Take a look at your binders. Are they patterened? Put your name on the inside cover with matching colors. Plain fronts? Decorate them with Sharpies, stickers, colored duct tape, etc. Do they have a plastic cover? Decorate a piece of paper and slide it in!

Then find a nice pencil pouch or case:

Put all your pens and pencils in your new pencil pouch, fill your binders with paper, put it all in your book bag, and head for school!

A Girl’s Guide to Wearing Kid Sizes

embracetheworld — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:57:40 +0000

Yes, some people can still wear kids sizes. And if done right, you can still look stylish and age-appropriate. Here are some things to do:

LOOK FOR:

Older girls clothing, normally sizes 10-14.
Styles similar to those in the juniors’ section.
Designs such as hearts, stars, and flowers.
Fitted jeans with zippers and buttons.
V-necks and plain camis.

AVOID:

Large fake rhinestones and logos from brands that do not make juniors’ sizes.
Characters such as the Bratz, Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers, and High School Musical. (Things like Looney Tunes and Mickey Mouse are okay in certain situations. Use good judgment.)
Non-fitted shirts aside from babydolls.
Stupid sayings like “Princess”, “Lip gloss”, “My dog ate my homework”, etc.
Elastic waistband bottoms.

EXAMPLES:

This shirt is a good example of what to get. L.e.i. also makes junior sizes, so the logo is not a problem, and the style is similar to those in juniors.

This is the type of shirt you do not want to get. Hannah Montana, metallics, and the ruffles together make it seem too young.

Girls, when shopping in the kids section, use good judgment. Always ask yourself if it’s too young. You may want to bring along a parent or friend who also shops in kids for help. Two opinions are always better than one.

E.L.F. Cosmetics: Only a Dollar!

embracetheworld — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:52:16 +0000

Click to get cosmetics for only a dollar!

Yes, it’s true! You can get make-up, nail polish, and more for only a dollar! I don’t know the full story, but what I heard is that Nordstrom bought E.L.F. and are now repackaging the line. Now they’re trying to get rid of the old stuff by selling it cheap. This is good for you!

They are also selling items such as body butter and make-up cases for less too, so make sure to get there before it’s all gone. I think you can even use a coupon code, CAROLINA, for extra savings.

Go shop!

Clean and Clear SOFT: Steam

embracetheworld — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:12:23 +0000

So, I tried Clean and Clear SOFT: Steam In-Shower Facial. Let me tell you, it’s great! You can feel it working. Here’s some info:

The CLEAN & CLEAR® SOFT In-Shower Facial cleanses young skin by offering a deep purifying technology that consists of a combination of the following key ingredients: Glycolic Acid (an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid), clay, natural fruit acids, and exfoliating beads. The SOFT In-Shower Facial features Glycolic Acid, an exfoliant that promotes gentle cell turnover, as well as clay, which draws the dirt and oil out of skin that often gets trapped deep down in pores. Formulated with natural fruit acids, this cleansing treatment helps lift impurities from skin as the exfoliating beads help to improve skin’s clarity and texture by gently, but effectively, sloughing away tired, dull skin. Using the SOFT In-Shower Facial for just one minute helps to soften, purify and smooth young skin now, and promotes beautiful skin in the future.
