Weekend Fun

Fancy Dinner Party

 

With activities and school stressin’ ya out, taking a time out to catch up with your besties may be just the thing you need!


Grab your gals and plan a fabulously fancy night that's guaranteed to be a great time. 


Elegant Attire Required

Hand-write your invites in gold pen or in a fancy gold font. Include all the juicy deets—like the time, place and locale of your excursion. Make sure your BFFs know it's an invite to a delicious dinner and movie night. Tell them to wear their best and not to be afraid to bust out their trendiest heels and fanciest frocks. If you really wanna make it over-the-top elegant have your chicas don tiaras, gloves and big gems. The more glam the girls go, the more posh the evening will feel!


Decor Galore

Hit up the craft store for some cheap, cloth napkins and iron-on initials. Go with colors or patterns, whatever you love. Personalize the nappies with your friends’ initials and tie them up with cute ribbon or bows!


Tie the utensils in your personalized napkin creation and use any extra ribbon to thread through your chairs. Line the center of the table with cool candles. Add a big bouquet of flowers for a super fresh feel. You could even play soft classical music to up the fancy feel. Ahh, the ambiance.


Gourmet Grub

Cook something creative and simple. Stick with your faves but fancy them up a bit to stick with your theme! CLICK HERE for a great fresh salad starter. As a main dish serve up some delish pasta. Get an oh-so-easy mac 'n' cheese recipe RIGHT HERE. Throw in some rolls and serve sparkling cider in plastic champagne glasses and you're all set. Bon appetite, babe.


Mega Movies

After you done grubbing and gabbing, turn on the tube and watch some fantastically fancy flicks. Go for some old-school glam favorites, like Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Casablanca. In between movies, pause to snack on some delicious dessert (CLICK HERE for a great recipe) and hot chocolate!

__MOD__ Hi so i think my crush might like me (yay Smile ) but there's this girl i'm kinda friends with that i've known since i was 6 and she likes to gossip about ppl including me. she's friends with my crush, so i'm afraid if we go out she'll tell him lies about me Frown what should i do??? thank you so much! God Bless!!! - ashley

 

Hey chica, try not to worry about her. If he really likes you, he won't worry about what she says. And if he does ask you about something she's said, let him know that's its not true and that she gossips all the time. Unfortunately we can't change the actions of other people, we can only work on ourselves. Smile

Hi! My birthday is in like a week and I am turning thirteen. I am having a party but its really expensive and therefore I can only invite 4 girls. I have alot of people I want to invite, how can I make sure they dont find out and are not mad?

 

Hey girl, I understand your dilemma so you've got to explain that to the girls you invite. Say that your parents are only letting you invite 4 people and you picked this group because you think you will all have  a fun time, given the constraints your parents decided on. Have a fun party! Best,

I really need to have more sleepovers. I haven't had one since my b-day!!! (JULY!)

Ok, I talk to my ex-bf because we are still friends, I kind of think I like him, but than I think about it and I don't, I can never make up my mind, I guess I kind of think of him as being a better person than he actually is. What should I do? Thanks Mod! You guys give me soo much advice I don't know how my life would continue with out you guys, Thanks!!







Heyy!!!




Well, There is nothing wrong with being friends. Nothing wrong at all. When you break up with anyone, your feelings will continue to be there for almost double the amount that you dated him. I mean, I don't see anything wrong with a friendship. There are plenty of guys that I've dated and are still friends with. Try not to confuse him though if you are having mixed feelings. Take some time away from him to figure out if you start missing him. What's meant to be will always find its way!

Want to eat healthy but not ready to go full vegetarian?
Solution: Go semi-veg! This means that you will not eat cow and pig but still eat chicken and turkey (basically cutting out red meat). Or, you can give up all of those and just eat seafood.

Solution2: Moderation! Instead of every meal, eat just once a day or maybe once every couple days.

Solution3: Lower quantities! The average American eats 6 servings a day (2 servings per meal) when all they need is 3 a day. How about you eat meat every meal but only half a serving each meal?

Hey girl! You can make model planets and wear black and look the universe.

so u said that i should say hi and talk to him more but the thing is i already DO say hi and like i said there's no opportunity 4 me 2 talk 2 him anymore than that. so what should i do???? oh and my one guy friend was talking to my crush and asked him if he liked me and he said she's pretty and he was like well yes or no and he said yes so what is THAT supposed 2 mean???? he likes me but won't make a move????? plz help!! sry if i'm getting annoying i'm not trying 2 b!

 

Hey girl! He might like you, but he might not feel comfortable yet to make a move. You should spend time with him so that he can get to know you better.

