How To Be A Party Girl

Hey guys, it's Hanna.

I like to party and I am not ashamed to admit it. I guess that you could call me a party girl! Here are a few tips on how to be one.

Party girls just want to have fun. Yet they also don't want stalkers or creepy perverts chasing them around either. Just how do you find the perfect balance between shaking your booty and keeping your dignity as a fun-loving, sunshine-sharing party girl? It's possible––just remember that your dignity needs to be your number one priority, then you can add in plenty of fun.

♀ Find your confidence. A party girl will enjoy partying most when she's self-confident and happy with how she comes across to other people. This does not mean that you need to be America's next top model by a long shot. It does mean that you need to groom well, dress in sympathy with the assets you have got without degrading yourself and knowing how to remain poised and assertive in all your interactions with others. Think that's hard? it's not––confidence is a learned skill.

♀ ind the right party. A fun-loving party girl will be discriminating about which parties she chooses to go to. Not all of them are ideal occasions for enjoying yourself and it's recommended that you avoid those dependent on drugs for their purpose, are nothing but drink-fests or those that contain a disproportionate amount of ex-friends and exes. And definitely avoid anything that has a reputation for ending up every time in a brawl.

♀ Arrive fashionably late: ten to twenty minutes or so is ideal, so that you interrupt those already gathered and cause them to look, without being so late that everyone is too invested in their own conversations and dancing.

♀ Learn how to introduce yourself properly and how to greet people. People want to be made to feel special, and good introduction skills are the best place to start working on this. Always show people you're listening attentively to them, use their name frequently to show you value them as an equal and remember the small details to ask them about next time you meet. They'll be lapping you up.

♀ Become accomplished at small talk. A party is definitely not just about turning up. It's about interacting with people and keeping the social conversation wheels well lubricated. If you're good at this, you'll win over the party attendees every time.

♀ Know how to hold your booze. A social drink is fine; a social drunk is not. Being a party girl is not, contrary to airhead advice, about slamming down drinks and thinking you're funny. Not only are hangovers not pretty, a drunk party girl is embarrassing and memorable for all the wrong reasons. It's the least classy way to be a party girl and the sooner you realize this, the better for your enjoyment. And remember, everyone has a camera these days––and they use them. Make sure the shots they get are all worthy.

♀ Network. Make yourself the indispensable go-to girl for news, information, shared friends and help. Exchange numbers and business cards. Love all the people you connect with in equal abundance but only get close to those you know you can trust and who mean something special to you.

♀ Be kind to the bartenders, party/event hosts and others in charge. Not only will these people be responsible for preparing your fancy mocktails and letting you into the venue, they'll be good allies in helping you meet more people and stay in touch with the "people who matter."

♀ Avoid getting intimately involved with a string of anybodies. Anybody can have anybody. You're not anybody and nobody should be left in doubt about your virtues. Be socially available and friendly with everyone without being intimately available. Here are some rules for the image-aware party girl:
01. Do not ever make out with friends' dates. Neither funny nor forgiveable.
02. Avoid the bad boys. They will ruin your party girl status in the blink of an eye. You have the party girl status because you're untouchable, elusive and cool. Stay in charge.
03. Never get drunk to build up the courage to find someone. Your drunk self has extremely poor taste and isn't likely to be caring about your personal safety or dignity.
04. If you already have a boyfriend, don't ruin things by making out with someone else. Party girls do go steady, so be proud that you've found someone special and stay faithful. Remember the cameras... they're everywhere.

♀ Dance. If you can't dance, watch the others and copy them. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Just let the music move you and keep your movements minimal until you feel more confident. If you're already a great dancer, weave lots of dancing into your party nights out. Dancing is liberating, energizing and a good excuse to work around the floor and connect with many people. And dance with your girlfriends, men friends, whoever seems like they could do with a dance; don't restrict yourself. When the slow dances come on later in the night, politely excuse yourself unless you've really met that someone special; you don't want to give anyone of either gender the wrong idea.

♀ Leave with grace so that everyone feels special and sense the loss when you've gone. Be sure to say goodbye to everyone you've spent time with and for your new party contacts, exchange details before heading off. Mention little details about people you've just met, so that they know you really took an interest in them individually; they'll remember that.

♀ Head home. Don't overdo the partying. A party girl needs her beauty sleep to be refreshed for the rest of her life––and the next party. As with all good things, they come to end and part of the trick of being a successful party girl is knowing when to call it quits and find rejuvenation time. There will always be another party but it's a lot harder to get rid of the dark circles from under your eyes and wrinkles brought about by sleep deprivation and pushing your body too hard. Besides, always leave people wanting more; that touch of mystery that lingers once you're gone is good for them.

And that's it. Hope you like it.

How To Dress For A Formal Occasion

Hey guys, it's Hanna!

It's not hard to look fabulous. This guide will tell you how to look like a celeb without breaking the piggy-bank!

➳ Get that perfect dress: Frenchies and secondhand stores sell clothes for less. Mind you, a lot of formal dresses used to be expensive, so the recycled dresses might be mid-priced.

➳ Jewelery The general rule is: Don't go overboard! Avoid matching all your jewelery. Mix it up a bit. If you must match it, then try to make sure that at least one piece isn't from the "set."

➳ Nails: Get a manicure/pedicure or glue on nails. Keep in mind that if they are too long or too squared off then it will not be glamorous- it will be tacky. "Forever French" or french polish is always chic.

➳ Hair: Style your hair to compliment your dress. Experiment the week before the formal to see what looks best with your dress, frame, etc. Hair accessories (feathers, jeweled combs, etc.) can also add interest. Keep in mind that whatever style you choose, clean hair is a must.

➳ Make-Up The general rule is: Focus on your eyes or lips but never both. You might want to take an hour or two to fiddle around with your makeup well before the Big Night. Start with a sheer foundation and use it sparingly. (Be aware that some foundations and powders can actually make your skin reflect several shades lighter in photographs. Also, if you're fake-tanning, make sure that your foundation matches your finished colour, otherwise it'll end up looking cheap and fake.) Decide on where you want the focus to be. Bold lips are not for the faint-hearted, so if you're unsure, err on the side of caution and focus on your eyes.

➳ Shoes: For most girls, you want .5-1 heels. Remember, you may be dancing all night so pick up shoes you're comfortable in. Either buy cheap shoes you will not wear again but match the outfit, or buy expensive shoes that you will wear with every outfit. Shop around and look for comfort and style.

