Disclaimer: I am not a certified piercer, however I feel my experience as someone who's been stabbed with the needle enough is valuable... Somewhat. As of writing this, I've had 8 piercings over the past few years. All but 1 are still lodged in various places. I've had the usual useless dangly bits done; both earlobes, 2 oral piercings with different jewelry each time, cartilage, eyebrow, and one through the nipple.

The Eyes Have It
Audrey Hepburn once described her eyes as "the doorway to her heart" —vintage Hollywood had some of the best and most clever uses for eye makeup. The tips and techniques used by old Hollywood actresses are some you'd probably never think to use today. For example, Lucille Ball recommended putting castor oil on your eyelashes to make them thick and glossy, and Bette Davis used petroleum jelly under her eyes to prevent puffiness and/or bags. Vintage Hollywood eye makeup and techniques have since evolved, but below are a few genius yet simple rules that I think are vital to daily makeup routines.

Treat Beauty Giant Lip Balms
Treat Beauty makes lip balms that are three times larger than standard lip balms. These giant-sized lip balms last longer and are easier to locate in your purse or backpack.

The 90s were a very good time to grow up. I, myself, was a 90s kid. When I was young, I got to see the start of the boom of the internet as well as some of the last "teen classic" years that are so commonly illustrated in the 80s movies of yore.
