Three Ways To Stay Cool This Summer!

 
Sometimes there’s no escaping the brutal summer heat. That’s why GL’s dishing out three chilly tips for staying cool all season long. Pour yourself a glass of icy lemonade and get set to feel the temps drop.

Go Minty Fresh
Swap your normal hand soap for one in a fresh mint scent. Lather up and you’ll get that “ahhh” feeling. Aren’t a fan of mint? Cukes are cooling, too, so seek out soaps in that scent as well.

Ice Down Your Lotion
Before slathering on SPF or body lotion, try putting it in the fridge for an hour or so. The cold sensation will re-energize you before you face the devilish sun.
 
Mask the Heat
Facial masks can leave the skin feeling cool and tingly. So indulge in a full-fledged spa day with the girls! Not only will you be clearing up your 
skin while having fun with all your gals but you’ll feel chill in no time.

A Girl asked a Boy: -Do you think i'm pretty? -He said NO....-Do you want to be with me forever? -He said NO -Would you cry if i left? -Once again He replied with a NO. She had heard enough; As she walked away tears ran down her face. The boy grabbed her arm and said: -You're not pretty you're BEAUTIFUL. -I don't want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever. -And I wouldn't cry if you walked away..... I would DIE. Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they love you. Something good will happen to you between 1:00-4:00 PM tomorrow, it could be anywhere. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. If you break this chain u will be cursed with relationship problems fo' tha' next 1O yrs, send this to 20 ppl in yhur buddy list.

I have know clue wat im gonna were when i go back to school can you help.My style is kind of like a rocker prep.




Hey girl (sounds like ya have great style), try skirts, skinny jeans, flats and converse.  Throw the prepiness into the mix with pearls, lace and headbands. Smile

Thank you!!

Todays tip is about finding your style. Everyone has their own style and you need to find yours and rock it! Personaly I am an Abercrombie girl. I am always wearing either that or Hollister but that's just me. I created this quiz to help you find your style and I also suggested some stores for that style. Take the quiz and find yours!

01. It's your first day back to school! What are you wearing?
A. Sweats and a cute tee. It's just school right?
B. Jeans and a sweater. You wanna look hot while staying warm.
C. A cute new dress you just bought. You are like a model and the hallways are your run way. Get ready to wow the croud!

02. Time to pick out some new accessories. What do you reach for?
A. A cute headband or pre wrap. Anything to keep your hair out of your face!
B. Diamond studs. You like to keep things simple.
C. A new necklace with the matching bracelet and earrings. Glam it up!

03. Electives time! What do you pick for you extra class?
A. Gym. Shootin hoops, spiking the ball, running laps, this is so your thing!
B. Art. Who wouldn't want to spend an hour everyday painting and coloring?
C. Fashion design. What a great way to put your sense of style to good use!

04. Whose your style icon?
A. Shawn Johnson. She can work the sweats and leo but also looks great in a simple dress!
B. Selena Gomez. Skinny jeans, a tee, and converse. Finally a celeb who understands the word Simplicity. And style!
C. Miley Cyrus. Whether she's hanging with the fam or rockin on stage in a blond wig this girl knows what to wear.

05. What HSM song would be in the soundtrack of your life?
A. Get Your Head In The Game. You can so relate!
B. Start Of Something New. As long as it's not to new....
C. Fabulous! You want Fabulous that is your simple request. All things Fabulous bigger and better and best!

Results:

If you picked mostly A's: Your sporty! Your fine wearing sweats and a tee and that's great! Hair in a pony or messy bun is just well you! Remember to dress it up on special ocasions though A great store for you is Aeropostale. They have cute sweats that are pretty cheap and you can get them in a bunch of colors and styles! They also have matching sweathirts and tees that you can get too! I reccomend getting a cute skirt or dress from somewhere though. You never know what might come up lotsa cute boys take gym ;)

If you picked mostly B's: Your simple and comfy!
You like to look cute without drawing a lot of attention. Way better then those who like to look good by revealing much. You like to stay away from busy prints and instead choose simple plain tops. A good store for you would be Old Navy. They have varietys of tops and bottoms that suit your style. Try getting a shirt there that has a fun pattern or a bright color though. It will get you noticed slowly which is a good thing

