Entertaining pick-me-ups


 

Check these out, too...

  • Musical collabs we totally heart
  • It's puppy love with The Last Dogs: Dark Waters
  • Fash face off: Selena vs. Taylor
  • Our take on Demi Lovato's latest album
  • Book series you've gotta start this summer
In light of the recent tragedies around the world, we’re really taking the time to be thankful for all of the little things we have in life right now. And while material objects like books, CDs, video games and flicks aren’t nearly as important as the larger scale things, sometimes it’s the smallest of items that can slap a quick smile on our face.

We’re lucky to have our health, family, friends. And, in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, why not share a few teensy entertainment items we’re also fortunate enough to have. Here are four different things that, even when life gets tough, can make us a tad cheery.

Song: “Who Says” – Selena Gomez
It’s songs like this that keep us going! The opening lyrics are “When it comes to me, I wouldn’t want to be anybody else.” It reminds us to not listen to what others say. The only thing we need to remember is how beautiful we all are, and that’s something we can definitely feel lucky about.

Book: The Lying Game
The author of Pretty Little Liars is back with a fresh series—and we can’t wait to grab the newest addition. Just like PLL, each book ends with a mystery that’ll have you pre-ordering the next release. Just a li’l something to look forward to.

Celeb: Taylor Swift

OK, so she may be big EVERYWHERE, but let’s face it, Taylor’s songs and values are something to remind us of our good luck. No matter who you are, this megastar has a song that can describe your life. Always humble and calm, we’re happy this country sweetheart hasn’t let the fame get to her head.

Video Game: Dance Central
Do you have the newest Xbox 360 addition? This Kinect experience will give you a work out without ever having to go to the gym! Not only can you get your dance on, but you can do it to some of your fave songs, too. From Lady GaGa’s “Just Dance” to Jay Sean’s “Down” we feel pretty lucky to have video games like this to give us a break from all that silly HW.

What do you feel lucky to have in your life and what helps you feel better when you’re down? If you’re still thinking about the losses in Japan and want to know more about easy ways you can help, CLICK HERE.

Sometimes life seems so hard that we cant even manage a smile.
Come visit the club Smile, and be inspired to get over

whatever it is you need to get over or be a helping hand to others! Learn to live life without all of the unnecessary drama. After- all smiling is much more funSmile

Bonjour chicky! You know you can customize your privacy settings when it comes to certain individuals. Just go to "Account" at the top right browser and click on Privacy settings where you can make it so that this girl can't see any of your facebook profile that you don't want her to see.

So this REALLY annoying kid from my old school somehow got my email. He IMs me ALL the time, and I really really dont like him. Hes not saying mean things or anything, its just annoying! What should I do?




Hey girl, I'd suggest ignoring it or blocking his IM. He won't keep bothering you if you never answer.

Okay I have really flat hair. What could I do to volumize it a bit? And lastig cause by the end of the school day it gets wayy worse.




Hey girl, I'd suggest using a volumizing shampoo and blowing it dry with a round brush to give your locks in body. Then spray the 'do in place.

Bonjour chicky! How about playing some some makeover ideas such as trying out a new hairstyle or playing with some makeup so you'll have some fab tricks when you go back to school. Painting your nails can also be a lot of fun.
