggressively spraying perfume or deodorant, we have a more effective solution.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
No Shower, No Problem
Using a damp towel with soap to clean your armpits, intimate area, and feet is the next best thing after having a proper shower. So, it’s worth keeping a load of clean face cloths in your bathroom just in case.
What to Wear Today?
Yes, self-care is important and we are fierce advocates but with that being said, life happens and it can get in the way of our rituals. If you happen to be behind on your shaving habits, don’t stress because that’s where clothing comes into play.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
What to Wear Today?
If you really want to wear a certain dress or skirt but your legs are not in their most maintained state, just grab a pair of nylon tights from your cupboard and you’re all sorted!
Risky Business
Believe it or not, makeup is a nondurable consumer good. This means that the product should be used within a short period of time. And if you decide to keep this good for longer than recommended, it becomes a safety hazard.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Risky Business
Basically, over time bacteria will start to mount up and this can cause your skin to badly breakout or experience infections. If you know better, then there’s no point in continuing this gross habit. Rather buy less expensive makeup and switch it out more regularly.
Picking and Pulling
We know this next habit is particularly strange but our job is to talk about these gross habits. Have you ever found yourself totally fascinated over discovering a random long hair on your body? In other words, finding that outlier that just stands out from the rest.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Picking and Pulling
This big guy can be found anywhere on our body from our legs and toes to our chin or even eyebrows. And while we know the ill fate of it, we do tend to weirdly admire the hair before extracting it.
Let’s Recycle
Obviously disposable razors are non-durable while reusable razors are meant to last you ages. With the latter investment, the razor handle has a detachable blade so that you can refill when needed — though many admit to not doing this.

Let’s Recycle
We have some advice for all you non-disposable razor-users. If you want to keep reusing them, then simply clean the razor by placing the head in a bowl of Johnson’s baby oil. The oil soaks up the water and as a result, the blade won’t rust.
Been There, Done That!
Whether it’s Marmite, peanut butter, or Nutella, sometimes we all get a craving for a good spread. Though, when we have these sudden urges, we tend to be gross about it. Who needs to it on a piece of bread or cracker when all we actually want is the spread?

Been There, Done That!
Yes, we have all shamefully eaten our favorite spread from the jar with a teaspoon. Oftentimes, this habit comes late at night or after being inebriated. We can’t say we’re proud of this habit but we’re going to be honest and own it.
Sharing Is Caring
Okay, no! We do not condone sharing toothbrushes with anyone. Aside from the fact that it’s absolutely gross, it’s also a lot riskier than just swapping spit with someone. Did you know you could be sharing blood, too?

Sharing Is Caring
Basically, brushing too abruptly can lead to bleedy gums and if you’re sharing your toothbrush, you’re potentially exposing yourself or your friend to bloodstream diseases. Definitely not worth it!
Exceptions to the Rule
We have the five-second rule in place for a reason. And that reason consists of beloved chocolates and cheese. We know it’s a random combo but who doesn’t like a little rich and creamy treat?

Exceptions to the Rule
Even when you accidentally drop your favorite snack on the floor, you compromise your safety for that delicious bite. In this case, it’s probably better to just be ignorant about the kind of bacteria you’re coming into contact with.
Best for Last
We all know why we shouldn’t bite our nails. It looks gross, it tastes just as bad and it even damages your gums and cuticles. Yet, with all that rather frightening information in mind, we continue on.

Best for Last
We know it’s very hard to overcome a bad habit but with a bit of desire, perseverance, and hard work, anything can be accomplished. So, buy yourself a bottle of no-bite nail polish and squeeze your stress ball because you’ve got this!
Straight Up
Why is cheese the exception to the rules? Whether it be eating your mature cheddar after dropping it on the floor, or enjoying it straight from the packet — when it comes to our cheesy cravings, we somehow are helpless.

Also, have you ever eaten grated cheese out the packet as if you were eating potato chips? Yes, we’ve been there as well. No, we can’t explain it using logic. We blame the state of being ‘hangry.’
Don’t Blush Now
Like every other product on the shelf, your makeup requires a good spring clean from time to time. In fact, according to experts, we should be washing our makeup brushes every day. Since that’s realistically not going to happen, it should at least be done weekly.

Don’t Blush Now
Many of you are probably blushing with embarrassment right now (get it?), because you’re realizing how far behind you are on this chore. Listen, ladies — it’s never too late to fix a bad habit. Try starting now!
Partying it Up
We all have those crazy nights where we get to bed far too late to care about washing our face. We can excuse this if it happens infrequently. However, we can’t condone not cleaning your face for a whole weekend. That is just troublesome.