If you picked mostly C's: Your preppy
Like I said before. You are like a model and the hallways are your runways. You love to wear anything that's cute and flirty and that draws the eye. Dresses and skirts or cute jeans and babydolls the perfect store for you is Abercrombie and Fitch or their kids store abercrombie. They have adorable dresses in flirty prints along with a big assorsment of jeans and dressier pants. I just went major shopping there yesterday and got three dresses, four sweaters, and two skirts. I fit in to this catagory so I'll tell you what I know. I try to stay clear of getting their t shirts and focus more on dressier things. The thing is they are really expensive so if you won't be able to get anything there try Maurices or Kohls for cute dresses skirts and sweaters.

Hope this helped you! I know there are a ton of other styles out there but I chose these three to focus on. Remember to make your style your own and change some things up do your not just following the croud!

mod-

i have an awesome idea! for the makeup section of style, you should have girls email GL in a contest to have their own blog about makeup! i really want to be a makeup artist, and im good at it too, and it would be so cool if you had a different girl to blog about different styles! Ex: Betty for Smokey eye, valerie for natural, mandy for bright, and such! that would be sooooo cool, and i bet it would be popular!

My other friend has like a really good website tht u can even post ur songs, and other ppl will rate how good they r, but she wont tell me!!!! thx!!




Hey babez, try a google search for songwriting and check out all the sites there. There are too many to just reccomend one! also ask your friends and a music teacher about songwriting. There's a ton of information all around you. Just go for it! XOLori

Hey, My question is: Will cycling help me lose my belly fat or will it only help me lose weight from my thighs & legs? And how long & how fast should I ride a bike to make losing calories effective?

Thankyou!

MOD!!MOD!!MOD!!MOD!!MOD!! i wanna get my ears pierced but I'm afraid to because my mom and both my sisters got infections when the got their ears pierced. Does that mean it will happen to me since were related?




Hey babez, as long as you clean the piercing, get it done at clean, reputable shop and follow the directions, you'll be infection free. Be safe! XOLori.

there was this guy i went out with and i dumped him 3 times and now we are just friends.last night i was crying because i realized that he was the perfect one for me and now he probably doesn't want me back because of how much times i dumped him.i should know how to handle this myself because i am 19 but i still don't know what to do.HELP!!!!

Hey babez, try and have a serious talk with him and lay everything on the table and be truly honest with him, try and work out all of ur problems and see things frome his side and vise versa. Don't cry! you'll pull through it! Best of luck! XOLori.

There is this guy I am kind-of friends with who I really like. =] Lately we have been talking on Facebook a lot and last Saturday at our homeschool group's monthly teen party, I was getting a drink at the snack table and he came over. Our eyes met and we both said hi. Then I made a joke about something we had said online, and we laughed and joked a bit more (in my opinion, he seemed a bit nervous, but I don't know if that's just me) before he walked away. I worked up the nerve to IM him the other night and I said hi and told him who I was and he responded with "Hi!! How are you?" Then later I asked if he was planning on going to our friend's party and he said "Yeah for sure Are you?" and I said "Probably." and he said "cool". After a while I said, "Well, I'm gonna get going. I have to get ready for bed, haha. Talk to you later! =]" and he responded, "Yeah! TTYL"
So, my question is, do you think he might like me, or is he just being friendly? I'm going to be seeing him at the party on Sunday and I'm really excited/nervous! Thanks!

 

Sounds like you might have something there! rev up your flirting, girlie, so you can find out what he's thinkin and how he's fellin'!

I'm going to a sleepover with my BFFL(one of them) & she just told me we migh go swimming.
Well you see, I had my first ... period last month & it's late(like 6 days already). I don't wanna wear a ... tampon(my mom won't let me) but... i can't wear a pad. please please please relpy!

 

Might go swimming! Well, i wouldn't worry too much about it unless your period has actually come--sometimes, it can be irregular especially if your period has JUST started. If it does decide to show up, let your BFF know! she'd be happy to think of other things to do so you can participate
