Reply to: Stuff You Like That No One Else Does by Billina
I'm 23 years old, and I like:

Antiques Roadshow. If it's on, I'm there. I'd love to be able to own some of the stuff these people have. Unfortunately, I'm poor.

My hair up rather than down, which seems to mostly still be in vogue. I'm not talking those messy ballerina buns on the top of the head-I just think I look better with it pulled back and off my face.

Only wearing mascara. Screw eyeliner and eyeshadow-they get in my eyes and irritate them. I can't stand foundation, it feels like a mask. And as someone with a naturally ruddy complexion, I don't need blush.

Basic black tea, like Earl Grey. I hate how tea-drinking has become this snobby thing, with all these super-expensive blends that you can buy from Republic of Tea or Teavana. I'm not dropping $30-$50 on two varieties of tea. That's crazy talk.

My favorite flowers are lilacs. It makes me happy every time I see them, and they smell wonderful. I don't like the new ever-blooming varieties that hybridizing flower companies have come up with-lilacs are so beautiful to me partially because they're only here for a brief while. I wish more people had old-fashioned lilac bushes in their yards.
