Fashion Update: Shoes of September, 2012

NEW SHOES. NEW SHOES. NEW SHOES. There are new shoes of 2012! Check them out! These are also the shoes that are in.

1. Nike

If you would like to be casual, try Nike sneakers. They work really well and you can run fast and not trip! They are easy sneakers to use and if you work out at the gym or you run every morning then I suggest that you use Nike sneakers, if you aren't already. 

2. Wheelies

I LOVE wheelies! They might be more on the nerdy side then on the trendy side in 2012, but if you don't feel like walking, then walk in your wheelies and jump on! But here's a tip: you might want to get them on eBay or Amazon, because I haven't seen them in awhile in stores. You might want toget them on eBay. 

3. Flats

Flats go with everything. Everything. They go with the outfit listed below, they go with leggings, they go with jeans, dresses, pretty much every outfit. So if you can't find shoes to wear with your outfit, then buy yourself a pair of flats. You won't regret it (unless you practically waisted your money because your dog chewed them up...LOL).  

4. Day2Night

Last but not least, the Day2Night shoe. It changes from a high-heel to an adorable low heel. The Day2Night keeps you away from those hurtful heels that you've been in all day. The heel just comes off. You can just put it right in your pocket. It's perfectly sturdy, if you didn't see on Good Morning America (GMA) this morning. 

They range around $60. Save your money buying stilettos and flats! Get them both in 1!

Fall Fashions

You look in the store window. Ugh. Summer stuff...still. There isn't any good clothes anymore. Need help finding trendy clothes and the perfect outfits for fall? Read on and after you do you will know just what to wear!

1. Colored Jeans
Have you seen people wearing these brightly colored jeans? Ew, you think. Well, actually, they are VERY in right now. Some good colored jeans are:
Blue
Yellow (maybe)
Purple
Those are MY top 3 favorite colors for those jeans. So buy them! If those aren't your favorite colors, then find your color at Marshal's, a website, etc.

2. Dorky Glasses
Dorky glasses. They have them in prescription, fake glasses, sunglasses, and maybe even more that we don't know about. That is also a really trendy look these days. It's like, the only kind of sunglasses that most people wear! So buy them. If you don't like them, then maybe try those other glasses. I forget what they are called but they are also very retro. And if you want to be classy, just get regular sunglasses or the big ones.

3. 70s and 80s
The 1970s and the 1980s are really in right now. The dorky glasses are 80s. Some people wear their shirts tucked in, which is 1970s. Retro is really popular in 2012. Get your money out of your savings account and buy it!

4. Colorful Shirts
Another colorful thing that is in is colorful shirts. Like, the ones that are tight in the waist and they have light flimsy sleeves. Those shirts would go good with colored jeans or leggings. Use the brightly colored ones, like neon pink or aqua or purple.

5. Bracelets
Bracelets have also been kind of on the trendy side this year. Usually a charm bracelet, a friendship bracelet, or even a duck tape bracelet make an outfit. And if you can't buy a bracelet at the time, then use a brightly colored hair scrunchie.

Well, you have some of your fall things. You have completed your fall outfit:
•dorky sunglasses
•colorful, light shirt
•bracelet
•colored jeans
And don't forget...
LIPGLOSS!
Your fall outfit is complete :)

How to Get Your Crush to Like You

You aren't even paying attention in history class. You just stare at your crush, trying to think of a way to get him to like you, or to let him know that you like him. Need help with that? Then this is the right post for you!

1. Smile
You have to smile! He doesn't want to think of you as a grudge who barely smiles at all. You HAVE to smile at him. He'll smile back! Or he'll think that you're a weirdo, but who cares what other people think? Try it.

2. Crack a Joke
Crack a joke to him and make him laugh. Here's a stupid/good one which the second graders usually do:
Knock Knock
Who's there?
The Interrupting cow
The interrupting cow wh-
MOOO!!!!!
I know, its' severely stupid but a joke which will probably make him laugh.

