modmodmod ok so i have a busy weekend on friday im going to a football game and the on saturday im going to a friends for a bond fire from 5 to 11 (at night) and then on sunday i have my first middle school dance what should i wear and do to my hair for all of them? and how can i make sure i get enough sleepso im not grumpy? and i have a lot of black heads and some whit ones how can i get rid of them fast? Please answer and sorry for all the questions! Thanks!Smile

 

Hey girlie,

Check out this post about blackheads:

http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/03/09/Top-picks-for-nixing-blackheads.aspx

As for your events this weekend, they're all different so you should feel free to have fun and experiment with fashion this weekend! For the football game and bonfire, jeans and a casual tee shirt should be perf. Leave your hair long or pull it up in a high messy ponytail for an easy, "didn't even try" look. But for the dance, step it up with a pretty dress and a sleek high bun. To get enough sleep, you have to be disciplined. Don't spend too much time online and don't get wrapped up in movies/TV shows. Lay down about a half hour before you actually want to sleep so you can unwind - then, try to get about 8 hours of sleep. More if possible! <3

I'm going to my first high school dance with a group that consist of my best friends since kindergarten and I'm really excited! However, i have another group of friends (that I'm not as close with but they are still good friends) who invited me to go with them too, how do I tell that group I'm going with the other group nicely? (sorry if that was confusing)

 

Hey girlie,

The great thing about dances is that you can split your time, float around to socialize with everyone, and have an amazing time no matter what. So just tell your other group that you've already been asked to get ready with another group, but you're so pumped to see them there and need to hang out a bunch once you're all at the dance together! That way, they know you're not blowing them off - and you show them that you want to hang out once you get there. <3 No need to stress!

Hi so we have these fun fridays at our school where you get to dress up as the theme and the theme for one of the fridays is "Under the sea". However i dont want to wear anything to fancy and it has to be school appropriate. I also dont really want it to be a dress. skirts fine but dress no thanks. Any suggestions??
P.S THAT days the dance!

 

Hey girlie,

I would probably wear a maxi skirt in a bright, sea-inspired color - turquoise would be so perf! Pair that with a tank top tucked in. If it has black sequins, it would be like sparkly mermaid scales! So gorgeous Smile Finish with an easy braid headband and you'll have the best relaxed summer outfit for the theme.