➳ Grooming:
     ➳ A few days before: Fake-tan if you feel it's necessary, but only use a brand you've used before and are 100% happy with. The last thing you want is to end up with stripes, blotches or being a repulsive shade of tangerine. Also, consider getting your eyebrows professionally waxed/shaped.
      ➳ Night Before: Unless you do it every day, wash your hair now. Doing it the day before allows you (or the hairdresser, depending on your budget) better control of the hair. Too-clean hair is very difficult to work with.
      ➳ Event Day: Shower (or bathe, if you've got your hair done and don't want the water and humidity to ruin the style). Avoid using scented body-wash if you're using perfume. The two might not compliment each other. Deodorize, and make sure that it's invisible, especially if you're wearing black. If you need to pluck your eyebrows, do it at least 6 hours beforehand, otherwise you run the risk of the skin still being unsettled and red. Brush your teeth and freshen your breath.

And you are ready to go! I hope this helped you guys.

The Fault In Our Stars: Book And Movie Review

Hey guys, Hanna here!

OK, this is my first review ever, so I am hoping that it won't totally and completely suck (and if it does, please don't judge).

So as I said many times before I don't have a lot of time to read books, but I made time for this one. It was the first book I've read in a while and I loved it!

While you read this review, please keep in mind that I read this book about three months ago, so I don't really remember all the details.

So let's just get to reviewing!
I would give this book 5 out of 5. It was amazing, it had so many emotions and it really made me open my eyes to the world a little more.

Just in case you don't know what the story is about, read this short summary:
Basically Hazel and Augustus both go to support group and Gus is instantly drawn to Hazel whereas Hazel just tries to be friends because she knows she's going to die and doesn't want to hurt anyone. Soon they become friends trading off a book Hazel adores called An Imperial Affliction. Since the book ends with an unknown ending Gus uses his one cancer wish to take them (and Hazel's mom since she can't go alone in her condition) to a trip to meet the author, who by the way lives Amsterdam. He ends up being really rude and his assistant feels bad for what he said and did to them and tries to make it up for them since they'll only be in the Netherlands for three days. They end up falling in love but then unfortunate disaster strikes and I won't say what happen but let me just tell you to keep tissues near by.

I could go an and on abut how much I love this book, but this is a movie review as well, so here is the movie part:

I would give this movie a 4 star rating, just because they left out a few of my favourite moments. They didn't name Hazel's cart, like John Green did in the book. They also didn't even mention that machine that helped her breath when she was sleeping. They left out the part when Hazel and Augustus drink champagne on the plane. Or the part where they actually sell that old lonely swing set.

And I don't know if you noticed this, but the movie ends with Hazel saying "OK", and the book ends with "I do, Augustus. I do". I really like the book ending better.

The movie was OK, but I kind of expected it to be a little bit better. I have to say that I didn't shed one single tear while reading the book or watching a movie (but than again I never cry over books and movies, so...).

I do recommend both book and the movie, but I do suggest that you read the book first.

And that's my review on The fault in our stars. I honestly don't know, if you are allowed to share your personal opinion in a review and I don't even care.

Hope you enjoyed reading it and that I didn't bore you to death.

xoxo

How To Decide Whether Or Not To Get Your Ears Pierced

Hey guys, it's Hanna.

I already told you guys that I had two ear piercings and yesterday I got two more. Now I have one earring in my right ear and three in my left one. I used to have one the one that most people have and now I also have one right next to that one and one on the top of my ear (sorry for the terrible explanation).

If you are not sure weather or not you want a new piercing, I hope this tip helps you!

✪ Consider how old you are. If you are very young, it can sometimes be better to wait a while. You become more mature and responsible when you are at an older age and would probably treat your ears in a better manner. Also, you would be ready for the quick, but sharp pain that comes with getting your ears done. Yes, age is certainly a factor. If you are under 12, consider waiting a little longer.

✪ Think about how crazy your schedule is. If it's really busy, and you don't think you would have the time or remember to clean your ears on a daily basis, you may not want to get your ears pierced. However, if your daily plan has a few extra seconds where you are sitting around and it could be filled, think about setting your appointment.

✪ Give some thought to your financial situation. Getting your ears pierced is free in some cases, but in others it is not. You may also have to spend money on earrings. Obviously, some earrings are very cheap while others are quite expensive. You don't, by the way, want your very first pair of earrings to be cheap and crappy. Invest in a beautiful and good pair for your starters.

✪ Make the plans. The last step is your decision, and making the plans. Are you scheduling your ear piercing appointment or are you planning on having a doctor do it when you are older? It is up to you.

More tips:

✪ If you get an ear infection, visit the doctor! Do NOT try to hide it or get rid of it yourself. You need to seek professional help as soon as possible.

✪ When you first get them pierced, make sure to apply the creme from your doctor or ear care assistant 2 times per day.

✪ Ask your doctor about any skin or health concerns. Some people will need special earrings because of how sensitive their skin is. They might also need a special ointment for their ears.

✪ When you are little, it can be fun to get earrings that are shaped like different animals such as baby turtles and penguins.

✪ Not taking care of your ears can cause infection.

✪ Make sure you can afford it. I had to pay quit a lot for them to make two holes in my ears. And than I had to pay ever more for earrings. But different earrings in different places cost different amount of money.

And that's about it. Hope this tip helped you guys!

Tips And Warnings For The First Day Of School

Hello everyone, Hanna here!

First day of school is always a special day. Here are a few tips on how to make it even more special and unforgettable.

♒ Don't forget money for lunch and pack a light snack in your bag. You'll be eating on school time again and don't want your stomach growling.

♒ Don't forget to arrange for your ride to school if you're not taking the bus.

♒ For your hair, don't do something fancy. Straighten it, or put in some curling gel for sexy waves/curls. Don't get a hair cut right before school starts. Do it about a week and a half ahead.

♒ Start preparing mid summer and don't wait until the last week.

♒ About four days before school starts, start waking up early, going through your morning routine, etc., so you won't be as groggy on the first day of school. You wouldn't fly a commercial airplane full of helpless people without taking a course and flying a small plane on your own, would you? Exactly.

♒ If you have unwanted hair and your parent/guardian won't let you shave, ask them when you can start shaving. If they mention it's a milestone or much more later, try to convince them by showing them the hair. They probably haven't checked.

♒ Make up: Natural is best! Don't overdo it.

♒ Make sure you manage your time well so that you can do all of this.

♒ Try not to overdo your looks because that could make you seem desperate.

♒ If you do take the bus, sit with someone new. This makes your reputation look awesome!

♒ For serious acne you can ask your dermatologist for a prescription. Get it early enough so you can try different dosages should the first prescription not work.

♒ Visit a make up counter for good skin care options for your skin type.

♒ Set your alarm and ask your parents to double check on you so you don't oversleep.

♒ If you can't get to a gym you can walk or jog a little each day.

♒ Don't use too much perfume. If you're five feet away from someone and they can smell your perfume, you're wearing too much.

♒ Don't tell people you've been preparing for the first day of school for the past 2 weeks.

♒ Don't overstress.

♒ Just have fun!! it's the first day of school. Don't hate, just appreciate!!

♒ Don't go overboard with anything...

♒ When using hair removal products, always do a patch test on the inside of your elbow (a very sensitive area of skin). That way, if you have an allergic reaction you'll be glad you didn't get it on your face.

