Pluck pluck

There has been such big hype for Taylor Swift lately. Especially from those crazy fan girls ranging from ages 4 to 14. It's getting a bit ridiculous. I used to be obsessed with Taylor Swift. Her songs were pretty catchy. I guess I should say her songs are pretty catchy. It's just I find that I've lost all respect for her. It's not because of the fact that she did anything wrong like the usual Hollywood drinking and driving, crazy partying and whatnot. No, Taylor Swift is model citizen #1 (the press has done a good job trying to emphasize this). Then why have I lost respect for her? Because of Valentines Day (the movie). I cannot stand it when singers try to act. Music videos are one thing, but acting in a movie is another. Starring in a movie takes much more talent than is needed to be a singer. If you make music videos all you need to do is stare off into the distance, pretend to play guitar, run around on a beach with the opposite sex, and mouth the lyrics to your recorded song. So singers that think that they can turn into actors/actresses? They end up like Taylor Swift on Valentines Day. Epic Fail. I still love Taylor's songs, but I don't like her in general. I hope she can forgive me. On the other hand, I think that it's okay for actors/actresses to turn into singers. I don't know why they would do that because it's like a downgrade. Maybe they're tired of seeing their faces on screen. Oh well. Movie stars are talented people. Most of them are able to sing well it's just no one realizes that (i.e. Jennifer Aniston and her new musical; I didn't know she could sing well before I saw the preview).

Enough of me ranting, now let's get to the stuff that you guys may (or may not) be interested in (sorry to the guys out there). Tweezers! I've had this strange tweezer obsession for a while now. Every time I see tweezers in the cosmetic aisle I always feel a magnetic force that pushes me to buy them. Thus, I now have a collection of roughly 10 tweezers. Probably more. Do not be alarmed. My eyebrows are not that hairy. Anyway, I always thought that buying these sorts of things were trial and error. Only crazy people go around buying ten pairs of tweezers so that they can pluck their eyebrows whenever: in the car, on the toilet, you name it. Sorry, okay I'll try to be serious for a while. How are you supposed to know if your tweezers are good if you've never tried any other pair? Well, that's what I'm here for. After trying out most of the tweezers in convenience stores and Sephora I can tell you all that the one that works the best has to be Tweezerman. It's a bit more expensive (actually it's about double the cost, $22) than other brands, but it's well worth the money. It even gets out those hairs. You know, the ones that really don't want to come out no matter how many hours you spend picking at them. If you want a less expensive alternative then I suggest you use Revlon Expert or Revlon diamond grip. At six to seven dollars they do a good job of cleaning everything up. Of course those hairs will still be there to taunt you. Just make sure, if you're going to buy Revlon, do not buy their True Precision Tweezers. I thought that because they were more expensive than the Expert it would be amazing. I thought it had the ability to turn me into a chola (Mexican girl gangsters that pluck off all their eyebrow hairs and draw them in... what happens if it rains?) in three plucks. Unfortunately, this was not so. I ended up trying to pluck my eyebrows for an hour before I finally gave up. When I looked into the mirror I realized that I still looked like an Amazon woman. So unless bushy eyebrows are your thing, avoid at all costs.

Anyway, just a piece of advice. I spend the money so you guys don't have to. I figure if I'm going to be an idiot I might as well bring some benefit to this world. I'll do another one of these for earphones and headphones in the near future. Goodness knows I have over 30 of those.
