Emojis make texting fun. Whether you often abuse the emoji privilidge (guilty) or want to start using them more often, here are the best of the best, with advice on when to use them:
1. Hair Flip Emoji – As far as emojis go, this is the Beyoncé. This sassy brunette character is carefree and ready for anything. Not only is this emoji fun and fabulous, but its uses are endless. Drab conversation? Throw in the hairflip emoji to liven things up. Feeling flirty but don’t want to use the winky face just yet? Hairflip emoji. Use this emoji any/all the time.
2. “See No Evil” Monkey Emoji – This little guy is as fun to use as he is to look at. Like “Hairflip,” this monkey can be used quite frequently and is a great emoji to use when you’re being flirty, but still want to keep things light. This emoji’s cute smile and slight weirdness (Why is there a set of wise monkey emojis anyway?) allow it to act on its own as a conversation starter or finisher. There’s no way you’ll be a boring texter when this monkey’s involved.
3. LOL Emoji – This emoji is great when you receive a really funny text, but don’t want to get crazy with the haha’s or lol’s. The LOL emoji is basically a virtual mirror of your actions, and whoever you’re texting will love knowing how funny you think they are.
4. Glitter Emoji – This emoji’s equivalent is when Elle Woods hands her professor her pink resume and says, “And it’s scented! I think it gives it a little something extra, don’t you think?” because she sprayed it with perfume. When your text needs that little something extra, this emoji is the one to use. Virtual pixie dust!
5. Double Heart Emoji – The more the merrier! What good is one heart when you can send two? Especially when they’re pink. Like the glitter emoji, the double heart is the perfect addition to an otherwise just ok text. It takes it to the next level and sends a little bit of love.
