Maxi Dress Success

There are only 3 ways to wear the most popular dress type, the Maxi dress. I'm going to tell you those three ways.

1. Wear it wit a jean jacket - I love my long sleeve cropped jean jacket. I will literally wear it with anything if I could. That is why I love the Maxi dress because you can wear it with the jean jacket for a more casual style. With this though, you have to keep it simple because it is casual. 

2. Wear it with a cardigan - This is perfect if you want more of a romantic style. Having a hot date today or tonight than definitely go for it. This looks best with sandals or heels, whichever one you think won't hurt your feet. Add some light colors like pink or even red for a more girly love vibe.

3. Wear it with a blazer - This is for those times when you want to look nice and formal but not overdressed. The blazer gives it that sophisticated and respectable look while the beautiful Maxi dress makes it seem more playful and fun. In result, you get this fabulous outfit that is great for weddings or a job interview.

And those are the red ways. I hope this blog gave you some ideas on how to dress you Maxi was for the summer. Good luck!

Makeover Madness - Avril Lavigne

This is where we will show celebs who have changed over the years. We will show some of the changes they made to themselves. Sometimes there will be before and after pics. Okay, so today I am showing you how Avril Lavigne has changed over the years.

Avril was always known as the Punk Princess in the beginning of her career so when she changed from that to a girly girl, many people were confused and asking her why she was being a hypocrite. Anyways, I think the new and old Avril looked fabulous however she was dressed.

This is 2003 when Avril was just starting out. Notice the brown hair and boyish clothes which looked good and had a unique rebellious vibe.

This is her two years later. You can see now she has blonde hair. Still wearing balck but a bit more classy.

Two more years later and Avril now has pink hair. She was getting a lot of attention for one of her songs Girlfriend around this time.

Look at her two more years later. She had a successful fashion line and now perfume. She was literally on tip of the world. Once you become extremely famous, you start changing you looks. Round this time, Avril experimented with different colors in her hair.

It is now 2011 and the girl is still going strong with a new single titled Smile. You can see a difference in her appearance than like it was when she was first starting out.

It is now 2013 and you can see a major difference in her. She is no longer wearing the jeans and a tie. She has moved on to heels and skirts. No more brown boring hair. Half her head is shaven and it is blonde!

In the beginning of her career she told everyone that she didn't want to be the bubble gum pretty pop princess. She was going to be who she was, a skater. Things changed and now Avril has her own unique style that doesn't involve ripped jeans. Either way, Avril is a fashion inspiration.

How to Have Long Hair

I'm not saying that it will grow faster because I believe that healthy hair grows so fast already.

Okay, when I was younger, I use to put sand in my hair (I was and still am a weird child). Well, my hair broke off in the middle of my head. It was only a couple of centimeters long. Maybe like, one. Anyways, I remember this mainly because my hair grew back so fast. In just a month, it was almost the same length as the rest of my hair. My mom didn't put anything special on it, she just left it grow (after getting it treated).

Now, everyone harasses me about how do you get your hair so long? (FYI - I am African American. Just thought I should throw that out there.) People would wonder why my hair was so long. Honestly, I didn't have an answer. To me, it just grew. I realize that some of you might have hair that is damaged because of heat or something. Here are some tips that might help your hair get back on the right track.

1. Massaging you scalp daily helps.

2. Don't go playing in your hair with dirty hands. Germs or infections might spread from your hands to your scalp. 

3. A healthy scalp helps your hair to grow. Keep it moisturized and healthy.

4. Having a healthy lifestyle and diet helps.

5. Try not to put so much heat on your hair.

6. Don't use other people's combs or brushes. You don't know where those things have been. They could have been on the floor or in the mud for all you know.

7. Don't overly comb your hair.

8. Don't pull and tug on your hair. Tight ponytails and things like that is not helping.

9. Don't stress. Keeping stress levels down is very good for your hair.

10. There are many natural oils that can help your hair to grow like Rosemary.

I hope this helps!

How to Get a Guy to Like You

We have all been there before. Boys are a huge mystery to us girls. We don't know whether they like us, like us or just as friends. I will definitely get more into that whole signs of a boy liking you, but for right now, I'm going to tell you never before heard tricks on how to get a guy to like you.

1. If I want a guy to like me, I don't put on a show because I know he is watching. I be myself. I act natural. You gotta let the guy see how you are when you are with your friends even if it might be embarrassing because sooner or later, once you start dating, he is going to find out the truth about your weirdness (if you are weird). Be natural whenever your crush is around. Don't try to be something you're not.

2. Guys look for in girls what girls look for in guys. I personally want a guy that is funny, charming, and sweet. So I know, that a guy out there is looking for the same qualities in a girl. Keep that in mind.

3. Be confident. I'm sure that no girl wants a guy that is insecure so why would a guy want that in a girl? It makes sense to be confident. If you are one those people (like me) who are not really confident, then build up your confidence. Every morning at my old elementary school, the principal would say, "you are all beautiful, you are intelligent, and you should say this to yourself everyday because it is true." Her speech really made me feel a bit better about myself. Be confident or build up your confidence.

4. If you have never had a boyfriend before (like me, again) then don't be ashamed of it. Don't be scared of finding a boyfriend. What's the rush? You really don't have to date when you're in high school or middle school. I have met kids who are dating in the 3rd grade. What??!! Seriously, take the time that you're not dating to figure out what your want and expect in a relationship. You don't need to start dating because everyone else is. Screw everyone else! This is you we are talking about. Not them. It is okay to have never dated many guys (or girls) like the other kids. That is the other kids not you. Besides, guys love girls that have never dated before. It makes them feel special or something. (Boys are weird. It is best to try and ignore them until you need something.)

5. You don't have to be popular or outgoing to get a guy. Just be you. I have seen ugly girls (no offense) who have had tons of boyfriends before. What is their secret? They are themselves. In the end, guys choose what is on the inside. For example, there is two candy bars in the store. One has a beautiful wrapper while the other has a plain wrapper with just the name of the candy. The candy behind the beautiful wrapper is disgusting and repulsive. The candy inside the ugly wrapper is delicious, the best ever. Guys might start off with the pretty wrapper candy but they always go back to the ugly wrapper candy. Whether you're ugly or not, be genuine. It is what is on the inside that counts.
