I want to
Pierce my nose and dye a strip of the underside of my hair bright orange. I also want a tattoo but I know that’s way too expensive.
Tattoo expense all depends.
This is what happens when your sister misreads the cookie dough ingredients and puts in 1/2 a cup of baking powder, as opposed to 1/2 teaspoon…. It is basically the grossest looking thing. She wanted to make a cookie pizza, but that didn’t work out well.
This looks SO disgusting!!
SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL ME WHAT KIND OF DOG THIS IS.
Kill me with cuteness.
I’m thinking Pomeranian puppy!!
