Nothing makes an already-tacky kitchen look worse than horrible lighting. That harsh glow and sterile feel of fluorescents make your warm and inviting home feel like the operating room at a morgue. Remember this, If you can find it in a morgue, it definitely doesn't belong in your home's kitchen. Fluorescent lighting isn't just ugly, it's also horrible for your eyes, so do yourself a favor and remove them as soon as you possibly can. 

 

Fluorescent Lights

Not to mention,  you better be careful when replacing those ridiculous bulbs...unless you're in the mood for an explosion! The fact is fluorescents just don't belong in a home - they're terrible! Swap that dusty old office lighting out for a nice and modern fixture that still provides adequate lighting over your work areas. Whatever you do, just don't replace it with those dumb Edison bulbs. Get something nice for once!

  • Paris Hilton not only lives in a mansion, she also built a doghouse mansion for her Chihuahua. It's 300 square feet and includes air conditioning and heating.

  • When Rihanna debuted her famous red locks in 2010 (around the same time she was featured on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie"), she started a red-hair trend.

  • Jennifer Aniston's star-defining role on friends started a hair craze in the 90s that even lasted into the early 2000s. Called "The Rachel," Aniston's shoulder-length haircut had grown-out bangs and highlights styled to perfection. A hairdresser in Detroit noted that at the peak of its popularity, 40% of her business was devoted to recreating "The Rachel." Too bad that it was notoriously difficult to maintain on your own at home.
  • Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars.

She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
  • In February 2020, Jeff Bezos bought the most expensive property in California: a $165 million mansion.