3. Tell him...if you're brave enough
Tell him that you like him! He might make a weird face, but so what? Its not the end of the world! (trust me, that would be much worse.) He probably likes you, even if he's mean to you. Here's a secret: boys who are mean to girls usually like them! They don't know how to act, so they act mean to us girls and then they don't have to be all lovey-dovey and all. SOME boys, do know how act and they do show signs that they like you.

Those are 3 easy steps on how to get a boy to like you. If that was not enough, then go to these linked websites below:

How to Survive Your First School Dance

AAAARRGGGHHH!!! It's the 8th grade dance. You're so nervous. What are you gonna wear? What if he kisses you? What if he asks you and another girl at the same time? All of these things that you are worried about are making you not want to go, and making you miss out on a great time. Need help? Then this is the right post for you!

1. Find a good dress...imediately
All of the girls need something to wear for the dance. Get to Jessica McLintock before the dresses run out and you're stuck with an ugly bumble-bee dress. Please get there quick. Don't get there 2 days before the dance, unless you want to look like a bumble-bee with the yellow and black striped dress. Get there the day that it is announced that there is a dance going on at your school. And if it's just a little event, you don't HAVE to wear a dress. Just one tip: make sure that no one at your school is wearing the same outfit. I was gonna wear this one shirt for my dance, but I had a bad feeling about it and chose another shirt, and when I went to the dance, there was a girl that was wearing the same shirt that I was gonna buy. PLEASE don't wear the same thing as somebody else. It will look very tacky...maybe not when you were little but now in the fashion world, it is NOT acceptable.

2. Don't be afraid if he kisses you
Your dancing, your dancing. All of a sudden he gets that look in his eyes. He leans over and kisses you. It turns out bad. You don't know how to kiss! And will this gossip run around school? You turn away. You regret it. Don't be afraid! It's the moment that you've been waiting for all of your girl life. Don't turn it away when you finally get a chance for prince charming to kiss you. Just don't move your lips. Keep them natural. If you need to, you can pucker up your lips a little bit. Just a little bit.

3. Just dance away!
Have a great time! Don't be nervous! Just think about it as school, but without learning and you get free soda and food. Its a time to have fun with your friends, maybe kiss a boy, take pictures, and spy on that cute boy with no one to dance with. It's fun! Don't be afraid. Roar like a lion :) My father always says that to me when I get scared of something. It's wimpy, but it helps. (I don't actually roar.)

4. Ignore the gossip
You kissed the most popular boy in school at the dance. It goes ALL around school. That girl that has a crush on him starts saying mean things about you behind your back. Just ignore it! If you try to ignore it and/or it doesn't help, then contact a teacher or the guidance counselor. They will help the gossip stop. And also, I know this is hard, but don't gossip back. It will get you AND the girl that started the rumor that he asked you to marry him in trouble. Don't gossip in general. Roar like a lion :)

Hope this helped! Comment if you like. If this wasn't enough, then look on these sites for help, too...

How to Make Your Own Book

You are really great at writing. You want to make a book SOO bad! But you don't know how to. Looking for help? Read this post, and when you're done you will start creating a great book.

1. Suggest a good topic
Do you know what Google is for? Its for you and other people to ask other people about information, and to share posts and all that. Google search "Good topics for a book?" and a bunch of stuff will come up. I am creating a series right now, but I won't tell the public what it is until it is copyrighted and into stores. (I hope! Doing the secret...) Its a fiction story. Anyway, just look up what is above on Google and a bunch of Yahoo Answers will come up.

2. Get Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is an application on your computer. It lets you type anything on it, and upload any image, etc. Create your story on there! When your finished your story for the day, exit out of Microsoft Word and a box will come up saying something like, "Save File" and "Discard File". Click "Save File" if you want to save your story and go back to it later and continue your story, and click "Discard File" if you don't like what you wrote and would like to chose a different topic, or to start over. Another great application to try is Open Office. That is the application that I used to create my story. It lets you do several things. Write a Document, create a PowerPoint, make a Graph, etc. etc, etc. Click "Write a Document" and start creating your story!