Some things you'll probably need:

♒ Water (Make sure you drink at least 6 full glasses every day. That's around just 2 bottles).
♒ Money
♒ Facial Wash
♒ Shower
♒ Toothbrush
♒ New/Cute clothes
♒ Make up
♒ Razor
♒ Jewellery
♒ Pads and/or tampons (just in case)
♒ School supplies
♒ Toothpaste
♒ Hair accessories
♒ Hairbrush

How to Be Cool and Popular Without Changing Yourself

Hey guys, it's Hanna.

Have you ever wanted to be cool or popular without losing your true self? Perhaps, the desire to stand out from the rest often made you worry about becoming something that you aren't. This tip might help solve this problem... read on to discover a newly cool you.

✤ Look at yourself in the mirror. Pick out all the things that you like about your looks. For example, you might have beautiful eyes. Or you have sexy legs. This will help to find out your style and what you should draw attention to.

✤ Go through your wardrobe and pick out what fits your style. If you think preppy clothes are for you, look for dresses, skirts, and sort of fancy tops. If you're the casual type, look for jeans, sweats, and cute T-shirts and tanks.

✤ Now, you're going to mix your best features with your style. If you have awesome arms, but you like the casual look, go for a cute tank and a few bangles. If you think your have good facial features but like the preppy look, find some cute preppy necklaces or earrings to bring the attention up to your face.

✤ It's time to flaunt what you've got! When you walk down the hallways at school, you want to turn heads, right? Well to do this, you need to have awesome confidence. Never let anyone get to you. Never scowl. Walk with your head held high and a smile on your face. If you want to convince people that you're cool, first you have to convince yourself.

✤ Keep up with trends. This doesn't mean changing your entire wardrobe, just take the trends and put your own twist on them. For example, say, yellow was the biggest trend but you think yellow is more girly and your style is funky. Why not buy a yellow shirt and paint splatter it with bright funky colors and pair it with skinnies and Converse? But if you hate what the trends are, don't put them in your closet. It's what you like that matters.

Extra tips:

✤ Make some friends by being just you. If people look at you and see that you already have friends, they'll think that you're friendly, and they're likely to want to be your friend, too.

✤ Most importantly just be yourself. No one wants to be friends with someone who is fake.

✤ It is never bad to look in the media and see what people like and if it does not fit you make the best effort but if you still are not comfortable make it yours.

✤ Work out a little bit to help you feel good about yourself if you already haven't.

✤ Don't lie. Being popular means you're a trustworthy person. If people can't trust you to keep a secret. It's harder for them to like you. They will tell other people. So be honestly and trustworthy.

✤ If you're the humorous type, throw in a joke now and then, but only when the time is right. You'll look stupid if you joke around at the wrong time.

✤ Don't ever look silly. The whole idea of being cool is not looking like a total idiot. Before you do or say something, ask yourself- "Would I look like an idiot if I did or said that?"

✤ Don't do drugs, drink excessively, or be promiscuous. Just say no.

Things you'll need:

✤ Good fashion sense
✤ Make up (maybe)
✤ Humour
✤ Common sense

And that's about it! Hope this tip helps you guys.

How To Deal With Less Intelligent People

Hello everyone, Hanna here.

In dealing with another person, it may become evident that he or she is "slow" or, for whatever reason, just doesn't "get" what you are trying to convey. If you decide he or she is less intelligent, here are some guidelines for dealing with people you think are "dummies."

⌘ Adjust your attitude if need be. Some people are contemptuous of others they deem less intelligent. As with beauty, intelligence is not an accomplishment. Just be thankful that those smarter than you are smart enough to know that you're no dummy.

⌘ Keep things in perspective. Intelligence, or the appearance of intelligence, is not the most important measure of a person. It's how you use your mind that matters. Many high-achievers don't seem all that smart, or have a lot of "book learning".

⌘ Make sure you are not the problem. It's a mistake to assume someone is less intelligent simply because he or she doesn't seem to understand your request or direction. The problem might be how you communicate.

⌘ Try different ways of explaining things. Some people are interested in the main points, the big picture, before they get the details. Others might not care about the big picture and respond better to a detailed explanation of all the steps and procedures, the if/then scenarios, and so on.

⌘ Dealing with "dummies" comes up frequently in the workplace, when training someone new. You've explained something several times. Why doesn't he or she get it? Is this person stupid? The person you are training might end up ahead of you in the pecking order, perhaps even be your boss someday, so it pays to be kind and considerate to anyone, even someone who seems like a "dummy."

⌘ If you have to train people at work, try reading a book on training.

⌘ Don't confuse knowledge with intelligence. Don't take it personally if a person doesn't know something you feel they should know.

⌘ Don't write off people who seem like dummies. As you get to know someone, you may discover that a seemingly "not so swift" person is amazingly knowledgeable in some area. Supposedly handicapped people, those with speech impediments for example, may seem like dummies but are likely to be more capable than you in some ways.

⌘ Don't actually tell them that you think they are not intelligent, or you risk offending them.

⌘ People who don't use computers a lot may seem like dummies. But guess what — the president of your company might not know how to turn on a computer. She has people to do that for her.

⌘ Don't talk to a person as if they are a child. They will pick up on this quickly and may react negatively.

And these are all the tips I have for dealing with less intelligent people. Hope you guys don't hate this tip.

How To Look Amazing On The First Day of School

Hey, Hanna here!

All right, girls -- the first day of school can be exciting, but it takes planning. Keep reading for tips so you can look drop-dead gorgeous your first day of school.

01. Looking great takes time, so begin these steps at LEAST 2 weeks before the school year starts.

02. Get to bed earlier to get into a good sleeping pattern. Start waking earlier, too. And try exercising 3-4 times a week. You'll look and feel better.

✏ Make sure any summer homework is finished at least one week before school starts. If not, the extra rush/work can cause stress, which can cause unwanted acne.

✏ Drink plenty of water. It's not only good for your skin; it also hydrates your body. It flushes toxins and helps stop food cravings.

✏ Begin a daily exercise routine over the break. Try jogging, yoga, swimming, visiting the gym or mixing it up. Do a little something every day. This will help keep your energy levels up and shape you up for the upcoming school year.

✏ Develop a skin care regime. If you have acne, get a good quality facial wash. Wash your face daily. This will eliminate acne, leaving skin pimple-free the first day of school. Avoid harsh chemicals that over-dry and cause redness. Companies offer formulas for oily, combination, normal and dry skins. Use what your skin needs and not what your friends are using. If you have combination skin, look for something that won't dry out your normal areas when you wash the oily areas.

✏ Remove unwanted body hair from legs, underarms and face by shaving, waxing or using depilatories. Use caution with depilatories, as they can cause chemical burns on sensitive areas.

