Today I wore bobby pins in my hair for the first time in forever. Normally I have these little 'blonde' bobby pins that blend into my hair but since I can't seem to keep track of them I had to dip into my "emergency bobby pin stash". 

These "emergency bobby pins" were from the dollar store; very stiff and coated in shiny black paint. I ended up taking them out half way through the day cause they hurt so badly. 

Turns out they have a good use though...they work wonders with India Ink. 

Its ironic because the wood is actually Oak. And while we are being honest its actually a flooring sample from Home Depot, and I'm 99% sure its not real wood.
