Hello, we are Farrah and Chrissy. We enjoy browsing Pinterest for life hacks, but sometimes we find a pin that makes us say, "WTF, will that even work?"
Basically, shit like this:
We decided to make it a VERY IMPORTANT MISSION to see if certain fashion hacks from Pinterest *actually* worked, so we set out to debunk the most popular ones.
Basically, with just a capful of baby shampoo, a lil' water, and some serious patience, you're supposed to be able to unshrink clothing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You'll need: baby shampoo.
Add a capful of baby shampoo to a sink filled with lukewarm water. Let it soak for a few minutes to ~loosen da fibers~, and then gently squeeze out without rinsing.
Then, lay the garment flat on a large towel and roll it up to soak up the extra moisture. Here's the hard part: You have to stretch the clothing back to its original size as it dries.
Disclaimer: It may take hours to dry. Sorry. WE NEVER SAID IT WAS EASY.
Here's how it turned out:
By just rubbing a crayon on a zipper, it's supposed to free it instantly. We have a jacket pocket that has been stuck since January, which is crazy-annoying, so don't let us down, Pinterest. We'd really like to have that dang pocket back.
You'll need: a crayon.
The directions were simple: Color the teeth on both sides with a crayon. That part was easy, despite getting crayon dust everywhere. We added a thick coat because we figured the more wax = the more easily the zipper would glide.
Buuuuuuuuuut that wasn't exactly the case:
We flipped the pocket inside out to assess the situation and saw the zipper was caught on the jacket material. We tried pulling the material out of the zipper and ALMOST BROKE A NAIL in the process. But when we tried again, VOILÀ. It was finally free!
Here's how it turned out:
Listen, we were pretty excited when we found this hack. We sweat through pores on our bodies because we are human, OK?! We have a ton of shirts that we avoid wearing because they're tight in the armpits and therefore, they end up absorbing all our sweat. (Sorry — our ~glistening body water~.)
You'll need: a panty liner for each underarm.
For this hack, you place a panty liner on the inside of the armpit part of the shirt. It went on easy and stuck to the shirt really well, but you can definitely tell you have something under your armpit (because obviously you do). However, it's not SUPER annoying.
PS: It's 85 degrees in LA today, so it's a good day for this experiment.
Here's how it turned out:
Apparently, if you tape your third and fourth toes together with tape, it'll alleviate any pain from high heels. We call B.S.
You'll need: nude medical tape.
Here's the entire hack: Tape your third and fourth toe together. That's it. You're done.
*shivers at the sight of feet*
Welp, we put on the heels, walked around for five minutes, and our feet IMMEDIATELY STARTING HURTING. This hack is 100% absolute trash.
(Get it? 'Cause it's in the trash? K bye.)