3. ABSOLUTELY HAVE A PRINTER
You HAVE to have a printer if you want your book to be in stores, so you can print out your story and send it to a publisher. If you don't have a printer, then get a Flash Drive, upload your story onto there, take it to someplace that has a printer (most likely a library), plug the Flash Drive into the USB Port, open up your story, press the keys CTRL and P (if you are finished), and click "Print". Your story will then be coming out of the printer, staple your story together, and send it to a publisher!

                                                         

     This is where you put in your Flash Drive when you hook it up to your computer.

4. Send the story to a GOOD publisher

After you have printed your story out, send it to a publisher. Some good publishers are:

http://www.wlwritersagency.com/

Dorance Publishing

Dog Ear Publishing

Tate Publishing

http://www.choseyourauthor.com/

http://www.authorhouse.com/

Hope you like these! You may have heard of a few other publishers, too. Look inside of a book and it will probably say who it was published by, and maybe try to contact them.

Those are 4 easy steps on how to make your own book. You could also call it how to make yourself an author :).

Praise For Brad Fox

I heard tonight, on Fox 29 news, (and on Facebook) that Brad Fox had died at Montgomery County Hospital from being out on duty as a police officer and got shot in the head by an unknown suspect, who after shot Brad shot himself. Brad had a 7 month old baby at home and another one on the way. He was such a nice man. A nice smile, a nice attitude. The last time I saw him was on September 4th. I knew something that day. My mom always used to say to Brad "Stay safe out there!" but that day, she didn't. She almost had a heart attack when she found out that Brad had died. She felt so bad for his wife. And on that day, September 4th, 2012, I knew that I would never see him again. Just...something inside me just new that.
Tomorrow would have been Brad's 35th birthday. I feel so bad.
He was a K-9 cop, and his dog got shot, too, but he survived.
Leave a comment saying Happy Birthday to Brad or just..leave a comment!
Moment of silence for Officer Fox

How to Survive Middle School

UGH. Middle school. Terrible. People pushing your books over. Mean girls. Cute boys. You have NO IDEA what is going on. Need help? Them this is the perfect article for you.

Step 1. Dress Nicely
Please don't dress badly. Mean people will tease you. (Look at my Do's and Dont's article for tips on what to wear.)
So please use fashion-designer clothing, if you don't have it already. That will get you on the cool limit.

2. DON'T GOSSIP
You hear this all the time. Girls do it to you and end up getting in trouble. YOU wouldn't want to get in trouble, would you? So don't gossip even though it's very tempting sometimes.

3. Get Good Grades
Non-Survivers of middle school don't get good grades. You are a survivor of middle school, so get good grades! You'll probably get a reward from your parents, afterwards.

4. DON'T be a bully
You hate that mean girl in your class. You want to get back at her SOO bad!! Well, here's the hard part: you can't. Then you would be a bully, too! Talk it out with the guidance counselor. She/he will help you through your situation.

5. Mr. P
Middle school is when hormones start spreading all about your body. At the end of puberty, you get Mr. Red. It comes every months and it gives you a bunch of mood swings. When your bad mood swing comes, don't take it out on other people! Write in your journal, if you have one. Take a walk, ride a bike, take a hot bath, this helps.

6. Start a Club
Maybe starting a club or a website (like I did) would have you looking forward to something. "Ooo I wonder how many pageviews I got on my website today?" or "I wonder who joined my club". That should get your school wanting to join your club and wanting to look at your website.

Those are a few tips on how to survive middle school. If that wasn't enough, then look on these websites:

How to Make Friends

If you are in a new school, or you are in middle school and you and your friends got split up and are not in the same team/class/school, then here are 5 easy steps on  how you can make a few new friends, unless you are the shy one and keep to yourself most of the time :P

1. Smile at Everyone
The old 'Smile at Everyone' step. It's true! Flash those pretty teeth (if you don't have pretty teeth then I suggest that you might want to use baking soda to whiten your teeth or go to the dentist)! No one would like you to frown at them or make the evil eye at them. Be nice.

2. Ask to Sit at Their Lunch Table
Ask them if you can sit at their lunch table. They have friends, of course, so they will probably introduce you to their friends. That way you can have a few more friends instead of just being friends with that 1 person. And ask other people if you can sit at their lunch table and then you'll make even more friends. And make friends with somebody else who doesn't have a friend or who nobody talks to. And you aren't the only one that's ever felt this way.

