Web Watch has said it before, about how beauty shops and cosmetics are trying to kill you:

Okay, you can’t actually die from having herpes. Well, maybe die from embarassment… but that’s a completely different subject for a different day.

Let’s cut right to the chase: there are plenty of chemicals that are are part of various cosmetics and beauty products that you may not be aware are in there. Here’s a list of the MOST UNWANTED INGREDIENTS IN PERSONAL CARE/BEAUTY PRODUCTS:

If you’ve been wondering what Web Watch’s next tweet would be, we can tell you that — at the time of this writing — it was most likely going to be something like one of the following:

Compared to Find out these apply to keep their STD Awareness Month says: OK GO’s Damian Kulash on
The Football Fan’s Guide to Roustabout says: The Platypus Song Christmas Trends to Get Ahead in 16!
Seven must-have kitchen gadgets, and you HAVE to Mouseworks to dislike Lady Gaga? Gays.
The 15 Biggest Box Office Holiday Party says: Ever wonder what the day: Sexy People!

How to be a Man: A Guide to Style and Behavior for the Modern Gentleman

If you have read DETAILS or GQ magazines over the past few years, you’ve probably seen the Style column written by Glenn O’Brien.

You may mock the recommendation for this book or others like it that have variations of “for the Modern Man” in the title, but you’ll find that if you pick them up and give them a quick glance, you’ll find at least a dozen helpful hints and suggestions hidden among all the things that you may feel don’t apply to you.

In other words, go out and get it. And frankly, any of these books make great gifts to your favorite nephew or younger cousin just about to enter high school or college. Might even get them set into the right direction as they’re about to head off into adulthood.

Many years ago, Web Watch told you about a girl who figured out that it was mathematically possible to FOLD A SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER OVER ON ITSELF 12 TIMES.

The long-held reasoning was that it was physically impossible to fold a piece of paper in half more than eight times, but Britney Gallivan proved that paper could be folded over 12 times.

Everything Tastes Better with Bacon: 70 Fabulous Recipes for Every Meal of the Day

Web Watch is a big bacon fan.

If you haven’t done so already, browse through your local yellow pages (remember that?) or go to your local farmer’s market and get yourself some fresh bacon directly from a porketeria or butcher. You’ll save some money, appreciate what bacon that is unadulterated by chemicals is like, and support the local economy – all at the same time.

So with that, here are at least SEVEN BACON-INFUSED PRODUCTS THAT BACON LOVERS JUST HAVE TO TRY:
