Our friends at The Frisky wrote this article about tears in the dressing room. Some were tears of happiness, some of sadness and some were just down right random. And while I’ve never had a breakdown about a pseudo celebrity death (really, you should read it), this article resonated with me.

What is about dressing rooms?

I remember once in high school I spent a long day shopping with my mom. With no real agenda, we wandered from store to store just to pass time on an uneventful sunny Saturday afternoon. I spotted this killer mini dress from bcbg that had a long line of buttons up the back. I slid into the dressing room and tried it on.

Sometime in between taking the dress off the hanger and sliding it on, it happened. The waterworks started flowing. Likely a combination of the impossible to unbutton row of mini buttons, a pushy sales associate, and needing to go up a size, but it was that exact moment that the stress of college applications, a varsity sports team and just generally being a teenage girl decided to hit me. Lovely.

Here are six other situations that might leave even the strongest of us a little teary eyed:

1. You Gained the Freshman 5, 15, or 50:  No matter your size, extra weight gain from college ranks pretty high up there among the list of most upsetting things.

2. You Lost the Freshman 5, 15, or 50: And you’ve never looked hotter in that skintight dress. Tears. Of. Joy.

Guys aren’t the only ones afraid of commitment.

Ladies can be just as commitment-phobic as the hottie who is “just not ready for a relationship.”

Terms like “final sale,” “no samples” and “the tester is missing” are as terrifying to us ladies as hooking up with only one girl is to a guy.

Would you want to be stuck with a pair of jeans that looked great in the fitting room mirror but turned out, after closer home inspection, to be all in the lighting? Damn clothing-store fluorescent lighting.

And don’t we all wish we could try a beauty regimen before committing to it? (Note: importance of free samples and testers!)

Nothing is worse than full bottles of “instantly longer” locks shampoo and “miracle magic” hair treatments taking up the already limited space in your medicine cabinet.

Rather then pull your hair out in frustration, take yourself to Sephora where you will find Ojon’s five-piece “Try Me” Hair Ritual Kit: a complete hair-restoration ritual from native Tawira of Central America’s tropical rainforest, known as “the people of beautiful hair.”

Yes, it is another hair treatment, but this one works, trust us, and you can try it out before committing to a lifetime supply. Read More »