3. Go to the Guidance Counselor
If you continue to do these things and still end up with no friends, go to the school guidance counselor. She/He might help you create some friends, and maybe you could even become friends with the guidance counselor (even though probably no one would do that, its a good suggestion for making atleast 1 friend).

4. Have a Great Attitude
Even though you are probably sad because you moved or the principal split you and your friends up, try to keep a healthy attitude, that way people can see your bright smile (pearly whites :) ), and your sunny attitude. Hold your head up high! Keep your back straight when you walk and not all slumpy. Keep little sticky notes in your locker and/or desk with motivations on them. EXAMPLE: smile at the cute boy in your class today :). That will keep you motivated to make friends.

5. Stand Up and Act
Do not be afraid. Go up to them and ask to be friends, if none of the above has worked for you. Don't be a shy guy! We all have to stand up sometime in our lives. This is your chance. And so what if they say "No"? There are many other people in your school then just that 1 person.

The Do's and Dont's of Fashion

Here are the Do's and Dont's of a girl's favorite thing...fashion. We all love it. But sometimes we are very bad at fashion, that we can't even go out into our strange world because we had nothing else to wear but plaid and stripes-together. No fashion freak wants to look like a clown! NEW UPDATE: there will also be something for people that are coming out of their tom-boy stage and into their girly-girl one. Stay tuned!
Anywho...

DO'S :)
Do wear something nice. Even in your rainy days
If you have a little pet, like a chihuaua or a pomeranian, do carry it in a little bag. It'll look to cute!
When you go out for an event, wear something fashionable, unless its a drinking party. Wear a stylish dress or a mini skirt with a cute dressy top. It'll be no doubt that you'll knock them boys dead :P :)
Do carry a bag/pockabook with you at ALL TIMES (put cute keychains on it, too)
Do wear jewelry
Do wear a fashionable charm bracelet. If you get nervous, just twirl the charm bracelet.
Do wear perfume/lotion

DONT'S :(
Don't wear plaid
Don't wear stripes
Don't look like a farmer
Don't use farmer/CB radio slang
Don't be naughty
Don't wear a furry hat (it might be fashionable, but trust me...don't wear the fur hat)
Don't wear something weird and dorky, like skinny jeans and a T-Shirt
Don't wear leggings and a T-Shirt with or without sneakers. It looks SOOOO ugly and you really wouldn't want to wear that. If you do wear that, I'm really sorry, but you can NOT wear that in public...PLEASE

Hope this helped! Comment if you like.

How to deal with Fights in a Friendship and a Non-Friendship

image from http://www.google.com/images












Having some friend trouble? Here are a couple tips on how to deal with it!
Everyone gets in fights. Everyone. Its normal to be jealous of your friend or hate them/not like them for a certain reason. Its your feelings. You can feel this way. It isn't against the law! Don't feel ashamed for ever thinking that of your best friend. Its just feelings. It will be over before you know it.

1. Take a Breather.
Take a few deep breaths to calm you down and stop your hands and body from shaking. It will calm you for a little while and if the shakiness and anger comes again later in the day, do another deep breath and relax again.

2. Go for a Walk
Walking is said to help relieve you from stress and anger with your friends. It gives you fresh air so your mind can think about what to do, and it also gives you a chance to be alone and have a refreshing walk. Take a walk by yourself or with your dog if you'd like :)

3. Talk it Out
Talking the situation out is one of the best things that you can do. It will make you and your friend(s) not hold a grudge about the fight anymore because it has been talked out. Grab your parents and your friend's parents. Say "We've been having a fight and we don't know how to fix it." You'll definetely talk it out and you and your friend(s) will become happy again. Your friend(s) can also stay at your house afterwards to talk about school or what is going on in your life.

4. Ignore
Ignore them! Even if they try to talk to you, ignore them. Pretend that they aren't there. If they walk up to you to say something, walk away. If they chase you, then hide in a spot where they won't find you or run away and tell a teacher.

