Ladies,
I'm about to share some valuable information with you. It's the kind of thing you should share with your friends because they could benefit from it as well.
Duck lips. Not the actual bill(beak) of a duck but the face that everybody loves to hate. For the few of you that have been living under a rock (errr bolder - even the rock people would have to know about this) duck lips are created by making your mouth look like it's doing a sort of pout/kiss face. Typically it is used while snapping photos of oneself or in a group photo with friends but a few women seem to have master the art of 24/7 duck lips (or maybe that's just what implants look like??) Either way the face that everybody loves to hate has become a photo standard for facebook/twitter/dating website profile pictures everywhere. And it's time to find out why.
I'm not sure who was the mastermind behind the lips but they did not do anyone a favor in creating the look. I'm told that forcing your lips into this unnatural position makes it seem like you have sexy, big pouty lips. But let's be real here for just a minute. There is nothing sexy about attempting to imitate a duck. In the end it just looks awkward/uncomfortable and well, ridiculous.
If sexy/big pouty lips are what you're going for buy yourself a lip plumping gloss. Or learn how to apply lipstick/stain/gloss in a way that accentuates your lips. Just avoid the duck lips and people everywhere will thank you.

Public Service Announcement
To my fellow public transit users:
It has recently come to my attention that a few of you may not think that deodorant is an essential step in the getting ready routine. I am writing today to remind you that it most certainly is. There is nothing worse than ending your long shift at work with a bus ride to the commuter lot. While the bus ride itself isn't terrible, the up close and personal situations it creates make for a rather interesting 10-20 minutes of your life. Nothing says let's be friends quite like finding your body smashed up against someone else's while you both hang on for dear life. Take today for an example, full bus (not an open seat in sight and the aisle was already crowded) by some miracle I managed to find a spot near the front where I was able to hang onto a low bar (no arms up bus riding for this girl). As I grabbed the hand rail and positioned my bags I felt someone bump into me. I turned my head only to come face to face with an armpit. Sadly the person standing smack dab next to me had opted to hang onto the overhead bar and as the bus took off I found myself standing there with an armpit in my face and a cloud of body odor stench killing the air quality all around me. Longest bus ride to date.
So the next time you're getting ready for your work/school day. Pause and take a moment to make sure you are indeed wearing your deodorant. If not for me do it for your fellow commuter because it's the right thing to do.
