Tampons, and Other Unnecessary Products

I try not to think about all of the needless products that humans have produced over the last hundred years or so, because it makes me angry. Especially women. I mean, wake up America! We are killing our planet. Sheesh. There's just no respect anymore. So I have compiled a list of five products that woman could do without in today's world. Enjoy!

1.) Deodorant

Oh God. It pains me to think that every morning people are mindlessly swiping this harmful product over their armpits. Do they realize how many chemicals are in this stick of white powder? And don't even get me started on antiperspirant! That being said, I do realize that guys are much more smelly, and obviously in much more need of this product than womenfolk. So I guess exceptions can be made. But us females? We always smell like flowers! No wonder it's so costly for women's deodorant vs. men's. We simply don't need it!

2.) Razors

It's no surprise that women's razors cost more than men's. And why shouldn't they? Women are born pretty much hairless. It's guys that need to worry about their body hair. Even though the lumberjack look is in, and guys pretty much do have an option in whether or not they want to shave and... hm, where was I going with this? Oh right! Women only have to shave their armpits and their legs if they want to be socially accepted. Guys on the other hand, are required to shave their.... oh. Actually, I'm not sure if they're required to shave anywhere. Still. Women's razors cost more than men's because they simply don't need to purchase one.


3.) Haircuts

Now, this one really does make sense! I'll definitely be able to convince you here. Who needs haircuts? Not women! Long hair is in, my friend. Men are the only ones who should go to the hair salon, if we really think about it. You'll thank me later! For obvious reasons, women pay more for haircuts than men. After all, men have short easy hair to deal with. Women always have long, flowing hair, that is just a mess to try to cut. Oh, what's that? Even girls with pixie cuts often pay more than men? Well. I uh. Just go to the next one!

4.) Cars

Public transportation is your friend. Even if you live in Kansas. I'm sure you'll be able to find a bus station near you. And it saves you pain and heartache. What woman would want to deal with a car salesman? After all, any car salesman worth his salt will charge a woman more for a car than a man. We just don't know cars well enough to tell the difference, and will unknowingly pay the jacked up prices. It's honestly a very smart technique. Good job car salesman. I applaud you.

5.) Tampons

Well, this one is obviously a no brainer. Guys don't even use tampons, or pads, or other feminine products. And neither should we! The price could be considered ridiculous, if we needed such items. But I'm here with groundbreaking news. We don't! Go put a leaf in your underpants. That's how they did it in the olden times, and things worked out so perfectly then.

I hoped I've opened someone's eyes today. Please, think extra carefully about what you truly need!

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…
