Rings and Things
Going someplace and not sure what jewelry is right for you? This or That will help you choose.
NECKLACES: Necklaces are inconspicuous but can sometimes add the perfect touches to an outfit of any kind. In some sports, they can get stuck around your neck, however, and might choke you, and are sometimes not fancy enough alone for extremely formal events.
BRACELETS: People notice bracelets a bit more than they notice necklaces: for one thing, they look at your wrists more often. Bracelets can sometimes be too much in a simple outfit, and can be easy to lose in some cases.
EARRINGS: Earrings are perfect for formal events. They are easy to change, fancy, and come in every style and color you could possibly imagine. They are the most commonly found jewelry at fancy parties and events because they can fall out sometimes if you are moving too much.
RINGS (on fingers): Rings are, like necklaces, are inconspicuous. However, they are not harmful and normally stay on snugly, so they work in some sports.
Other types of rings (i.e. nose-rings, eyebrow-rings, etc.) are not appropriate at all for most parties, are very dangerous (they could fall out like earrings), and I personally find them gross.
Whatever you choose to wear to your party, I hope you have a good time and that nothing falls out. I'm glad This or That could help!

Bad Hair Day
Got a place to go and not sure how to wear your hair? No worries, This or That is on the scene!
PONYTAIL: Ponytails are great, especially if you're the sporty type. However, they may not be appropriate for very special and fancy events.
PIGTAILS: Pigtails are also good for sports but are a little fancier than ponytails. I still wouldn't recommend them for very fancy events.
HEADBANDS: Normally with headbands you keep your hair down underneath, making them adequate for some events.
FANCIER HAIRSTYLES: These styles, too numerous to list here, are great for fancy parties. Often they are hard to do and sometimes delicate but they're perfect during events. Often they involve braids tied back.
Whichever style you choose for your event, I hope it's a success. Have fun at the party!

Happy Holidays
There are plenty of holidays in the year, but which is your favorite? For help deciding on your new favorite holiday, or just to find out about the strong points of the holiday coming up, look no further! This or That is on the job!
CHRISTMAS and related holidays: Christmas is a favorite holiday for many, mainly because of its many gifts and family gatherings. It offers a break from school or work, and lots of cool meals and activities.
EASTER and related holidays: Easter, like Christmas, provides a relaxing break, and sometimes presents. But there is always, most definetely, candy!!!
FOURTH OF JULY and other independence holidays: The Fourth of July provides fireworks and lots of good-weather picnics. Maybe it's not my favorite holiday, but it's certainly not my least favorite.
MINOR HOLIDAYS such as Labor Day, Veteran's Day, etc.: These holidays are usually good for one reason: they provide a day off for a mini-vacation or a get-together with someone special. Other than this, there's nothing particularly special about these holidays, except for occaisional parades or parties.
THANKSGIVING: Thanksgiving is nice for a few reasons. It gives you an excuse to eat turkey and pumpkin pie, see family, and skip school or work for a few days. Also, it provides the perfect (kind of) day for shopping (Black Friday).
HALLOWEEN: Halloween has a few good aspects, especially candy. It's also nice to create or even buy your own costume once a year.
Whatever your favorite holiday is, I hope you enjoy it and the holidays to come!

I Can't See...
Got a choice between glasses and contact lenses but not sure which to pick? This or That can help with event this crisis!
GLASSES: Glasses are easy to take on and off and come in many varieties. However, they are very easy to lose, and this can be a problem for some people. Also, you can forget to bring them with you, causing a big problem at times. They might sometimes be in the way in pictures and might be hard to manage all the time.
CONTACT LENSES: Contact lenses, or contacts, for short, are hard to lose and invisible. Some cons of contacts, however are that they can fog up in your eyes or might cause allergic reactions to some people. Contacts are also hard to take on and off, and this can be a good thing or a bad thing. You might have to wear glasses over contacts, but only for short periods of time. Also, contacts are hard to lose except when you don't have them on, which will only be at home.
Some people don't have an option for contacts, often because they are too young or may have an allergic reaction to them. To those people, find a pair of glasses that fits your personality, and make the best of the situation.
Contacts can be found, not often, in colors that change your eye color, but these are for movie stars and celebrities or people in costume, not for everyday life. If you're looking for more variety, try glasses.
I hope This or That has helped you with your spectacle decison, and that you don't lose your glasses. Good luck with your new responsibility!
