Cash in a flash!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Make money, hunnie! How to turn your hobbies into hundreds
  • Welcome to the saving generation
  • Wanna go to college? Better save your pennies
  • I wanna...train tigers!
  • Find a job this summer! Step one: Ready your resume
Is summer already a bummer ’cause you and your BFF are low on dough? Cheer up, chica—GL’s got your money-makin’ hookup. Grab your broke bestie and start workin’ down our no-fail list for padding both your bank accounts. With hard work and a ready-for-anything attitude, you’ll have enough for a serious back-to-school shopping splurge.

PARTY FOR PROFIT
You and your girl have mad babysitting skills—why not work ’em in a new way by becoming birthday party assistants? Let the moms in your neighborhood know you’re sooo up for blowing up balloons, carving cake, scoopin’ ice cream and playing games with their rugrats. You and your BFF can charge around $50 a party, which really adds up if you’re bookin’ multiple bashes in a week (easy to do once word gets out about your fabulously festive ways).

SHAMPOO THAT SHELTIE
A neighborhood dog wash can earn you and your girl major Lincolns. Make signs advertising your pup primp, and set up your driveway with doggie shampoo, a hose and buckets. Before ya know it, you and your BFF will be sudsin’, rinsin’ and stylin’ Fidos all day. Charge around $10 a dog to build a swell cash stash to divvy up! Make it a weekly thing to see the moolah multiply.

GET RICH ON RADISHES
Bet every neighbor on your block would love a gorge garden, but many adults lack the time to tend one. Here’s where you and your BFF swoop in. Knock on doors (only the people ya know!), and offer your services as the Go-To Gardenin’ Gals. Set up a daily schedule to water posies, yank weeds and plant veggie seeds (radish and spinach will sprout great come fall). For your labor, charge each neighbor $15 a week—you’ll have  steady income all summer long and get to bank some major time in the great outdoors. Go ahead and offer mowing services, too, for even more buckage—it’s not a job just for the boys, you know!

HULA FOR MOOLA
Wanna give back? You and your BFF can raise cash to donate to a charity in your orbit by hula hooping—yep, you read that right—for dollars. Ask your friends, fam and neighbors to sponsor you (and as many buds as you can recruit) for, say, $10 every half hour. Then, bright and early on a weekend morning, hit your backyard, and hula for as long as you can (your sponsors and fans can come by and watch). Don’t forget to take a 10-minute break between hula sessions! When your hips have had it, call it a day, count the cash and pass it along to you and your bestie’s fave organization. Awesome!

MOD!
Do you get paid for being a mod? Just curious...




Hey girl, we do — roughly $7.50 an hour, like most jobs you'll start with (retail, food service, etc.).

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! HELP!
Ive gone boy-crazy! From 1st-6th grade i HATED boys, thought they were gross and annoying. And what i regret now is i used to make fun of a boy in 4th grade and now hes been by crush since 7th grade! Im going to 8th now! I dont know if he remebers when i see next year if he is in my class ( he never has b4) one of bff loved him sooo much in 5th grade! but now the problem is i like guys kinda TOO much? well now i at school i have 2 crushes i think about them all the time! and the bad part is they dont talk to me at all! and they dont have a FB! so what can i do to take my mind off them and guys all togetther? thx




Hey girlie,

Relaxxxxx - going from hating boys to liking boys is SO normal! That's what happens to almost all of us as we grow up. As for the boy you used to make fun of...he might remember, but most people also know that a lot can happen in 4 years. People grow up, people change, and people learn a lot about themselves. I'm not saying he'll automatically forgive you, but if you treat him well now and respect him, it'll be ok. As for forgetting how much you like guys - you can try, but it's better to just fill your life with things to balance it out. You're always gonna be crushin on guys, so rather than trying to suppress that, just spend more of your time doing other things. Take up a sport or join a new club. Find a new hobby you've always wanted to try or an instrument you've always wanted to learn. Call your girlies and have a girls night. All of these things will remind you that there is more to life than just boys...but they can add a lot of fun to our lives too Smile

Mod mod mod!!! Every year I want to get a new backpack for school but my mom never let's me!! She's always saying that the one I hav is perfectly fine and it is but I'm so sick of it!! It's this ugly pukey green color. I want a new one but my mom just won't budge!!! Plz help




Hey chickie,

If you want a new backpack this much, why not save up for one yourself? You can buy them at any time of year {not just back-to-school time}, so save your allowance and gift money, then do your research - find the best prices, the most durable brands, and your fave design/color. Then present all the info to mom and ask her to take you to get your own! You'll like it even more if you buy it yourself... you earned it! Smile

i have been having yellow discharge in my underwear since april and now it is august. it doenst smell, and it doesnt itch, so what is it?




Hey girl,

Fishy smells and itchy sensations are major hints that something is wrong. You don't have those, so relax! Light yellow discharge is actually as common as white or clear discharge, which is natural for our bodies to produce. As long as the discharge doesn't turn darker {or into another color like green}, you're ok Smile
