I skipped day 18… did you notice? Hahaha

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives...
If this could be a fictional person. Elizabeth Bennet! Cheesy I know, but I’d probably do anything to be a part of a love story like that. I always thought that I was one of those, wanna meet some guy and fall in love and have a family kind of girls. I love chick flicks and anything with a romantic plot line, so it makes sense.

Marketed as the perfect gift for the person that has it all! And starting at 199.99. If they were half as expensive, they’d probably be twice as cool.
