If it's broke ... we'll let you know.

Let's face it: it's a hot mess out there. You can't walk into someone's home, a mall, a restaurant -- you name it -- without spotting something (or, let's be frank, someone) that doesn't look right. Maybe it's cheap. Maybe it's old (but not in a charming way). Maybe it doesn't function the way it should. Maybe it's something that can be improved with such little effort that you can't understand why someone hasn't fixed it yet and you wish you could slap it.

That's why we started Certified Janky: to slap our seal of Janky approval on anything we come across that triggers our Jank-dar. We've wasted far too many hours discussing the less-than-fine things in life not to share our observations. 

And if you're so out of touch that you don't even know what "janky" means, well, that's pretty janked. Take it from us, your experts in Jankitude: the word applies to all things unacceptable. It's as simple as that. Use it, love it, honor it.

Hugs 'n' kisses,
Sylvia and M. White

P.S. Eager to give something the Janky Stamp? Leave a comment. We'll discuss your idea and if we feel it meets our Janky Criteria (which we'll publish soon), we'll share your brilliant find.