*daisygirl* on 11/7/2009 3:53:07 PM

Wow!it sounds fun to me but my friends probably wouldn't like it cuz we are crazy!lol
MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!MOD!!!!!!!!!PLEZ HELP ME!!!
okay so my bff has this problem...so she liked this ove guy bryceson anyway she is like in love with the guy.but most girls are so anyway there's this other guy Spencer who called her cute (he's in brycesons crew) so Anyway he says hi to her everyday in the hallway so now she likes him to and I can't really blame her he's cute and has a better personality than Bryson.but mod he calls a lot of girls cute.so she doesn't know who to choose Shes flirted with both and neither like her I think so she decided she need to pick one abs flirt with only one.mod. She think there in love with her.the thing is I like both of them too.but she wanTs me go pi k for her she says I'm more practical.what do I tell her?

 

Hey girl! It should really be up to her. You could talk to her about your concerns, but I think its really up to her what to do. She can keep her options open until anyhting serious happens.

shoptillyadrop! on 11/7/2009 3:49:10 PM

hey so i could use some help like a lot! ok so there's this guys i really really like but the prob. is id have any classes w/him and so i only see him inbetween 2 classes and that's it. i finally said hi to him on wed. and he looked really surprised but then smiled and said hi back and then i said hi again on thurs. and he said hi and ya but now everytime i see him we like say hi and/or smile and make eye contact. but i can't really have a conversation w/him b/c i never have the chance so what should i do. and then yesterday we had a send off for our cross country team and there were like 30 people in between us but then somehow it ended up he was right next to me except for my friend and i didn't want to switch spots w/her cuz i didn't want to seem stalkerish but the whole time he kept looking over at me and smiling which is good but idk what to do. b/c no girl has ever really liked him or gone out w/him and so he dosen't have any experience and is super shy so he's not gonna make a move. what should i do? just keep saying hi everyday? b/c i thought that would get kinda weird and awkward. but idk. plz plz help i can't get this guy off my mind!!!!!!
thnx so much!!!

 

 

Hey girl! You could just give him a friendly hi and talk to him more. Then when you guys are comfy around one another you can hang out.

I REALLY want to vegetarian!!! But my fam isn't supporting me at all! Any ideas to make them a little more supporting in my decision?







Hey girl! You can just not eat meat, and not make a big deal about it. You can tell them its important to you.

that sounds cool i know the whole theme is supposed to be elegant but i dont know if id like it

dogluver82 on 11/7/2009 2:55:31 PM

Sounds like tones of fun! I haven't had a girls night out with my buds in a while, so maybe a fancy dinner party would be just the thing!

paige*elizabeth on 11/7/2009 2:17:01 PM

that sounds awesome! i've been wanting an excuse to dress up!

brunnete_rox on 11/7/2009 1:55:38 PM

sounds like fun. but just one thing- in england nappies are diapers. so basically you just told everyone to personalize your friend's diapers.

kgirlpanda on 11/7/2009 1:10:34 PM

But who would dress up just to come over to your house? And if there's not boys it'd be weird. lol... I'd rather have a good old fashioned sleepover!

hey im turnin thirteen in a week and im havin a bday party, girls and boys. but the prob is idk what i shuld do! like movies? games? help! i invited my crush and i want it to be fun and sumthin to remember! plz help! thx Smile




Everyone loves a good movie and food! For games you could try video games that both boys and girls like, (like Nintendo 64 or Wii), or you could try a board game like Cranium or Scategories.  If you have access to a pingpong table or pool table, that may be fun too!

ok I was wondering if you girls had any ideas for a friday the 13th,13th birthday party(not the movie)
but anything we can do or decorate with
there are 7 people coming
if ANYONE has an idea please tell me on my profile!!!!!!!

tang454 on 11/7/2009 12:24:21 PM

sounds great but some of my friends refuse to wear dresses

dancer10196 on 11/7/2009 11:07:25 AM

MOD!!!!!!!!!
this year we have a prom in junior high and im not a fan of dresses and im not AWESOMELLY confident with my legs so HELP!!??




Hey babe you could always wear tights.  Tights can disguise pale legs and make them look sheek, tan, and toned.  Or you could try a dress that hits mid-calf or far enough below the knee to make you comfortable.  (As long as you can still dance in your dress!)

bridoll on 11/7/2009 11:00:18 AM

That sounds so cool. My friends would totally love it!

Boogieloo on 11/7/2009 10:01:53 AM

MOD MOD MOD!!!!! okay so last night there was a arty at our school and I had so much fun and everyone did too, ever the boys were dancing and last year they were in the corner just standing there! well i was thinking about maybe having my 13TH b-day like that (it's in december) but i have like 2 good friends that are boys so don't you think it would be awkward if I invited all the boys. I would probably have to invite everyone from both classes (60 kids) so should I have an all girls party or just ask the boys? Thanks so much girlie!




Hey babe! It may be easier to just have an all-girls party because you'll know what you're getting into.  It'll be easier to plan and you know everyone will want to do the same thing. Also, the guys' feelings wont be hurt if they aren't invited.  Have fun!
