trend 1Trends. They are so tempting. But come on, we have to be honest with ourselves, we cannot always pull them off for one reason or another.

And many times, trends are not only passing, but they are too expensive and, well, unattractive, to waste money on in the first place. For instance, one trend in facial hair right now is to shave off or bleach one’s eyebrows. Uhm … why?
