So my fellow editors have posted articles before about different things that annoy them so I thought I would give it a go too. I’m not saying I have an endless list, but there are a few daily things that I just have to jot down for you. Beauty wise of course, I’m staying in my genre.

Shaking a bottle thinking there is still a bit left of whatever you need in there, only to realize it is pretty much empty. And I’m saying pretty much because it isn’t entirely empty. A third of body lotion or conditioner somehow always manages to remain at the bottom of the bottle and you just can’t get it out. Useless.

It’s hard to live without them. Toilet paper just really isn’t an option cause it is far from useful when you’re trying to take off your makeup. It just doesn’t work. However, cotton pads have a way of always magically disappearing into thin air. I can never use just one and I’ll easily finish an entire package in a week. I’ve even heard girls say they’ll go so far as to grab dirty cotton pads out of the trash to remove their last bit of mascara. What is happening to the world?

Toothbrushes and toothpaste is a whole other ball game. Somehow you always manage to get toothpaste next to your brush, rather than on, turning your sink into a blob of white smear. And the toothbrush, guys. I always leave it in a clean cup yet someone after a week, the bottom of the cup is filled with filth and has such a horrible stench.

Finding hair in your brush is rather gross. Especially when they aren’t removed and kept in there until you’re hardly able to yank them out. More importantly: it’s bad for the hair you still have on your head! A clean brush means shiny and healthy hair, keep that in mind. Another hair related annoyance: hair in your shower drain. My boyfriend and I have scheduled a it’s-your-turn-to-clean-the-drain-agenda cause no way are all those hairs mine.

See point 1. You see a perfume bottle or some kind of spray and as you’re trying to spray, nothing comes out. Cause the little atomizer doesn’t reach the bottom of the bottle. Or when you want to apply mascara and you still see a bit of it on the brush but it just won’t curl and color your lashes. Finit finit finit.

Another one of those annoying things. Why isn’t there some sort of string attaching the cap to the tube? I somehow always manage to loose the caps and then I’m left with open tubes. Very clumsy, and unhandy since then the expiration date no longer applies. Plus it’s just downright dirty. I recently had a wedding and I was carrying around a CC cream in my purse without a cap. So long to the expensive cream because it had leaked entirely into my purse. Dirty purse. Dirty hands. You get the picture.

Oils oils oils. Where to begin. Oils are great, but they are always packaged in bottles that are terribly unhandy. When you want to squeeze or pour something out, you don’t just get a drop. No, you get an entire splash of oil. And oil is quick to spread. Result: slippery floor, slippery hand, everything is slippery.

And there you have it. Another list of annoying first world problems.
