Take care of your eyebrows

Before you get a wax your eye brows exhioliate with a moisturizing soap and raw sugar, or grains. This will open the hair follicles and make it easier to pluck. This will give you a smoother look and it makes the hair growing process a little harder. Pluck them quickly and from the root, this will make it certain you wont have to do it again. After you are done, put ice onn your eyebrows to close the pores and bring down the swelling. The irriatation of the skin can make the skin sensitive and red. Which is not appealing.

Frizz Control

Does your hair get really frizzy from the heat? We all hate the wet humid air but our hair does even more. If you need to keep it close to your face and under control put hand lotion all throught your hair. Make sure you don't drench it but make it a thin coat from root to end. This will put a barrier between your hair and the hot air. It also adds shine and viatamins.
Or you can; Mix a banana, ¼ cantaloupe, two tbsp of yogurt, and one tbsp of olive oil together in a blender. Put it on damp hair and wash it out in 20 minutes!This will leave a nice smell and a unfrizzy look.

Forever 21...Too much?

We all love the new store in Christiana mall. People choose it for everything. I mean everything. Do you ever think that this could be a terrible thing? Prom is coming up and do you know where everyone is going to go? forever 21. You will see tons of girls with the same exact dress on. Regreting that night, that should be the least regreted. That store keeps everything in stock. If you take a dress off the rack and it goes home with you, there are still 100 more in the store and 3 will be bought buy someone in your school or even grade. Dare to be different. Try and do a through hunt over the internet for a store not in that state. This will most definietly reduce the 'common clothing' disease spreading to you. I promise everyone will ask where you got your dress, but dont tell them! Then you'll find yourself hunting over the internet again.

Do It Yourself Earring Holder.

I always have a problem keeping my earrings together. And when I lose one of them I can't find the other! This Do it yourself project will garuntee you'll never lose any of them again. All you need is a frame *if you can't find one, flea markets sell them for a very low price.* wire cutters, a screen, and crazy glue.
Step 1 Cut your screen to fit your frame. Be careful though, if you need extra assitance ask a family member.

Step 2 Glue the screen to the frame and let it dry. While this process is taking place, find all your earrings and get them ready to be hung.

Step 3 Hang it on the wall followed by them earrings.

This look is very creative, and is a good wall looker. Never lose your earrings again.

Go Green Fashion Scene.

We have all heard the story about going green and trying to conserve energy. But It is very difficult after living for so long dong things a certain way. No one really knows how or where to start. But when they do, they cant finish. But another problem with being 'green' is how unfashionable it seems. Note: I said seems. There is a way to change this Eco Friendly Stereotype.
Stay away from Leather! Leather is cow, and cows have a big part in our world. the process that the cow must go though to be put into that jacket you saw is undeniably cruel.
Referbish Clothes! When your favorite jeans rip and your about to throw them away. Save them and make a bag, or a hat, or a bracelet. Then those jeans can be with you for another 3 years.
Make Old Phones a Key Chain! You just got a new phone, or your old one is broken. Youre going to toss it and forget it. But tie a string to it and put it on a bag! Make it nice.

Leggings as Pants?... Bad Idea.

You see people with tight 'pants' on all the time. What is the purpose of wearing them? To make your 'butt' look bigger? It doesnt. It's like coloring your skin and walking around without pants on. So basically you are naked. Being naked is not cool. Wearing pants are a key part of looking appropriate. There are different ways to wear leggings and still look appropiate too.

Another Fashion NO. would be high waters.
I see them so much around this school. High waters are a big no. Give yourself a test in the morning. Stand straight up and look down. If you can see your ankle; take them off. If you cant then keep them on.

Summer Poem

Sweat gleaming down the faces of many
But their smiles still going strong
Laughter filling the thick and hot air
But a small breez blowing through your hair
The long lines for a cold semi frozen treat
The sun shinning bright overhead
Speaking things that cant be said
Providing happiness to all
But only if the sun could teach the fall.

Who Worked It Better?

92% Liked the (right) better then the left. But The one person that did vote for her said "The left has a lot more curves then the right. You can see on the bottom of the right girl's dress that she has alot more room at the bottom, that's because she can't fill it out." And I agree somewhat to an extent.

88% liked the (right) dress much more then the (left) dress. I agree, not that she is better looking, but that she caries herself alot better in the dress.

Party Bag?

