Summer is winding to a close and school’s maybe already in session…but why not throw one last sleepover to celebrate the awesome summer you had and practice makeovers to get ready for the new school year?  Grab your fave beauty goodies, yummy snacks and sleeping bags and get ready for the best BTS slumber party ever!

 

Invitation to beautify

Send out adorable invitations to all your girls that give the deets on your slumber party.  Make sure to include that guests should bring their best beauty products, a sleeping bag, pillow and to be ready to party in style! You can send e-vites online or go old school with snail mail. 

 

Décor-ama

Make your party space totally spa-like by hanging fabric in cool colors (blue, green, purple) to add to the mood.  Yummy candles also set the ambiance.  Next, set up stations for hair, makeup, nails, etc.  To find super cheap spa tools, check out a dollar store, which often has brushes, nail kits and everything else you might need for just a little moolah.  Pump your favorite hits from the summer and feel free to dance and sing-along, it’s your own spa after all!

 

Spa pour moi

Each girl can pick which stations they would like to visit, and also which stations they want to help out with.  Your artsy friend will totally be into painting cool nail designs and your friend who’s a whiz with a curling iron can do hair.  Make your way around the stations to try out different looks for the new school year.  Pamper yourself to relax before the stress of homework starts again.  DIY beauty treatments are super easy to do:  Try a homemade lip scrub by combining brown sugar and olive oil.  Or, make a fun face mask by mixing lemon juice with olive oil to exfoliate. 

 

Crafty chicas

Gather all your girls to make a collage of summer fun.  Grab pics of all your friends and summer memories, along with some magazines to snip and paste.  Make the collages the perfect size to fit in your locker and you’ll be able to bask in sweet summertime memories all year long. 

 

Spa-worthy snacks

A celebratory slumber party needs shmancy snacks too!  Make a fancy dessert/drink by spooning yummy flavors of sorbet into a super-cold glass and topping with sparkling cider.  For an equally fancy snack, try making cake pops with pretty icing and special food glitter to top them off.

Hiiii Smile I am in LOVE with the peter pan style collars and I have two questions about them. First, what form should I get the collar in? (on a sweater, on a shirt, as a necklace, on a dress, etc.) Second, where can I find that piece for a good price? Thanks so much I love you gals Smile Hannah H.