✏ Work on your tan. There are options other than sun worshiping and tanning salons. Experiment with self tanners and find a formula that works for you. You can also dust your cheeks, nose and chin with a bronzer. A sun-kissed glow is always great for starting school. Don't start experimenting the day before school, in case you break out or turn a funny color. The smell can also stick around for a day or two.


03. A week or a few nights before the first day is all about planning!

✏ Plan what you are going to wear. Try out different jewellery and accessories. Don't dive into fall looks for your first few weeks of school, since it will still be too warm. Wear lightweight and summery styles. Shop for a few summer items to get you through the warm weather when things go on sale at the end of the summer.

✏ Shop for school supplies. Pack your supplies, bookbag, etc. either the night before or 2 nights before. This way you're not running around in the morning trying to get your stuff together.

04. It's the night before, so get some beauty sleep and calm down!

✏ ake a shower (not a bath) the night before. You want to be clean and nice smelling, but dripping wet hair looks unattractive. Wash your hair twice, and scrub well, but not so hard it hurts. That will leave a mark on your skin. Try scented soap or body wash. Or... You could get up early, take a shower before school starts and get it dried before you get to school.

✏ Go to bed a little earlier than usual. Remember, you don't have the "old" routine down, and you don't want to be late.

✏ Lay out your clothes: put them on the hanger so that you will have more time in the morning. Pick a clean, flat shirt (complying with the school dress code, of course) and nice pants or a skirt. Don't wear baggy or super-short bottoms, they look trashy. Keep them clean, and don't try them on a million times. Lay out socks and shoes, and don't wear a grungy pair of sneakers; make sure your shoes are clean. Socks aren't important, but make sure they go with your outfit and comply with dress code.

✏ Pack all the things you need for the next day into your bag the night before so there is no rush the next morning.

05. It's the first day! Early bird catches the worm so get a great start!

✏ Wake up at least an hour and a half before you have to leave. Give yourself plenty of time to get ready and get out the door. Remember, there will be lots of kids being taken to school by parents on the first day so leave early to avoid the extra traffic.

✏ Spritz yourself with a light perfume or use a scented moisturiser. You can use a combination but don't overdo it.

✏ Wash your body parts,brush your teeth, wash your face,fix your hair, put on deodorant. If you have any favourite perfumes, do a little 'competition' between them and see which one comes out on top. Then wear that scent to school!

✏ Get dressed before you comb your hair. Then, run a good brush or comb through your hair several times until it looks neat and flat. Boar bristle brushes make hair shiny and smooth try one of those! Boys, don't spike your hair, at least not today. Undo your braids, girls, and lightly brush your hair if you would like it to be wavy or curly. Style your hair, being sure not to load on the gel.

✏ Apply your make-up, being careful to keep it simple. If you have a tan you can just go with mascara, eye liner and gloss. Don't forget a bronzer or blush for the extra color. Put on your jewellery.

✏ Take one last look at yourself and around your room.

✏ Eat a healthy breakfast to keep you energized throughout the day. Plan a good mix of carbs and protein while avoiding sugar.

✏ Put your cell phone (if you bring it to school) on silent!

06. When you get to school, all that preparation will pay off!

✏ Say hi to the familiar faces and catch up with friends.

✏ Be nice to everyone and start the year off on a great foot. Don't carry over any bad vibes from last year.

07. Have an awesome day! Be nice to everybody, and be sure not to get into trouble.

And that is all. Hope you guys enjoyed this tip.

xoxo

How To Look Cute As A Teen

Hey guys, Hanna here!

So... I am a teen and I always want to look my best. I know I don't look great all the time, but these tips helped me look better.

✼ Hair: Lots of hairstyles can make you look cute. Pigtails are good for long or short hair, but some people find them a bit too cutesy. If you have long or medium length hair, two plaits work really well, and so do natural waves, rather than straightened hair. A low side ponytail is also on option. One last hairstyle is a simple pony tail with a cute Alice band with a bow on the side, but to pull this one off, it needs to be at the middle of the back of the head, and neat and tidy.

✼ Make-up: This is best kept neutral. A little eyeliner, maybe some eye shadow, a little blusher for some colours in your cheeks and some clear lip gloss will look great. Of course, you don't have to wear any make up at all!

✼ Jewelery: This should be kept pretty and petite. A dainty necklace, a little bracelet and a ring will all be brilliant. These work pretty well on their own, but to make jewelery look even more cute, the charms could be flowers, hearts, stars, peace symbols, etc. Quirky jewellery can also be really cute, but try to keep it to one or two statement pieces per outfit.

✼ Tops: With tops you can have anything you want. Cardigans, hoodies, its up to you. Bright colours work well, with pictures of things like butterflies, flowers, etc. The slogan 'Do you think I'm bothered?' also works really well for looking cute.

✼ Bottoms: Again, any trousers can do the trick, but skinny jeans work best (at least for me).

✼ Shoes: Slip on ballet-pump style shoes with a bow on the end definitely look cute, but if you have narrow feet, they won't be an option as they'll just slip off. But normal white trainers, kept clean, will do the trick. The tennis style shoes that are in right now are also brilliant, along with boots. Uggs aren't usually thought of as cute, however.

And that's about it. Let me know what you guys do to look cute!

How To Look Cute As A Teen by summer-tip-team featuring green home decor

What To Do When You Are Jealous Of Your Friend's Style

Hey guys, it's Hanna!

Well, you already took the first step: identifying the problem. When you are jealous of something it usually means you wish you had it to yourself and thus start disliking the person who has it instead of you. Somehow, being "angry" at that person helps you deal with how angry you are at yourself for not being able to get what you want.

01. Realise that being jealous in itself, although common, is rather stupid. By being angry at whoever it is or wishing you were just like them won't get you anywhere. Once you realize this and move on from your anger towards your friend and yourself, all will be easier. Don't be angry at your friend for being stylish or at yourself for not being (or even for being jealous). Style can be studied and attained.

02. Isolate the feeling: you may be jealous of several things but try to access what is it exactly. It could be that you wish you had that same handbag or red pumps but it could also be you just wish you could be as happy as she looks with those new things or that you wish you could afford to have new things whenever you feel like it. If you find out that the style-based jealousy is hiding something deeper see this article. Other reasons may be that you wish you had the guts to pull off a difficult piece but worry too much about what others think of you, or even wishing you'd look good in that colour.

03. Swallow your pride and ask her for pointers or to borrow a particular item. She will probably let you, if you two are really friends. If you are too proud to ask her just watch and learn. Observe her (not in a stalker-like way, just make mental notes) and notice what she is wearing, how she wears the pieces and how she puts them together. maybe even write down what you like about it. Do you like the breezy light feel of it? The chunkiness of her knits? Identify what attracts you.

