I decided when I was 18 that if someone didn't like me just because of my style choices, their friendship wasn't worth having anyway. Best choice ever. I wear what I want and I'm not ashamed of it anymore, so unlike those horrible teenage years.

Giving up smoking - turns out I had an almost grey layer on top of my own skin :-s
Growning my eyebrows out. Overplucking made me look permanently surprised. Took me a year to get them back to normal!
Quitting smoking.
That is a great attitude to have, and you did well to reach it at 18. Being a teenager is hard -- fitting in makes such a difference at that age. But it is definitely true that if a person is really a friend they don't give a hoot how you dress or style yourself, beyond giving some constructive advice if it's genuinely needed (e.g. "Did you realise that everybody can see your knickers from behind in that skirt?" type stuff).
My best one lately has been parting my hair on the opposite side. Why didn't I think of this sooner?

Amina calls me Grammie.
OOh i must try that too, where's me comb?
Lately, I said "no" to eyeliner.
It's so cold, the darn thing melts on my face, leaving black tear trace (so unfashionable.. if you're not Emo)
I use gray shadow instead.. it works fine.
..so, that's mine.
"Lord,
If I can't be skinny, please make my friends look fat". :D
Definately switching all my beauty products to as natural/organic as possible the only product I have never been able to switch is Revlon Colourstay... It's the one foundation that doesn't make my pale skin orange and it lasts all day... at least theres only one questionable ingredients product left right?...![]()

Cutting myself a fringe/bangs again, (thanks Shebear). I have grown out my fringe, done some lovely forties style hairdo''s, but basically it doesn't suit me. So i'm back with a sixtes style long fringe for the mo', till i get my stylist to do the Betty bangs for me. Since i have gone back to bangs, i have had a ton of compliments about my hair, plus it certainly is easier with this inclement weather to make myself look and feel decent every morning.
I think the moral of this story is to stick with what suits you. Plus i have had some fun with wearing and sporting some early sixties style hair and clothes, which has given me a bit of a lift, a change is as good as a rest and all that!
