Indulge? Skip dessert? Go back for seconds? Guilt? It’s lip balm. It’s not a treat. It’s lip balm, people! I wish the ad would just talk about what a fun product it is for protecting/softening your lips, but spare us the clichéd rhetoric that we’re somehow bad for eating a freaking cupcake instead of exuberantly licking flavored wax off of our lips and going back for more. Beauty product advertising is gross. Totally.

Paint nail polish onto the “private areas” of your children’s toys to keep an unclothed Barbie “modest”. The creator of this pin came up with this idea because some of her friends’ children were not allowed to play with her own children’s naked Barbies. Great solution, but it gives me pause when someone is offended by a piece of plastic…which many of you must be, because this pin is super popular in a non-snarky way. Yes, I’m judging you.

P.S. If my Barbies hadn’t been naked 99% of the time, maybe I wouldn’t have made them have sex with each other, my GI Joes and Star Wars figures. Just think how lackluster my life might have been!