04. Think thoroughly what is it exactly that you like. If you love her fierce red pumps, it could be that you like her look in heels: get yourself a pair of heels (different enough from her that you can feel better and no one will notice). If you like the colour and how well it suits her beware: if you aren't alike it could be that the colour to give your skin, eyes and hair the best look possible is very different. It could also be that you like the overall style/the sensation the clothes pass on to the observer. Use a style website like polyvore.com to search clothes and looks and identify what you like (you can even ask other stylish member for help).

05. Identify the feel it gives you, and try to achieve it with your own clothes and different outfits. Or buy a couple of pieces that give that feel. Back to the red pumps, if you love the fearless look of wearing such a daring colour, get something with the same feel but completely different like a shock-pink trench or a bright green shirt. Look out for things that might not suit you and think twice before buying the item if you're not okay with getting weird looks on the street.

06. Don't forget to work with what you've got. Things that look great on her may not look great on you! Keep in mind your personal characteristics and which colours look best on you. She looks great in lime-green? If you don't, but love the look, emulate it with a colour that looks good on you. In case of doubt, use universally flattering colours like true red, teal or eggplant.

Extra tips:
⋆ Go through each others' closets. You may want to swap just between the two of you, pass on unwanted items and/or make outfits that the clothes owner had never thought of. This is particularly helpful to you as your style savant-friend will basically tell you how to get her style with your clothes. Pay attention.
⋆ If you are just open and honest with her, she'll probably be flattered and help you out with tons of tips.
⋆ Try having a fashion swap party you may end up with some of her thing you love the most.
⋆ Talk to her honestly. If you are young enough, she might even enjoy you both having the same outfits and wear them the same days, as twins.

Warnings:
⋆ Don't let jealousy ruin your friendship.
⋆ Don't be mean to her just because you need to feel better than her somehow. Think thoroughly and although you may not be as pretty or as good of a soccer player, you have other fields in which she is no match to you such as maths or guitar playing.
⋆ Style shouldn't be all that important. If you feel insecure about your looks, work on that before embarking on a style journey.

And these are all my tips and warnings about this topic. Hope this helps.

What To Do When You Are Jealous Of Your Friend's Style by summer-tip-team featuring a pattern wallpaper

How To Sound Classy

Hey guys, it's Hanna!

This is the second one of three tips on how to be classy.

❁ Don't curse. Having a foul mouth is just not classy at all. If you have the urge to curse, go into the bathroom and turn on the faucet while you let loose a row of expletives, or curse into a pillow. But don't let people see you curse. This will make you look kind of trashy, and, if you're cursing because you're angry, like you don't know how to control your temper, which is a big sign of having no class.

❁ Praise people behind their backs. That's right. Instead of talking about how someone is trashy, annoying, loud, or stupid, take some time to say something nice about a person who isn't there. That will show that you've got class, and that you're confident and cool enough to realize the strengths of others instead of talking smack the second someone turns around.

❁ Don't be the loudest person in the room. Has someone ever walked into a party where you were hanging out and said, "I knew I was in the right place when I heard your voice from across the street"? If so, then you better pump down the volume. Everyone can hear you just fine. Don't think that you have to yell or shout to prove your point. Talking evenly, even if you're around a lot of people, is a sign of class because it means you're confident enough not to have to shout to get people's attention.

❁ Don't talk about how much class you have. For some reason, people who think they are classy just love to talk about how much class they have, especially in comparison to one person or another who has "no class" or "no class whatsoever." If you find yourself saying, "I've got class..." or "I'm a classy girl..." then you are not acting so classy yourself. Let other people figure out how classy you really are instead of bragging about it.

❁ Avoid burping in public. Burping in public is not cool or funny or a great way to amuse your friends after you've had a burger and an extra large soda. If you love burping for fun, please stop. And if you accidentally burp, that's no problem. Just put a hand to your mouth and excuse yourself.

❁ Have proper cell phone etiquette. If you have class, then don't tap away at your cell phone every five seconds, barely look up from your phone in social situations, let it vibrate or buzz, even when you're in class, and pick up your phone in the middle of a crowded coffee shop and start yapping away about your most personal problem. Talk on your phone only when you're alone and when you're not interrupting anyone, unless it's an emergency.

❁ Keep your voice calm even if you're angry. Even if you're in public and your significant other, best friend, or a perfect stranger has made you completely angry, you have to take some deep breaths, close your eyes, talk slowly, and generally keep your cool. Don't let anyone catch you yelling, screaming, or throwing things in public. And try not to do these things in private, either.

❁ Don't talk about money. It is so not classy to talk about how much money you make, how much money you have, how much money your new car/kicks/jacket/earrings cost, or that you just got another $10,000 raise. Don't talk about how much your parents, boyfriend, closest friend, or anyone else makes, either. It's just not classy.

And that's all the tips I have about sounding classy. Hope you enjoyed this tip and found it helpful.

How To Look Classy

Hello everyone, Hanna here.

This is the first one out of thee sets about being classy. Here are a few tips on how to look classy,

❁ Avoid getting caught up in trends. There is nothing wrong with enjoying fashion or buying clothing you find attractive, but, avoid clothing that does not flatter your physique, coloring, etc.

❁ Define yourself with a clean and elegant look. Excellent presentation is half of the battle. Wear clothing and accessories, which flatter your body and never wear anything you feel uncomfortable in. You don't have to wear the most expensive clothes on the market, or even buy knock-off clothes on the cheap. It's better to go for an individualized and put-together look.

❁ Don't under dress. If you have to go to a formal or semi-formal event, then you better know what that means. It's better to overdress a little than to under dress, and it's not okay to show up to a formal event wearing jeans if you needed to wear slacks or a dress. It's not funny to wear sneakers if you needed to wear dress shoes, either.

❁ Don't look like you were partying the night before. Avoid showing up anywhere wearing wristbands from the club from the night before, stamps or Xs on your hands from the bars you went to, or just smelling like sweat, bars, beer, or even vomit. Get your day-old eyeliner off your face, take a shower, and don't show up anywhere, not even brunch, without looking like you're ready to start a new day, not crawl back into your lair.

❁ Get your look together before you leave the house. Don't put on makeup in public, comb your hair in public, button your shirt, finish tying your shoes, check out your outfit, or do anything that says you took zero effort to get your act together before you left the house. Tuck in your shirt, put on your mascara and lip balm, and do absolutely everything you need to do before you go out into the world.

❁ Don't wear overly provocative clothes. Leave something to the imagination. When you pick your outfit, make sure you know the difference between sexy and slutty. Girls, don't let your cleavage be the main attraction of your outfit. You can show a little skin, but don't let people see everything that you have to offer, or you will give off the wrong impression. Show off your legs, but make sure to keep your derriere covered.

❁ Have great posture. Part of looking classy is having good posture. Keep a straight back, look in front of you instead of at the ground, and avoid slouching as much as you can. Don't cross your arms over your chest but keep them at your sides to help your chest open up. If you lift your head high you will look and feel more classy. And when you're sitting down, you should avoid slouching too.