Ready for some kind of formal or party? But your bag is the size of a banana. You need to pack things important. But your idea of important fits the size of a huge tote. You need help narrowing it down an making a educated descision.
1. Take out everything you could possibly need. All the things you want. Lay them on a flat surface, easily visible. Then set your bag beside it.
2. Next you should go through each item and thing about your day. If it only appears once, put it on now. I.E lotion. If you would only need it once, put it on now and never worry about it again.
3. Begin to add. After going through the first two steps you should know what is legit or impossible, amd make the best descisions possible.

Thick Lashes?

Are your lashes really thin? Mascara doesn't work, and you re tired of trying new mascaras and wasting money? Well there are some ways that you can extend your mascara amount and change the outcome too.

1. One thing you can do to extend the amount you have is to add a viatamin oil to it. Something you would use for your hair, for example vatimin E. If you add that it can, stretch the lashes, give them a smoother, shinier look, strengthen your lashes, and make it easier for you to wash off.

2.Use the tip of the mascara tool (turning it vertically) and rubbing that part against one or two of your lashes. This highlight some of the lashes making them darker than most, drawing attention to them.

3. Start and wait, then start again, this will coat the lashes. If you continuously cover them with mascara and do not wait for them to dry you are wiping off the old batch and putting on a new one. It also makes your lashes bent or unshaped. So you get knowhere. But if you wait you cover them more and pile on more, making them wider, and longer.

4.Begin from the top and then from the bottom and over again. First hold the tool over your eyelid,then push down lightly. Then curl from the bottom of the lashes, and then the top and over again. This will make the lashes a little less curled and a bit more flat and 3D.

Do it Yourself Fahsion Projects.

Do you hate when ear phones that are colored or bedazzled cost maybe 10 dollars? Do you know what you could do with that money instead? Food, toys, accessories, popcorn at the movies, and a bunch of other thing, but did you notice earphones were never on that list? Make your earphones your very own, in you very own house, for about 3 dollars.

1st: Find a pair of earphones that dont cost that much. Now if you get premission from parents to color your apple Ipod earphones, then go ahead and may I say you have some great parents.
2nd: Take some paint, or nail polish and color the areas you desire. Then add glue, or nail polis to the end on the jewel. It will help it stick to where you want it to.
MY IDEAS ;) : Color the strings of the ipod in stripes. Making them all the way from the head of the ipod down to the tip.
3rd: Let them dry for about 2 hours and get ready to use.

Do it yourself fashion projects!
If you need a new necklace to wear everyday without worrying about losing it or having it break but on a cheap budget, this is something I highly recommend. It only costs about 8 dollars to do, and might I say it is very cute.
1st: you get the supplies, a key (one you use or one you don’t), sturdy string, some paint or nail polish and rhinestones.

2nd : You paint the key in a thin coat of nail polish or paint and you let it dry for about an hour or two. Then you to the other side if you want. Make sure you only use a little if you plan on using your key again to open your door, or a diary or something, because if you use a lot it can reshape your key, and it won’t fit into your lock.

3rd: After it is done drying you can do basically whatever you want to it. What I would recommend doing is to take your finger when it is just almost done drying and press it lightly on the key in different places all over the key. That will make a finger prints and make it a little more personal. A couple other things I like is adding a bow to the hole on the top of the key. Or maybe adding the rhinestones in a straight line across the top. You should be creative and do whatever you want to it, trust me it looks good with about anything.

Since the key is so small it looks like a little something extra rather than not matching at all. I personally love this idea and I encourage this, because a necklace accents the face and everyone could use a face accent every once in awhile.
Good luck!

APRIL FOOLS 2010!

No real Diamond? Laniya Thompson
There was a scientist who did a recent study of diamonds, and found that for the past 100 years the contents of diamonds have changed. They used to consist of pure rocks and crystals but now have been changed to climate change and different natural environments. “We have no clue what the new substance is, but there is a possibility it isn’t pure.” A professional scientist says. These ‘diamonds’ are much tougher than the normal pure diamonds. So have we been paying all this money for diamonds that aren’t real? People say they don’t know what the new substance is so how will we ever get the old one back? Are diamonds extinct?
Pore infection?Laniya Thompson
Girls and guys all around the world have been having a problem with their pores. They stay open continuously and never close. So this increases a problem for an infection. We took two people with this problem and took them to a dermatologist. The dermatologist took blown up images of their pores and noticed they were filled with bacteria. A certain bacteria that multiplies by the minute. There is no cure for this yet, but until then he recommends you wash your face every ten minutes, but of course no one has this time. Keeping this on your face could cause serious problems, including skin cancers. So be aware!