5. Stop, Walk, and Talk
This is another strategy that you can use to talk it out. Just stop, walk, and talk. Stop, walk, and talk means that you stop in the middle of the fight, find the nearest adult, walk to them, then tell them what happened. It is sure to stop after that and that is another way that you can talk the conflict out.

There are a couple easy steps on how to deal with fights in a friendship and non-friendship. Get some more answers on:

How to be Popular

The popular crowd...wish you were them, right? No bullies to deal with...you look awesome...have loads of confidence...and you pretty much always get away with things that you shouldn't be getting away with. Well, here are 6 easy steps on how to be that kind of girl.
image from http://www/google.com/images






1. Have great hair.
No popular girl has frizzy or tangly hair, right? Take care of your hair. Use a proffeshional shampoo and conditioner. Herbal Essences, Redken, Paul Mitchell, all of those shampoos and conditioners that everyone knows about. Plus, it won't leave your hair smelling like nothing or even worse...bad. FOR PEOPLE WITH CURLY HAIR: I know...you've always been using a brush. But guess what...you should be using a wide-toothed comb. Using a brush tangles your hair up and makes it poof out. A wide-toothed comb makes your hair less frizzy. And also another tip-don't slap the towel on your head and rub...it will tangle your hair and make it more frizzy! I have curly hair (don't feel alone...sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that has naturally curly hair because all of my friends have smooth straight hair) and when I started using a wide-toothed comb, it looked so much better than it did when I used the brush. FOR PEOPLE WITH STRAIGHT HAIR: It would be best to use eather a brush or a comb. Just pick your brush wisely...(this goes for you curly haired people, too) if you don't you'll end up with a frizzy head of hair with some brushes!

2. Be nice.
In the movies the popular girls are usually 'smart alecs' and are mean and are definetely gossipers, but thats only because they're rich snobs (The Clique people are rich, Mean Girls people are rich...no offense to popular people who are rich! Some people are rich snobs...not all!). Who wants to be told on for being mean, anyway? It will ruin a girl's repretation. So please just be nice. If you had a bad day, don't take it out on people who didn't do anything. Punch a pillow, tell your diary or even a stuffed animal why you are in a bad mood, take a walk, talk it out, etc. etc. etc.

3. Have stylish clothes.
No popular girl wears a plaid shirt and jeans. Go on a shopping spree with your friends and buy clothes from Hollister, Aeropostale, Abercrombie and Fitch, and maybe even Justice/Limited Too. And if you'd like to be classy, you can buy from Ralph Lauren, J-Crew, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Express, Forever21, etc. Throw out clothes that are out of style/out of season and buy the new ones with some money that you have saved up in your bank account. Have some girl time with your friends!

4. Hygiene
No one would like to see a popular girl with greasy hair or smelly armpits...please take care of your puberty! Being a tween/pre-teen/teenager is one of the toughest times of our lives...thats because of dumb old puberty. Wear some good deodorant, that way you don't smell bad. Secret, Dove, Almay, Degree, Axe (there is a kind of Axe for girls), Amplex, etc. And if you want to smell even better, try these perfume and lotion brands: Victoria Secret, Bath and Body Works, April, Body Fantasies, and other perfumes.

5. Good Grades
Ok, you don't have to be a nerd, but its best that you get good grades because...1. No pop. has Cs and Ds or even worse-Fs. And 2. Once your parents see your awesome report card, they will give you an award. Everyone loves awards, right? Its good that you can finally have an award because your little sibling gets all the attention and awards, and you just sit at the table in Chucky Cheeses' sipping your soda and nibbling your pizza, jealously watching your parents crawl all over your little sister as she wins 500 tickets.

6. Create a Clique
Almost all pops have cliques. The most popular is usually the leader. Grab your closest friends and create a clique. Have a cool name for your clique, too, like in the movie The Clique, you can copy Massie and her friends and make your clique name The Pretty Committee. Here are some clique names that I got from Yahoo Answers!
1. The Glam Clan
2. The Chic Clique
3. The Pearl Girls
4. La Clique Magnifique (French for the Fabulous Group)
There are some clique names that you can use...hope you like them!