And that's how to look classy!

How To Act Classy

Hey guys, it's Hanna again.

This is the last one out of three sets about being classy. Here are a few tips on acting classy.

❁ Be authentic. If you have class, live in a way of which you should be proud. If you have to be phony and deceptive then you should consider why. A person of honor and integrity never needs to hide behind a facade. If you can't show your true self to the world then who will people see? Just stop pretending. Though you may be tired of hearing that you should "be yourself," it's really true. If you're faking it, you'll never make it.

❁ Be independent. You must be courteous, but do not bend over backward to please others. If you do, you may find yourself being taken advantage of in the future. Limit your time and availability and draw boundaries with others so that they are aware of your limits. Do your own thing and get some "me time" to figure out who you really are instead of being obsessed with always having plans is very classy.

❁ Be assertive. Avoid passive-aggressive thinking; it's likely to trip you up eventually. Assertiveness demonstrates maturity, thoughtfulness, and confidence. Class requires balance, and assertiveness is a prime example of this concept.

❁ Don't feign knowledge. When your group or date is speaking about a subject you don't know or understand it is prudent to either state that you don't know much about the subject at hand, or if you want to carry the conversation, ask for more information about the subject. Not only does this show maturity, but it also shows that you are keeping an open mind.

❁ Treat others the way you would want to be treated. The Golden Rule truly is a time honored guide for treating adults and children with class. Giving others advance notice before cancelling dinner invitations, speaking up for those who cannot stand up for themselves, calling your parents to update them on yourself, checking in with friends; these are all simple gestures that demonstrate your class and authenticity.

❁ Be open to personal development. Do not berate yourself, but be receptive to constructive change. In our world, change is inevitable. Be a positive and flexible part of it and show others the way as well. Face life rather than burying your head in the sand and others will know instinctively that you are someone whose opinion counts.

❁ Be knowledgeable and aware. It is wise to become politically, culturally, and religiously aware. Even the most basic knowledge can save a person from embarrassment and awkwardness. If you know in advance that you will be spending time with someone of an unfamiliar background, it is a good idea to do more in-depth research to avoid embarrassing faux pas.

❁ Know when to ask for help, but avoid desperate behavior. This is the kiss of death for the classy person. Only desperate times call for desperate measures. Take a deep breath, be strong, and move through the situation with elegance and grace. You will be the victor for it, no matter the outcome. If things get out of hand and you feel completely overwhelmed, ask for help from a close friend or family member.

❁ Be responsible. Classy people leave their surroundings in a condition at least as good as they found them. Unless they are in a restaurant with wait staff whose job it is to do the clearing up, classy people insist on taking care of their own trash and baggage, not expecting others to pick up after them. And when others do favors for them, while stuck-up or spoiled people assume it's only to be expected and ignore others' assistance, truly classy people are quick to notice and to express their gratitude and their appreciation.

❁ Be considerate. Truly classy people instinctively recoil at the thought of inconveniencing others, offending them, getting in other peoples' way, or in any way making nuisances of themselves. Classy people are all about minding their own business when among strangers and putting others at ease when in social situations. Truly classy people are gracious and affable to everyone, whether the CEO, the mail carrier, or the custodian.

❁ Keep the promiscuity to a minimum. If you want to be classy, then you shouldn't go hooking up with random people every night. And if that's your thing, at least don't talk about it, brag about it, or walk around with lots of visible hickeys. Classy people don't kiss and tell, so don't divulge the details of your latest hook up session. Don't let people see you making out on the dance floor either, because guess what, that is not classy.

❁ Have good manners. Say, "Yes, Mam," "No, Sir," and "thank you" as often as you can. Be polite to your elders. If you have to sneeze, sneeze into a tissue, not the air. Don't wipe your nose on your sleeve. Don't pick food out of your teeth in public. Generally, don't put your finger into your mouth or nose. Acquire at least basic table manners. Put a napkin on your lap before you eat a nice meal. Avoid scratching yourself in public. Don't brush your hair in public, apply make up in public, or pick at your clothes in public. Do these things in privacy; wait until you've found a bathroom or are alone. Don't break out in boisterous laughter.

❁ Be a classy drinker. Don't get so wasted that you have no idea what happened the night before. That means no blacking out -- and even no browning out. Keep your control; people should see you looking in charge of your own mind and body. If people see you stumbling around and slurring your speech at night, then there's no way people will think you're classy even if you're carrying around textbooks and looking classy during the day.

And that are all my tips on acting classy. Hope this helps you guys.

How To Be Happy

Hey guys, it's Hanna.

So technically, I can't tell you how to be happy. YOU are the only one who can. But here are some steps to help you feel good, healthy, and eventually, happy. :)

~SMILE~
You might be surprised to find what results from this simple action. When you smile, it doesn't just brighten up your day, but the one's around you as well.

~DO YOGA~
This relaxes your body and your mind. Plus there are super cute yoga mats out there!

~MAKE LISTS~
Keeps you organized, reducing stress and expressing your feelings. Write your thoughts!

~SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY~
These are the few people that, no matter what, are kind of forced to stick around you :) Talk to them, listen to them. Sometimes you fight but more importantly you love each other no matter what.

~LOOK FORWARD, NOT BACK~
Cherish every moment, in the moment.

~LISTEN TO MUSIC~
Turn it up and dance like no one is watching!

~GO FOR A JOG~
Get some fresh air in you, and keep your body healthy. Happy body, happy person.

~TAKE A BREAK~
Mountains of homework? Work on it for half an hour, take a small break to relax again, and then conquer the rest of your assignments.

~DO NOT SPEND ALL OF YOUR TIME ON THE COMPUTER~
There is a lot of unwanted and unneeded drama that stems from social media. Go outside and hang with your real friends, instead of the virtual ones.

~GET OUTSIDE~
Sunshine and sky will always make you feel better. Feel freer!

~SLEEP WELL~
Make the most of tomorrow by resting your body.

~HAVE A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS~
Two friends that you can talk to whenever and about whatever is worth so much more then ten "friends" that you can't be yourself around. Sometimes it's hard, but you may have to let some people go, or let yourself go from some people.

~BE A TEENAGER!~
This is the time in your life were you have little responsibility, wild emotions, and a full life ahead of you. Do what you love... find passion and pursue it... Sorry to sound boring but do well in school! Laugh for no reason. Smile at others and make others smile. Spread kindness and happiness! You are alive so LIVE!

And these are my tips on how to be happy. Hope they help you!!

How To Be Close Friends With A Guy

Hey guys, Hanna here!

I have a lot of guy friends, so that's why I decided to make a set about how to make and keep guy friends. Well first you need to understand that guys are just like girls. They are just as easy to talk to and they will listen to your problems, if you listen to theirs.

01. Introduce yourself. If he doesn't notice you, you have to make him. Go over and talk!

02. Talk to him, but don't follow him around. Say hi every time you see him, but don't always expect a long conversation.

