Luxury department stores are always going to sell genuine items since they have a reputation to uphold. The staff should be knowledgeable when you question them about the pedigree and quality of the bag. And while the bags in these stores may be expensive, you're paying for lifelong quality. Ask trusted fashionistas you know where they purchase their designer bags from. They'll know about the good stores. Ask if there are any certificates of authenticity accompanying the bag. Designer labels don't authorize street vendors to sell designer bags on the street, so those bags are all knock-offs and fakes. It would be a rare find for somebody to sell their old designer bag at a flea market. They're far more likely to be selling a fake. Know all you can about designer bags if you're purchasing from estate sales, thrift stores, or online auction sites. Designer bags cost a lot of money because they are well-crafted and they're status symbols. If the price is too good to be true, then the bag's a fake. If you want to buy a legal knock-off, don't pay too much for it. Ask the vendor if the bag is real, a copy, or a fake. Sellers who avoid answering questions have something to hide. If you find that you've purchased a fake designer bag online or from an unofficial vendor, there's unfortunately not a lot you can do about it. The only exception is if you bought the bag on eBay. Ask for a refund from the seller first, and if the seller doesn't respond, file a claim with eBay. eBay will respond within 48 hours and give you a full refund. eBay has a strict policy against selling counterfeit merchandise.

summary: Go to a brand-name store for designer bags. Avoid flea markets and street vendors. Be realistic about the price of a real designer bag. Get a refund if you bought the bag on eBay.

Whenever you get a piercing, it is important to let a licensed professional piercer do it. They are trained in proper techniques, safety, and sanitation to ensure that your new piercing is placed properly and heals well. If you are trying to keep your new piercing a secret, you need to be mindful about when you get it done. There will be a healing timeframe during which your tongue may swell significantly which can noticeably alter how you sound when you talk. Try to plan your piercing during a time when you can avoid people for at least a few days to give yourself time to heal. Make sure you follow all instructions given to you by the piercer for care of your new piercing. Failure to do so could result in infection or a prolonged healing time, which would make your situation and your pierced tongue more noticeable to those around you.

summary: Get your tongue pierced by a professional. Schedule your piercing appointment appropriately. Care for your piercing properly.

Toothpaste should already be a standard part of your medicine cabinet and morning routine. Designed to be abrasive, toothpaste can fix a plastic scratch the same way it cleans teeth. Because it is home-based and shouldn't require additional purchases, toothpaste is the recommended remedy for fixing plastic scratches. It's important to make sure the toothpaste is an actual paste, as opposed to a gel-based toothpaste. In order for the scratch to work, the toothpaste needs to be abrasive. Check your toothpaste box if you're unsure about the kind of toothpaste you are using. A baking soda mixture has the same abrasive qualities as toothpaste. If you'd rather use baking soda, you can stir up a paste and use it in the same manner.
summary: Have toothpaste at the ready.
