DIY: Rock Jar full of summer memories ~ tip #91
~SUPPLIES~
*Rocks from outside
*a sharpie
*a jar
 

Pretty simple, but you write all of your favorite memories from summer on a rock and put it in the jar.
 
You can have all your close friends write on a rock, too. Be creative! You can write down thoughts you've had over the summer... Maybe quotes that relate to you or your summer.
You can even write on a seashell, if you go to the beach.
This is really fun! I tried this last summer and ended up filling 2 jars with some help from my friends.
 
(: hope you enjoyed,

What to do when you're sore ~ tip #90 <3

What to do when you're sore ~ tip #90 &lt;3
Ahhhhh! I'm so sorry guys! I really wish I could make tips more often. School ended for me like, 2 weeks ago and I thought I'd have more time- but I was wrong. D: Summer homework and dance rehearsals, gah. :c
Anyways, onto the actual tip! x)
 

So, a lot of people are working out and trying to get fit over the summer, now that we have more time! Here are ways to help with being sore. <3
 
**WARMTH.
Heating pad, a hot bath or shower. Warmth will encourage your muscles to heal! (:
What feels reaaaaally good is to take a hot shower or bath in the morning after your workout the night before. Ahh. :3
 

**STRETCH
Just gently. Doing a hardcore stretch won't really help your muscles, haha.
 

**MOVE.
Take a slow walk or a gentle swim.
 

** ICE PACK.
Will numb your soreness and reduce inflammation.
 

**MASSAGE.
Relaxes the muscles and feels really, really good after a hard workout.
 

**STAY HYDRATED.
Water, water, water! Never can get enough of it. ;)
 

**KEEP IT EASY.
If you wanna still workout, go ahead! Just try to focus on the parts of your body that isn't sore.
 

And that's it!
If you have any requests, feel FREE to message me! I love getting messages, seriously! :)

How to: curl your hair without a curler

One year ago - 8,747 views
How to: curl your hair without a curler
Hey guys, this was requested! :)
There are actually many ways to curl your hair without a curler (even ones that may seem weird...), so here are 5 ways to do this!! (:
 
*Straightener.
If you have a straightener, but not a curler, you can use this method!
All you do is take the strand you wanna curl, clamp the straightener at the top of the strand, twist the straightener all the way around to the point that the strand is hanging straight down again- and then simply run the straightener down your strand.
If you don't understand my directions- go here. xD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgADyp_wKA8&feature=related
 

*French braid your hair before going to sleep.
This usually works the best if you have long hair. If you have short, layered hair like me it probably won't work, haha. But all you do is split your damp hair into two, and french braid both sides of your hair. Make sure to braid it pretty tightly, and take out the braids when you wake up and it should be beautifully curled/waved!
 

*With a sock.
Whaaaaaat? A sock?
It's true.
I can't really explain it in text, you'll really just have to watch this video. ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FV-YO46E8Y
 

*Take an old tee shirt or bedsheet.
Cut them into strips, and leave your hair damp for this.
Take a small amount of hair, and wrap the end around the strip. Twirl the strip until the hair is wrapped up to about two inches from the scalp, and tie it so that it will not come undone by itself.
Do it to all of your hair, wake up, and untie all of the strips.
 

*Even simpler then the idea above-
Use your finger to make ringlets with your damp hair, and pin them to your head with bobby pins.
Sleep with them in- wake up, and you'll have tight ringlet curls. :)
 
And that's it. :)
Hope you guys like it. <3

Awesome exercise: Trampolines <3 Tip #88

Awesome exercise: Trampolines &lt;3 Tip #88
Hey guys! This was requested.
So, we all know that trampolines are fun. But they're also an awesome exercise! If you didn't already know- it strengthens every muscle in your body... Isn't that crazy?
 

Here are some fun ways to exercise on the trampoline. :)
*Tuck jump
Pretty easy (but most of these are). All you do is jump & completely tuck your legs into your chest. Do it over and over again.
 
*Jump into the splits
Or as far as you can go into the splits. :)
 
*Land on your knees, and as you jump back up, land on your butt.
I used to do this all the time, and it works you out like crazy! You just do it over and over again, as much as you can, without landing back on your feet. It really works your core.
 
*Circle your arms.
It makes you loose more calories. :)
 
*Random twist with your body.
Just randomly twist your body- it's good for the abs!
 
*Kicks in the air.
Just kick one of your legs in the air, and when you bounce up again, kick your other leg.
 
*When you're in the air, reach one of your knees to your elbows and switch.
(kind of like the bicycle crunch, but in the air)
 
*Try to reach your legs straight in front of you, and lay your body against your legs.
 

And that's all I have for now!
I hope this is what you were looking for. :)
Even just jumping up and down is an excellent workout!