03. Find out what he likes. If he likes football, talk about last night game in front of him, or go to one of his games.

04. Make him laugh. Guys like to joke around. And try to figure what kind of humour he has and what he finds funny.

05. Hang with his friends, who knows, maybe they will like you too! And eventually he will get comfortable with your friends

06. Know that if someone asks you if you like him, be very careful.

07. Be nice to him - but not too much; tease him a little bit. Guys like to be teased a little bit more than girls.

08. Understand that If your goal is to date him, flirt a little if he's single. If you don't want to date him, then don't get pressured into dating him anyway.

09. Sometimes it's not meant to be. If you feel uncomfortable or if it seems like he feels uncomfortable, let it go.

10. Just be yourself. No one, boys included, likes when a person tries to be someone he/she is not. If you are a girly-girl and just want to be his friend because you like him, it might not work out and you should understand that and let it be. ANYTHING is better than trying to be someone you aren't.

And these are the tips I follow when I want to get and keep my guy friends.

How To Avoid A Boring Life

Hey guys, it's Hanna!

I don't want to live a boring life and I'm sure you don't want to either. Here are some tips on how to make your life less boring.

"An active person makes things; a passive person waits for things to be made. An active person works, plays, walks, runs, dances, travels, speaks, loves, laughs, and cries. A passive person doesn't do anything but damning that boring empty life."

01. Make new friends! Renew the relationships with the old ones!

02. Do as many things as you can: go to the cinema, to the theatre, subscribe at several clubs, workshops, outdoor activities, go to a fitness club.

03. Stop grumbling! Be positive and nice with everybody next to you.

04. Quit laziness. Practice your hobbies like swimming, jogging, soccer, football, basketball and anything else of interest.

05. Find a nice job. if you like your job, you will feel like playing all day long!

06. Have the courage to say yes to all your opportunities, no matter if they seem to be boring at the beginning. For example, if a boring colleague invites you to a movie, don’t refuse his/her request, it’s possible that he/she might be a nice and even funny person good enough to make you laugh.

07. Practice the "Smiling therapy". It seems that if you force yourself to smile, let’s say, ten times a day, in few weeks you’ll finish by smiling naturally and even by being happy.

And these are my quick tips on how to avoid a boring life. Hope it helps you guys.

How To Decorate Your Dorm

Hey guys, Hanna here!

So I don't really have a dorm, but I thought it would be fun to do a tip about it anyway.The same steps kind of apply for decorating your room so let's get to it!!

01. Check. Yes you, check the rules conditions for living in the dorm. Many dorms have strict rules about mounting photos and painting the walls. Check before you decide to do anything major with your dorm rooms.It also helps to talk to your room-mate and discuss your budget, likes, dislikes and colors you can't stand. You are going to be living there for the year, how awful would it be if you had to live in a yellow room and yellow made your head spin.

02. Envision. Get unpacked and line your personal belongings on the floor and gaze at the empty space around you. Being surrounded by your possessions will help to prevent homesickness.How would you like your dorm room to appear? Do you want it to appear classy, trendy, fun, edgy or plan comfortable. It helps if you look at a few articles for design ideas.

03. Time for Action! Flex your muscles and start moving furniture around, push that horrible wood grain table under the window.Give the bed a push away from that elf-sized closet to give yourself space for pacing.You will probably need your roommate and their permission for this one.

04. Action bedspread. Yes your bedspread is a big part of your decor, since you have such limited options, a bedspread is more of a design element more than even before. Find a pattern or color you like and will not grow out of in a few months. If you are sure you will find fire engine red as alluring as if was in the summer, go for it. Buy cool throw pillows to give your room warmth, throw them in your chairs and set them across your bed. Remember cohesion is the key, you want everything to look related to each other.

05. Consider storage and organization as a decoration. You'll need to cram a lot into a small space and storage helps to keep your belongings safe and tidy. Choose organization that is color coded and themed and matched to your decor. There are plenty of designs to choose from, wicker baskets, neon plastic , tin, just make sure it is sturdy enough to last you your stay.For example, neon crates that look cool match your jet black splatter paint blanket.

06. Invest in a small safe. Use this for passports, ID, mobile phones, laptop and expensive jewelery etc. Be vigilant. If you accidentally leave your door unlocked, someone could slip in and take your precious belongings. Find a quality safe that means stay away from flimsy tin safes in bright colors. This safe is simple for safety, not decor.

07. Colorsplash. Find a trendy colorful or stylish throw rug for your hardwood floor to keep your feet warm during the winter. Many dorm rooms are not blessed with floor carpeting and you will have to trek to the nearest Target or Walmart and find a nice rug. A soft carpet will make you feel as if you are at home and pull together your room decor. A carpet can make or break a room. That old beer stain carpet you took from your Uncles wouldn't be a good idea if your bed spread is pink.

08. Under the bed is a great storage space. If the height is too small, bed risers are available. Suitcases, clothes, shoes, textbooks etc. can all be stored safely under the bed using color theme crates found at Walmart, Target and many other large chain stores.Remember above the space above the wardrobe can be used. Plastic boxes are especially useful and can be stacked above the wardrobe out of the way.

09. Dreadful blank walls. Many dorms do not allow you to hang frames from a wall unless you use old fashion clear tape.Take advantage of posters.Tape magazines and photos across your wall in cool patterns.Another idea is to cover every wall with a black curtain complete with the curtain rod, there are hooks that stick to the wall without nails and peel away without a hint of damage. Go to your nearest hardware store and ask for the product.

10. Hit the thrift store and set up old knick-nacks on your inn table and dresser drawer. Albums and ancient books scattered across the table. A few art pieces you find appealing to the eye would look great on that dresser drawer. Lean photographs against the wall if you are not allowed to stick nails into the wall.

11. Curtains. If your dorm was not generous enough to supply curtains, purchase a few from the dorm section at big surplus stores. A cheaper option would be a few shower curtains or buying bundles of fabric and sewing them yourselves. If you live in the heart of the city, try curtains that will block out bright lights and warm up your room.

And that's it! Like and comment bellow, if you want me to give you more tips and warnings about decorating your dorm.

How To Dress Like A Girl, If You Are A Guy

Hey guys, it's Hanna!

If you are a guy and you from some reason want to go to Homecoming dressed as a girl, I would suggest you follow the tips below!

♡ AVOID TIGHT CLOTHES. I suggest that you don't wear something too tight, unless you want to show off your body shape. I recommend you wear something a little more loose.

♡ WEAR THE RIGHT SHOES. If you are a guy, you probably won't feel comfortable wearing heals. I suggest you wear flats or sandals or just play it safe and wear sneakers. Don't wear flip flops!!!

♡ PICK THE RIGHT BAG. Don't carry a huge backpack or a fanny pack! Chose a nice purse or a clutch that matches your outfit.

