Good Idea, Bad Idea

These are some tips I've picked up, some I learned the hard way:

Good Idea: Using Icy Hot after a strenuous workout session.
Bad Idea: Mixing up the tube of Icy Hot with a tube of anything else.


Good Idea: Plucking stray eyebrows.
Bad Idea: Over-plucking eyebrows. They are very sensitive and if they feel you don't want them there, they will never come back. EVER.


Good Idea: Buying products suited to your hair type/skin type.
Bad Idea: Forgetting where you put them.


Good Idea: Cleaning with bleach and/or vinegar to get a deep clean.
Bad Idea: Doing your cleaning while wearing clothes you want to wear in public ever again and without rubber gloves.


Good Idea: Relaxing while reading a good book.
Bad Idea: Reading right before bed when you just can't put the book down. You'll finish in record time but lose sleep and dream about the book (anyone else having Hunger Games dreams? No? Just me, then?)


Good Idea: Going outside and lounging to enjoy the gorgeous weather while wearing SPF 30+.
Bad Idea: Falling asleep and getting a really, really uneven tan.


Good Idea: Playing Wii Fit.
Bad Idea: Playing Wii Fit when your pets are being needy and you have little kids running around. You don't get extra points for trying to concentrate amid the chaos; the trainer will think you have the balance of someone with a stomach virus and an inner-ear infection and you will have a very low score.


Good Idea: Sleeping on your back so you don't add wrinkles to your face by smashing your face into your pillow.
Bad Idea: Sleeping on your back while a pet sleeps on your face.


Good Idea: Vacuuming.
Bad Idea: Vacuuming when you're missing an earring or assembling a puzzle with a LOT of pieces.


Good Idea: Painting your nails red to add a pop of color and some spice to your look.
Bad Idea: Failing to fix mistakes. People will think you were just in a horrible fight.


Good Idea: Exfoliating in the shower with a mixture of cornmeal and honey, then soaping up and rinsing as usual.
Bad Idea: Doing the above when you have an ant problem.