How to be happy~~ Tip #86

One year ago - 7,382 views
How to be happy~~ Tip #86
Hey guys :)
I think this is a pretty important tip. Because, well, being happy is important. You can't spend your entire life being unhappy. (Well, you can, but that's no fun). So, here are some tips that I hope will help you guys with that. :)
 

**Law of attraction.
Some people believe this, some don't. I'm a high believer of it, personally.
I learned about it from a book called The Secret. (Check it out- it's pretty awesome).
To summarize what's it's about, it's pretty much what you put into the universe, comes back to you. Kind of like karma, but it goes past that. If you're happy, and you put positive comments out into the universe, happy & positive things will come back to YOU. And vice versa.
It's a pretty spiritual book, but you should really check it out. :)
 

**Do things that you enjoy.
This is kind of obvious.
But, believe it or not, some people try to push it away.
Try to take a few minutes out of your day EVERYDAY to do something you love.
Like, I looove playing my guitar. I couldn't see my life without it. So I always play it as much as my time permits. Everyday. :)
So if you love playing sports, or reading, or knitting, or drawing, oorrr WHATEVER, do it everyday!
 

**Be friends with people who DON'T drag you into drama, or other negative situations.
Avoid people who do that.
People like that are everywhere, you really can't control it.
But you can control who you hang out with.
It's hard if you're close with people who are like that, it really is.
 

**Spend time with your family once in a while.
Sometimes I forget to do this.
My day consists of me going to school, coming home, doing homework and then getting ready to go to bed. I don't talk to them often.
That's why it's important to make plans with them every so often. After all, your family is your family.
 

**Appreciate what life has to offer.
I mean, I know you don't go everyday thinking to yourself, "I'm so happy I have a roof over my head", or, "It's amazing that I have food."
Just keep it in mind sometimes.
For what you think is small, really isn't small somewhere else in the world.
 

**Just remember......
You're awesome.
If anyone doesn't see it, then, well, screw them.
Don't let them be the reason for you being unhappy.
<3
 

Well, that's all for now.
I hope you all happiness. :D

Spring Hairstyles~~Tip #85

Spring Hairstyles~~Tip #85
hey guys ;D
Soooo.
I'm making a tip.
I dunno what else to say so lets just get into it. ;)
 

*hairbands:
I'm seeing this a lot at my school. People are getting pretty creative with headbands. I especially love it when you roll up a bandanna & wear it as a headband. You can also use a small scarf.
So, just keep this in mind with all of the hairstyles below. It can really make any hairstyle look cute. :)
 
*Messy bun:
when is this not in style? There's many ways to do this.
Just pile your hair messily, high up on your head. Don't think too much about it, afterall, it's supposed to be messy! Secure with a hairtie and you're done. :)
 
*Messy bun with braids:
Pretty much do the same thing as above.
Pull a strand out from each side of your head.
Braid and bobby pin it back. :)
(Especially looks cute if you have wavy hair, or you crimp/wave it before putting it up)
 
*Side braid:
any braid. Side french braid, fishtail braid (like the one in the set), dutch braid.
Find out how to do all those here ;) http://www.polyvore.com/braids_tip_35/set?id=32118037
 

*Flowy, wavy hair:
Throw all of your hair to the side, and start curling it with a large curling iron.
It should look pretty messy, just adjust it a it after you're done curling and part it so that it's just slightly over the side. Like the far right picture in this set.
Optional: add a flower ;)
 
*Flipped-in ponytail
I really don't know what this is really called.
But you basically put your hair into a normal ponytail. You pull the hair tie down just a little bit, and create a hole in your hair between your head and the hair tie. You take the ponytail and flip it inside the hole, and pull out. It's so cute and easy once you get the hang of it.
Also, doing side ponytails with this is soo cute. :)
 

*Just adding any bright, spring-y accessory to your hair.
It's easy to make hair accessories too, which are a lot cheaper.
(hmmm, next tip idea maybe? ^^)
 

And that's all guys.
I'm sure this sucks pretty badly.
Thanks anyway for reading! Hope you like it! :3

Personalizing your school stuff &hearts; Tip #83
Hey girls. :)
I guess I pretty much overdo decorating my school stuff... But I just can't handle anything plain. :P
So, here's all the ways I decorate/personalize my school stuff :) (notebooks, binders, folders, etc)
 
-Using polyvore.
You can make a mosaic of pictures/quotes you like. You can even upload pictures of your friends on here and include them. Print it out, and then slip it into your binder :)
I did this & I constantly get compliments on it and questions on how I did it. xD
 

-Using your friends.
Cut out strips of paper.
During school, ask all your friends to put anything onto that strip of paper. It can be anything they want, like a quote they like, a message to you, or a picture if they like drawing.
Take all of your friends' strips of paper and make a mosaic from the different quotes/pictures/etc.
It's really fun, plus it's special cause all of your friends helped. :)
 

-Draw a picture.
Unless you can't draw anything besides stickmen, like me.
Then you can tape it onto your folder or slip it into your binder. :)
 

-Boring notebooks?
I took a sharpie, and neatly wrote quotes all over it.
You can also get your friends to write their names on it.
 

-Another mosaic.
C'mon, they're fun to make ;D
You can also cut out stuff out of magazines. Stuff you like, think is cute, whatever. :)
Glue them onto your folder or notebook.
 

Annndd that's all my ideas for now :)
Thanks for reading! <3
