• Keeping a lock of hair from a baby’s first haircut will bring it good luck.

• When you get a haircut, you must burn the hair. Throwing it away brings bad luck.

• Beware… don’t pull that gray hair! Pull it & 3 more will grow in its place.

• And we’ve all heard of this one… break a mirror & you’ll get 7 years bad luck.

• Brushing your hair in the morning seems like a pretty simple task. I mean, what harm could come from that? Oh but wait, better hold on to it tightly! Drop your brush or you will experience disappointment in the near future.

• Tanning… Some believe it’s “a must” in order to look good? Hmmm, I wonder if your skin agrees?

• Apparently only the strongest & bravest of individuals can handle “the dreaded hear” of a strong massage. Are you strong enough?

• Are you currently experiencing one of those painful little red annoyances known as… PIMPLES? Well, they say if you find one on your chin, someone is crushing on you. Hmm… a secret admirer? At least there is one positive to those pesky little bumps!

How do you feel about today… Are you superstitious? Happy Friday the 13th! ?