Partying it Up
Your skin will activate its revenge plan by breaking out in zits. That’s sadly what happens when you let bacteria build up and clog your pores. Remember girls, be nice to your skin and you’ll glow — reject it and you’ll pay!
Popping Bubbles
Chewing gum is undoubtedly a bad habit. However, there are plenty worse ones such as drinking in excess or being glued to your phone. While it would be safer to condemn the act of gum chewing, we offer a realistic solution.

Popping Bubbles
Practice this habit in moderation. Allow yourself a piece of gum as a reward for doing a small task. Otherwise, if you need to fidget to distract yourself from boredom, nerves, or stress, simply drink water. Now, that’s a healthy habit!
Pajama Party Continued
With the everlasting struggle of the pandemic, working from home has become the new norm. With this lifestyle change, so too have people’s wardrobes for obvious reasons. A funny common occurrence for online meetings today is to get half-dressed.

Pajama Party Continued
Meaning that you’ve got your business look on top for your bosses to see and then your old granny PJ bottoms below the surface. While we’re totally on board with this dress style, we do think it’s best to change your pajamas every second day or so.
Priority Panties
Okay, this next one is truthfully pretty nasty. But, we want to play devil’s advocate again. When it comes to choosing your underwear, that’s a very private matter. Similar to writing in a diary, it’s not for everyone to see.

Priority Panties
With that being said, being hygienic is important. We don’t mind old and stained undies but we have to draw the line at dirty ones. And yes in case you’re wondering, we’re now the official panty police.
Free the Pits
We’re all for freeing yourself of having to constantly shave. It’s a hassle and it also really sucks when you cut yourself with the blade. So, we’re happy to delay the armpit-shaving process but that doesn’t mean to say we’re going to be proud of each growing hair.

Free the Pits
We come in peace when we say there are cooler things to admire on our bodies. For example, have you ever analyzed your belly button? It’s such an interesting feature.
Scratch and Sniff
Humans are tactile beings. In order to better understand our surroundings, we like to smell and feel things. So, the same rule is applied when it comes to our bodies. After all, there’s nothing like a good scratch.

Scratch and Sniff
Whether it be picking your nose for treasures or scratching your head for inspection. Though, we wouldn’t go as far as to smell that discovery. Those of you who do, we’re sorry to say but that’s gross!
Digging for Gold
It’s easy for our pores to get clogged up. That’s why it’s important for us to take daily care of our skin. However, we all get lazy from time to time, and then the inevitable ends up happening – zits!

And while we all love to hate them, we also all love to play with them. Perhaps this weird satisfaction is similar to our younger self who enjoyed dissecting and examining everything. We could be totally wrong but we humans really are curious beings.
An Unwanted Visitor
This unwanted visitor is the direct consequence of not cleaning up your hair after your daily showers. While we mentioned it earlier, actually seeing this clogged drain might provide you with the shock factor needed to ensure you never get to this point again.

An Unwanted Visitor
Let’s be real, nobody wants to be the person who has to remove all that old and gross hair from the drain. So, let’s just clean up as we go? We know that we sound like parents here but hey, someone’s gotta set the record straight.
Clean That Up
Dirt-picking out of one’s nails is just like nose-picking, it’s an extremely gross habit that we’ve all done. Some overtly do these unattractive actions while others wait until they’re alone to attend to their ‘business.’

Clean That Up
Let’s make 2022 the year that we stop this bad habit. And if it does give you satisfaction then rather invest in a cheap nail cleaning tool that gets the job done better and more efficiently.
Keeping Warm
During the winter months, we can all be a bit lax on our grooming routines. While many men and women prefer to shave, wax or laser their legs for sports or personal preference, we can become too cold to care.

Keeping Warm
While having prickly legs is not desirable, there are some weird perks. For example, the leg hair adds an extra layer of warmth and sometimes it’s enjoyable to stroke your newly fuzzy situation. What are your thoughts on this one?
Gunk Is Gross
Pore strips… We’re so on the fence with this adhesive. On the one hand, the strips aren’t very dangerous and can’t cause more damage but on the other hand, sensitive skin can react badly. Our gut is leaning towards saying no to this ‘zit zapper.’

Gunk Is Gross
Just look at the photo on the right – gross, right? And the photo on the left isn’t much better. We think it’s best to clean your face the old-fashioned way or to rather seek a professional beauty treatment.
