15 Things That Are Naturally Better Together, Just Like You & Your Sister

by Jasmine Vaughn-Hall

No one ever really plans to have a sister. That was all our parents, but we can't deny how instantly gratifying it is to build and maintain a relationship with her. It definitely makes you think about all of the other things that are better together, just like the two of you.

Your relationship with your sister is unmatched, but what about those other gems in life we unknowingly always pair together, because it seems like they were simply meant for each other? From food to clothes, the universe has somehow discreetly made it so that these natural pairings #bless our lives over and over again. And no matter how much we try to deny it, these things are absolutely incomplete without each other.

Maybe we don't know the actual origins of these pairings all began, but we have no problem practicing the "traditions." A lot like our relationship with our sister, we don't get to choose when the journey begins. We simply strap in when the time is right, and enjoy every second of the ride. So, if you find yourself naturally pairing those dynamic duos in life, chances are, the lists is endless, but some are universally, undeniably way better together than they are apart.

01Hot Cocoa And Marshmallows

Hot cocoa and marshmallows is one of the best, warmest concoctions you could ever grace your tastebuds with. Just like you and your sister, they're two gems that pair perfectly together. The world is basically a better place with this beverage, amiright?

02Peanut Butter And Jelly

Alright, we're taking it back old school with this duo. Whether this was your lunch or after school snack, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich seemingly put the world on pause and let you enjoy. The ingredients are so simple, it almost doesn't seem fair that it's that extraordinarily delicious.

03Ice Cream And Sprinkles

Chocolate, rainbow, or both, I think we can all agree that sprinkles complete any scoop of ice cream. We are here for the add-ons, and one spoonful is never really enough. I mean, would you only want a spoonful of your sis?

04Chokers And Tube Tops

Ladies, we slay this look like it's no one's business. There's something about our collar bones that makes us look so elegant. The choker is just an edgy yet glamorous addition.

05Converse And High Socks

The trend of Converse with high socks goes way back. Even if you prefer the high top Chuck Taylors, tubes socks always seem to go the best with them. One without the other is like rain without water; it doesn't exist.

06S'mores And Campfires

Making s'mores by a good campfire is the basis of so many nostalgic memories. Even if you set up shop in your backyard with your fire pit, it still counts. Shoot, you're probably humming a campfire song right about now.

07Sugar And Kool-Aid

It doesn't matter how you came across Kool-Aid, it was refreshing as hell as a kid. Despite the fact that some of us put boatloads of sugar in it, it was seriously incomplete without that sweet touch. Once the Kool-Aid was pulled out though, that meant turn up time (aka, dart to the park because the sugar rush was kicking in).

08Macaroni And Cheese

Oh, macaroni and cheese. Whoever mistakenly dropped a block of cheese in their piping hot macaroni and just went with it, we are so grateful for you. OK, maybe that's not how it happened, but you can't say you never thought about it.

09Sundays And Brunch

Brunch on Sundays for us who are 21 and up can be so incredibly relaxing. Those mimosas are the little push we need to triumphantly face Monday the next day. Brunch and Sundays are seriously #RelationshipGoals.

10Cereal And Milk

Everyone has their cereal and milk preference, but there's no denying that they inevitably have them together. Waking up to find that you have one and not the other is pretty devastating. Honestly, it's enough to ruin a grown a** person's day.

11 The Moonwalk And Michael Jackson

First off, rest in peace to the King of Pop. For the kids growing up without him around, chances are, the moonwalk will be the first thing they know about Michael Jackson.

12Bacon And Eggs

Alright, bacon has practically been combined with just about everything these days, but its true love is eggs. The smell of bacon in the morning with the thought of fluffy eggs to accompany is any foodie's perfect start to the day. Food is so freaking influential, and we could spend the entire day discussing the versatility of eggs.

13Netflix And Chill

This specific phrase started to catch on because it was such a natural thing to say. Even if it took you hours to finally decide on that documentary to watch, you were chilling while doing it. The phrase caught on like wildfire.

14Tuesdays And Tacos

Tuesday isn't even part of the weekend, and yet one food item can make it feel like it's already Saturday night. Tacos come in all different textures and styles, and we're here for every combo. If you're eating them on a Tuesday, the rest of the week is a piece of cake.

15RuPaul And Drag

RuPaul is the drag queen of all drag queens. Everything about this slay game is so amazing. I can't even imagine how euphoric life must be when you can effortlessly slay lashes like that on the regular.

When all is said and done, the relationship with your sister is one of the most organic and natural friendships you'll ever experience. We may not know exactly why opposites attract, but we're more than happy that they do.