♡ ACCESSORIZE. Wear some jewellery like bracelets, bangles, earrings or a necklace. But don't wear too may jewellery!

♡ MAKE UP. If you want to wear make up, I suggest you go for an natural look with a little mascara, skin tone eye shadow and a nice pink lipstick/lip gloss.

♡ HAIR STYLE. You probably don't have long hair, so you might want to consider wearing a wig. In case you want to show your hair, at least brush them trough no matter how short they are.

♡ SMILE. The most important thing to wear to a dance like homecoming is a smile. Don't forget it at home, because you are beautiful when you smile!

And I think that is it. Let me know if I forgot about something. Hope this helps!!

How To Look Sexy In A School Uniform

Hey guys, it's Hanna.

Today I have another back to school tip and it is about school uniforms. I hate that I have to wear a uniform for school, but I know that a lot of you guys have uniforms as well. Here are a few ways to look more sexy in your uniform (for girls only).

01. Make sure you pull up your skirt above the knee. If it's a mini skirt, however, there would be no need to pull it up much more higher. You'll make people see some unexpected sights.

02. Tighten your belt when you want your buttocks to look big in the pants. (What girly girl doesn't want their butt to look big and curvy when they wear pants?) Don't tighten your belt to the point where you cut off your circulation, though! If you don't own a belt, however, choose pants that are skinny or tight.

03. Unbutton the first two buttons or the top button of your shirt. When wearing long sleeves, roll them up below your elbows. If you'd like, you can also untuck your shirt.

04. Put your tie over your sweater or vest (if you wear one). If the sweaters or vests look boring, however, apply cute pins or buttons.

05. Apply on cool neon laces if you must wear specific colored sneakers. If you have to wear a specific color of flats, however. choose ones that have cute dazzles on them. To show off your shoes, put on cute socks with patterns if you are allowed to.

06. Choose cool highlights for your hair. Choose cute styles that would show them off. Buns, pigtails, ponytails, and spiral curls are the most common. You could always rock those hairstyles with bangs.

07. Wear large hoops, ear cuffs, charm bracelets, or cute studs to show off your ears. If you have piercings, fill them in with cool piercing rings!

08. Don't forget to wear make-up that shows your true self. Wear simple lip glosses like pink, red, or peach.
♥ Wear retro lipsticks like purple, blue, orange, or yellow.
♥ Apply mascara to make your eyelashes long.
♥ Apply eyebrow pencil to your eyebrows to make them look full.
♥ Do your nails when you get the chance to with 3d nail art.

09. Choose cute colors for your braces, or frames that fit just right for you! These will make you look sexy.

And that's pretty much it. Hope you guys found this helpful!!

How To Give Yourself A Makeover

Hey guys, it's Hanna.

A new school year is coming up and that is a perfect time to change up your look and try something new.

+ F A S H I O N

☼ Clothing plays a very important role in expressing who you are. What you wear can affect your life dramatically, since clothes are one of the main things determines the first impression you make on people. Figuring out what type of style you have is more important than it may see.

☼ For this part of the makeover, you need to figure out what style truly says the most about YOU. After you know what you like and what you want, go shopping! Try things on and assemble outfits the NEW you will love wearing and feel comfortable in.

Here's a list of "styles" you might want to try out. It's also nice to have clothes of different styles so you can match your clothing to your mood.

« Preppy [blazers, polos, oxfords, straight leg pants and jeans]
« Girly [dresses, bows, florals, soft colors]
« Indie/Bohemian [plaids, sweaters, ankle boots, darker subtle colors]
« Vintage [high waisted shorts, older styles of sunglasses, leather jackets]
« Tomboy [Athletic wear, jeans, sneakers]

☼ Obviously, there are lots more styles and types of clothing out there! You just have to find what you feel comfortable in! Use magazines, mannequins, friend's opinions, and even Polyvore if you aren't the greatest and putting outfits together.


+ B E A U T Y

☼ Sometimes when you are giving yourself a makeover, you all want to change your looks in general. The goal is to be able to look in the mirror and feel truly beautiful. Sometimes for this to happen, you have to try new things.

☼ HAIR is really important to a lot of girls. Learn how to do some cool hairstyles that you like. Maybe try a new type of braid, try teasing your hair, or straightening/curling it. If you really want a new look and are brave enough, cut or dye your hair. Ask a hair stylist what hairstyles would look good with your face shape and what colors would compliment you eyes, skin tone, etc.

☼ Try some new MAKEUP looks. Google tutorials, read reviews, buy some new products, and experiment! If you have never really worn makeup on a regular basis before, I suggest trying to get into a daily routine of applying some light makeup. For example, use mascara, BB cream, eyeliner, and lip gloss each morning. You'll have a new, fresh look that works anytime and never gets old!

☼ FEEL GOOD. To feel refreshed and truly made over, get into the habit of cleansing, moisturizing, and exfoliating your skin.


+ A T T I T U D E

☼ I think this is definitely one of the most important parts of a makeover. Looks aren't going to make a difference if you don't feel good on the inside. Decide if you need to change your attitude entirely, be more self-confident, or just need to try and be happier in general!

☼ If you had been mean to other people before, bullied someone, or done anything to hurt someone else before, apologize! Give them a gift, take them out for a spa day, doing something to show that you're sorry and want to change.

☼ Radiate confidence! Walk with your head up, and let people know that you've given yourself a makeover! Talk to new people and old friends, and let the get to know the new you! Be confident should be easier if your makeover is a success. You'll feel better and happier with yourself in general!

That is pretty much it and I hope you guys found it helpful! Comment bellow if I forgot something.

How to Have Smooth Hair

Hello everyone, it's Hanna here.

I always wanted those long smooth hair. Did you ever want that? Since I started following methods below my hair got a lot smoother. It might work for you as well!

❁ Brush your hair from scalp to end. This helps the oil spread evenly.

❁ Use conditioner only on the ends or from the middle down.

❁ Use sprays. Don't use hair sprays that cause you to have dandruff. I mean the one to use right after you take a shower.

❁ Brush your hair everyday, every time you look into a mirror.

❁ Don't wash your hair every day. That is bad for your hair and causes more hair to fall out.

❁ If there's hair stuck in your brush, take it out all the time. Really try keeping your brush clean.

❁ Try out some hair masks. find one for your hair type and give it a try.

❁ Stop using heat on your hair. It's bad for them. Maybe try using some other methods on how to curl/straighten your hair without heat.

❁ Regularly cut ends of your hair. This way you protect your hair from getting even more damaged.

❁ Don't colour your hair. When you colour your hair they become the opposite of smooth. I suggest that if you really want a different hair colour, use a colour that will wash of soon, not a long lasting colour. And try to stay away from ammoniac.

❁ Don't always wear your hair in a ponytail. Rubber bands are OK, but don't wear them all the time, because they will damage your hair.

I really hope that these tips help you guys. They most certainly helped me.
