The great mysteries of life
There are things in life that remain mysteries till today, huge riddles that will probably always be. The Loch Ness monster, whether Bigfoot exists and the story behind Stonehenge, but also mysteries closer to home that we’d oh so love to solve.
1. The sock mystery
The old classic, how do socks always manage to disappear? Two go in the washing machine and one comes out. Or three, that’s also happened. But never the same amount that went in and after a month, you’ve lost half of your socks.
2. The shampoo mystery
You wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. You probably use the same brand and they usually come in similar bottles. Contents I mean. HOW is it possible that the conditioner is ALWAYS finished quicker than the shampoo? Seriously, how? Sometimes the other way round, that the shampoo is finished first, but never at the same time.
3. Every shower delivers a new hairstyle
This one surprises me time and time again, but maybe it’s just me, every time I get out from the shower I end up with a new hairstyle. As in, my hair falls differently each and every time I take a shower. I showered in a different shower for a month during the renovation on my house and also if I stay over somewhere, and every time it’s a surprise as to what kind of hair I’m going to start my day with. Also if I’m in a different country. My hair almost always looks bad in New York, but much better in London and Paris.
4. Bad mascara days
Bad hair days are a well known phenomenon, but I also quite often suffer from bad mascara days. It won’t go on right even though I apply my mascara the same way every day. I’ve been blessed with fairly long lashes but the downside is that it takes a while to get them looking well mascara’d and bad mascara days are terribly unhandy.
5. Why do I have bruises?
Sometimes a wild night can turn out to be a bit too wild, but sometimes I wake up in the morning and have the biggest blue bruise from nowhere. The real mystery is why these things always appear where they are visible, and then usually at a moment when you’re going to be wearing something that shows your legs or you’re going to be going bare legged for some other vavavoom reason and would prefer not to be covered in bruises.
6. Vanishing tampons
Tampons are always all over the place and seem to fall out at embarrassing moments, especially from your bag. But when you actually need them because it’s that time of the month, you cannot seem to find one. There are things that you always see lying around the house that you don’t need, until you do need them and it seems as if they have all suddenly fallen off the face of the earth. Tampons are top of this list. Little fuckers.
7. Good times
I often experience looking at my telephone and seeing the time 12:34. Or 11:11, 12:12, 13:13 or some other Illuminati type thing. Or I look at my phone at least 4 times in every week to see that it is 18:06, my birth date. Coincidence? I don’t think so. There are high powers at work.
